      @kiara,
      I’m watching. Just haven’t been able to keep up with the comments. Me likey — aside from the FL character’s stalkerish possessiveness, which creeps me out to the max. (However, Seo Yea-ji is doing a dandy job portraying the writer of truly grim fairy tales.) As I expected, Oh Jung-se is knocking it out of the park with his portrayal of Sang-tae. Dang, what a terrific actor. I also can’t get over Kim Joo-hun as Ko Moon-young’s publisher / adult supervision. What a switcheroo from his appearance and vibe in RDTK2. It’s a blast to see Kim Soo-hyun again, which takes a little of the sting out of Woo Do-hwan’s enlistment this coming week.

    Moo-yeon’s duet with Eun-joo = Cuteness Overload. I stumbled across this 12-episode drama yesterday and binged it. After all this time, it was exact the remedy I needed for Orabeoni’s fate in 100 DAYS MY PRINCE. It may even help bullet-proof my heart in the run-up to the finale of THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH.

        @ndlessjoie mugyuljoie,
        My heart sank when I realized that yet another drama’s rhythm has been knocked into a cocked hat. Better to have skipped it entirely last week instead of making the intended overnight cliffhanger last a whole week. It’s cruel and inhumane, I say. Sheesh!

    Full title:
    J. S. Bach: “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” (1723)
    from cantata “Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben” BWV 147
    [“Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life”]

    Hearing this shook loose a faint memory of a hit rockified electronic version that I haven’t heard in over 40 years. Love that electric guitar break. Audio antidepressant. You can’t not feel joy when hearing it. Check out the rest of the album. Use headphones for full stereo effect. 😉

        I have his album with the song. The tune was familiar but I’ve forgotten the name of the song until your post.

          @kiara,
          I have a mental block when it comes to “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” I get it confused with Beethoven’s “Ode To Joy” (An der Freude) because they both have joy in the title. Pathetic but true. I had to listen first to “Ode To Joy” because I couldn’t quite recall the other title. So embarrassing.

          I was tickled to pieces to find Apollo 100’s version. What a blast from back in the day when you never knew what kind of music would pop up on AM radio. Cue up The Assembled Multitude’s “Overture from Tommy.” 😉

    Plays when Kang Woo-won rips up the contract in Im Ye-eun’s face, complete with parody of the MGM movie outro minus roaring lion.

    NJ Movie Trivia:

    The final resting place of “Leo,” the lion whose roar graced the intros and outros of MGM movies, is in the dorf of Gillette in Long Hill Township (formerly Passaic Township), Morris County. I could have sworn I saw a historical marker with this information on it one day while tooling around near the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. (The Great Swamp is the remnants of glacial Lake Passaic, which formerly covered much of northern New Jersey. It is the headwaters of the Passaic River, and the source of much disastrous flooding downstream as urban and suburban sprawl has sprung up on the floodplain).

    This is such an iconic music.
    I loved this movie so much when I watched it for the first time (I must have been 12 or 13), that when I discovered we had the novel by Leon Uris, I devoured it.

      @eazal,
      I never watched the movie or read the book, but I’ve always loved the music. I was a little squirt when the movie was released, and even then was moved by the epic grandeur of the orchestration, and that immortal melody. That was back in the days when AM radio played an incredible range of popular music that included OSTs from stage and screen that have gone on to become standards.

      @isthatacorner isa,
      Sorry to be the bearer of bad news… But I couldn’t ignore Little Richard’s passing.

      I’m a bit philosophical about it, I guess. He lived to be 87, and did it his way, in a demanding profession. So many rockers (Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison, to name a few) didn’t even make it to 30. He managed to survive cocaine addiction, and has outlived them by 60 years. Not that it’s a contest or anything.

      Little Richard and his mentor, Esquerita, blasted rock ‘n’ roll into the public consciousness in the conservative postwar “Fabulous Fifties.” I was born the year he lit the fuse with “Tutti Frutti,” and I simply cannot imagine life without rock in all its forms and permutations. He wasn’t the first rock ‘n’ roller, but he sure let the genie out of the bottle. 😉

        I had read it already but still. All i could think of was an article in rolling stone like 20 years ago. They had the current crop of popular musicians write about the legends and Little Richard chose to write about himself instead of allowing someone else to write about him and the whole thing was how no one respected all that he brought to the business and that while his peers were being reveered he was looked at as a sideshow.

            Yeah, I thought it was older than this though–but 10 years ago is still a pretty decent amount of time.
            Its insane to think of what all he’s added to the rich history of music. He was out there touring during the height of segregation in the US–unable to get into clubs and restaurants that he was supposed to perform in. Not getting paid for his work. I think he’s right though, when he said it doesn’t matter where his name is put on the list he’ll never get the respect he deserves. He’s someone that I would love to watch a biopic about–even if he weren’t so fascinating a figure of his own just to watch about the depth and breadth of his career would be interesting!
