Winter sonata

Staying up to finish a book or a film/drama can be an exhausting business, especially when one has to get up early for work five days a week as well as other business to attend to. After a few days like this, eye bags will appear/deepen, acnes show up, and one might even find it difficult to concentrate at work.

But then whenever this happens, it is also the moment when I feel exceedingly happy - for the fortune of coming across such a captivating work, be it a philosophical/painful reflection on life, or purely for its entertainment value.

I have had many such moments in life, and the most recent ones come from a surprise source (for me), that of Korean dramas. In my new and limited exposure to this genre (yes, they one of a kind), my favourites are:

My Lovely Sam Soon
Winter Sonata
My Girl
Full House

I should point out that in my eyes, none can compare to My Lovely Sam Soon - in its scripts, comic value and great performance from all sides.
