I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

All in is really turning out to be a good serial. Sure there is the obligatory love story. That’s a given. But it’s a tragedy without being overly weepy.

If there are three Korean Dramas you have to watch – besides the flaky funny love stories I succumb to for the eye candy – these are it:

1. Fashion 70s: set during the Korean War, about a pair of girls whose lives were switched.
2. Lawyers: has my favourite Kim Sung Soo in it as a diabolical lawyer who is more than he appears to be.
3. All In: stars my favourite Korean of the week, LBH. He’s way hot for an old guy, but he’s got that low maintenance look that is rare in a Korean film star.

Ah hah! Looks like Lee Byung Hun speaks English. And pretty well too. That gives him another 10 points in my little black book.

Speaking of books, I’m convinced that 40% of a book’s success is it’s title. Honestly. Thats why no one wants to read something called A Book on C/C++ but everyone would want to read something called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Similarly, who’d read something like Short stories: All the Stories I Failed to Complete, when you’ve stuff like Angels and Visitations, Smoke and Mirrors and now, Fragile Things.

Love Neil Gaiman. Now I just have to go home and figure out if I’ve already got Angels and Visitations before I order it again.
