Yesterday all the internet asoiaf places were filled with hot discussions about GoT's finale season. Having started as a fan of the books I didn't found the live action perfect. But I must confess that I grew fond of it. And I won't deny I'm going to miss my asoiaf mondays from now on. 

GoT is a complex and complicated story, with so many characters and so many levels of narration. So, obviously, in the last episode we had not one, but several closures about each different storyline. Endings had been craftily built all along the whole series, which culminated in at least three damn epic climax. Seriously, everyone was squealing and screaming. It's not professional, but is so funny to enjoy the vision with the fandom.

 Now I'm ready to marathon the Borgias. I need to fill the sudden hole in my fannish heart with some other goood period stuff.

Several new western tv-shows inspired by fairy tales will start this fall.  Needless to say that I'm in. I've always loved everything related to fairy tales, and I usually like live-action somehow based on them,  both strictly faithful or re-imaginings.


First there is ( Grimm )


I'm much more interested in ABC's  ( Once Upon a Time )


( Fables )

I have no wish nor intention to go on with the disappointing Camelot, and I'll wait for The Borgias to be finished so that I can marathon it. But I'm diligently following Game of Thrones. And those are my initial thoughts so far...

One last thing. It looks like those three fandoms are continuing to be stricktly connected to each other. I've found this wonderful video on YT

Spring has come, and I was in the mood for a template change. Since I like too much my beloved Flexible Square, and I didn't want to give it up for some cooler and less simple layout, I've just refreshed, header and color palettes, as always.

So from now on I'll store in this post the screenshots of my past layouts, under the cut ^^.

News from KDramaland: I've already said that there's nothing really interesting to watch right now. Or at least, less interesting if compared to last year. Though, there are two titles about whom I'm taking a mental note, since I'm going to give them a chance in the future. And a new on air vision too.

The first one is ( All That Glitters )

The second title is ( Birdie Buddy )

I'm also watching  ( 49 Days )

I'm totally into period dramas lately. I've missed them, and it's a pleasure to listen to dashing gentlement, elegant ladies, or wild knights speaking in a perfect british english all over again. And my long time neglected to watch-list is really, really huge now... so I think I'll start some period dramas ramblings just like I'm already doing for asian stuff.


( Downton Abbey: The ending )

( Camelot: Pilot )


( The Borgias: Pilot )

Everybody (in period drama fandom) is now talking about three upcoming tv shows, and the hype is growing stronger day by day even if there are still two months left for spring to come. I wanted to put down some ramblings about my fannish thoughts, with an additional couple of screencaps. But why bother, if there are people on You Tube who already do a wonderful job putting the 3 of them together like this?





( Game of Thrones )



( Camelot )( Camelot )




( The Borgias )


Kdramaland, you have to come out with something really cracktastic to make me turn away  from this glorious party.

After a roller coaster year where I was completely immersed in KDramaland, I'm kind of neglecting this wonderful place at the moment. And for many reasons.

1. First and foremost, I'm a bit tired to be tangled with on air visions. Viikii has changed his policy again and it's hard and annoying to follow their tantrums.
2. Secondly I kind of prefer to wait for a whole drama to be finished and ready to be marathoned wherever I am in the mood.
3. Third, I'd planned this resolution long ago, but I've made an exception for a certain drama, which turned out to be the worst thing ever. So, starting from this moment, I'm going to choose only pending and finished titles for a while.

I'm not interested in any on the new Kdramas currently airing.  Everybody is into Dream High and My Princess, but honestly I'm not really in the mood for them, even if maybe I'll put DH on my to watch list, together with Secret Garden (which I'm not going to touch until I've watched Damo). As for the rest, I couldn't care less about Sign, Midas, the Duo, Paradise Ranch and so on.

I'll try first to finish  Painter of the Wind, and to watch Portrait of a Beauty (they are both based on the same novel). Then I'll turn my attention to some long time pending dramas. I think I'll resume first Que Sera Sera and then Time Between Dog and Wolf and Cat Street. And speaking about Doramas, I'm very curious about Honey and Clover, both Japanese and Taiwanse adaptations.

But it's everything on an hypotetical basis. Because I'm much into western shows right now, and starting from April, Period Dramas will be my priority.


KDramaland, you are on Idle this one time.
