Multi-Faceted Soul

As I already said before, I've always liked The Adventures of Sinbad, an old fantasy series created by Ed Naha. It was full of wonder and magic (at least in its first season) and every episode had plenty of "enchanted moments".

Among them, I still remember a song sang by Maeve (the sorceress apprentice) and Doubar (Sinbad's brother) in episode 6. I've always wondered about this melody, and wether if  it already existed or was expressly crated for the show. Surely, it had a celtic sound as you can notice in the video below:
 

I'd like to report a news I've read on Bronteana's blog. It seems that Stephenie Meyer recently said that to create her character Edward Cullen,  leading male role on the Twilight series, she took inspiration from three definite literary heroes:  Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride and Prejudice,  Rochester from Jane Eyre, and Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables.


 

This is a lucky moment  for period drama lovers. Every year, among movies, tv shows and mini-series we have a lot of stuff to watch and about what to discuss.  However, between  those project still in production, It’s impossible not to  count  the new “Anne of Green gables’ prequel.

A couple of years ago I fall for a new obsession: Asian Dramas. I was a child in the eighties, and I watched a lot of Anime at the time. As a consequence since 1990, I keep on reading mangas, and I liked them a lot. Or at least, I liked them for a long time, but lately I begin to get bored. There was simply no longer something able to capture my attention. I still read them randomly, and with pleasure, but I've lost the passion.

However, recently, by chance, I ran into a new kind of internet trend. The dramas as I was just saying, and I've found myself totally hooked again about oriental things. ^^' There is so much stuff to watch that you are spoilt for choice. I've started some series without finishing them, but usually I can't stop until the final episode, (I've even watched a 16-episodes-long-show in 2 days).

The reason is that those dramas, even if full of clichés and melodramatic elements, are basically passionate and exciting. There's Love, Humour, Nonsense, Angst, just all the things that other tv-shows are beginning to lack.

Then, I'll use this post to quote all the dramas I've watched or I'm going to watch in the future, with a rating vote and some random opinions. I prefer korean dramas above the others, followed by j-dramas. I don't like that much t-dramas, even if sometimes i choose to watch them.


This one will be a Work in Progress Post, and  I'll update it each time I'll finish a new drama.

                                      

I've always jumped into this kind of quizzes here and there. But I never though to try or post them myself. But now....I think I'm going to have a new obsession :D. LJ really is a land of wonder and marvellous toys. And I don't care if I'm too grown up for this. Quizzilla is so funny. eheh

I feel so powerless. I wish I could do something more. Like going to the Great Wall to put big banners on it, or doing  other kind ot protests. But I can only show my objection here, in this simple way.
