Ugh. RL is not quite going my way right now. BUT we are training someone to be an Assistant Manager and in about a week or so, I might be able to get back to 5 day weeks (2 full days off!) so there's that.

I watched that Kdrama I won (You're Beautiful) in 3 days and I kind of fell in love. I always go into these shows thinking I won't get attached to the characters, it won't make me cry, I won't care about the couples, etc. And then I fall. Hard. (At least most of the time.) I'm also not usually a fan of the quiet, seemingly cold main guy who just happens to be the female's love interest, but Tae Kyung won me over. Turns out he's adorable, makes stupid faces, and acts like a DORK in love ♥

( Oh, and one of the best scenes from the show (and one of the reasons I love Asian dramas so much) )

I just realized I'll be leaving for my two week Eurotrip in a month. I'm trying not to focus too much on the countdown because it'll drive me crazy. I did get my Doctor Who and I Love You Phillip Morris books in the mail so that's taken care of. I've started a list of what I want to bring, but I think on my next day off I should really take stock of what I have/need and what can fit in my suitcase.

In the meantime, work is getting suckier and I've started ANOTHER Kdrama, Queen of Housewives. This time for Yoon Sang Hyun, aka this guy:




( I'm also kind of in love with his voice [AND THIS SONG] right now. )

I will say it's definitely (and FINALLY) different from the other Kdramas I've seen. Not my favorite so far, but it's interesting enough.

And really, I don't have anything else to say. I'm just hyper and not able to sleep atm. Actually I'm starting to crash now. Tomorrow is going to suck a little bit so I should get some rest. 'Night.

Work is kind of stressful right now. I'm trying to think about work only while actually there so I don't go and have a panic attack. I've only been there since late November, but I already know I won't be doing this forever. Anyway, day off. Don't wanna think about it.

Even though I'm a little late to the party, I have fallen completely head over heels in love with the Korean drama Coffee Prince (which I just finished today - 18 hours in 8 days).

Title: 커피프린스 1호점 (The Coffee Prince's 1st Shop; a.k.a. Coffee Prince)
Episodes: 17 + Special
Broadcast Period: July 2, 2007 - August 27, 2007
Main Cast: Yoon Eun Hye, Gong Yoo, Lee Sun Gyun, Chae Jung Ahn

SYNOPSIS: The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"? - DramaWiki

At first, I thought I'd give it a shot because it sounded fun and I'm a sucker for 'guy falling in love with girl pretending to be a boy' stories. However, it quickly turned into much more than that.

( I love you more. )
