soulmate

I must confess, I have not been really just writing my thesis.  The past month, there were days when I wouldn't even come out of my dorm.  Sundays, I have to drag myself out of the room because I have to go to church.  The previous post about the book that I am reading, I was like only getting the topic on tax reform among developing countries.
Half of the time, (well....maybe more...okay, a lot more!) I've been glued to my notebook watching online kdramas, jdoramas, anime, movies - practically anything that would keep me from writing the thesis.  I've seen When Spring Comes, Hello, Miss!, Thank You (I even watched the finale of this drama on livestreaming at an MBC site) and am watching H.I.T and Taerung National Village.  I've seen the Japanese movies Suki-da, Nobody Knows, Heavenly Forest and am watching Liar Game and Operation Love, both on-going soaps.  Throw in the anime Rome x Juliet.  The thing is, with all these soaps and movies, I don't even know what I've written in my thesis draft.  What the... I am not even confident of what I'll hand in to my sensei on Tuesday, the deadline.
Getting to the title (I tend to write long intoductions), I've  finished watching this kdrama, Soulmate.  It was shown in Korea last year and I've heard very good reviews about it then but I was kinda withdrawing from watching kdrama at that time.  I was more into jdorama's.  Plus, I really hated the title.  However, the first few episodes were funny, the male lead kinda grows on you and the female lead - well, I am glad that she's not really that pretty and if I have a style, as in fashion, I think, I'll be happy to have hers, except for the striped jackets....I also like the fact that she got excited getting those sneakers from her old boyfriend.  Really, I'll be happy to get those pair, except the color, I saw that design in silver....
I don't really want to go on about the soulmate concept and all those things.... I'm just happy that this drama's different from the usual fare.  You know - being in love with your sibling who turns out to be not really related to you, engaging in the usual love triangle or square and of course, dying from cancer.  This one's just different.  Towards the end, I kinda regret that the characters have changed, matured or grown-up.  I think, I love them all when they were being awkward, getting drunk with their friends and asking themselves the question, is he or she the one (soulmate)???
But really, the best part is that this drama's OST is one of those things that made me thankful that I am a fan of Korean dramas.
