144. Angel's Last Mission: Love

 KDrama no. 144 - O Anjo do Amor ***

SPOILER

Ela era um primaballerina, cheia de si, mas perde a visão e os pais. Torna-se pior ainda, maltrata todo mundo, faz exigências descabidas, grita, tem faniquitos. Ele é um anjo meio atrapalhado que a salva da morte certa, quando não devia. Como castigo, vai precisar ensinar a ela o que é o amor. Tarefa árdua e ele não tem um pingo de paciência. Neste meio tempo, ela recebe um transplante de córnea e passa a enxergar, mas tem problemas de locomoção como trauma. Enquanto isso, a família imediata dela quer tomar conta dos negócios altamente lucrativos de uma fundação cultural e tem um diretor artístico que não se sabe se é do bem ou do mal rondando a casa...

Parece que o ator foi escolhido a dedo: ele tem cara de garotinho travesso, seus olhos parecem estar sempre brincando, seu sorriso tem covinhas, está constantemente despenteado...

Acho um pouco exagerado a quantidade de lágrimas e os "vai e volta", mas... entretem.

Só Cinco Noites

 

Quando Gian leva a mão para acertar o rabo de cavalo, a camisa sobe na cintura e consigo ver a lateral de seu torso. A loba dentro de mim quer arreganhar os dentes. Prendo a respiração para me controlar, mas não consigo evitar lamber meus lábios. Que pedaço de homem gostoso!

Porque se tapar o olho, ele não enxerga!

143. My Royal Nemesis

 KDrama no. 143 - My Royal Nemesis ***

SPOILER

I usually follow some groups of kdramas fans on Facebook and as soon as the new one featured in Netflix the buzz started: My Royal Nemesis. Much was said about the male actor, almost nothing about the story. Polemics were raised around him being beautiful or not, or rather, being ugly or not. According to my appraisal he is ugly, but his presence and interpretation of the powerful CEO and scarred prince made beauty be irrelevant. Also, he loved intensely and was not easily abated by the obstacles in his way to tame the lady who was always in distress, but fought like a lioness before surrendering to her fate. His character smiled scarcely and made us crave to see his face relax. Mostly dressed in dark colours, the last scene shows him at ease and wearing white, playing around with his loved one. Although I applaud his performance, much has to be said about the writers who gave him an excellent text and tempo. A note about onscreen positioning: I abhor Korean actors who are constantly with their hands in their pockets irrespectively of the situation. Heo Nam-Jun commits a terrible mistake while sitting with his hands in his pockets: it is such a terrible pose, so ridiculous!

The story is about a comet that is crossing the sky in the Joseon era and the present time. Some freak happening of nature sends a condemned lady from the palace where she lives to the street smack into the CEO’s life. They hate each other immediately but he is the only one she can turn to for help in this strange place and he slowly feels sorry for the mad woman. A big mistake/fault in the story line is that, at first, she is a concubine being punished for cheating. However, the rest of the time, she is just a lady of the palace who falls in love for a retired prince.

142. The K2

 KDrmano. 142 - O K2 ****

SPOILER

Ela é uma pobre menina rica, cuja madrasta a odeia e persegue. A megera tenta mantê-la longe do pai, em escolas internas, orfanatos, abadias, mas a guria sempre dá um jeito de escapar. Por duas vezes, o destino faz com que se encontre com um também fugitivo e ela pede ajuda, mas a situação não é favorável. Num terceiro encontro desse tipo, ele é contratado para ser guarda-costas da garota e a madrasta o apelida de K2, sendo que o K1 reveza com ele na função.

Uma observação: K2 é o apelido da montanha mais alta e mortal da Ásia.

Embora o casal se apaixone, K2 é extremamente fiel à megera, que tem uma carta na manga com relação a ele. Percorrerão um longo caminho até a liberdade.

Passion

 

By Mr Greg Knowles (Arabian Horse Owner, Trainer, Handler)

 I learned something today that surprised me, but a lesson we all need to heed. Taryl, our executive director at Arabian Horse Association of Arizona, always gives me some free passes to the Scottsdale Show so that I can pass them out to folks that live in the greater Scottsdale community. 

I give tickets to the dry cleaners, the grocers, the tack store, anyone and everyone. So this morning, while at the gym I go to, yes I go to a gym six days a week, but thats another story, only about 10% of the people in the gym were interested in going to the World famous Scottsdale Horse Show even with a free pass. 

Man, I was disappointed, but what I quickly learned, we as a breed are still not educating, getting the word out about these amazing horses. I spent some time explaining the virtues of the Arabian Horse, and convinced some more of the folks at the gym to come out and meet some Arabian Horses up close and personal. 

I am a nut about trying to continually bring new people into our world. My point, don't take our love for our world for by face value, go out and tell the story, let them touch, hug, smell this incredible creature and I promise some, maybe many, will fall in love. 

For me I continue to think of ways to introduce this horse to as many people as I can. For today, I am spending my afternoon handing out free passes right next to the "Girl Scout Cookie Stand" outside my Fry's grocery store. I am committed to promote and market the Arabian Horse.
