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.

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

141. Holo My Love
KDrama no. 141 - Holo Meu Amor ****
SPOILER
She cannot see faces properly, therefore, is very shy, has no friend, is considered nasty at her office and is treated accordingly. Her life changes when a pair of glasses is put in her bag and it is not a common pair of glasses but a state-of-the-art tool that connects the person wearing it to the hologram of a powerful AI. It happens that it has the image of a boy, a handsome one, a gentle guy, intelligent, attentive, specially invented to cater to the glass wearer’s most inner wishes. And so, the girl falls in love with the AI named Holo.
The inventor of the
thing is a lonely boy who, needing a friend, a company, made Holo with his own
image. Nan-Do has to get the pair of glasses back and will inevitably have to
face the girl in order to retrieve it. Now you can imagine the confusion.
Very worth watching.
Note: the music score is on point!
