I like dramas.
Just saw a posting for a part-time job that wouldn’t pay that much less than I’m making now at my full-time job, and even though I’d end up back in an office, it’s for a nonprofit that does something I’m happy to champion. Plus it’d be a shorter commute and I’d have a regular set schedule again (weekends! what are those???).
Wish me luck and send good vibes my way as I tweak the resume and try to craft a perfect cover letter.
I don’t care how cliche that ending was, I was actually holding my breath at every missed connection and then grinning like an idiot when they met once again at the “feet of the angels.”
This show was perfect and wonderful and undoubtedly my favorite of the year. No show was able to captivate and delight me, to make me laugh and cry (almost within minutes of each other), and fall in love with an entire cast (even the grumpy ajusshi broke my heart).
Maybe it’s not a perfect drama (what is?), but it was perfect for me, and I’m thankful that JTBC and JYP Pictures went to so much effort (can you imagine the costs of filming in France? And then waiting a year before airing it?) to give me this gift. It’s a “package” I’ll forever cherish.
Also I’m still like 99.99% convinced the reason the ending of God’s Gift – 14 Days seemed so disappointing and unsatisfactory to most everyone is because Dong-chan was supposed to die by drowning which would have made for an excellent ending – but not for a finale airing less than a week after the Sewol ferry disaster.
