some things you just don't learn

i confess to being a recent victim of the addictive powers of korean drama series my lovely sam soon. despite its tragically lousy english title, the show is actually really good. i am usually v v cynical when it comes to relationships/ triangles in tv dramas - i groan with jadedness when things get soppy, i swear under my breath when happy endings roll out like there is no yesterday nor tomorrow, i roll my eyes silently when... well, you get the idea

but horrors of horrors, i found myself empathising with the two-timing male character in the show. for once, having feelings for more than one person doesn't come across on-screen as completely implausible and sensationalised

the star of the show apparently put on many kg to play the part of a "fat baker". this angle disturbs me somewhat because 1) she's really not that fat, and 2) apparently 73% of korean women think they're fat

like, hello? i've been to south korea twice and i can definitely confirm that less than 7 in 10 women can be classified as "fat" (we are talking aesthetical categorisation here)

haha i guess i'm being a bit touchy about the "fat" issue in the drama because i've been eating quite a lot ever since i've been back. motivated obviously by thoughts of consecutive drab pasta meals that i will subject myself to, once i'm back in london

.

speaking of london

after weeks of tears and fears and soul-searching not to mention massive billings

it's really time to move on and look ahead
