Making up for the terror and depression engendered by the National Geographic Channel is the incomparable show on AZN (the Asian American Network) from Korea, "Hwang Jini." Set in 16th-century Korea, this fabulous historical soap opera tells the story of Hwang Jini, a poet, musician, dance artist and Korean cultural icon. The sets and costumes are a feast for the eyes, the plot gripping, and the story relates vivid truths about what it means to be human. I adore it - even with subtitles!
Hmm...not really sure what to say here.
ReplyDeleteAh! Surprised to see I have a soul, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteAs a Druid, we belive that all living creatures, no matter how tiny, cute, and wicked they are have a soul. You just struck me more of a Blues type rather than a Soul music type.

ReplyDeleteI'm digging the angry looking fellow with the Pilgram hat, although I think he needs a sword to pull the look off. When one wears hats that may draw ridicule, it's always best to have a weapon handy.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... you really caught me off guard with this one!
