Just Another Ordinary Day...

Today was less tiring than the last weekend, since my auntie (and also godmother) and the rest of her family drove back to San Jose, CA. after their 2-day 1 night stay here with us (They actually even attended the birthday party of my sister's second dog, Miko.)

Nothing much happened today, maybe because all of us are still recuperating from entertaining our guests all weekend long. I did my usual stuff and maybe a little bit more than what I'd first planned out, but it's ok I guess. I still owe a few friends response e-mails for the e-mails they sent within the week and I'll get on to answering some of them after I'm done posting here.


I finally got to watch the first episode of Queen Seon Deok (선덕여왕) and I must say it was pretty interesting even though, it is said that the first two episodes of the series would be solely focused on the history of it's real plot and main characters of the past. Of all the characters, Mi-Shil, (character played by Go Hyun Jun) stood out among the rest. I'm pretty sure she will be Queen Seon Deok mortal enemy in the future.

The description of her character at the drama's official thread at Soompi fits her to a T. Mi-Shil is the third person to the right in the drama poster seen above.

Go Hyun Jung as Mi Shil

Archenemy of Queen Seondeok. As a beautiful seductress, she held sway over kings and the elite Hwarang corps. Her duty was to promote the children of the noble class to high positions, but instead she used her beauty to seduce King Jinheung and King Jinpyeong to wield enormous power. But Princess Chonmyong and Princess Deokman opposed her and stopped her from becoming the ruler.

Basing from what I've seen so far, I'm definitely looking forward to watching episode 2 tomorrow. Queen Seon Deok airs Monday and Tuesday in S Korea. and the English subtitles get released a little bit after that. I'm actually a week late in viewing the episodes, but I'll catch up quick because I watch an episode an night. Tomorrow Episode 4 will be out.
