The Grissom Sara Romance (GSR)

Yes, The CSI Season 7 is back...back on AXN!!

So far, Season 7 has been more exciting than Season 6...and CSI fanatics will remember the last scene in Season 6 showing Grissom and Sara sharing an inimate moment in bed. This series continues their relationship....again the kinda "暧昧" type of relationship ...

Well, according to 梅田 from 花样少年少女, the most romantic type of love is where love is kept secret....and to me, I agree totally....bittersweet but heartwarming....

Anyway, here's a spoiler for you...One of the episodes shares a scene where Grissom writes Sara a letter while he is away. In his usual intelligent and "totally cheem" style....he has to quote a sonnet from Shakespeare...

******

Sara,

Our parting was awkward. I don't know why
I find it so difficult to express my feelings to you.
Even though we're far apart,

I can see you as clearly as if you were here with me...

I said I'll miss you, and I do....

Shakespeare can express (my?)... better than I...

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:
So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away art resent still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them and they with thee;
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.

Ahh....poetry....

A serious case of addiction

First of all, a Happy Chinese Piggy Year to all my fellow bloggers and friends. Have been really busy the past months and with work and tv, I didn't have much time to update my blog...*haa*

Anyway, it looks like I will not be able to achieve my SMART Goal of not watching too much tv and korean/hk drama series afterall. We have just crossed the 1st quarter of 2007 and I have already completed watching the following series in VCD/DVDs (the below does not include the series which I watch on Cable Channel 55!!!):

1. Which Star Did You Come From? (Korean Drama) 2 *
2. The Wedding (Korean Drama) 1 *
3. The Rookie (Korean Drama) 1 *
4. Supernatural 2 (US) 3 *
5. Heroes (US) 3 *
6. Sweet Property (TVB HK Drama) 2 *
7. Land of Wealth (TVB HK Drama) 3 *
8. The Charm Beneath (TVB HK Drama) 3 *
9. Hana-Kimi (Taiwanese Drama) 4 *

4 * I’m thinking about the series, the plot and the stars night & day….Serious case of addiction!
3 * I’m Hooked! Going without sleep….It’s 2am but still gotta go on watching….
2 * Watch if got time and no other things to watch
1 * Don’t waste time, give this a miss…zzzzzzzzz

My latest addiction is the new Taiwanese idol hit Hana-Kimi (starring Ella of SHE and Wu Zun of Farenheit). The plot though simple and common, is heart-warming and really cute and hilarious. The synopsis goes like this:

After watching a high jump competition on TV, Lu Rui Xi is so inspired by a jumper named Zuo Yi Quan, she decides to transfer to his school. The problem: she is a girl, and he attends an all-boy school. Solution: She becomes a boy. Thus, she begins her uphill battle to disguise her true gender and show Quan she is his #1 fan.

What Rui Xi doesn't know is that Quan has discovered her secret. However, he is keeping the secret for her and from her. Why? He likes her and doesn't want her to leave his side. If that means treating her as one of the guys and helping her passing off as a guy, then so be it.
Rui Xi's "manliness" couldn't fool her classmate Jin Xiu Yi's girl radar. However, since Xiu Yi is under the assumption that no girl can attend all-boy school, he starts to question his own sexual orientation when he falls in love with Rui Xi, the boy.

Like what odd melody mentioned, Wu Zun is really good looking. Besides his good looks, he has a good bod to boast as well. (salivate yet again…). Ella on the other hand is ermm… really funny looking and if one looks carefully, she actually has a moustache! Anyway, I do feel that the stars’ acting is a tad too expressive for my liking but it’s the typical taiwanese fashion. Overall, the series is very enjoyable and I was laughing all the way….

Ella as Lu Rui Xi 盧瑞莃 (manga: Mizuki Ashiya)
Wu Chun as Zuo Yi Quan 左以泉 (manga: Izumi Sano)
Jiro Wang as Jin Xiu Yi 金秀伊 (manga: Nakatsu Shuiichi)
Tang Yu Zhe as Liang Si Nan 梁思南 (manga: Nanba Minami)

Tang Zhi Ping as Mei Tian 梅田 (manga: Umeda Hokuto - the school doctor
