Inspirational kind of seems a bit flippant, but

I'm not really sure how else to describe Liu Zhu. I'm pretty sure YesAsia won't be carrying this, but I really hope it does well. The songs are wonderful.

I started watching Playful Kiss this afternoon, and while I'm still not so keen on Kim Hyunjoong (or his character), Oh Ha-ni has completely stolen my heart. It probably helps that her actress is pretty much the cutest thing since Qmi, but I think mostly I just like the show because I identify so strongly with this kind of heroine. She's not the brightest, not the most ambitious or driven, but she's good-natured, hard-working (or close enough, when she's got the right incentive), and clearly a decent friend/daughter/person. Also, Ha-ni's two best friends are hysterical, Seung-jo's mom is quite possibly one of my absolute favorite whacky mothers ever, and I adore what little of the father/daughter dynamic we've gotten to see thus far.

(And, am I mistaken, or is Ha-ni's teacher Chae Rim's coworker from Oh! My Lady? ♥♥ She is always so awkwardly entertaining.)
