No, I’ll have to add them to my list. I’ve watched every version of Boys Over Flowers except for the Bollywood one, Business Proposal (which stars Dylan Wang from the 2018 Meteor Garden remake), Crash Landing on You, Something in the Rain, One Spring Night, just finishing Was It Love?, too many others to name. I need to start Pachinko just because I have such a crush on Lee Min- ho.

Did you see Lee Min-ho in The King: Eternal Monarch? He was also in the Heirs. The male lead from Crash Landing starred in Secret Garden too. There are too many to see. The ones I named are all by the same scriptwriter; she's one of the powerhouses of Korean television. The finite number of episodes makes them so well-crafted.

Admittedly it is women's porn. But so long as I am aware of that I enjoy them hugely.

(I’m also enjoying it because it’s the first time I’ve seen a main character having hypothyroidism as the plot premise).

People you meet along the way:

As y’all know, my dating life since my divorce has been - interesting! But one story I think I never told happened a couple years after my ex left, after my first post-divorce boyfriend broke up with me. A much younger guy approached me online (yes, I think he had some Mrs Robinson fantasy) and although it sounds creepy, it wasn’t - he was actually smart, and funny, and sweet, and adorable. We never met in real life (he lived a couple hours away at the time) but for a time we exchanged sexy fantasies and talked about life. Something I’d never done before or since but with him it felt safe and friendly and sexy, not creepy at all.

The sexy stuff stopped when I moved on to a new boyfriend, and he eventually married and moved home to the Midwest. We drifted out of touch for a bit but later he found me on Facebook and friended me. Everything is G rated now, but we have stayed friends and occasionally chat about life. I lost my mom, he lost his dad. We talk about movies (he’s a film editor) , politics, current events. This is an occasional thing, not frequent. We just happened to be chatting last night when the news about Shinzo Abe came out and we talked about that.


Anyway - my point is - if there wasn’t the age gap, and we had met when I was young? I think we would have been crazy about each other, and probably happy together. Instead, we just have this funny, warm friendship and mutual admiration society that anyone else might think is weird. But it’s lovely and one of the nicest things OLD ever brought me.

Being open to new experiences after my divorce has brought me some strange things, but this lovely friendship is one of the nicest strange things.

7 months since CMM’s passing, and the protective initial numbness is wearing off. This weekend I cried when the robot boyfriend died in my Korean drama. ( I’m not normally a crier).

Got the sad and shocking news that a man I know died suddenly of a heart attack yesterday. He was probably my age or a little older. He had a radio show back in Connecticut and was a big fan of my bestie who I play music with. He interviewed us for his show last time we were touring there. We were Facebook friends and he was a genuinely nice guy who was friends with everybody.

He had white hair and since I’ve been growing out my white hair, he always had encouraging comments. Comments on his FB page from others show he was always this kind and nice with everyone.

Remember, everyone - none of us are promised tomorrow. Don’t let focusing only your past keep you from living today and tomorrow.
