One Korean drama

One drama from Korea is very popular in Japan which features old Korean royal court life.Though it's a kind of success story of a starring woman who has promoted to finally be an Emperor's subordinate,she has many hardships to overcome.Recent scene was one of a highlight when Changm returned to a royal court life as a female doctor in order to revenge for vicious cooks who drove her away to the desolated island.So Changm used to be also a cook but what impressed me above all is her tenacious attitude who once was derailed from social ladder to be an honorable head cook returned from unexpectedly different aspect by being a doctor after having studied medical science from the beginning.

Following such long story,what I felt delightful while watching the drama was when Changm's enemy in the court's kitchen was amazingly shocked to notice her again and started to worry if she might be revenged for herpast ill-treatment toward her.

However,there is more important thing I learned other than revenge story.What I overlapped myself with her way of life is that I also seek for social promotion that is quite different one from conventional route prepared for limited number of elite guys.

In my case I suffered mental illness that derailed me from social promotion ladder.

Ultraman's brother

Ultraseven is a hero made in Japan whose brother is an another famous hero Ultraman.There is one story in it which was banned on air because the alien in that story has a horrible mark of wound in his face suffered by the atack of an atomic bomb and the association related to atomic bomb sacrifices had a claim on it.You can easily imagine that as a result this film became a rare item among the Ultraseven maniac.

Today my friend told me the website where online free watching of this film is available.I wonder why that website came to obtain this rare film and started to offer such grateful service.

One old Japanese cartoon

Among Japanese old cartoons,there is one cartoon with a starring boy living under the sea which became popular as well as in USA.He fights against various enemies living in the sea,but one peculiar good point of this cartoon is that there is few violent scenes unlike other cartoons.Besides,the starring boy Marine sometimes try to help even an enemy when he was exposed to danger though off course he once tried to kill Marine.His pure mind impresses us a lot and it surely has good influence to nurture young children to be good adults.

I still like watching such old cartoons that I used to enjoy in my childhood.I hope I can keep on cherishing young pure and innocent mind even after getting much older.

one Japanese entertainment TV show

One article of yesterday's Daily Yomiuri Newspaper delighted me much because it featured my favorite TV comic show which has continued for 40 years in Japan!This show called Shohten has every panelists from Japanese traditional Rakugo performers who's role is quick response to the riddles given from the host person.When someone gave witty answer,he'll be awarded with a Zabuton cushion in order to let panelists compete who'll sit on as many cushions as possible.What I was impressed most about that article was following passage describing how one loses their cushion sheet. "IF a comedian comes up with a sick,overly silly or predictable response,or if someone in the audience beats him to the punch line,he loses one of his coveted cushions." Yes,there is one silly comedian who always intentionally give some predictable response and allow the audience say his punch line which makes another fun.
Anway I should say it's amazing that I and my parents have kept on watching this TV show since my childhood though other things has changed a lot.
