jewel is not auntie

i'll say it once only.. Jewel in the Kitchen ain't an auntie show... and it's a kickass good show with an intricate plot, cute gals, wicked villians, and a nice nice ending as usual. and SURPRISE! it doesn't even have as much crying scenes as most Korean Shows would have had.. (yeah.. I positively loathed Autumn and wadever Winter Sonata crap with their innumerable irritating scenes of girls and guys weeping and weeping like they suddenly heard they kena Stage 4 cancer like that)

the only drawback is that the show is really darn slooow and long... 19 CDs of dunno how many hours that you have to plough through just to watch the good triumph... so the solution? watch at x2 speed... where the people speak in a slightly more stilted fashion and chop food with Martin Yan's grace and speed, and move around like normal Singaporean office-workers at City Hall.. =)

so i really recommend the show... those who still think it's an auntie show just cos it talks mainly about preparing food and palace intrigues, then well.. ok lor.. go back to your brainless Initial D crap lor..

oh well,
