28 January 2023 – Frustration . . . and more frustration

How do you know a drama is a good one? Because I’m screaming at the screen, calling the bad guys (and actually, most of the supposed good guys, too) a bunch of rude names. The drama in question is Blind, which I started last night. At the time of writing, I’m only halfway through so it could all change later, but so far it’s absolutely brilliant. You know I love a good crime thriller anyway – there are several in my top 10 favourites – and this gives me the vibes of those dramas, particularly Mouse, which is why I think it’s going to be so good.

Ok Taec Yeon is giving the best performance I’ve seen him do, as Ryu Sung Joon, a policeman with a complicated past and present. The story deals with a lot of difficult issues (that I don’t want to give away in case you want to watch it) and has more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing. It’s frustrating, but I guess also good, that every time you think you’ve worked something out, something else happens to turn it all on its head, although I think I'm nearly there on working out whodunnit šŸ˜‰.   

Frustration has been the theme of my day, as today’s Formula E race wasn’t a great one for Jaguar, with Sam finishing fourth and Mitch finishing seventh. While it’s good that both finished, and in the points too, it was disappointing as Mitch was leading the race at one point and got penned in by another driver in the last lap, so lost another couple of places right at the end. Sam started well and made his way up the pack, but was delayed from taking attack mode which might have pushed him to the front, as a safety car was deployed. In the end, he lost a place when he did finally take it, and never managed to retake his earlier position.

I haven’t got much else to say as I want to keep watching the drama. I’m sure there’s something I’ve forgotten, but I’ll pick up on it tomorrow.

The mystery of the serial killer awaits . . . .

Better Late Than Never?

Well, to be honest, I’m not sure about that. But as I spent the whole of January and part of February getting my end-of-year music lists sor...
