Love reading your comments, especially your nostalgic musings on some of the classic, older dramas. (P.S. Have you watched ‘Sealed with a Kiss’ by Hawick Lau and Ying’er? If you have, I’m rather curious about any thoughts you might have on it.)
I’m sorry it look a while to reply to your comment, but thank you! No, I haven’t seen Sealed with a Kiss. However, I’ve read about it so I know the general premise. From what I know, it’s quite intense and the character Hawick plays is essentially a sadist and stalker 😛 Don’t know if its my cup of tea haha.
