Black-and-tan Jindo dog chasing ducks

My father moved to the country made a big pond in front of his house a couple of years ago and started to bring up ducks to catch bullfrogs after losing his sleep over the croaks of frogs.
Then one day the ducks and their ducklings all disappeared in a single night.
Next morning one of the creature's body was found under a 60-year-old ginkgo tree my grandfather planted.


Even though the old man smelled a rat, he couldn't punish the criminal without mercy. 
Black-and-tan Jindo dog named Mooggoo (means 'black dog' in Chinese) is not only our family dog but also my dad's friend.

My father sincerely cares for Mooggoo as one of his family members although the troublemaker once stole an underwear of grandma in the town.

When he was a puppy he was kidnapped(?) and my dad searched high and low for his lost baby. One week later he finally came back home wasting away to a skeleton when the owner was about given up on finding him. I think dogs are better than people at times.

Recently my father breeds ducklings again to prepare for summer. 
They are quite grown now.
I hope two different species of animals can be friends this time.

The video footage below was recorded yesterday.
Mooggoo looks swimming but I think he is actually walking in the shallow pond. :)

About love like full moon from 'The Handmaiden (Agassi)'

The Handmaiden Agassi main poster
The Handmaiden (Agassi)
The Handmaiden (Agassi), which was invited to the 2016 Cannes Film Festival in France as the newest release of a famous South Korean director Park Chan-wook, has caused much controversy because it is more commercial than artistic compared to his previous works like Oldboy or Thirst.

In conclusion, I don't agree with your opinion.

Kim Min-hee dog tooth
Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee)
Sook-hee (Kim Tae-Ri) dulls the edge of the dog tooth of Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee) in a bathtub using her finger wearing a thimble as if she takes care of a baby of her own. The scene gives us a hint of things of coming between the two in a roundabout way with weirdly obvious behavior.

Big differences of viewpoint between man and woman about same-sex relationships in the film pretty baffles me. A few erotic scenes made me remind a respectful religious ceremony, not just about sexuality. My eyes were even moist while watching a stark-naked body because I truly understood that the young ladies wholeheartedly love each other free from gender, social position, and nation, etc.

I had waited for my soulmate -Mr. Right, ideal type, or life-long mate... whatever it's called- till I turned thirty-five deciding not to pick out someone for the simple reason that I was old enough to get married. (Luckily my husband suddenly appeared in an unexpected place.) Even though the situation is totally different, I identified with Hideko who was supposed to wait to meet the one without any promise.

Men show us dirty and hypocritical behaviors, while women are very straightforward and sincere about their love and lives. 
Although Ha Jung-woo (Count Fujiwara) and Cho Jin-Woong (Uncle Kouzuki) delivers outstanding performances, it is hard to look at the two brilliant actors lovely.

Agassi can be a happy ending or sad ending depends on how you see it.
Personally, the full moon of the final scene is touching.
The movie makes me want to read its original novel 'Fingersmith' by Sarah Waters.

My favorite scene is that Sook-hee puts a suitcase under the wall(?) for Kim Min-hee to step on to a new world. With the scene, I feel free, too. (I cannot find any image of it.)

About my people and growing older from Dear My Frieds (Dieo Mai Peurenjeu)

Dear My Frieds Dieo Mai Peurenjeu
Recently I watched Dear My Friends, a new South Korean television series starring Go Hyun-Jung and Jo In-Sung, by chance. 

Go Hyun Jung
Jo In Sung
I can't deny that the glamorous heroin and the former top model grabbed my interest for the first time. But I found myself smiling and weeping at the same time while watching its first episode "Sorry, I'm not Curious About You Guys". and I started to download the other episodes at once.

Lee Gwang Soo
It's a story about ordinary people, whose characters are in a difficult situation, and their family, friends, and lives.
There is no unusually beautiful love story of a young couple as well as an extraordinary event like Cinderella's story.

Dear My Frieds Dieo Mai Peurenjeu
Dear My Frieds Dieo Mai Peurenjeu
There is my deceased mother who sacrificed her life for her children.
There is my father who fell in love again at last walking away from sorrow.
There is my sister, brother, and me who wanted to return the parent's favor.
There is my 91-year-old grandmother who just knows that the world is a big place.
And there is my old friend who went back home in her twenties.

I love Noh Hee-Kyung.
The writer never let me down.
Although her TV series haven't attracted a large number of viewers, she is the best for me. 

<My Recommendation>
Worlds Within (KBS2, 2008) starring Song Hye-Kyo & Hyun Bin 
It's Okay, That's Love (SBS, 2014) starring Jo In-Sung & Gong Hyo-Jin
