My dear Ariel,
I am glad I made you feel a bit better. I do not think I can catch up with any Pakistani shows on Tata Sky, more is the pity. But where do you watch the Korean ones? I am not fond of watching anything on a 15.4" laptop, but I will try,
Last night, the Jalal-Jodha scenes were like watching sunlight dancing on rippling water, or the iridiscent colours on a butterfly's wings.
It is very hard to capture that in mere words. I plan to try, however, and if I am satisfied with the result, I will put it out tonight or tomorrow morning. Only about those scenes; it would be pointless to clutter it up with the rest - the DEK scene or the congregation in Jodha's rooms or the Mahaam-Ruqaiya encounter. Let us see.

Aunty, I am sorry to reply so late. Its just been a crazy few days.
If at all I may recommend, please start with Coffee prince. I think you will like it. But it takes about 4-5 episodes to kind of really get into their shows and understand the dynamics. So give it some time :) Coffee prince is really nice I thought, with some good comedy thrown in too. It a about a girl who pretends to be a boy because she looks like a boy and a guy who falls in love with her and his confusion because he thinks he is now gay for falling in love with a man and then decides he doesnt care if he was wrong, he loves the boy anyway, so may as well accept that he is homosexual. they all work in a coffee shop. Its pretty nice.
Other shows: Heirs, Goong - princess hours (this one the leads are very young -19, but I really like it.)
my princess (its a little like my fair lady but the leads are fully grown up) ..Koreans are a little obsessed with Royalty :)
I started with my princess you can try that too if you want.
Korean dramas (or k-dramas) are extremely extremely popular. There is a forum for them here on too on India forums where there are many many many suggestions on what to watch. And there are gazillion places to watch them like :

All of these shows I suspect you may find kiddish. If you want something else suggested with less fluff please let me know!
Aunty, I recently watched another Pak show called Daam. Aunty, if you can please please please watch it! Its just fantastic!! I watched 7 episodes in one shot and now I'm going back to finish it. Its only 18 episodes long and I couldnt resist, I peaked at the ending. Its unconventional and really really nice!! Its all on youtube!
Anyway time to shut up for me now!
