you, me and Korea

Sarah prefaced my Christmas present by telling me "Apparently only you, me and Korea want it." The mystery hung in the air until a week or so ago when we exchanged presents. As if by magic, she found a DVD version of a made-for-television, three-hour 'Phantom of the Opera' that we used to love and watched together all the time. The DVD is only produced in Korea, complete with Korean subtitles, but it's a great copy!

I thought it might be one of those things that I remembered adoring a long time ago, but when introduced to say, my husband or my sister, suddenly the campiness and sillyness are embarrassingly apparent. But not so. Trev and I have been watching a bit every night, and he is entranced.

Yay for Korea!

  1. I actually found a copy of that in my university's library the other day--how random is that? Their copy is clearly from Korea too, except the back cover belongs to a different POTO movie.

    And one day I'll have to watch this whole movie and not just Sarah's favorite part, hah.

  2. Oh, what a treat to find something you both enjoy. Ken and I have been watching bits of a BBC mystery series called THE LAST DETECTIVE. I think I'm enjoying it more than Ken is, but it's fun to share the experience.
