Synopsis:
Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) is an otherworldly beauty, literally. After crash landing on Earth 400 years ago, Min Joon has diligently observed humans for centuries, ultimately coming to cynical conclusions. On top of being a super babe, Min Joon's got enhanced vision, hearing and agility — all the more reason to believe he's superior to everyone on Earth. That is, until he pursues the beautiful actress Cheon Song Yi (Gianna Jun) for a romance out of this world.

My thoughts:

Took me awhile to finally get into this dunno why I didn't watched this soon enough or while it's still airing I guess I tried to stay away from the hype for what I heard it's really good! and it actually is! very good! well made and written pretty convincing actually although I feel like the ending is quite force like you know just so to get a happy ending but don't get me wrong I like a happy ending but theory wise you know? I like how there's an extra episode for the fans since it's such a hit! I love Jeon Ji Hyun especially in the early days of her career she also got married recently and I'm starting to get fond of Kim Soo Hyun his character always seems serious and uptight whenever I watch him.Overall 4.9 out of 5 stars that ending tho... still I highly recommend this show! love love love!

My Review: 4.5 stars

Nine short stories full of life lessons.The Intro was actually after the first story that's quite a nice change.The Author & Illustrators biography morphed and got that creepy disfigured/distorted images also other odd details.

I'd like to share some of my favorite and memorable lines,moments and thoughts about this book:

~Sometimes the fall you die or wake up [First story: Fear of Falling (ok I paraphrased that because the moral of the story is basically about falling,failure in life that's how you learn and have to move on)].
~His Madness keeps him sane (by Delirium).
~U.S has a first and last Emperor!
~Orpheus story (Morpheus/Dream's son) reminds me of Jack the halloween kind of story.
~Parliament of Rooks about Adam's wife(s) :0
~Ah the Ramadan, the beautiful Baghdad!
~In which I also thought about other soft places that ever existed.
~Simplicity and disguises works!

This truly made me realize how complex of a book this is,the characters,their names,personality and all that stuff oh wow! The series made me think about the sandman in a whole new level!
