Just finished Touch. It was not the best older man/younger woman drama I’ve ever watched. The ML’s character was a 37 yr old and was fairly believable (and not hard on the eyes). The FL character was 25 and her depiction of a confused young adult made it difficult for me to watch. I felt she was a better match for the 25 year old actor who fawned over her than the 37 yr old makeup/cosmetics artist. At best, the romance in this drama was extremely lukewarm. I wouldn’t watch this again.

Î thought I dropped it, but when I looked at my list it states completed, but I have zero recollection, only about the start …
No thoughts of re-watching it either.

Here is what I wrote after watching Touch:
8 - Review Rating.

05 Jan 2021 - Review date.

They planted the desire to watch, till the end, firmly in place from the start. It took some accepting of who won the (main character’s) girl’s heart. I got very annoyed at her character, because of who she liked. My only solace, was knowing their talent from:
:sparkles: Glamorous Temptation :sparkles: (showing here on Viki). And, that drama was off the chain! So, overall (Touch)gets eight stars!

:sparkles: Glamorous Temptation, :sparkles: It’s since lost it’s Viki license, but this is proof it had a license.

LINDA EVANS & HER DYNASTY CATFIGHTS

WATCH HERE: https://www.mentalfloss.com/…/13-rich-facts-about…

Happy 80th Birthday to American actress LINDA EVANS (born Nov 18, 1942) best known for her TV roles including Audra Barkley in the Western series The Big Valley (1965–1969). and Krystle Carrington in the 1980s soap opera Dynasty (1981 to 1989).

ALTERNATIVE VIDEO LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MndtFru-5SE

Linda became one of the most celebrated female television stars of the 1980s. For her role as Krystle, wife of an oil multimillionaire played by John Forsythe and good girl counterpart to Joan Collins’ evil Alexis, Linda was nominated five times for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a TV Drama series (every year from 1982 to 1986).

She won in 1982, sharing the honor with Barbara Bel Geddes of rival primetime television soap opera Dallas (1978).

Linda won five People’s Choice Awards as Favorite Actress in a Drama Series in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1986, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead actress in a Drama Series in 1983. For her contribution to the television industry, Linda has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6834 Hollywood Blvd.

Her first guest-starring role on a major television series, Bachelor Father (1957), starring John Forsythe, whose career would become eternally tied to Linda when they portrayed the powerful Carringtons on Dynasty. She went on to guest-star on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952), Wagon Train (1957), My Favorite Martian (1963) and other staples of the 1960s before landing the role of Audra, daughter of Big Valley matriarch Victoria Barkley, played by Barbara Stanwyck.

Between her Audra years and her portrayal of Krystle, Linda was rarely off the airwaves, guest starring on shows that ranged from McCloud (1970) to The Rockford Files (1974), from the miniseries North and South, Book II (1986) to the primetime drama Hunter (1976), co-starring Linda as secret agent Marty Shaw.

After Dynasty, Linda decided there was something more to life than Hollywood and moved to the Pacific Northwest, where she began an extraordinary journey of self-discovery.

But she returned to performing frequently, starring in the stage play, Legends, and winning the Hell’s Kitchen competition while working under Michelin-starred chef Marco Pierre White.

Linda’s often lavish and luxurious life has rivaled Krystle Carrington’s. She has dined with queens and presidents, been romanced by the rich and famous, and today, what Linda treasures most is the wisdom she has gained along the way.

I watched “The Big Valley” from 7th grade through my Junior year in high school. Reruns are still on TV and I catch an episode every now and then when my husband watches. Thanks so much for sharing. :two_hearts:

Oh my! So glad Viki made this available. I remember watching it in 2008 (can’t believe it’s been 14 years). Such a unique story with a great cast too. I hope you enjoy watching.
Kim Myung-min is a fabulous actor. Have you seen “Law School” (2021)? It’s available on Viki.
Also, hope Viki can bring us Jang Keun-suk’s upcoming drama.
