Korean Drama/Music
Stupid annoying Korean Drama that I have to rant about : The Legend. Man, I can't even begin to explain the sheer stupidity of the entire plot and the inconsistencies and of all the characters (who are all irritatingly annoying!). Don't get me wrong, I do not hate all Korean Dramas. Just the ones that are ill thought out. Okay. Allow me to try and explain it all.
Firstly, the drama is set in a fantasy/ancient Korean/lets-all-kill-everyone-with-our-pointy-swords sort of world. To be even more confusing, the first episode takes place in a flashback (you have to figure this one out on your own) where the earth is made up of fire people who can control fire (and are obviously the bad guys since you can, unimaginatively, tell by the red and black and fire in the background, plus they just all have to have really menacing expressions) and a bear tribe who are all peaceful (you can tell, 'cos there are babies and nursing mothers *rolls eyes*). One day this great silver haired, uber-ugly, only-capable-of-one-expression 'god' comes down from heaven to supposedly bring peace to the world. So he predictably sides with the bear people who must then war with the fire people. Basically, this lazy bastard (whom a lot of people find hot -eww!) lounges around seeing his people die until he decides to finally get off his worthless ass and stop the fighting (some god). The leader of the fire tribe falls in love with this god and in return he steals away her fire power and gives it to some girl that he loves. Talk about arrogant men! He just claims this girl without even asking her opinion but (surprise, surprise), she fawns over him like a puppy dog and acts all innocent and feminine. The writers/directors obviously want the audience to take the side of the god and his woman but, all the while, I'm just sitting there going "DIE,DIE,DIE!" and wanting the fire lady to kill 'em all for taking her fire power. Then, the bear woman has a baby (surprise, surprise - that 'god' is nowhere to be seen. probably lazying off somewhere) and the fire lady kidnaps the baby (yay!) and tries to exchange the baby for her powers (which were hers to begin with anyway). The bear woman, as selfish as she is, is like "no, hot-god-guy gave this to me and I luuuuuurve him" so the fire woman drops the baby off the cliff. At this point, ugly-lazy-god-guy finally shows his face and saves the baby. Bear woman goes mad and conjures up a fire phoenix, fire woman jumps off a cliff and god-guy is like "fuck it, responsibility bites" and abandons ship. Then the rest of the series is set 1000 years later where the annoying god guy (still with the one expression of a retard-o smile - i think he was going for cute and cheeky but it doesn't really work out) and bear woman are reincarnated and (very cliched) fall in love.

Anyway, 'I'm breathing...are you breathing too?'. I'm getting my AKGs tomorrow or the day after - SO excited! Ipod earphones are shitty as and mine are breaking.
