If you are not watching The Legend, I will find you and make you. Or something.
Yes, I am obsessed with The Legend and am marathonning it. Am almost done with ep 4.
"If I fight well, will I be a good person?"
No, Dam Deok, you are never going to find this kind of certainty anywhere, much as you'd like it.
Awwwww.
Also, in ep 4 we finally have:
a. All the characters grown up and
b. The first meeting between Dam Deok and Sujini and ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my OTP senses are not only tingling, that is arguably the cutest hero/heroine meeting ever. I loled so hard.
Because he sees her gambling and pick-pocketing and is totally amused.
And then later, when she gets in trouble because she is falsely accused of horse-theft, he rescues her and as gratitude she:
a. tries to pick his wallet
b. tries to get him to pay for random info
c. tries to borrow money from him for gambling
Operative word being 'tries.'
LOL. He is so matter-of-fact about foiling her. SQUEE.
And then she offers to take him to a brothel. Because the girls there are so hot that even though she is a girl herself, even she gets aroused. LOL. Does she work on commission there or what?
And there is a pause and then he literally laughs out loud.
OMG.
I ship them like mad already.
And guess what, she does take him there. And is all 'don't let them know you are a virgin.' (Lady, he's a hottie Prince, I doubt that very much).
LOLOLOLOL. And the best part of it is he is even more amused/endeared by her than I am.
And then they get to the brothel and he is like 'did you say [Name] Brothel?' And she is all 'yeah, yeah, the girls there are the best in the city' and he matter-of-factly is 'I didn't think they were that good' and she starts to stare and then the painted ladies basically rush past her to Dam Deok and are all we missed you!' LOL.
And he gets her free booze.
And it gets even better and more awesome from there.
Oh, I ship them like MAD.
Ho Gae showing spear thrusts to his cousin, Dam Deok. Awww, boys. I wish you didn't grow up as mortal enemies.
Young Ho Gae rescues young Kiha, as is arranged by Kiha's creepy people. I'd like for them to be a secondary (potentially evil) OTP, but I don't think this will happen:
Even if they are cute together and he totally digs her:
Studious chibi!Dam Deok is adorable:
And occasionally emo:
Creepozoid Yon family, which wants to take over. Poor awesome Ho Gae, why were you born into such a psycho family, why?
I love the pretty chime things:
Creepy Lady Yon, Ho Gae's mom is all 'you suck, and your Dad the King sucks, and your blood is polluted, and I clearly haven't read Macbeth in school.'
I love these shots in the herbal garden.
This has to be a rare drama where childhood friendship between two moppets of opposite sex does not turn into true!love!forever! when they grow up. Yay! Kiha and Dam Deok:
This is just pretty:
Poor Dam Deok has a lot of issues and rage. Where do I start?
When Ho Gae and Dam Deok are still friends:
This is for the prettiness. The insane quatient is supplied by Lady Yon:
Chib!Dam Deok outmaneuvers psycho Lady Yon. That was a beyond AMAZING scene:
She kills herself but not before telling Ho Gae things like 'off your cousin, because he'll grow up to be a bigger star than you.' Or maybe it was 'it's all his fault.' Take your pick:
And from then on Ho Gae hates Dam Deok:
But since Dam Deok grows up to be Bye Yong Joon, I think he is still ahead of the game :)
Chibi!Dam Deok learns of his arguably tainted bloodline:
Chibi!Sujini is the most adorable thing imaginable:
And a total hustler, scamming the poor mercenary dude:
We learn that Dam Deok is really good at sneaking from the Palace, and pretending to be a commoner, and being a good guy. Keep them all in mind for later :)
Pretty:
The prettiness that are grown-up Dam Deok and Kiha:
The hotness of the grown-up Ho Gae:
The adorableness of grown-up Sujini:
Sujini is gambling for all it's worth at a gambling den. She is just so irresistable and alive and fun, how could you not love her?
Dam Deok is just as amused and taken by her as I am:
These are here because I think Bae Yong Joon is pretty, even when he is not amnesiac and in love with a potential family member :) Plus, I love the faces he makes when he watches Sujini. And I am impressed that it's his own hair. I can't even grow out my hair that long:
He sees her later get in trouble for horse theft (which she didn't do):
And despite looking nonchalant, he is pretty damn effective:
Sujini is hiding and hears a whistle:
LOL, I wonder who's inside the hay:
Yup, he hid Sujini:
Sujini is all 'thanks, how can I repay you?'
He responds 'by taking your hand off:'
She is attempting to lift his wallet, but seeing how unsubtle she is being, I assume she is just using it as an excuse and is secretly a BYJ fangirl trying to feel him up:
And he is all 'and also by giving me my wallet back, thanks'
She is 'but there is so much money it is, how muuuuuuch?'
Then she tries to extort cash for random info:
Then she asks for money to go gambling:
Then she offers to take him to a nice brothel. He is trying hard not to crack up:
She is like 'even I think girls there are hot, and I am a girl'
OK, that's it, he lost the battle:
She is all 'don't let them know you are a virgin.'
'And give me your money. For safekeeping, I swear.'
Nope:
He matter-of-factly states he doesn't think girls at the joint she is taking him at are the hottest in town:
LOL, all the girls in the joint are 'where have you been, we missed you!'
He is playing a flute type instrument:
While Sujini is stuffing herself:
This is just pretty:
I love his room:
And his proper robes:
Btw, this is my first Bae Yong Joon experience (except for watching 'Untold Scandal' (Korean take on Dangerous Liasons) years ago, I don't remember much of that) and I totally adore him. He is awfully charismatic, and fun. Plus, Legolas hair.
