Reading and Watching

[dangermousie]

In a little vacuum after Legend (and before it took over, as well), in-between watching the airbrushed angst of Beautiful Days (seriously, Hero. Just ditch the family and move to Canada, Australia, or Brazil. You’ll be much happier), I have also tried watching/reading various things that I haven’t posted about before, with various degrees of

I read summaries of 11 and 12 and of course, spoiled myself for the ending, but I never made it through those final 6-7 episodes. lesbiassparrow finished it - I think - and hated the hero and basically everybody but the poor, poor heroine. I agree that the heroine is the most sympathetic character but I kind of liked the fact the hero was mind-blowingly hot Eric Mun who can kiss me in elevators any time totally aware of his assholeness and tells the heroine right off the bat that he's not a nice guy. Not sure if it's enough to excuse the things he ends up doing, but he definitely goes through shit himself. It's a very hurty drama all around.

I think lesbiassparrow's posts made me unsure whether I could go through the emotional pain of the last eps, but I'm still semi-determined to finish it, because Eun-soo/Tae-joo as an OTP took my breath way (such a wonderful confusing mix of cute/hurty) and Eric Mun is hot and the drama also had a lovely dark humor edge to it.

I think what I said in my last post about QSS still applies:

And whilst I don't absolutely always love the difficult situations, the frustrating drama, I can't bring myself to hate it, either. It's like the anti-KANK for me - some people go "ARGH!" at KANK (I'm one of them) whilst others go, "But the layers! But the tragically flawed human beings!". Similarly some hate QSS with a passion while I'm completely captured by the drama.

edit: Er, that's to say, I think you'd love it and I think I will finish it (now that CS revived my interest in kdrama!) once I'm at least 70% with my kdrama backlog. That is, Fantasy Couple, HGD eps on my HD and then I'll dl the rest of QSS.
