My next angsty kdrama?

PianoPiano involves a really messed-up extended family. Older Gentleman I am not interested in (Gangster) is a gangster who discovers he has a son when the kid is 10 years old (grown-up kid will be played by Go Soo). He also falls in love with Older Lady I Don't Care For Either (Old Gal). Old Gal used to be part of a happy, ( Read more... )

Sometime later, they live in an apartment together. He goes to meet his family (tearful reunion with sisters. Thinks about forgiving stepdad, leaves in a hissy fit when stepbro shows.) Semi-girlfriend asks what she and her son are to him. He's jerky and defensive. She stays put like a weed.

More mobster angst, more family angst.

The sis and stepbro show at the apartment, and end up thinking the kid is actually his son, despite protest. They tell stepdad who buys the kid toys and goes to see him as 'grandpa' (Aw.)

He gets beaten again, and when he returns to the apartment, again the girl asks who she is to him, why she and her son stay, etc. I get the feeling that since no one's ever told her they love her, she's looking for a little something, anything from him. He clearly loves her son (in his actions), but he never says anything to her. Angry and angsting, he pins her to the ground. She tries to say no, but he...forces her, I think. I'm 96% he rapes her. Then, she has trouble standing and...well, that's no good ( ... )

Thank you!

Btw, I think I'll check out Shoot for the Stars instead, first :) He definitely gets the girl there.

Welcome. :)

I thought about SftS, but I heard it was cheesy and draggy. Let me know if its worth a look.

BTW: did you ever get around to watching Chinese Paladin?

I am about 6 eps into CP. It's cheesy and very fun.

Because I get most of my drama recs from you (even if you don't know it), I watched it over my spring break. Be prepared for some angst and 'Wait, what?' moments. It is a drama from China/Hong Kong after all. And, then there's a very confusing (but polite) love triangle. :/

Heeee, polite but confusing? Yay. I am so continuing with this next.
