Am on episode 22 of Brilliant Legacy
*am not sure what I love more - the scene with the blanket or when Hwan extends his hand to catch drips in a cave so Eun Sung won't get wet - what I really love about Hwan is that he is incredibly straightforward - he doesn't play games and he has no 'shame' - he is in love with Eun Sung and he doesn't care if Other Girl and Other Guy know it.
* Speaking of other guys, poor Jun Se oppa - I find him dead boring, but he is a nice guy. Awwww. ETA: I take it back. Fuck off and die, jerk! You are trying to be manipulative and guilt Eun Sung into not dating Hwan? Fine. But anyone who has the gall to tell Eun Sung she shouldn't date Hwan because of Seung Mi's love for Hwan while knowing the way Seung Mi treated Eun Sung and wrecked her life is not only insane but should die in a ditch. Preferably after contracting leprosy. How Jun Se can even dare say out loud that Eun Sung owes Seung Mi anything? Hell, if I were Eun Sung, I'd date Hwan even if I didn't like him just to pay Seung Mi back some small percentage of misery she and her Monster Mom inflicted on me. The only thing Eun Sung owes Seung Mi is a bunch of hard slaps and Jun Se trying to pretend otherwise for his own selfish reasons is SICK. I don't care if he told Eun Sung she shouldn't date Hwan because she owes Jun Se himself too much and it would hurt him or even because of family issues (her missing brother, the fact that Hwan's family hates her etc) but he is trying to come across as unselfish and in the process the justification he is trying to use is inexcusable. *puke*
* Ahhhh, Seung Mi. UGH BITCH. (The glee of viikii commenters in anything bad that happens to her is hilariously delicious). Actually, the drop scene is better than the blanket scene for me because Seung Mi is there to see it. HEEEE. In your face! I want Hwan and Eun Sung to make out and send you the video which you would be forced to watch. In jail. The funny thing is, I don't hate any of her OTP-interloper stuff, I hate the way she wrecked Eun Sung's life - keeping her father away from her, not returning her money, wrecking her new-found place in a new family, etc. I would be happy with anything that hurt her - and her weak point is Hwan. I would love her face to be ground into the OTP not because she should be punished for loving Hwan or because she interferes with Hwan/Eun Sung (she doesn't, really) but because she needs to be punished in some way for the damage she has inflicted on Eun Sung through selfishness and maliciousness.
* THE KISS. It was the most gorgeous first kiss I have seen in a kdrama since...Spring Waltz, also starring Han Hyo Joo (she is awesome!) I am not sure what I loved more - the dreamlike atmosphere, what Hwan told her right before, or the fact that it was on a rickety, unstable bridge which is totally symbolic for how the ground has shifted under their feet utterly, emotionally.
* Lee Seung Gi is much too young and doesn't look at all like my type normally, either (there are no chiseled features in evidence) but he acts Hwan so well and the character of Hwan is so amazing that somehow I realized I find him ridiculously sexy as the eps progress - in each ep he is better-looking than the previous one and now I find him completely gorgeously irresistable even if objectively I realize he isn't.
I have also started Eyes of Dawn - I think I will have to devote of block of time to it as it does not look like anything you can watch casually. Also, sort of need to prepare myself - the heroine gets brutally raped in the first 10 minutes! I knew it was about comfort women but I guess I thought they would ease into the brutal parts of the storyline - they did not.
