Still obsessed with Worlds Within
I keep being obsessed with Worlds Within. Obsessed to a ridiculous degree. It is driving me crazy there is no more of these characters to be seen. I keep thinking about what is going to happen to all these characters in the future. I know kdramas almost never have sequels and, in any event, WW did abysmally in the ratings so it would never happen but I love these characters so much I do not want to let them go.
I want to see Ji Oh and Joon Young continue loving each other and working - I want to see how they adjust to living together with the million little differences every couple has (he is neat, she is not so neat, sometimes she feels too little and sometimes he feels too much). I'd love to see them cope with parenthood (they are totally going to have at least one kid - they were already bartering and hashing out the details). She is going to panic then adjust and he will glee throughout but also totally freak. I want to see them cope, in a matter-of-fact way, with the limitations imposed by his serious and chronic (but thankfully not life-threatening) illness. I want to see Joon Young reconcile with her father. I want to see their wedding and how on earth Ji Oh's rustic parents and Joon Young's high society mother are going to interact (and if Joon Young's father comes). Everyone can get drunk together at the party!
I want to see all the behind-the-scenes nuttiness experienced by Kyu-Ho's family of sick political vampires due to the wedding and Daddy's eternal campaigns. The media frenzy and Kyu-Ho's little brother finally going off to Prague and Kyu-Ho's father being publically supportive and in private there being no interaction between them at all. And then Kyu-Ho and Hae-Jin working on their new drama and the staff being alternately worried he will be too biased/give too much slack to Hae-Jin and hopeful that his new happiness will make him less caustic of tongue and laid-back, and being surprisingly unsurprised when neither happens. Oh, and they can try to sneak out on dates and it not working so well because she is pestered by fangirls.
I want to see Kyu-Ho and Ji Oh continue their really bizarre friendship and Soo Kyung getting more and more competent and Joon Young and Writer Lee getting drunk together on a girls' night out (and Writer Lee continuing her mad genius self). The older character acresses will continue their eternal bickering friendship and picking/helping Soo Kyung. The awesome female assistant PD goes into shock when one of her crushes likes her back and has no idea what to do and whether to actually pursue this or not.
I would love to watch Yun Yung and Min Chul continue their semi-dependent, semi-independent relationship and their attempts to reconcile his daughter to it. Maybe Yun Yung's daughter can come back from the States and she and Min Chul's daughter can form an uneasy alliance. Yun Yung would also slowly try to rebuild her company.
I just - I never want to let these characters go. I could be happy just watching an episode which consisted of just following Joon Young and Ji Oh around for a weekend. All these people feel real and so I feel abruptly deprived of company of people that I seem to know and have grown to love.
I know this is insane, but since I finished WW, instead of a new drama, I am starting a rewatch.
I have NEVER fallen in love with a drama in such a way. Never even close.
And not really related, but since I don't like posts without pictures, have this gorgeous shot of Song Hye Kyo.
Wow.
