I speculate on Chuno

Sep 10, 2009 22:48

It's sick how excited I am for Chuno. I can't even concentrate on what I am watching, because I just want to watch Chuno instead. This is sort of a problem, seeing that it won't air for 4 months, at the earliest ( Read more... )

conspiracy in the court, doramas2, slave hunters (a.k.a. chuno), girlcrush

I totally fangirl/gushed about your speculations in soompi.

The characters are all so lush, complex--- demented! I like it!

I am scared of being a Sul-Hwa and Dae-Gil shipper, I ALWAYS root for these female social outcasts who love silently. I KNOW she's probably never gonna get into Dae Gil's sexay slave hunter pants, and I think that's what makes it so appealing to me. The comfort and solace she'll find with him, will be quite enough. The bittersweet longing and friendship... I can see it already.

I loooove Lee Da Hae but I already have empathy for Sul Hwa. LOL.

With that said though, I am so psyched that the female lead here is basically Ms. Duplicity... she will play two roles, two very different personalities and will have these two men fall in love with her. I cannot wait til the shit hit the fan.

Lee Da Hae in a drama... yay! Shhh... in my lalalalaworld East of Eden never happened that was a drone posing as her. LOL.

... and uh, Hello! Miss was her stunt double.

I have a sneaking fondness for H!M. It had so much sweetness and quirkiness and potential. A slightly better scriptwriter (they made LJH so nice Da Hae came across as unrealistically bitchy for suspecting him), a different costume designer (WTF? why does she dress like a five year old?) and a director who would reign in his cast (LDH can do quirky or charming or weepy in her sleep - it takes a certain kind of directing talent to ruin those by having too much of each) and it would have been a gem.

It's still not bad for a rainy night, to watch with a mug of tea and cookies.

I would normally root for Sul-Hwa but not here as:

a. LDH/JH is basically a drama OTP dream for me, after Robbers (Robbers might have been uneven but they were a killer OTP in that one. *melts just thinking of them*) She is so very fragile-looking and feminine but can come across as with a core of steel and Jang Hyuk is so very...macho. And good at being a cynical and wounded mess desperate for love. Must stop just whipping myself into ever more of a frenzy over Chuno.

she will play two roles, two very different personalities and will have these two men fall in love with her. I cannot wait til the shit hit the fan.

I can just imagine the confrontation(s).

in my lalalalaworld East of Eden never happened that was a drone posing as herLOLOLOL. I loved EoE but it was a wildly uneven drama and, unfortunately, her character was part of the "not so good" parts. I ended up being a satisfied SSH/Lee Yeon Hee shipper in EoE so on one hand I can't complain, but why they cast ( ... )

... they did have plans for her, she signed up for a totally different role and ended up as really the most useless character in K-drama history. You can totally edit East of Eden, take her parts out and still have a story.

That's what happens when the writer walks out in the middle of the project.

Lee Da Hae was severely mismanaged back then, it's a good thing she left her small company for Rain's company.

dangit. I really hope Sul Hwa won't sway me!

I am also annoyed that Oh Ji Ho's rugged makeover is working on me. I'm such a shallow person.

LOL me too.

I was all "nooooooo, she can't be with anyone but Jang Hyuk, she can't, she...waaaaait, is that Oh Ji Ho looking all gorgeous tortured? All right then!"

uhmbrr September 11 2009, 21:02:29 UTC

I'm worse.

gurl, I was going, "Oh Ji Ho? He has no screen charisma, he's got a body of a greek god but lacks any kind of appeal to show it off, he has zero depth, he always plays charming losers in the same style of acting, he is no emotional tornado like my Hyuk..."

*sees Chuno beard and sexay, angst-ridden Tae Ha*

"OhmakeoutwithLeeDaHae,plz."

dangermousie September 11 2009, 21:07:54 UTC

I can sympathize.

I was appalled at the thought of Oh Ji Ho being the one to potentially get the girl over Jang Hyuk. I am with you - I think OJH is gorgeous but wooden. But one set of pics and I turn 180! Yikes.
