Thursday Drama Round-Up
1. I have watched ep 11 of You're Beautiful, which was cute as always, but ruined a bit for me by two things:
a. They stole the bit with the reporters/hiding the girl from Last Scandal. Let me correct that - not just from Last Scandal, but from one of the best, most powerful scenes in it. I find YAB version derivative and lacking and it kinda made me grumpy. Nobody messes with my Jae Bin/Sun Hee otp not even cute crossdressing boybanders.
b. The fact that I have been recently watching IRIS and it just doesn't compare. There is a saying that women are either Bronte people or Austen people and I suppose it's the same here - you are either an IRIS person or YAB person. Because I like YAB - it's cute, sweet, enjoyable, and fun. But watched in close proximity with IRIS I just get impatient with how dim everyone is. I mean, Minam - you are not retarded - so wtf - she does all these things a ten-year-old could think their way out of (gluing her fingers together? Really? REALLY?) But not just Minam - Jeremy and even Tae Kyung - come on, use those braincells! Anyway, YAB is fine but note to self - do not watch it and IRIS together, it will wreck the former for you as they are so tonally different.
I wonder if, at 31, I am getting too old for teenage dramas because I am at such a different place in my life? I hope not - I love spazzing about them :)
2. I have decided to try to wait watching more Tamra the Island until the extended DVD is out, especially since too much viikiiing leads to eye-strain. Let's see how long I can hold out.
3. I started On Air on dramafever and I really like it - it's solid and a good way to spend the time - it's won't make me rabid or sleepless but it's steadily good. Plus, Park Yong Ha and the world of dramamaking. How could I not want this?
And we get this:
4. I like JIN but the bodily fluids and the curing of said things grosses me out - I kina skip through those parts. I am so not made for medical shows.
5. I went insane and downloaded ep 9 of IRIS just so I could cap this bit from the preview.
Hyun Joon and his terrorist (!!!) group break into NSS and he sees:
I totally know he is thinking Is she alive IS SHE ALIVE?????
Meanwhile Seung Hee is inside, hunting him down. Only she doesn't know it's him, of course.
Meeting. Only in IRIS would the OTP meet this way after believing the other one is dead. OMGOMG.
(the tears in his eyes - eeeeee!)
