So freaking obsessed...
Because I am sort of crazy, I took some caps from the new Chuno trailer:
I still can't believe they are going to go "there" - having a heroine who is gangraped. No way. In a drama? No way. (Historically accurate? Yes. Alluded to in a drama? I am totally stunned. I suppose the soldiers can always just drag her off for sale, or similar. Because, no way are they having it in kdrama - they didn't even let the BOF protagonists properly lock lips!). I know this is supposed to be grim and brutal and about slavery and murder but still...The only one I've seen that had that issue in it was Eyes of Dawn (about comfort women - it was excellent but I had to stop, it was making me upset - I must continue at some point, though). Lee Da Hae is going to break my heart in this one, isn't she? After My Girl et al, people sort of place her in the comedy actress category, but she tore my heart out in Green Rose, before she became 'quirky girl.'
In other news, as I posted in joonni's lj, I am in love with Will It Snow for Christmas - I love the pace - just right. I loved the last scene between child protagonists (the one with milk and egg - it so rang true to me - it's one of those pieces of childhood cruelty that you regret afterwards). I loved that they do not spend their lives incapable of other relationships (I think the girl Go Soo took to his Mom was his third gf?). I love that he became very successful and driven but still has that anger in him. I love how fearless she is. I love their chemistry and oh boy, do I love Go Soo - how much I missed him on my screen. The way he looks at her!
