Myung Wol ep 3 - beginning

Jul 22, 2011 07:40

If you think about it objectively, the concept of Myung Wol the Spy is super-creepy - a woman agent from a totalitarian country is given a mission to basically prostitute herself for the good of the Motherland, while observed by her colleagues to make sure she is doing it right and their goal is to lure an unsuspecting person into renouncing his ( Read more... )

Ah I LOVE this drama. It's so hilariously funny. Once you've locked away your brain that is :o) Because, as you say, the concept is super creepy and not even remotely funny ( ... )

I think you don't have to worry about her falling first - she may be falling fast but he is already a goner, even if he doesn't realize that. They have among the best chemistry I've seen, which helps me enjoy it tremendously ( ... )

Wow, 6%! I had no clue the ratings were so low. And the actors are kind of high profile as well. This must be hard for them. When a drama is doing badly in ratings, I always feel uncomfortable watching it as it airs. I can't help wondering how the actors feel about their drama tanking. If it's a drama that's already over, I don't have the same reaction. If I like it I'll just tell myself it's a pity the ratings weren't better. The last expericence I had with this was when watching Playful Kiss last year. The ratings were abysmal as well. I couldn'th elp wondering how the two leads were coping with it ( ... )

Well, they pitted themselves against two sageuks and rare is a sageuk that doesn't do well ( ... )

Oooh, angst....I'm as addicted to it as you are I think :o) I'll watch eps 5-6 of Someday tonight then.

Although I must say your QSS teasers make me want to watch it NOW. A happier Bali is right up my alley. + makeouts with Eric.....I've launched the download for the first four episodes. I'm going to look after my two horses for a while and hopefully the download will be done by the time I come back so that I can start on the next batch.

Yesss!!!

One word of warning: some people had problems with Eric's character because he is sort of a bastard but I loved it - he's not a nice person but it's so fun to see the dysfunction and the darkness and the shipping is intense. There is also one thing he says near the end which, to me, explained so much. So yeah, he's not really likeable but he's obsessed in love and so so so very interesting.

I don't need a character to be likeable to appreciate him/her so I don't think I'll have a problem if the pay-off is as good as it looks like it's going to be. :o)

I think I might even start watching it tonight and afterwards decide whether to marathon it straight away or to finish Someday first.

I've set aside 2 hours for my Korean lessons this evening and by the time I finish, eps 1-6 should be downloaded and ready to watch.

The payoff is very very good :)

But Someday has suicide attempts! And shippy drawing! And other really good things!

What is the thing he says toward the end that you were referring to? Please share! Thanks!

He tells her "You were my first [love]" and for me this was huge - it explained a lot because even though he had a ton of sexual experience, emotionally, he was as clueless as she was so of course he had no idea how to behave.
