Pomegranates. And Full House, stop making me hyperventilate
The recent proliferation of ads for pomegranate drinks irrationally annoys me. I loved pomegranates ever since I was a little kid, when they weren't cool. Nobody ate them until someone slapped an 'antioxidant' label on them and all of a sudden they are in fashion. I guess I am proprietary about my fruit.
In other off-kilter news, I am still obsessed with Full House. The actress that plays the female lead is so pretty and loveable and adorable, she almost makes me want to switch sexual orientation. In fact, I am rather obsessed with the show, and considering it's in the running against Mars as a favorite dorama, it's ironic that after watching the first ep I was all 'Why is there all this fuss about it? It's not bad but nothing great.' Famous last words.
But yes, Full House is a dorama that keeps on giving. Me heart-attacks, that is.
Because OMG. The final scene of that ep! Young-Jae confesses his feelings to Ji-Eun. And it's such a wonderful confession, and the cool thing is, the words 'I love you' are nowhere to be heard and I don't think YJ even realizes himself that he is basically showing his heart, but it's still one of the most romantic speeches EVAH:
Anyway, I bought her [Hye-Won] lots of ice-cream and made her a promise too. 'Kang Hye-Won, I'll protect you for life. Stop crying.' But...You keep making me forget that promise. Han Ji-Eun, you don't know, do you? You're a really strange girl. [She interjects whether he is he going to call her an alien or a rice-cooker again]. Silly. I was only teasing you. It's fun to see you get mad. To you...I want to tease you again and again. When I am with you...you make me feel good. When Min-Heuk said he'd take you away from me, it didn't feel good. No, actually, I was offended. And I was angry. You know what childish behavior I resorted to so he couldn't steal you from me? When I'm with you...it's fun...it makes me feel good. [She goes 'really?'] Yes. Only if you don't do those silly jokes. See? I even talk more when I am around you. When I'm with you, I feel like I'm a different person. I even forget Hye-Won. Je-Eun, the truth is...I really wanted you. But...I wanted to protect you. So you wouldn't get hurt.
And after all that, what does the idiot boy say? I think...I have to go to Hye-Won now. GRRRRRR. He says he is going to go to Hye-Won and WHY???? Partially because of the promise he made her (in which case, break it!) and partially because he probably decided to listen to Min-Heuk who told him the only way to protect Ji-Eun is to let her go (and hey, Min-Heuk is not exactly an uninterested party). In any event, it's got me all GRRRRR. Get your head screwed on straight quick, boy!
I do have to say, the bit where he was telling JE that he wanted to run away from home when he was nine because his sister died and he hated his father, but didn't because of HW and JE asks him whether it's because she told him to assume him responsibilities blah blah and he says no, it was because he was saving his allowance to run away, but he spent it buying her ice-cream is the most adorable thing ever.
