Devil Beside You: can I have some whine with that cheese?

Sep 02, 2006 04:03

I finished Devil Beside You last night but forgot to post about it.

It definitely is the cheesiest dorama I've seen. I don't know if I'd rec it as I didn't care for the lead couple (but the leads are cute and have good chemistry) and it had some moments I really liked and some that didn't work for me at all. Too OTT for me, generally.

( Thoughts with rant on the ending )

doramas, devil beside you

I was very disappointed by the ending too. Up until end of 15, I wasn't excited by Meng/XY but I liked them well enough as a couple. But the last ep just ruined the ship for me.

I am actualy perversely eager to see Love Contract now, because Mike He gets to angst in it a lot, and I think that's some karmic payback for Meng (yes, in my weird head it makes sense). But after I watch ep 5 of Silence (I've been putting it off because it's sort of like really nice chocolate, aka I don't get it often so I sort of anticipate each new subbed ep), I am going to continue with Tokyo Juliet (9 and 10 are now subbed). The complete series that I am going to marathon though is It Started with a Kiss. And then either Chun-Hyang or Sang-Doo, let's go to school (though after ALtK I think I need a longer angst break).

I am nevah evah watching 'Sorry I love you' because even though I believe it's very good, it's too angsty even for me.

I actually like Ariel Lin (she is in Tokyo Juliet). I also have no hesitation in using the ff button (my player reads subs even then) so... :)

In TJ, she is pretty strong minded, but not super bright (but then no one in that show is as it's a cracktastic, delicious melodrama). She's also in Love Contract but no idea what her character is there.

she can be ridiculously stupid, especially in comparison to the male lead, which I find very difficult to swallow.

But isn't it the same situation in Goong? I just do the whole 'they compliment each other and he has such and such strengths and weaknesses and she has such an such different ones.' I don't know why, but it doesn't bother me...
