Loveholic: Korea, you spoil me. Don't stop!
Oh LOVEHOLIC.
Why why WHY are you so awesome?
1. Uniforms. You cannot go wrong with uniforms. And I actually like these ones, especially the grey suits on the boys.
2. Add another hero to the list of the ones who rides a motorcycle. YAY. And who is all cool and quiet, and is totally a problem guy, what with being in a school gang (though significantly, when the rest of them are beating up some cute, adorable, glasses-wearing guy for money, he is off by himself spacing out on the roof). Mmmm, I love my alphas.
3. MMMMM. Chemistry. And intense eye-frelling. Whoa. Every time the hero and the heroine are on screen together, the thing just heats up. I just love that bit where he walks into class late (first time they know who each other is) and there is this total silent, intense moment. Or the way he looks at her.
4. This whole thing has a very manga vibe, somehow. Plus something extra. I love it. Seriously, it’s like Forbidden Love crossed with Sang-Doo crossed with Gokusen. YAY. Best idea ever.
5. Fighting. Granted, not wuxia, but after Bollywood, I am quite lenient on this front and it’s fun to see people kick things. Especially girls who are good at kicking things and taking names. When there are mysterious mentions of said girls needing 'to take their medicine' which in kdrama angst-speak feels me with glee because I want some mysterious disease in this story.
6. Forbidden Lurve. Who could resist?
7. If you are a woman, nothing says ‘I love you’ like accidentally killing the guy who is tormenting your (male) OTP.
9. Except taking the blame on yourself because she’s erased it from her memory in shock and going to jail. (Pssst, you sure you want to do that, boy? You are awfully pretty, you know).
9. Thing making me glee more than the above? Hero getting out of jail five years later to discover his OTP is engaged to someone else.
10. And only thing even better? Running and crying with reunions and happy endings and more hurt-comfort than one could ever want.
