Korean drama glee...
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got this from soompi. The Hong Sisters, the screenwriters for My Girl and Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang, two of my all time favorite dramas (I haven't seen their Fatnasy Couple yet so can't comment), are doing another drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be aired in November 2007. To be called Hong Gil Dong
With Joo Ji Hoon (Shin in Goong aka someone who makes dangermousie swoon like she is five).
OMG.
OMG.
Few dramas are as good at making you both giggle and cry, and be off-kilter witty and swoonily romantic as DGCH and MG. To have (hopefully) another one this good, and with JJH? I am so GLEEFUL.
Apparently, there is a great deal of speculation in the soompi thread about the topic for the drama. HGD is apparently Korean version of Robin Hood, during Joseon Days. So people are wondering whether it will be a period drama or something like DGCH which is a modern riff on the classic story. Please be the latter, please!
ETA: Ooooh, it's confirmed it's a period one. And supposed to be a light-hearted take on the original tragic story. Not surprising as it's Hong Sisters after all. Though this being kdrama, their 'light-hearted take' is still going to have more angst than a hungry vegetarian in a steakhouse.
Also, someone. Please talk me out of watching Sorry I love you (also known as MISA). I mean, it's supposed to be ridiculously angsty even by kdrama standards. The protagonist was abandoned by his mother, and he has been shot, but not fatally, but the bullets are lodged in his brain and he has months only to live. And his gf (for whom he took those bullets) ditches him. And he falls in love with another girl but can't have her because he is dying. And he is too emo to even avenge self on his mom. And he is played by the ridiculously hot So Ji Sub. Someone, stop me. Please.
Finally, Bae Yong Joon's 24-ep period/fantasy drama is going to air in September. YESSS.
