Shimy shimy yo!
IRIS: why the fangirls (aka us) approve
EP.1
Starts in Hungary, hook à la Jason Bourne, with snippers and blood and a badiguard woman. Already, I start telling it yes.
Then the lead runs, and kills half a squadron alone, in a abandonned warehouse. I definitely approve. (THERE IS A HELICOPTER, FGS!)
Then the flashback (=main line of the drama) starts.
The lead in his young days (actually, a few months ago), at the university, studying, wait for it, foreign policy.
And a debate about Kennedy's death.
So, History of the Modern Age. That goes on through the next episode (including Koweit, Iraq, Russia, UN, etc.). I approve, #.
The lead is actually a secret agent.
Aka you get to see him half naked in the mud. With his best friend.
And his muscles.
And his best friend's muscles.
Then the lead and the leadess and the best friend get into a predictable love triangle and go on dates together.
Whatevs, it's a Korean drama.
BUT.
Episode 2.
Things start getting all jumbly (10 mins before the end of the episode, again, KOREAN).
And T.O.P (aka Vic, but you're not supposed to know that yet) says: "You got it. I'm on my way."
AND THEN I'M PREGNANT.
AND THEN THERE ARE GUNS AND BLOOD. YIHOO, says my inner 15 years old guy. I LIKE IT.
Also, it reminded me of Luc Besson's 'Léon', which would be awesome (if there was a link).
Plotbunnywise:
- the triangle. DUH.
- amnesia. (I have nothing to say, erm.)
- the square-jawed lead (ewwww)
- erm.
- snow and kisses and betrayal and blah.
Let's sum up:
Blood, mud, rain, alcohol, chewing-gums, T.O.P, dark corridors, talking Japanese,
T.O.P, death by strangulation, cellphones, female geekettes, gambling, T.O.P,
ironing your camos, manly smooching, 4Minutes in nightclubs, T.O.P, guns.
I SAY YES.
(Except. 20 episodes of 1 hour. T.O.P time: approx. 10 mins per ep. ERM. Let's say I'll start marathoning after five of them?)
/EDIT 1: Ep 3
Add to that *explosive cherries*, onsens, and kisses in the snow.
Also, obviously the Japanese girl's name is Yuki. Of course.
Bikes.
Bad guys en Renault.
Underwear.
TONGUES AND LIPS.
Under(bed)cover action. (AND THEN 'WRAPPED IN A BLANKET TOGEDAH' SHOT.)
Surprising boobage considering owner's sleeping position.
Adorable awkwardness.
OMG THEY HAD SECKS.
Igloos. Ski.
And patriotism because you know, what the hell, quoi, those damn North Koreans sure get cocky at times!
Kickass driving.
OH MY GOD T.O.P STOP MESSING WITH MY HORMONES!!!
EP 4:
T.O.P drives a boat single-handedly while wearing leopard glasses.
I say, respect.
He also speaks English. Hell, no. He speaks AMERICAN, oh yes he does.
Also, Mr. Black. LOL. Major LOL.
/EDIT 2:
EP 5-6:
MISE EN ABYME BIG-BANG
Cassage de gueules de types louches. By T.O.P. For a damsel in distress.
The plot gets slightly confusing, but that might be because I started marathoning and spotting the T.O.P bits.
Kickass bodyguard woman is kickass. She does lift-ups.
Love square! AHA!
SCRATCH THAT.
The main story is boring as fuck.
WHY, then, did I download more than 20Go of this?
Well,
HE is super trendy.
HE has ninja skills.
HE can cook/pour wine/brew coffee/be wonderfully domestic.
HE glares and stares really wel.
And obviously HE is really hot.
RANDOM BITS:
Breaking necks.
Playing hide and seek.
AND MORE, COMING SOON!
(BWT, the macros are mine. Piss off, greedy brats.)
