The Cleavers. Kind of makes you wonder how the writers really felt about suburbia, huh?
THANK YOU, CRIMINAL MINDS. THANK YOU. (Yes, that is my OTP, and yes, that is an angsty h/c cling. Every once in awhile, Western TV jumps up and down and says "I can be as gay as Japan! No, really!")
Consider this my last positive remark about CM, because I'm on S3 and getting more and more depressed with each episode. The last time I felt this way I was watching The Outsiders (twdrama, not movie) -- it's the same sense of slow-circling doom as each character breaks one at a time. DDD:
Hanadan 7:
I have seen no less than THREE people hop on the Ji Hoo train after Jun Pyo's jerkiness this episode. Bwahaha! You're always welcome, guys!
But seriously, was this ep terrible for JP for what? First the horse thing, then his awful attitude about expelling Jandi, not to mention his utter glee at car racing (which he knows fucked JH up, but see, it's okay when someone else has to confront their childhood phobia, as long as someone helps *him* when it's time to face his fear of water. Bleh.)
The only saving grace is that Jun Hee smacked him every time I wanted to.
HE STUCK HIS TONGUE OUT AT HER. He definitely thinks this is kindergarten.
JUN HEE!
And her first order of business: chasing Jun Pyo down, ninja-flipping across the street to cut off his escape, then beating the shit out of him with a wooden sword she keeps IN HER CAR!!! Ahahaha! Pity the poor mugger who crosses Jun Hee!
No wonder JP is attracted to Jandi's violence. Jun Hee conditioned him to see it as a sign of love.
TWO PEAS IN A FREAKING POD. I LOVE IT. "So Jandi, who did you beat down today?" "Well, I roundkicked my way through some school bullies, then took out my flamethrower... "
HIS "MY BIG SISTER IS APPROACHING OH SHIT OH SHI--" LOOK.
*CRYING* She stalks right up to him and starts PUMMELING HIM WITH HER FASHIONABLE CLUTCH. Then she wrangles him over the desk into a fetal position against the wall, and keeps him bowed with one knee on his back while she casually tells him everything he's doing wrong. a;fskldfjdf
ABUSE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ATTITUDE IMPROVES.
I LOVE HER. I love that all Hanadan females are badass, it's just that some are beautiful too.
HATS! Hee! Want!
I love that, no matter the genre or target audience, everything in Asia can be solved with sports competitions.
We now present Hanadan horse racing, conveniently color-coded for the character's morality.
The horse is named Rui? The HORSE? Why does this drama have so many J names, anyway? Jandi, Jun Pyo, Jun Hee, Ji Hoo, Yi Jung...
omg he pretends the horse is talking to him TOO CUTE AHHHHH
L-O-L-O-L-O-V-E!
You are such an asshole, dude. It doesn't matter if you feel bad if you never learn from your mistakes. How many times if he going to put Jandi through the wringer, then cling to her demanding "Why don't you like me???" I don't even want them together, not like this.
THE SWEATER. THE SHOES. That is the whitest Korean boy ever.
How to know you're watching a kdrama: there is no history too brutal and no innocence left uncorrupted.
Then he angsts in his car, shaking and pounding the wheel, covering his ears when his own disembodied childhood sobbing comes back to haunt him. Don't you love romantic comedies?
That is a badass fucking car, though. I don't even know cars, but I'd give it up to a guy driving that.
SEE. THIS IS WHY I LOVE JANDI AND JUN HEE. Whenever I'm pissed at JP, one of them makes sure he gets punched in the face or dunked into a bowl of... whatever clumpy pink thing Koreans eat for breakfast. A jerky character is so much more tolerable when he's getting his comeuppance by tiny high-heeled females. :D :D
"Bored now."
EYESEX. And Ji Hoo's wonderful godly hair. Yum!
AHAHAHA HUGGING JANDI. "I know it's silly, but this is our strategy for winning." Love her expression -- it's obvious what she thinks of that plan.
AHAHAHA! HE CANNOT STAND IT! I hope it burns, jerk!
Then Jun Pyo almost dies, which everyone celebrates.
AHAHAHAHA.
"This can't happen for Yi Jung or whatever his name is. Let's put laxatives in his porridge."
"Porridge is not to be used for evil!"
"Okay, how about running him over with a bike from behind?"
"Ga Eul!!!"
SO MUCH LOVE. MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT.
I love how he's clearly thinking "oh yeah, she can't stay away," while actually she's been plotting ways to take him out.
*dies* No one curls their lip like a Korean woman.
HOT DAMN. If I'd known he looked like that all wet and manly, I wouldn't have cracked so many baby jokes. (It's odd because we're the same age, but his face is just SO CUTE I feel wrong for my dirty fantasies. I hope all those gaijin women checked his ID before rubbing against him!)
"Tell me just once you like me." I will cry if Jandi's response to this is anything less than "I hate you and your stupid hair and your stupid face, PS how's that veterinary horse fund coming along? You've set one up, right?"
