Leverage has been renewed! YESSSSSS! \o/
AND HANADAN 9 EEEEEEEEEEE. I spent the ENTIRE EPISODE flapping my hands and making ecstatic dolphin noises. I was afraid the shine had worn off the series, but now I realize: all I need is a little shirtlessness, some girls kicking ass, and swooningly romantic dorkfest romance.
Quick thoughts:
Only in a kdrama do you get flashbacks of what happened literally five minutes ago. FIVE MINUTES.
I love that Jandi doesn't cover her mouth when she sneezes, and instead gives projectile snot to anyone in the vicinity. It's the little touches of a true country bumpkin. (And HEE at Ji Hoo buying the medicine because he knew she'd ignore his advice and get sick anyway. Where can I get a boyfriend like that?)
"I liked him better when he was messing up proverbs." Aw, friendship.
Yi Jung: "I'm more afraid of Jandi than Jun Pyo's mom." AHAHAHA. SMART BOY.
How much do I love that F4's lair is actually branded with their name? In case Jun Pyo forgets.
Ji Hoo plucking at the guitar!! ♥ ♥
Welcoming JP to the Geum family. ("Shh, everyone is nervous their first time." "But why did I have to take my clothes off?? WHERE ARE YOU STICKING YOUR HAND-- ")
The littlest Stooge!
No comment necessary. (Unless you need me to point out that he is awfully experienced at taking a bite out of Ji Hoo's apple.)
He gave her his hat! Aww! And then stands around looking gorgeous, hair at full glory! It's good Hanadan is playing to its strengths.
"Do you think I'm free? I'm so busy I don't even remember that you didn't call me for three days and thirteen hours." Smooth like chunky peanut butter.
"OH WHAT A COINCIDENCE I had no idea you'd be here let'shaveadate!" The dork is killing me. Nine episodes and Jandi still has a fresh arsenal of "what an IDIOT" expressions.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAP. I'm surprised Jun Pyo didn't buy the whole machine.
OMG OMG OMG. Asshole Boyfriend is trying his patience (seriously, what a jerk -- at least the Japanese version had the benefit of Oshinari Shugo's face), but Jun Pyo CLENCHES HIS FIST AND MOVES ON. Yessss! Go baby go! Anger management! You are almost human!
HOW SO PRETTY. *__*
aklfsdjklsfdf he blows on her fingers and tugs her hand in his pocket SO CUTE I AM GOING TO DIEEEEEE
I love that when he's caught, Jandi's posture is already broadcasting IMMINENT SMACKDOWN. I kept chanting "jump off the railing! SUPERHERO LEAP!"
AND SHE DOES!
AND ROUNDKICKS HIM TO THE GROUND!
AND PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE!
AND STOMPS HIS CHEST AND DECLARES THAT IF HE APPEARS BEFORE GA EUL AGAIN, SHE'LL KILL HIM! (PLUS SHE CALLED JUN PYO HER BOYFRIEND! AHHHH!! TOO MUCH AWESOME TO HANDLE!)
HE IS COWERING IN THE DIRT AND FLINCHING AT HER VOICE ALONE. AND JANDI TURNS TO THE HOBAG AND IS LIKE "WHO ARE YOU? GO HOME!" AND THE GIRL FLEES FOR HER LIFE. JANDI: A MILLION, WORLD: 0.
I completely missed this was his father -- for a moment I thought he was angsting about an older boyfriend.
HE STOPS FOR GA EUL CRYING IN THE STREET. ♥ ♥ Because Korea is only ten minutes around.
AHAHAHA. "It wasn't me! It wasn't me!" and everyone is just GLARING.
Obviously apple = sex. Jandi offers it, Ji Hoo steals it, Jun Pyo snatches whatever leftovers he can. *dies*
a;fldkjsksdfjlsdf I love everything about this scene! Yi Jung feigning disinterest (but sneaking peaks and smiling), Gae Eul hamming it up for the mirror because she's cute and knows it. ♥ ♥ ♥ I read that even the actress is rooting for a happy ending between them.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE
He walks ALL THE WAY AROUND just so the ladies will start swooning, and Asshat will feel the burn when YJ steals his date. Someone needs to make an icon saying "smooth criminal."
"There is someone here who has completely stolen my heart." (hyperventilates)
HE DECORATED A PLAYGROUND FOR HER. I. I don't even. He is SUCH A DORK. He probably thought he was being really suave too. a;flsdkfjsdf I love them.
AND HE KNEELS BEFORE HER (AS ALL MORTALS SHOULD)
AND
AND
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I CAN'T EVEN!
I JUST--
*GESTURES*
