Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?
A;FSDKLJF;LSAJFKLDFJF. HANADAN. They cover the stake in sparkles and sunshine so you never expect when they DRIVE IT IN YOUR HEART.
I loathed ep 11, but in a way I'm glad it happened. It feels their relationship is on more equal ground now. It's no longer the super-Jandi show with the misadventures of her idiot boyfriend; she can be thoughtless and immature too, and make bad decisions that weren't foisted on her in a deus ex mama, and Jun Pyo gets to be the magnanimous one every once in awhile. IMO, there's a balance that wasn't there before. Jandi has chosen -- not just had Ji Hoo withdraw, not just had Jae Ha sweep in with a black cape, but really made the decision she wants to be with Jun Pyo. She can't pretend he's just her hot tagalong anymore.
THAT SAID, if they keep wussifying her when the plot demands it, I'm going to scream. What happened to the girl who made bullies look her in the eye when they tormented her? When did her strength become a joke? ("lolol I wanna see her roundkick again, PS I'm a douche.") Attention: when your fearless heroine can be subdued by two unarmed perverts with spirit fingers, you need to re-examine your goddamn writing.
"It's Ga Eul's birthday!" "Who's more important, Ga Eul or me?!" "Ga Eul!"
AHAHAHA. NO HESITATION.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF HOGWARTS, HARRY?
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I brought you a bag of mixed signals."
That is some intense eyeliner. Is it just me or does he look like Shige?
I cracked up at Ji Hoo super-intently watching his orchestra movie. Nothing moves him, not even Jun Pyo's bitching ("she avoids me whenever I ask her out! it's like she has an ancestor who died of dating!"), and eventually JP conks out and Ji Hoo tucks him in -- but only after the movie's over. *dies*
"You mean I posed for a national magazine with a famous model and got caught??" Seriously, what is with his geeky disguise? You think if Akanishi Jin walked in a room of Japanese schoolgirls with some eyeglasses on, people would MIRACULOUSLY IGNORE HIM?
"Ha ha! Little did you know, I'm a vampire! I like it!"
I love Ji Hoo's elegant disapproval. You know he got it from Shizuka right down to the pose.
Was anyone else amused at his own posters plastering his walls? Then again, Jandi like guys who do that.
"I know what I did wrong and what Jun Pyo means to me now." YESSSSS. The slap came about an hour late, but I'll take it!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SCENE FOR WEEKS. WOOOO!!!
Jandi takes a hit from the chair to save Jun Pyo from Jae Ha's splintery wrath. It fucking breaks across her back. THAT'S MY GIRL.
ALMOST PARADISE? REALLY? THAT'S YOUR MUSICAL CHOICE HERE?
AHAHAHA!!! WOOBIN HAD A WHOLE THIRTY SECONDS OF SCREENTIME! IT'S A MIRACLE!
And three weeks later, his body is discovered in the woods, and Ji Hoo calmly sips his tea...
Is he in a wheelchair? And still by Jandi's side? Oh, my heart cannot take this.
"I'd rather get the crap kicked out me than see them hurt even one of your fingers." OMG.
LOL at Ji Hoo just walking away when he starts hearing shrieks and insults from inside. He knows what kind of idiots they are.
Goddamn, Darth Mama is cold. And Jandi's mother is so much more hardcore than I realized. It reminds me of Jandi's bullying -- here are these proud characters in unwinnable situations, so they own their own pain and ride out the humiliation by taking whatever control they can. Jandi's mother lugged a whole bowl of salt to the Goo house just so she could douse herself. If that's not a steel iron will, I don't know what is.
OMG
OMG OMG OMG
Jandi: "I'm here to return the money."
DM: "If that wasn't enough, I can give you more."
Jandi: "I didn't know you could put a price on pride. How much is yours?"
DM: "... Unbelievable."
"A person's heart is not something you can buy with money. You didn't know that, did you? But Jun Pyo knows." You can see the flash of OH NO YOU DIDN'T in DM's eyes. Jandi's balls must be aching with how much they're slapped in people's faces.
HE MADE HER PANCAKES. ♥ ♥
Awww, Ji Hoo! It kills me how he arranges these things and doesn't even participate.
OH. MY. GOD. CUTEST SCENE EVER. He has the moon and star necklace in his jacket pocket, so he drapes it over her, demands she stuff her hands in there to keep them warm, then very determinedly turns away when she rummages around like "hey, there's something in here!" SO CUTE. SO CUUUUUUUTE.
LOLOLOL. SHE MAKES FUN OF HIM FOR HIS GIRLY NECKLACE. HIS EXPRESSION IS PRICELESS. "IT'S YOURS!"
It's one-of-a-kind, designed by JP himself. "Because Geum Jandi is the moon that can never leave Jun Pyo the star. Even if something happens, I'll never let go of this moon." This is how you know Hanadan is fiction, because a real teenage boy with jewelers on his payroll would have boob earrings and blingin' playboy rings.
HE LEANS IN FOR A KISS...
AND SNEEZES ALL OVER HER LOLOLOL.
She gives his coat back, so he drapes himself over her and wraps it around them both. *_____* Sigh.
"QUICK, LASSIE! SOMEONE'S IN TROUBLE!" "I'm on my way!!! Ga Eul, be sure to stand perfectly still before the drunk, blind, inexplicably wayward skier!!"
AHAHAHAHA. I love them SO MUCH. Skiers, shoe cakes and all.
Jandi "loses" the necklace, which is a cause for angsty confrontation. "You're always like this. If you truly knew my heart, you wouldn't step all over it." Oh, woobie!
So he takes it out... on a snowman with Jandi's hat?? *dies*
It's not a kdrama unless someone's throwing themselves in oncoming traffic for love.
"So, Hye Sun, why do you want the role of Jandi?" "Well, I'm good at going limp. And being drugged. And freezing into paralysis. Really, the whole unconsciousness thing is one of my strengths." "Shit, you're hired!"
"I came to find your heart. I didn't lose it on purpose." Awwwwwwwww!!!
AWWWW YEAH. NAKED HYPOTHERMIA SNUGGLING!
Not quite as naked as the original, but seeing as how Lee Min Ho is shirtless and Jandi is wearing Jun Pyo's shirt, I'll give the Korean government a pass.
I bet that was really arousing, since Jun Pyo is sopping wet and Jandi's probably swimming with bacteria.
omg I love how his fingers curl, like he really wants to grab her hand and not let go.
TOTALLY CALLED IT. The best present you could give Jun Pyo is his own face.
But Jun Pyo's father collapsed! He had to leave RIGHT THEN!!!
OF COURSE SHE MISSED THE PLANE. OF COURSE SHE DID. Where Japan gave us plane-chasing and sunlit kisses, Korea gifts us with broken-hearted sobbing and bitter regrets.
Next week: timeskip! I am so nervous. I can't think of a timeskip I ever liked. The one in Tree of Heaven put me off so much I didn't finish the drama for months, and I was the naysayer in Naruto fandom wailing "But... I liked Sakura before."
