pretending like I'm not trying to solve the paradox: T.O.P. or G-Dragon?
I got so many people talking about Skip Beat! in my recent posts, I ended up borrowing Vols. 18+19 from my friend who owns manga tonight.
It's fun to read the volumes because I've read so much in the scanned and fan-translated versions, it's much richer when I do...also, they've cleaned up the art so it's almost a different experience.
Thought for those following along: Kyoko's mom. I didn't think she'd come into the story much after Kyoko declares her self-emancipation from her but after rereading a certain interaction with Koo/Kuu, I'm thinking that maybe there needs to be an arc about that relationship to really address all of Kyoko's wounds. The reason she was so pathologically attached to Sho (and so fierce in her turn against him) is because of that mother-rejection.
Which makes it much sadder, really. :(
I'm working on an EPIC K-DRAMA LIST OF DOOM, to include brief intros to my favorites, an overview of the differences from T-Drama and J-Drama, too. There will be a lot of friendly-neighborhood cuts. Don't say I never did anything for you!
MYUNG WOL THE SPY, PLEASE BE SUBBED SOON
lastly, you think these dramas say all the same things, and you say so, and then you watch an episode without subs and have almost no idea what's going on and see the error of your ways.
That is all.
