mostly kdrama-ish
Has anyone seen the following:
Seoul 1945(I think dangermousie asked about it at one point, but I can't remember if snyone chimed in about it, and I don't remember ever seeing other posts about it. Also, are there ANY subs for it besides on the Chinese release DVDs?)
Fashion '70s
Seo Dong Yo/Ballad of Suhdong/Potato Boy
Dae Jang Geum/Jewel of the Palace(ok, I know a few have seen it, but would like details)
Huh Joon/Hur Jun
Also, (to come to the cause for the icon) deprived of other entertainments today, I poked around soompi's Emperor of the Sea thread. Apparently, Jung-Hwa is "the cow" because...she only loved Jang Bogo her whole life and never let Yum-Moon believe he had a chance. Uhm...what? It's a bad thing to let a guy know you appreciate his friendship, but you can't return his feelings because you love someone else? She should have lied to him? Let him think he had a chance just because he was there, then dumped him as soon as Bogo came along again?
Mind you, love her as I do, she does make a number of frustrating and difficult decisions(though I admire her for making hard stands and choices, personally) and any female who watches that series is probably going to go "how can you not fall for this guy?" at least once (though, as appealing as Yum Moon was, Jang Bogo was by far the better man, and the better choice for her) but really, calling a woman "the cow" because she wasn't fickle in her love and didn't lead him on? *kicks something*
Here, have an MV of the characters. WARNING: Extremely spoilery after 3:41
Speaking of Yum Moon/Song Il-Gook, I am watching the kmovie Daddy Long Legs and reminded of my longing to see him and Ha Ji Won in a sageuk together.
Also, I read a massive chunk of Carol Berg's second D'Arnath book today. I have decided that she's one of those authors who loves to put her characters through massive angst, pain and trauma, romantic or otherwise. Yet, I am devouring the thing. Probably because I'd be just as mean to my characters if I were a writer. (BUT I'D GIVE THEM HAPPY ENDINGS! Well, many of them. I'm not sure she will...)
ETA: Also, my Hansungbyulgok and Vineyard Man DVDs came today. ladysaotome, the DVDs play perfect, THANK YOU!!! Hansungbyulgok subs look decent, but with lots of typos.
