As I was telling
ichigo_246 (and you might've been stalking by, Zig), I've been getting this urge to have a DBSK post but I can't. I'll just... watch videos by myself and be sad. /pathetic
...SO ANYWAY, while I'm waiting for people to up and sub Cinderella's Sister -- viikii is being mean to me and while I've been stalking dramabeans' recaps because it makes me appreciate the show more, it's still a different matter entirely to actually watch the show -- , I decided to watch Down with Love.
Ok, little backgrounder of this drama: One of those gender-bender things but she doesn't pretend to be a boy, she pretends to be a lesbian lmfao so you know that's going to bring some sexuality questioning and conflict and general lulz. Jerry Yan, I am envious in light of your band being inactive but still holding a lot of weight in Taiwanese showbiz. He's still the highest earning star as of 2009, I believe. As I was telling Wiw (lol I seem to be telling Wiw everything), I wish DBSK would've gone that route instead. dkfjdk no, I'm not going there today. But anyway, as I was saying, Changmin should just brush up on his Mandarin and be a Taiwanese superstar --
HAHA w/e I thought he looked like Changmin at the time but he kind of doesn't anymore. Maybe in action. Kind of. Sometimes.
JERRY YAN/ELLA SPAM AHEAD
I don't think I can recap coherently, I'm just going to post useless caps for the gorgeousness or the lols
This is Yu Ping (Jerry) with Yang Guo (Ella) and Yang Duo. Yang Duo is his secretary (he's a lawyer) and Yang Guo is her sister/his erstwhile nanny. They are giving out free sanitary pads in this scene. Yes. And he was asking girls about what bothers them the most when they have their period. TMI-ing to Jerry Yan, SO GREATTTT. There was this ahjumma going on about 'itching and the smell' omgggg. But the scene reminded me of Meteor Garden because he drew the crowd of girls, kind of like Ken and Vanness did for the pastry shop. lol. OK, Pat.
I said 'erstwhile nanny' because later on he doesn't need her anymore nanny-wise AND SO HE DISMANTLES HIS VACUUM CLEANER for an excuse to have her come in and take a look at it. Yes, because she is the kind of girl who lugs a fridge on her back. Across Taipei. And ends up getting paid in the form of some sweets and a drink. D:
...The kind of girl who gets a ticket delivering giant teddy bears.
...yeah, that's her talking to her money-obsessed sister. This is like me talking to my brother on the phone, omg so great. xDD
So that's her. Him, he's another thing altogether. One of the most sought-after bachelors in Taiwan, big house, secretly dating a celebrity, big woobie --
This is him being confused if he likes her (because as I said, she's posing as a lesbian) and proving his manliness to the only one who'll listen -- his maimed and fully-clothed statue of David. lolll
Practicing what to say to her to make her come back to work for him. WOOOOBIEEEE♥ (His faces are aces. Hopeful businesslike to agonizing to physical pain to plotting/fantasizing Pahahaha)
Not to be outdone are Ella's faces lmao. This is them going to confront her 'girlfriend' for 'cheating' on her with a guy loll. HE IS SQUISHING HER FACEEE. I thought he was gonna kiss her but that would've been so ??? at that point. (omg I remember Tw dramas to have pretty intense kissing scenes; pls to learn Kdrama/Jdrama) LOOK AT HIS FACE IN THE LAST CAP. So OG. So Dao Ming Si. "If everything can be resolved with 'sorry', why do we need the police?" lmao. Ok, I obviously need to rewatch Meteor Garden xDD
Random sign in his house. It's great.
Nephew (and niece) being matchmakers and proposing she marry their uncle.
What they don't know is that Uncle is eavesdropping on said proposal right outside the door. He tries to make a quick escape since Yang Guo announces she's going to the bathroom but fails, as you can see. (You do not know how many times I replayed that scene to cap his face, OK. Please appreciate.) She lets out a spectacular fart for his trouble lmfao (my maturity level is sky-high, I know)
Oooookayyyy.
Can I just say he makes things look like a commercial. This looks like one for a coffee creamer or sth. ~Mornings having breakfast with family~ and all that.
Watch commercial.
'LAW FIRN' hahaha
I can't look this disgruntled if Jerry Yan were hugging me. Braindead, maybe, but disgruntled, no.
BTW, this is the Other Guy. I think. IDK. He and Yu Ping are friends. YES. FRIENDS.
Didn't get into the angsty stuff between Yu Ping and celeb girlfriend heehee. Sorry, not interested :P Seeing him after all this time made me dl Meteor Garden songs, btw. The drawing power of fandom, huh. Just the other day, Jaejoong made me crave katsudon. And I literally went out of my way just to eat katsudon. Gdi, Kim Jaejoong. :l
