Largely about kickass female archers, Bae Yong Joon in armor and brutal medieval polo

Seeing that I am almost done with the lovely Snow White on DVD, and can take MISA only in carefully-controlled doses, on computer (I always split my dramas into computer and DVD (I usually watch one of 'each kind' at the same time...well not literally...), my DVD drama is Hotaru No Hikari, when I finish SW, but my computer drama is...

The Legend. ( Read more... )

Okay, I am watching this.

I want Kame and the nun, too!! Wah! Also, Hong Gil Dong episode 3!

Have you started "Robbers"?

Yay! It's so good, and has this whole Arthurian/Lord of the Rings/fairytale mix. Plus, an awesome tomboy heroine.

I haven't started Robbers yet.

I am watching 5 dramas at the same time: Snow White, MISA, Red Dust, Legend and HGD, plus will start Kame/Nun as soon as it subs, so I think I will have to finish one of them in order to get to Robbers, which I want, in order not to totally lose my mind :)

Oh man. That looks so nuts. Kind of like that Nine-tailed Fox drama that looked lovely but a liiiiittle too insane for me to get through all of. :D

So how is Snow White? I kind of want to check out Lee Wan in a drama but Tree of Heaven etc seem way too angsty.

It gets a lot less mythic and a lot more gritty-fantasy a la LOTR or King Arthur from then on, but I don't know if it's your thing.

Re: Snow White. I really should do a proper long post about it, but short version:

it's awesome. Very funny, and not draggy, and I finished ep 10 and there really isn't any angst beloved of kdramas (small angsty short moments are about it), and the heroine is a total nut and I love Lee Wan in this as a bad boy, and they have awesome chemistry. Plus, happy ending! So I highly rec.

Hmm, it's ringing all my bells, except for the fact that it has BYJ in it...

I can't stand him and cannot get over the fact that he looks like Harry Potter and all though Winter Sonata, he sported girly glasses and even girlier blue scarfs artfully tied and arranged so that the knot rested on his shoulder...gacck! yep! it's been 4 years since i last saw Winter Sonata and I'm still too traumatised!

seriously, not attractive and not hawt! though i will admit to him having a nice body...

I really must see Winter Sonata ASAP if for nothing else than to check out the scarf as I rememeber kitsune714 ranting about it as well. Must be a heck of a piece of clothing.

I thought the Harry Potter thing when I first saw pics of him in those glasses :)

However *tempts* it's quite different in The Legend. The non-prologue version has no glasses but has awesome long hair and armor and wields a mean sword. The overall effect is rather anime, which I like. I didn't find 'Potter' pictures of him attractive, but I do find him attractive here, which might or might not be the case for you :)

But also, there are a lot of other cool and hot characters. Mmmm...

Such as this and this.

It's all subbed now. But yes, so incredibly pretty.

I think I've read through this picspam three times now. meganbmoore just linked because she started with the eps. I thought after alexandral was finished I wouldn't feel bad about not watching this (because it could be cool) but the happy started over the show again, and I do. So I found a place I can get it from, although you tried to help me out before.

Also, I'm finally friending you.

Thanks :) I hope to have some actual content about this stuff up soon. At least I'm learning picspam and commentary from the best! heh
