Feminism, you are doing it wrong!

I was browsing around Dramabeans' site and was appalled to discover how many people loved the pool scene from the end of Boys Over FlowersYes. They love the scene where heroine (who has been previously crippled and thus can't swim) jumps into a pool in front of amnesiac hero as a way to force him to remember her. If he does not, she risks drowning

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I never watched an episode of BOF but I read recaps here and there and I remember reading that one and RAGING over it. I think I actually wrote an entry on it, raging and raging about how stupid it was and what it signified and how Makino could kick Jandi's ass so so so so easily. It's weird, I don't really rage about things that I don't watch or know about, but I KNOW how the character of Makino is supposed to be, so for the Korean Makino to make that RIDICULOUS decision made me furious. UGH.

Makino tried to get him to remember her by reminding him of various things and then got fed up, yelled at him and stormed out. She somehow didn't see fit to attempt suicide as a means to bring him back but decided to get on with her life.

YES.

Honestly, I can't even read soompi (if I do, I scroll very fast) because I feel like half the people there are 12 or 13 and hold a completely opposite view from me.

Link to your post?

The thought that they made Makino, of all people, into this dishrag, just makes me rage.

Basically the same things you said.

Did you see the poll that had Hana Yori Dango as one of the most popular foreign DVDs in Japan?

[dangermousie]

LOL, really?

[astrothsknot]

The link to the poll was in supernatural_tv. I think. SPN was the most popular foreign programme

I saw a photo of Gu Hye Sun on dramabeans site and I think she is ruined for me forever because just looking at her made me irritated

She irritates me not just because of the badness of that kdrama but because I do not think she can act at all.

[dangermousie]

Thank you. I am not alone!

I really think she cannot act at all - even before the drama's writing went insane, I thought she was butchering her character.

[dangermousie]

That's one way to prove your love. Also your stupidity.

[dangermousie]

It just - I can't really like or respect someone who is that clingy, you know?

Also, OMG, icon!
