re: IRIS ep. 18 preview:

I am getting really nervous - Hyun Joon seems to be suspecting Seung Hee - if she is a member of IRIS then I will positively die.

I'm not getting that vibe at all. Could be an editing issue, could be KTH not playing it right, but in any case, all he does is ask: 'A phone call from a mysterious source led the terrorists to set you free. Aren't you curious why you were released?' And I think it's just sinking in for SH, after all, she was too groggy at the time & never knew about the phone call.re: the LBH thing-- his fans @DCgall are driving me nuts. Yes, any lawsuit is upsetting, yes, it's outrageous he's been blackmailed & it took some toll on him (apparently they've been threatening him with phone calls since Nov), yes, why must this happen now, etc. but get a grip. If you trust him, trust him. He's not a defenseless, thin-skinned, child-like person over whom you need to bristle & weep & attack. They're just adding fuel to the drama, when the best thing would be to play it cool & let the lawyers take care

[dangermousie]

Phew - thanks for relieving my mind on IRIS. I do wonder why on earth Baeksan likes her so much. Hmm.

Re: LBH. I am sure he has excellent lawyers who can take care of it just fine. I am still boggled by the fact that you can apparently sue for breach of promise in Korea - heeee, why don't jilted secondary girls in dramas ever think of that course of action?

[clairiere]

Haven't looked into the details, to be honest (just reminds me why I have to take a k-entertainment hiatus every now & then), but legal case sounds shaky and LBH's side may even have actual evidence of blackmail.

Ep. 17 is good, though you were right, they couldn't cram everything (ie. the print preview). Not much JJH but that's alright, it was one helluva heartbreaker of a scene. Ditto Kim SoYeon (though she had more airtime).

The extended preview of Chuno at the end hits all the right notes for me & does whet my appetite, but while I'm sure KBS is THRILLED to pieces they have such a terrific line-up back-to-back, feels like it controls me rather than the other way around. I need a looooooong break. Let's see how strong my willpower is once you start watching.

ETA: ep. 18 preview

[clairiere]

Oy.

You know what?

You were right, I was wrong.

::hangs head::

ZOMG Chuno could hardly look more delicious if it tried. I think what I like about it is that it both looks like it could be a fantastic romance AND has the vibe of one of those epic historical epics ala Braveheart or Gladiator, right down to the soundtrack(and I'm not sure I've ever seen martial arts/fighting this good in a drama - movies, yes, dramas, no).

I wasn't planning on watching Xmas necessarily since I hate childhood stories, but this one sounds unusually sensible and it does seem giddily romantic, so I think I will. though I stil think Go Soo has an expressionless face.

I read the LBH article this morning and it blew my mind for the lulz:)

I love Wodehouse, though I'm like others in preferring his later stuff(Jeeves is later right?)

[dangermousie]

Chuno looks so ridiculously good. Every new bit out makes me so excited.

ETA: I totally died at the piggybacking bit - it's the only non-grimy part of the whole drama. OTOH, LDH being dragged away - yikes.

Re: Xmas. Childhood stuff is only the first ep and it's not the only reason they like each other, I promise. (Plus, to me, huge difference between resuming a teen romance and one which happened when you were 10).

Re: LBH. Seriously, I feel bad for the guy, it must have been stressful, but lololololol.

Yup, Jeeves is later. I love that, just love earlier stuff more.

[ambergold]

the piggybacking killed me nineteen different ways:)

Plus, to me, huge difference between resuming a teen romance and one which happened when you were 10 - exactly so, this is why I hate most childhood stories because the kids "fall in love" when they're around 10 and honestly, I don't even REMEMBER when I was ten! everything before age 14 or so is pretty much a blur except for a few random scattered images - so for me to believe that they go around the rest of their life shaped and driven by their memory of some cute kid they liked when they were 10 is just laughable to me - particularly since as adults even if it is a treasured memory they would/should still possess the maturity to move on. ha.

but yes - I can totally buy high school romance because they're old enough to really fall in love and it's such a hormonal time that it always deeply effects your life

[dangermousie]

I have memories of having a torrid summer romance with two boys at the same time (we had our own love triangle) when I was about 7. It was sweet and wonderful and I actually remember the feeling so well - being attractive, and excitement, and pleasure.

But. The point is that I do not remember their names or faces at all. So even if I ever ran across them, I would never ever recognize them. So yeah - not super believable.

Now, that boy I crushed on when I was 12? Another matter entirely :P

[itshelene]

I just have one thing to say, because I am shunning IRIS spoilers like the plague, but Korea seriously has some absurd laws. Come on, who sues somebody because they've been dumped? And doesn't everybody know that LBH is a playboy? That girl is so going to feel wrath of the Korean Netizen. LOL.

[dangermousie]

Seriously - I thought the knowledge that he liked laaaadies was one of those kpop basics :)

I can't believe you can sue over that stuff. I'd be rich.

[boycottbananas]

I loved Alice so I hope you do too. And since you liked Tin Man, you'll probably like Alice. XD And Hatter! He stole my heart from the first scene. :'D

[dangermousie]

Yay!

[crumpeteer]

Hatter's a quirky little doll, isn't he? He reminded me of a more sane, socially acceptible (and clean) Jack Sparrow.

[uhmbrr]

Chuno. Looks. So. So. So. Good.

I haven't spazzed over a drama since... ohmyGod since Dalja's Spring. Of course not comparable but still. It's been a damn long time!

and these fangirls are so ridiculous and annoying. I mean they compared Lee Byung Hun to Tiger Woods who cheated on his WIFE and damaged his family. Worse, even, they compare him to Polanski. Whatintheactualfaaaaaaaack.

To Ms. Canada,

gurrrrl, it’s a privilege to be in LBH’s harem. calm down. that’s called a RELATIONSHIP, it’s not being “lured” into something sinister. It’s called a relationship. You either win some or lose some. There are baggages. There are prince charmings. There are douchebags. he happens to be one.

End of the day---- it is YOUR choice. So accept that you got dumped and thank LBH for his beautiful, great service.

And seriously, if I can sue for all the crappy boyfriends I had, LOL I'm going to be Britney Spears' empire now.

[dangermousie]

LOLOL at your comment.

Polanski and Woods? Really? Polanski raped a 13 yr old, and Tiger cheated on his wife. LBH had a consensual relationship with an adult woman and that relationship didn't work out and he was a bit of a jerk. How is that news?

Chuno - I am going crazy for it.
