Beautiful Days push - have a manpain feast today :)

Dec 17, 2009 08:15

I woke up an hour earlier than I had to be because I was soanxious about IRIS. There is fannish and there is unhealthy. It's just as well that it's ending - I have never been this obsessed about drama in all my years of watching. Never.

This also made me decide to rewatch Beautiful Days with Lee Byung Hun and Choi Ji Woo.

This is one of my absolute favourites - a perfect melodrama. I even liked the ugly step-brother (he was in another good drama "Honesty" with Choi Ji Woo - could have been one of your things "they get together pretty early and face the world and he never ever looks at another woman" if not for your dislike of the actor).

Choi Ji Woo is my biggest girl-crush and her herouines are my absolute favourites (never noisy or bitchy which I dislike).

This really is the perfect melodrama - I agree.

I don't hate stepbrother as a character (because he was necessary) but as a person - I think I hit the roof when he told the heroine he forgave her for sleeping with his stepbrother which was mighty kind of him, seeing that heroine was in no way shape or form ugly brother's girlfriend and has been dating LBH from the start. Just - I thought he was awful.

I don't mind checking out Truth - if the plot sounds appealing, I'll always give anyone a chance (Park Yong Ha went from "I loathe him" to "love" though one of those)

ohGod. The Truth/Honesty was horrible. And the men were ugly.

uhmbrr December 17 2009, 17:56:55 UTC

lol omg that came out Rood. What I meant is "horrible" in a sense that it's so makjang.

And CJW was HARDLY in it. it was mostly a Park Sun Young drama.

I LAHV LAHV LAHV Min Chul but I hated Choi Ji Woo's wailing character. LOL. Like, I totally got LBH here, he was like a sly panther here with all the emotional turmoil and angst... and even say, frailty.

but I cannot stand Yoon Soo. I just can't. I thought she was too quiet, too subdued, too much of a martyr, she's not even dim at all but she's so self-sacrificing and like a little mother to all the cubs ... can't. stand. it.

I was far more invested with the rivalry of the men/family rather than their love story.

Want to know who I adored in this drama? Yang Mimi. that bitch was fierce.

dangermousie December 17 2009, 17:38:49 UTC

Mimi? Is that the singer? I totally loathed her (but I thought she had a secret lesbian crush on CJW's character). Heh.

I loved CJW's character but I usually love her ladylike, quiet and strong ones - I thought she was pretty awesome :)

Minchul = mmmmmmmmmmmmm. My thoughts are probably not even legal :)

Also, your icon!!!!!!

uhmbrr December 17 2009, 17:48:51 UTC

yah. Yang Mimi. I just wanted her to wreak as much havoc as she can. I thought LBH's dad needed all the bitter medicine she was giving, and I was like, "HELLYAH!DIEYOUALL!DIE!!!! YOU KILLED HER SONGWRITAH!1111eleventy ( ... )

I have a lot of anger issues when it comes to Korean melodrama. I always want an anti-hero(ine)to come out winning and Yang Mimi got what she wanted. Even with her fake, plastic nose and all.

I wanted someone to take a hammer to Minchul's father. A rusty, heavy hammer. And use it on his head.

If BYJ and CJW made another drama, internet would explode and go down for the count.

I've been thinking about watching this for a while, and this was the final push. Downloading the 2nd ep now.

dangermousie December 17 2009, 18:32:45 UTC

Yess!

It has the fast-forwardable bits (as it's an older drama) but the shippy stuff is so good! So good.

Now that I think about it, maybe the good stuff starts halfway into ep 1? I don't remember. *tries to think but her dvds are not here*

Let me know where ep 2 starts and I can fill in the blanks.

This is SO GOOD.

I found this, which I wrote an ep-and-a-half in which should hopefully fill in the gap:

Our saintly heroine who lurves her best friend Sena (she calls her 'sister' but I am sure they are not biologically related) a little too much. In fact, it will take a lot to convince me they are not a lesbian couple, as they exchange couples rings at one point ( ... )

uhmbrr December 17 2009, 19:52:03 UTC

lol lesbian couple, ftw.

dangermousie December 17 2009, 20:41:59 UTC

Seriously, whiny quasi-sister acted like some sort of a spurned lover.

*hates her*
