Lengthy meta on Will It Snow on Christmas and Chuno

Jan 29, 2010 14:34

I have been catching up with Will It Snow on Christmas and it's such a lovely, undestated gem of a drama.

The notable thing is the plot development that bothered me so when I first learned of it (Ji Wan's mother, due to psychological trauma, represses and regresses and believes Kang Jin is her dead son and Kang Jin goes along with it for 3 years) ( Read more... )

Gosh, it was about time for me to get so much obsessed with a drama!!! I hope you won't change your mind in liking it. :P

I also hope they won't spoil Tae Ha!! I am fine with him dying (actually I think it will be his character who will die in this drama, I think this is how it is going to end : Tae Ha and Chul Woong will die with Dae Gil and Un Nyun implied after Tae ha's death). But if they make him lose his awesomeness - I swear I will never watch a Kdrama again. :D It has been a while since I liked a character so much (since Legend, may be).

I also glad you changed your mind back to liking "Christmas" - Kang Jin is awesome.

I am sure I won't change. If I start out liking a drama, I rarely stop (I think there's been all of 3 dramas where I switched).

I am sure they won't spoil TH. The writer really seems to know what he/she is doing.

I do think though that if any of the mains are going to die (which is likely), DG is the most likely - simply because I can't imagine a happy life for him after all this. What would he do?

But I hope TH survives, if anybody does, because he so deserves it. He can be a mentor to the little prince (who apparently survived to adulthood and had kids of his own). I also looked it up and the current king is set to die soon - year or two at most, depending on when the story takes place.

Btw, how far in are you?

Re: Christmas. Yes, I am so glad I continued. KJ is total love.

I think they are going to have a redemption story for DG, but TH is such a Maximus - he is going to die heroically saving the young prince.

I am watching the episode 4 - and weeping :( about the baby.

The bit with the baby - I think it's the most horrible thing I've ever seen in a drama. It probably got me so hard because I have a baby of my own, but I can't even think about that scene without freaking out. I've rewatched most of the drama since but I always skip this part.

He is very Maximus-like isn't he? Only even cooler. *infatuated sigh* I just love that he had so many unbearable things happen to him and yet he still maintained all his humanity, however shell-shocked he got.

And he never got to hold the baby when he was alive. I must stop thinking about this because I am freaking out all over again. They should have trigger warnings for this sort of thing.

Hi there! A friend on my flist linked me to your journal as I was raving all by myself about Chuno; although there are people who watch kdramas on my flist, none of them is watching Chuno atm. I know, what?!?, right?

Anyhow, your journal, OMG why didn't I know of its existence before? alsdjlsadkj I LOVED your meta and I agree on pretty much everything you said. I'm not sure I completely agree on Un-nyu as of yet cos so far, imho, her character is too flat and underdeveloped. True, it might be because, as you have pointed out, Tae-ha's presence sheltered her from the consequences of her choices. I'll reserve judgment till I see more.

I've watched up to ep 7 (*pets WITHS2's VIA access*) and I can't wait for more. I'm SO tempted to watch it unsubbed, but I'm afraid its awesomeness will be lost on me; I do understand korean a little, but sadly, not as much as needed to watch a sageuk and get all the subtle nuances of the plot.

I need to catch up on your old posts. Hee!

*waves back*

I like UN (I am on ep 10) - she is very reserved but she had decided ideas and is very strong. But mmv.

I don't know any Korean but I am spoilerfile so between soompi summaries I am OK. (Btw, are you in North America? If so, you can watch through ep 8 subbed on viikii in hd, and by sat morning you'll be able to watch through ep 10).

You can get icons at alexandral but they are spoilery for ep 10.

I made some (nowhere near as good but not spoilery) here:

Being spoiled for IRIS - yikes. It was my favorite drama of 2009 and the thought of being spoiled for it if I didn't want to be - OMG.
