RAAAAAAAGE! SCREAMING RAAAAAAGE

[dangermousie]

So, did anyone watch the preview for episode 18 of Pick the StarsA lot of juicy things going on such as dreaded gangster-selling. I have seen enough kdramas to recognize what a heroine being in the den of mobster loan-sharks looks like. What I want to (worriedly) know is what she used as a collateral - I still remember Slingshot, thanks

Omg, unrelated, but check out this photo montage of the Holi festival. It is really something!

Neat!

OMPH! I take my eye off this drama for a week and what?? Nmi needs a transplant (ok, I had enough of contrivances in this drama already!) And in the orphanage! And slapping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And I am still raging at DG for pinting swords/shouting to UN!!)

[dangermousie]

LOL.

Actually, I thought a transplant was going to come up from way back when - question was just which of the kids - that's the best way for Kang Ha and Jun ha to learn the kids are not related, Grandpa find out PK is his granddaughter etc.

I am weird, but I think what DG did is so much worse. Slapping someone is so much better than calling her all sorts of vicious names, sticking a weapon to her neck and making her kneel, and then taking off her husband for torture so she is left defenseless with the prince everyone wants to kill. Oh, and getting her brother and bodyguard killed. Kang Ha is waaaay ahead.

[alexandral]

I am with you. I will be v. disappointed if DG will just get away with all this just "because his love is so big and pure and he is so awesome".

Kang Ha: we are not sure about the context yet. I can do with "come to your senses" slap , if she slaps him back.

[dangermousie]

It's a come-to-your-senses one. She yells at him (she doesn't have to slap him - she slapped him earlier and had way less justification for doing so :P)

Re: DG. I get so torn. I fluctuate between feeling sorry/liking his character and wanting to stab him in the eye - during different rewatches of the same scenes!

It may sound pretty bad but I'm kinda used to watching dramas where the hero smacks the heroine upside the head. It seems to be a dorama male thing like 'get a hold of yourself' rather than actual, need to hurt rage.

And maybe it will be a stereotypical kdrama smack which would be the equivalent of being lightly brushed against the face with a handkerchief.

[dangermousie]

ROFL - yeah, it was a snap-out-of-it slap. Fine with me.

[anonymous]

She's the heroine, so she has to be slapped anyway... whoever the slapper is and for any kind of weird reasons.

That's called "FATE".

LOLOLOL true

I can't wait till subs for the last two eps of Pasta come out so I can start on WUAS, even the slapping doesn't deter me! (...much)

And I'm with the other commenters re: the slap, it could be a "get a hold of yourself, woman!" slap, in which case it might be understandable. I'd have to see it in context; usually I despise any man who raises a hand to a woman but I'd need to know the situation first.

From what I've read, he's put up with a fair bit, what with her brood of siblings taking over his house. It would have to be something epic to provoke him into a slapping rage.

[dangermousie]

It made sense in context so I am pretty happy.

he's put up with a fair bit, what with her brood of siblings taking over his house. It would have to be something epic to provoke him into a slapping rage.

LOL. Indeed. Also, seeing he managed not to beat his horrible sociopathic fiancee senseless indicates a freakly level of restraint :P
