My two obsessions

Sep 08, 2010 15:44

If the first two eps of Sungkyunkwan Scandal rendered me madly in love, eps 3 and 4 reduced me to a state of incoherent gibbering at the screen, complete with spazzy hand-gestures ( Read more... )

I am so in love with Mischievous/Playful Kiss right now. Maybe it's because It Started With A Kiss was my first ever drama anyway and I really liked that, or maybe because this is just the cutesy, happy sort of drama that I love. X3

Yup, it makes me happy to watch it.

KHJ is pretty good in this :)

I'm going to have to check these out.

Yay!

I confess I am puzzled by the fandom love for Song Joong Ki's character.He reminds me of BiDam, not the BiDam who got all serious and angsty towards the end of QSD, but the BiDam who burst onto the scene, the cunning bystander who was cruel, unfeeling, didn't care for politics but also had penetrating insights into power and people. I also find YongHa's nouveau-riche background interesting, which I think explains some of his personality. And which SunJoon picked on when YongHa was ribbing him about being too serious & too proud and knocking the students off their high horse are what the rituals are about. I loved SJ's response, 'if that's the case, why do you keep dressing like a peacock, mocking the students behind that dandy front is no different than what you accuse me of doing.' And I think SJ rose (even higher) in YongHa's esteem for seeing through that ( ... )

I can see the Bidam resemblance and he also reminds me a bit of Kim Bum's character in BOF before the angst truck hit him. He is an interesting character, all right, but I don't love him (but then I didn't like Kim Bum's character until the angsting either and Bidam...is well...Bidam. I love him so much). If SJK is Bidam, I wonder if it makes Sun Joon this story's Yooshin, in which case they got the balance better than QSD (poor boring Yooshin).

They have the book to work from so they will hopefully keep up a good script.

I wonder if it makes Sun Joon this story's Yooshin, in which case they got the balance better than QSD (poor boring Yooshin).I think the character of Gen. Kim Yooshin (who did not deserve such an awful fate at the hands of the QSD writers) was pretty much doomed from the moment they forced a romance with the Princess/Queen which not only did not exist IRL but on-screen was also completely devoid of chemistry, and in the process stripped him of everything that made him such a compelling figure in history. The execution was so awful that he wasn't just boring compared to BiDam, he was boring compared to everyone else. The only few times I saw some spark to his scenes were opposite GHJ/MiShil but beyond that... The writers seemed to thrive with their fictional creations (eg. MiShil, BiDam) but completely stuck when it came to the real-life figures (eg. QSD, Kim Yooshin, Kim Chunchu), but I'm getting off-track ( ... )

Poor Yooshin. I wonder if the writers weren't helped by the fact that my hunch before QSD aired that UTW wouldn't do well in a period drama were in general borne out - he just doesn't have the vibe.

Luckily everyone seems to fit into SKKS.

Hi :-) I haven't posted here before, but I really enjoy reading your posts! So um nice to meet you :-)
I'm also obsessed with Sungkyunkwan Scandal - waiting a week for new episodes is torture haha. That's why I haven't started watching MK, because I'm afraid of the same thing happening.
I love Sun Joon and Yoon Hee. I think I'll probably love SJK's character eventually - when we get to know him better- but he's just too mean to like at the moment, however cute he looks. :P
SJ and YH have got bullied a lot since they came to sungkyunkwan, haven't they? I'm really curious/excited for when they become friends with Yong Ha and the student body president, since they really don't get on right now...
..SJ/YH in the preview was so adorable.. :)

Hi!

OMG, you have Kairi icon! I loved her and Ojiro/Kairi so much!

he's just too mean to like at the moment, however cute he looks

Exactly.

I can totally see why SJ got hazed btw - he really sticks out. Isn't it a Japanese proverb about a nail sticking out going to be hammered down. And YH is caught by association but she probably would have always stuck out as an outsider to the cozy social order.

Re: president. I keep wanting for him to find out that his father is blackmailing the woman he is obsessed with into sex.

nixi162 September 9 2010, 01:00:37 UTC

yay :-D Kairi!

Oh gosh... I almost don't want that to happen and yet I kinda do xD, and it will anyway. And furthermore, she's going to be in love with Yoon Hee? Poor scary guy :-(

Could I send a friend request to you?

dangermousie September 9 2010, 13:11:30 UTC

Yes, of course. I will friend you back.

Yeah, scary sexy guy is not in for a nice time :) I can't wait :)
