Oh, Chosun, Queen of My Heart

[dangermousie]

I am sure all the Yoon Hee/Sun Joon and Jalgeum Quartet stuff will be ably covered by my flist, so I am going to post a scene which made me flail like mad and involved Chosun.

Squeeee! That was my reaction for the whole Cho Sun/In Soo/Jae Shin sequence. LOL! Cho Sun is all kinds of wonderful and I'm glad that In Soo proved he's a man after all.

Jae Shin yaa! What can I say... he's awesome! I LOLed so hard when he gave the lady outlaw her message back with corrections. Oh my! I guess she's the one who is JS's OTP in the 2nd book.

Btw, did you notice that Sun Joon grabbed the Red Book when they fell on the floor. Gosh, I sort of had hysterics at that point.

I'd pay for those spin-offs too!

I noticed the red book thing too. LOLOLOLOL I am dying at the thought of them going page by page methodically carrying out experimentation :P (apparently at some point in this ep she told him she copied books like this thrice for the bookstore. LOLOLOLOL).

Re: outlaw girl. In the second book it's someone else who is his OTP but since they are never making sequels and deviated from books a lot anyway, I don't mind the change. Plus, it's totally fitting. I laughed like a maniac at the corrections. Ahhhh, Jae Shin. When he grins, my heart melts.

Chosun is so awesome and I think after this she will finally believe In Soo does love her. Hopefully those two screwed-up kids will work it out - the way she was looking at him, they may. :P

BTW, now that the drama itself is finished, where can I get the subs? (With2s usually does the kdramas I'm interested in.)

[dangermousie]

soompi's skks thread has all the subs in the very first post on that thread. Let me know if you can't get there.

Nooooo! Why the moustache SJ???? Why? Some men can pull it off, but I liked you better as a baby-faced, wide-eyed boy. lol

[dangermousie]

I think hair = passage of time. I didn't mind it :)

Re: MJS. I dunno. I was fine with it because I never got that he loved YH so completely as to pine for her forever (not like SIG), plus clearly some time has passed. And ninja girl is perfect for him - like YH she is unconventional and willing to break societal dictates, strong-willed, etc but she also has a lawless streak like JS.

Re: In Soo and Chosun. I thought it was perfect too. Whatever his other faults, he truly and selflessly loves her and that sort of love is something Chosun really seems to crave (probably because of her exploited position). Hopefully they will work it out - I think they will - Chosun fell for YH because she was considerate and willing to protect her so IS' actions should be right up her alley.

Drama managed to make me ship In Soo/Cho Sun right at the end! Before, I just enjoyed In Soo's manpain because Cho Sun didn't give a flying bean about his existence, LOL. But protecting her from certain death = HOT and totally redeeming.

I'm so glad they gave Jae Shin a solid happy ending! A few people weren't happy that they didn't go with the bittersweet "youth/societal growth is painful!" route, but eh, I'm all for the gooey happiness. Nothing pisses me off more than a drama going dowm the drain at the end just to smack home a meaningful message, and I'm SO HAPPY they didn't do it here.

Mmmmmm, yes. Plus, it ended up being pretty good for him - she actually looks like she might give him a chance now. I am mad curious about Ha household after that little incident - Hyo Eun is off in the corner crying about SJ, Minister is probably not sure what to freak out about/whom to curse first, and In Soo - what? I can't imagine any future interaction between him and Daddy ever. Minister is just lucky Chosun didn't (yet) mention to IS about Minister sex-blackmailing her.

I loved that the drama ended up happy. I am all for heavy angsty endings when appropriate - Damo = angstfest fits, SKKS, a lighthearted story about growing up, crossdressing and coedsleeping = no way.

It actually makes me kind of wibbly that In Soo (maybe) finds his happiness and can stop glaring at people until his eyes look red and bloodshot. I don't see where Chosun can find a better option, actually; YS turned out to be a girl so it's either marry into a rich family with a husband that loves you to distraction, or continue the life of a gisaeng until you're old and ugly

until his eyes look red and bloodshot

Bwahahahahahha. I kept wondering if the actor was somehow getting less sleep then the rest of the cast or whether the rest of them had better access to eye drops (I am still amazed Yoochun didn't look like a zombie by the end).

And if she is a gisaeng, doesn't she have to sleep with a bunch of men she has no interest in and is awfully vulnerable to powerful sleazoids like the Minister who can blackmail her into sex or even damage her and she can't do anything about it? If she is married to IS (who is certainly crazy enough about her to marry her, her gisaeng status notwithstanding), she will certainly be much better off - not only does he adore her, he can protect her.* And I think after this incident in ep 20, she can finally allow herself to believe both of

i totally second a Jae Shin and Chosun spin-off. there wasn't enough of either! and you are no longer alone in your Chosun/In Soo ship. at least, only quite recently i jumped on that. it's nice to see In Soo doing something decent for a change. and words will never be able to describe my love for Moon Jae Shin. his awesomeness just kept on growing in the last 3 episodes, and i'm so happy he's got his little blue messenger. i about died when he showed her her corrected blue letter. it was like Seung Jo from PK, except totally irresistible and awesome and not a jackass. lol, and his hiccups never disappear! lol, okay, i shall stop my Jae Shin squelling... now (at least, here on your post anyway =P)

[dangermousie]

MJS is awesome awesome awesome. You can rave about him all you want. My most fave 'other guy' ever. And I totally thought about BSJ with the letter only, agree, it wasn't mean but pure wonderful. I want a drama about him and blue messenger girl SO BADLY.
