Everything under the Sun. Tropical sun.

Yes, still at the beach. I love the dry air and the giant cacti and the winding hilly roads with goats lazily wandering across and a myriad of birds flying overhead. And the brightly painted houses with thick slanting walls, and the blueness of the ocean from the cliff, and the cloudy sunsets

Re: SQ spoiler: I had a very strong suspicion it would turn out to be like that. Can't wait for the angsting that the news will bring *g*. Poor Tae-Woong, he really is made to suffer a lot in this dorama.

Now I'm more tempted than ever to check out the unsubbed version (I have made a youtube playlist of all the available unsubbed eps for the day I finally can't wait any more for the subs to appear :)).

[dangermousie]

yeah, poor guy. He must have been an ax murderer in the past life, or similar. Seriously, I really wish for a HEA though I know it won't happen.

I'm watching ISWAK episode 4 & needed to squee a bit. It's getting better & better. Eee, he protected her from perverts in the bus! & Now his mother conspired to have the two share the house alone!

By the way, I'm slightly confused about Zhi Shu's family.. Why does his mother call him "big brother"?

[meganbmoore]

I think it's a cultural thing, referring to the siblings as "older" and "younger"

[fivil]

By the parents, that is? Good to know!

[meganbmoore]

Actually, I think it's more anytime you refer to the siblings of the family(unless one is the head of the family) traditionally.

It's similar to the kung fu shows, books, dramas, etc. If they're talking to each other, or there's more than one in the room and they're being spoken to, it's first, second, third, etc. brother.

Also I've noticed that most siblings in Taiwanese, Korean, and TVB dramas each share a part of the name, so it can also just help differentiate so there's no confusion about who's being spoken to.

I knew she would turn out to be the best friend's sister, only from years of watching doramas and the scene where the best friend asks Tae Woong if he'd like to be introduced to a great girl. Obviously someone who has a domineering father and studies all day would only know great girls who are their little sisters :P

What? Attempted rape?? I didn't watch the clips because they're too long, but is it by that crazy dorm monitor guy? He's so sketchy but I didn't think he'd be a villain...

ROFL.

Re: Hana Kimi. No, not the dorm monitor (who is awesome, IMO). They are working during the summer and it's one of those 'appearing in one ep only' kinda characters who works there. But on the plus side, there is Rui Xi holding on to quan and sobbing into him, and his hugging her and stroking her hair, and piggy-back carrying :)

[calixa]

Oohhhh, good! I like the slutty dorm monitor, and awww to the hugging and carrying! :D

Mugen is one of those weird characters whom I don't like, but who intrigues me, especially when you find out his back story. And I love Jin. He's generally so sincerely unflappable (he didn't seem to think twice about cross dressing) in the face of his really weird companions. And Jin has some streaks of weird to him too, you find out, which makes it more understandable that he fits in with the group of misfits (same theme that Cowboy Bebop had). It's understandable that Fuu develops a crush of sorts on him.

[dangermousie]

That is how I feel about Mugen as well.

But yeah, definitely yeah on Jin.
