SW has that adorable cute guy who looks like Korean Orlando Bloom so I am predisposed to like it already.
Re: Loveholic. It's good half an ep in. I'd hold off it (if you are looking for my rec, that is) until I am further in. A number of kdramas die in the middle, after all.
MatsuJun IS insanely skinny here, isn't he? That was actually the thing about him that I noticed the most throughout. The pet stuff never actually bothered me...I think mostly because most of it seems to be coming from him(because hey, he's being pampered by a hot older woman...), with her doing it because it makes her feel needed.
I think, though, that what kept me from really loving it was the way it said that the man is weak and the woman is strong, or the man is strong and the woman is weak, but there's no middle ground...though there's stuff later with the therapist that turns that on its head a bit, and in the end, they basically say that the most important thing is what makes you happy.
She is a sucky owner: she clearly didn't feed him :)
Yeah, I like the relationship of equals stuff. they don't have to be equally brainy or what not, but I have to get the sense that they aren't owner/pet.
The guy in the drama is Kang Ta. He is (apparently) a popular singer but I've never heard any of his stuff.
The lyrics for "Scandal" actually left me feeling slightly scandalised. That's saying something, for asian pop. Vanness's lyrics are sooooooo dirty sometimes.
Kimi wa Petto is definitely one of those shows that is better if you don't think about it too much. They do eventually deal with the issue of him not actually being a pet, but not for a while, and there's still the problem of power dynamics and gender issues and everything. But MatsuJun is irrestistibly cute in it, and they pull off some weird stuff in a surprisingly believable way, so I forgive them a lot.
A while ago I saw the first half of the first ep of a show I saw at (I think) your pimpage. Not entirely sure, but you're the person on my flist to ask... Starts out where there's this girl who tries to give a note to her crush, but accidentally gives it to some bully guy w/ a pompadour and a leather jacket... and he uses it to blackmail her...
any idea of the title or where I could track down eps?

Who's the guy in that kdrama? He looks familiar.
