If you're gay you walk around giving butt bumps to everyone. It's like a high five, only a low two.

sodahands, scanky_chops, you have to watch Cinderella Unni! It's basically a grittier version of Massugu na Otoko, with a rebellious girl and a sweet guy and tons of chemistry. I'm not completely sold yet (whenever it has a screechy Korean melodrama moment I can't help but think of Massugu's more subtle approach to the heroine's problems, plus it doesn't have SATO

Dong-yi doesn't end in tears! HISTORY SAID SO. Scroll down to where it says 'Choi sookbin'. She survived and everything! (And her son ruled Korea! Granted he was sensitive about the whole half-slave thing, but the point is, there are no dramatic blossoms of blood across your screen as you weep about the 50+ hours you spent watching pretty people angst.) (Err, the first 4 eps are pretty brutal, though. I can't even begin to recap ep3 without weeping in anticipation.)

And lol, Cinderella Unni prompted me into writing femslash based almost entirely on my ridic hate for Seo Woo's face.

How are you finding the trendy/fluff dramas? (Oh My Lady, Personal Taste, Prosecutor Princess, etc.)

[darkeyedwolf]

You hate Seo Woo? YOU'RE FIRED.

Err, the first 4 eps are pretty brutal, though. I can't even begin to recap ep3 without weeping in anticipation.

OH JESUS WHY DID YOU TELL ME THIS NOW I WANT IT EVEN MORE AM TREMBLING IN ANTICIPATION.

I haven't seen anything yet but Dong Yi and Cinderella Unni. Have you? What's the verdict?

[hollyxu]

BUT HER FACE IS SO ABNORMAL, DON'T MAKE ME WATCH HERRRR I CAN'T DO EEEEET. (Really, I have nothing against her, it's just her face.)

There's this one scene where she's begging Ki-hoon to do something, and it's supposed to be cute and scrunchy like teenaged girl's puppy face but her face doesn't move in the same way Nicole Kidman's is frozen into immobility. *shudder*

Dong-yi does the classic kdrama sageuk thing where the hero/heroine has to walk through a valley of angst and dead relatives before establishing themselves in a lifelong mission of finding out why. So, the bloodshed is expected? *passes you tissue in anticipation*

Quality-wise, DY and CU are the best. Personal Taste is cute, but it's too early to tell, nothing has happened just yet. Prosecutor and Oh My Lady lag a little in maturity but let's face it, I am not watching for the depth. Oh My Lady is the most fun, so I'll probably stick with this one and come back to the others.

[darkeyedwolf]

I... I WANT TO SAY YOU'RE BEING BLASPHEMOUS BUT I KINDA UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN. She was so impressive as the teenage runaway in Paju, it was weird and unsettling to see her playing CUTE! like every other kdrama actresses ever. I don't think her face was meant for it.

Dong Yi sounds like barrels of fun. Why am I not scared off? Oh right, because kdramas have conditioned to expect the worst. Have you heard about that weekend family drama where the PD decided at the last minute to KILL OFF THE OTP IN A CAR WRECK? Who does that??? Oh right, KOREA.

Prosecutor and Oh My Lady lag a little in maturity but let's face it, I am not watching for the depth.

THIS IS TRUE FOR ME AS WELL. I'm a little worried the concept behind Personal Taste will turn me off despite any cuteness, but I guess I won't know for sure until I try. Oh My Lady had a fun preview so I'm expecting awesome. ♥

Your icon means something new must be foot in Doctor Who.

*wrings hands anxiously* I am afraid to watch Eleven, I loved Ten so much D:

[darkeyedwolf]

flsdkfjaskldfjasklfdf I put off watching The End of Time II until yesterday.

He didn't want to go. ):

[fae_elric]

oh god I started tearing up just from reading that sdfka;ldskfj;a ;____;

[darkeyedwolf]

I thought it couldn't break my heart anymore and then that one line made me sob for like an hour.

[ohmiya_sg]

Ooh, that one guy from What's Up Fox! I need to watch the Cinderella one now. 8D

[darkeyedwolf]

Chun Jung Myung? He has such a pretty smile. *__*

[ohmiya_sg]

He's such a cute younger brother who's older than me. XD

[darkeyedwolf]

It's seriously his smile for me, I was like "eh, is this guy our romantic lead, I guess he's all right" but then there's a scene where he meets MGY and she's all snarly and surly but he just smiiiiiiles at her and my heart went THUMP. So cute. ♥

[darkeyedwolf]

I heard QSD got really draggy once they got their big 12-ep extension. :/ It's the only thing keeping me from watching it because there are SO MANY AMAZING ACTORS THERE.

I've never seen Dae Jang Geum, was it great?

[darkeyedwolf]

*wikis* Wait, it's all about the woman's success? And her OTP is Ji Jin Hee who's also leading Dong Yi?! Oh, you are a TERRIBLE TEMPTRESS.

[sol_tama]

You have Ring Ding Dong as a tag. And I thought you couldn't get any more awesome!

That drama looks really pretty indeed. But I can't focus on a 50-episode drama, it's too much for my attention span. D:

Oh hey, I finished Love Shuffle the other day and it was AMAZING. Ojiro/Kairi must be one of my favorite OTPs of all time, they were so perfect together. Plus the jokes! "What do we have under our pajamas?" "No pan da! *innocent smile*" *dead*
I just loved it, all of it. ♥

[darkeyedwolf]

I couldn't help it! The jokes make themselves!

I fully expect to come crying to my flist in a few months when I'm on ep 30 and wailing and gnashing my teeth and pulling out my hair because there's still almost half to go. I have nothing to blame but my own weakness.

Ojiro/Kairi must be one of my favorite OTPs of all time, they were so perfect together.

OMG OMG YES. ♥ Pandas! And dogs! And anklets! I can't even think about Kairi drowning in Ojiri's coat without smiling. And how awesome were Kei and Airu?!
