Damo, ep. 01-02

shewhohashope pimped this as "like CSI: 16/17th Century Korea, mixed with some elements of wuxia, Sherlock Holmes-style deduction, a 'cop goes undercover' storyline, and possibly a star-crossed romance or two to come."

Then she went and posted a lot of pretty screencaps of the first episode ( Read more... )

rodl. "Stoic" indeed. The flashbacks of incredible cuteness were what sold me on the show, honestly. I mean, that little girl has to be the absolute cutest thing ever. And the guy who plays young Yoon also plays the younger version of the lead in Emperor of the Sea. I long for him to grow up a little more so he can start playing the lead in these shows already)

Damo is actually probably what sent me off into wuxias and period dramas.

BTW, curly haired rebel leader is Jang Sung-Baek.

OMG! The flashbacks! So cute! So cute! Especially the little girl!

I am now very tempted to go through all the wuxia you have been watching too. Any particular recs? I haven't seen many wuxia movies at all, but I really miss the cdrama ones.

Me too! Though I continue to hope that the requisite romance will be between Chae-Ohk and Yoon. My sister was worrying: "But he's the nice guy! The nice guy in dramas never get the girl!"

I am so tempted to get the DVDs! Especially because the scenery is so gorgeous.

Chae-Ohk and Yoon are very, very much the otp.

Next time we hang out you totally have to bring this over. I've been craving some period piece goodness, but don't have the money or any idea of what to get into next. The last one I got into was Tsui Hark's The Seven Swordsmen of Mt. Tian, which irked me for the complete uselessness of the female character in it.
