HOW SO PRETTY. Just...the angst...I don't know if I could handle it :(

darkeyedwolf November 5 2008, 21:02:58 UTC

It... well.. it won't rip your heart out. Stomp on it, yes, but most of it is Necessary Hero Angst.

Hands down, one of the best dramas ever. Manpain. ♥

darkeyedwolf November 5 2008, 21:28:02 UTC

Whenever I listen to the OST I'm flooded with memories of how awesome it was. ♥

koshifuri November 5 2008, 21:30:22 UTC

THE WHITE TEXT. IT INTERESTS ME.

Mostly, because that is fucking awesome.

Ignoring that the ENTIRE THING sound like a really bad soap opera.

...... HTML FAIL. Damnit.

EUN CHAE? SO FUCKING GREAT. Her first meeting with grown-up Iljimae is slapping him in the face!! ♥

(It's not a soap, it's a kdrama. Which basically means they're the same thing.)

koshifuri November 5 2008, 21:37:48 UTC

I. I can kinda see. A.. and may be a bit turned on by the idea. D:

(Well duh. .. I. I've taken to insulting soap's by comparing them to the cliche Kdrama. Oh my god, what has fandom done to me?!)

I am almost tempted to pick this up again (I felt it ran out of steam halfway through, pity...). Maybe one day, for the pretty. For the very pretty. Btw, does Shi Ho ever find out EC is not his sis? That's the closest I came to uncanonical shipping in my life. I just wanted them to hook up - with all the guilt and the panting that would entail. It was like a period version of Tree of Heaven. :P

Btw, have you checked out Hong Gil Dong, sort of Iljimae's oppa drama?

darkeyedwolf November 5 2008, 21:42:54 UTC

Spoilers: It's not acknowledged in the show, but he finds out about his real dad and relation to Yongee so it's a good guess he knows.

I tried it! But you promised me angst, and I only saw silly. :p

dangermousie November 5 2008, 22:24:49 UTC

It starts very very silly and then socks you with angst: heroine stabbing hero, evil father trying to kill hero, innocent old ladies dying, torture, big 'rocks fall everyone dies' ending, and the whole 'his father killed hers and her family wants him dead' thing.

big 'rocks fall everyone dies' ending

A bit of a warning, the first ep is ridiculous, but the second ep cures all cheese with a heavy dose of trauma. :D
