I confess, I don't entirely watch East of Eden for its take on socioeconomic disparity...

Mmmmm.



No wonder the rich girl was ogling him in a different scene (behind the cut). Slumming never looked so good.

Also, LOL, I have been in fandom for too long. I was imagining what slashers would make of this:











Grown up son of bad guy:





Grown up DW:



Mom:





Dong Chul's former friend who is now mad at him. But still hot.





Poor bruised DW, you will never be as hot as your older brother:



Their younger sis. I am shipping her with Dennis OH just because she needs a rich husband to spoil her because she is adorable.







OTP! Station Master's granddaughter and DW.





No comment.





This scene was made of awesome:



























This one was cool too.















You know what shocks me? Unlike Dennis Oh, who is gorgeous but can't really act much, Song Seung Heon, the lead, is incredibly gorgeous and can really act. OMG.

Be honest, tell us why you're really watching...

Actually, I find likability and/or the ability to act more attractive than looks. Mostly, I think, but "blindingly gorgeous" kind of has a limited ability to hold the attention, while skill or likability can make up for not being quite as pretty.

Thankfully, of my 3 favorite kdrama actors, 2 have all 3 in spades, and the other has at least 2.

I like learning about how Korean construction operated in the 1970s.

Thankfully, of my 3 favorite kdrama actors, 2 have all 3 in spades, and the other has at least 2.

Who are the 3?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Lee Seo Jin, Song Il Gook, Oh Ji Ho (cheating a bit, as I've only seen him in one thing, but...)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen OJH in anything but I love the other two :)

Male lead of Fantasy Couple and Get Karl! (which I haven't seen yet.) Pretty, likable, good comedic timing and delivery, good but not amazing acting.

THAT GUY. THE "OKAY?" GUY FROM WITCH YOO HEE. I WANT TO TAKE A CLUB TO HIS FACE.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL. Why? (I never got very far into WYH).

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

I haaaated his character. So smug and superior with no good reason. His face looks like an aborted potato head.

Where's Lee Da Hae? Is she in this?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

She is, but she is not in the eps I've seen so far.

This is off-topic, but did you see Javabeans is looking for someone to recap Kingdom of the Winds on Dramabeans? I like your writing style and I think you'd be good at it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! But I think she is looking for a Korean speaker, not someone who has to wait for the subs to be out, alas :)

[phatgirly.livejournal.com]

Until you mentioned that I thought Sevenses was recapping Beethoven Virus off of subs. Whoops.

Now I'm curious about the demographics over at Dramabeans... I wonder how many of her readers would mind waiting a few weeks for subs to come out. I think I will go ask. (I comment under the name Gigi, in case you wonder.)
