Done with Spring Waltz and desperately seeking more icy woobie dramas...

[dangermousie]

Finished Spring Waltz. What will I fixate on now?

I adored the first 18 and a half eps and loved the sweet ending, but the ep or so in-between I was meh about. It got too kdramaish not in an excellent way.

Still, the OTP was awesome, the design gorgeous etc etc etc...It's definitely going on my favorites list.



* The reunion on the island and their night together and playing in the ocean lovelovelovelovelove.

* I totally loathed his adoptive parents. WTF - when they tell his birth dad that the secret being out would harm Jae Ha so he has to conceal it. Sorry, it won't harm Jae Ha, they will just harm evil parents. Or when Daddy Evilest is all "it's your fault, you disappointed us" to Jae Ha. WTF? Did nobody point out to him they were the one who engaged in illegal, evil acts? Jae Ha didn't do a thing wrong. And then at the end we were supposed to buy them being happy and OK - nope. Want them to be eaten by bears.

* Too much forgiveness going around overall. Nope, still not buying Secondary Girl was not insane. Hell, it was her fault Jae Ha injured himself and can't play. Also, Phillip's comment about Jae Ha forgiving birth Daddy (i.e. he should, it's a good thing). BLEH.

* The bit where he was injured and yet insisted on playing with blood dripping on keys? I ate it up like emo candy.

* Why did Jae Ha not want Eun Young to know about his injury or went away for her sake? Huh? Was he worried she'd feel guilty? That was sort of a logic lapse. Oh well, he was a total mess by that point, I forgive him.

* GUH REUNION IN AUSTRIA ON BRIDGE SCARF SMILE RUNNING HUGGING DEAD AM DEAD AM DEAD

* I love that they ended up living on that island she is from, blissfully happy in their adorable house, cooking together, with his kid brother, and him teaching and just adorableness. Oddly, I don't think it was a tragedy that he can't be a professional pianist any more - he was excellent at it and I think on some level liked it, but not only can he still write music, it was forced on him and so tangled with his identity issues.

Now I need another icy woobie/spunky girl romance. Someone recommend? PLEASE?

Hmmm, maybe I'll just rewatch that ultimate bad boy/good gal kdrama All In. I mean, he is an ex-convict and she is an ex-nun. Mmmm, I love this MV:

I never really metaed about it properly because I gulped it down in 3 days on the way to Italy and at jet-lagged nights. But suffice it to say I love it and not just because of the insane leading couple chemistry.

Hmmm. I think I will rewatch. Or at least cap the sex scene :D

I never could get through Snow Queen either. I wouldn't call it an angsty bastard/plucky heroine love story, however- I'd call it an icy bitch-queen/angsty plucky hero story. I just could never quite emotionally warm up to the female lead :)

Awww, I really adored the heroine - normally I wouldn't but for some reason her loneliness and insecurities just pinged for me. Maybe it's because I love Sung Yuri a lot?

probably. I suspect that this is one of those cases where it's really the actress I don't like and not the character she plays. My brother LOVED it - you and he have eerily similar tastes;)
