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 just watched/loved a drama with angsty icy woobie that I loved = Fly High.

It goes like this:
She:
is married into Korean impoverished aristocracy. She has a little child, a boy. Her husband is in coma after a car accident (7 years already). Just before the accident the husband intended to divorce (because of the other woman), but the wife doesn't know about this. The wife finds out that he had divorce papers ready. The husband dies (naturally).

He:
An icy woobie with bad maternal problems (was abandoned as a child).

I am not sure if this is your thing 100% - they both are about 30 years old and not at school. I think the man is yonger but this isn't the main point of the story, the story is more about maternal angst, forbidden love and all such things. The main guy is great as ICY WOOBIE. The other guy is the older brother from "Kongdom of the Wind" and he is great too. He gets a nice OTP at the end. The main lady is quite feisty (but sort of cinderella in her husband's family), it all starts with the main girl slapping the main guy. GOOD START.

LOL, I don't always or even usually need school stories. I don't mind those set in high school or college but most of the ones I like have people at least in their late 20s (only two kdrama I've seen has both protagonists in highschool/uni - Goong which I loved and BOF and you know I hated that one).

This does sound good even if I am not familiar with anyone in the cast. I'll check it out.

Also, since you are the only one on my flist I remember watched Lovers in Paris - is the lead guy in that one icy?

Very much so. :D Until he melts, that is. :D This one could be actually something you could like - OTP is very very strong. The drama lags at the end a bit but OTP is always great together.

"Fly High" is also very strong on OTP side. I need to post about this one. The only minus here are BAD subs.

Also - I remembered! "When it's at night" is fully out already! Yummmy kisses. "Loves in Paris" has good kisses too.

Ooooh. You have sold me on LiP. I will check out Fly High but after LiP. I adore the leading actress. Never watched PSY in anything but people like him so hopefully he is good (and he has glasses, eeee!)

I am excited for When it's at night!

I like PSY - he studied acting in Russia and I like this. :D

Oh, another advantage point of "Fly High" - they end up to be some kind of pseudo cousins. :D
