dangermousieI am madly in love with Fashion 70s soundtrack. I am also amused at the blatant, blatant fanservice - when they juxtposed Jang Bin drinking shirtless in his room and Dong Young doing shirtless pushups, I loled and loled and loled.
Dong Young! I know that when the President himself comes and begs you to go on a mission, guilt-tripping you about your dead Ma and telling you not to bring your girlfriend along because you might get killed, leaving her might seem like a good idea. But write a note, will ya? Also, Dong Young's latest job assignment is as some sort of deeply unofficial negotiator/infliltrator of North Koreans - he has a lovely promise that since it's all undercover and unofficial, he will have no immunity and the Govt won't bail him out. If I were Duh Mi, I'd want a boyfriend with a safer job. Maybe a bomb defusing expert? A drug smuggler? A professional "down Niagara in a barrel" traveler? On the plus side, he has pretty spy angst with a gun.
It's funny, I realized something - my natural preference is for serious dramas. They don't have to be tragic, but they have to be "serious". Light or comedic ones almost never work for me unless there is a wacky/quirky premise - a yakuza heiress becoming a teacher to a delinquent class, a girl masqueranding as a boy who has her employer fall for her without knowing of her gender etc etc. A normal light drama will never hook me.
Speaking of, once I finish Fashion 70s, I finally got my discs of Eyes of Dawn. Seeing that it's set in WW2 Korea, I foresee a barrel of laughs. Right.
