Why did no one inform me of agonies of uncanonical shipping?

[dangermousie]

Frell it.

FRELL IT.

I give up.

I tried so hard to stay a good little canon shipper in Fashion 70s. I have never uncanon shipped in my entire life with the exception of Korean Boys Over Flowers, and there it was mainly because I loathed the male lead. Here I don't have that excuse - I love heroine's OTP. I totally get why she loves him blah blah blah.

But I don't frelling care.

I am shipping her with Bin so rabidly that I think I might need some innoculation.

I cannot help it.

I tried. No way. I ship them so hard. So hard. Harder than I have ever shipped most canon couples in Korean dramas. I mean, it's Mars level shipping. Legend level shipping. Hanadan level shipping. I want them together more than I want to be able to eat ice cream every day.

This scene, in the police station, where he begs the detective to let Duhmi go and says he will confess to anything, any unsolved crimes they have left open - murder, robbery, even espionage, if they let her go!



And is so scarily convicted, he convinces the cops! And then tells her not to come see him in prison ever and hugs her with handcuffs on and says it's enough for him.




Woman, are you INSANE???????

Seriously.



I cannot stand it.

I might give up on this drama because it's driving me insane.

See, this uncanonical ship was one of the main reasons I stopped this drama. I shipped these two like nobodies business, but the longer it went on the more I knew it wasn't going to happen. That made me more upset than anything else, so I stopped. How can Duhmi not love him? Seriously, I fell a little in love with him during that scene.

This is why I'm rather glad I'm not a shipper. They can basically pair 'em up any which way they want. I'm ok as long as it all makes sense in the end.

what episode was this? I have got to rewatch.

oh, by the way, I have started "The Devil."

I am going to miss Joo Ji hoon so much.

You have got the non-canonical shipping bug now. :D

I got one when I watched Hong Gil Dong and can never get rid of it ever since!

That guy is hot.Sorry, that's all I have to say :)

I'd love to tell you that uncanonical shipping gets easier with practice but it really doesn't.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. I hope not.

It's usually not a problem for me in dramas because I usually like the hero/heroine the most so I want him/her to end up with whoever they want, and my feelings for secondaries are usually indifference.

But here they have 4 main characters and it's driving me nuts :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, yes he is :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I hope it's an abberation for me - too stressful :_)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ep 14 and beginning of 15.

I hope you like Devil - so good!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I think with me here it's that I have such rabid love for Bin that I want him to get what he wants (and I also think he and Duhmi are more fun together than her and DY)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Seriously - I understand she liked DY but he left with no word. And I really really wish DY was the heartless city slicker Bin thinks he was because I want Bin/Duhmi. Grrrrr. That's the danger of having 4 main characters, I might fall for the wrong one.

oh NOES. I am totally not going to be able to watch this drama now - non-cannon shipping is my worst nightmare, KHanadan still torments my dreams. And there's no way I wouldn't be with you on this - I mean all of that would get me even if the guy wasn't hot. But he is!! What is that girl thinking:(

also, could I have the Legend summary you offered, pretty please? :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Lots of people like heroine of F70 with the lead - I do too, I just prefer her with secondary guy.

Legend summary. Hmmmm, that one is really complicated.

The story revolves around Dam Duk (Bae Yong Joon), who just might be the prophesied Jooshin King, destined to reunite various Korean lands into the mystical Kingdom of Jooshin with the help of equally mystical Four Guardians. Of course, currently he is a neglected Crown Prince of Gogureyo, son of a weak monarch, having to hide his strength and intelligence in order to survive, as the King's ambitious sister would like the crown for her son Ho Gae, a darling of the masses and one people actually believe to be the Jooshin King. There is also an evil Hwachun Tribe, which wants the King and his powers (especially four mystical symbols) for their own nefarious purposes, and two very different sisters, Kiha and Sujini, separated in childhood, and with their destinies closely intertwined with Dum Duk.

thank you so much! that's very helpful and if you get the emails from Dramafever, at some point you will probably see a plot summary very similar to this in one of them;)
