More Swallow the Sun glee...

[dangermousie]

Sung Yuri is looking pretty lovely in the bts from Swallow the Sun:



Seeing that she recently replaced Lee Da Hae as my favorite kdrama actress? SQUEE.

Regular trailer :

And here is a trailer of the backstory to StS' mains (presumably their parents or whatever).

Oh God, yes, please. I have such a weakness for dramas involving war (which is why I love period dramas from ancient ones like Legend to fairly modern ones like Seoul 1945, which is why I have been tracking Eyes of Dawn down like mad, which is why I loved Lobbyist, which is why I keep hoping that mercenary/war correspondent drama with Rain would get made, and am excited about the rumors of a war drama with Kwon Sang Woo).

Yes, I fear I am turning into a one-woman StS pushing machine, but I figure the other biggies of the year also anticipated by me, IRIS and Triple, don't need any extra pushing, seeing the way my flist goes. :)

(I am also excited about Friend and that upcoming drama with Kim Bum (YESSSS) as the lead, but there aren't any promos for them yet).

This is turning out a great year for kdramas which is only fair as 2008 sucked. We had Hong Gil Dong in the very beginning and Kingdom of the Winds at the very end, but other than that? Bleeeeeh.

ETA (and not relevant to anything above). I lied in my previous post. There IS one fashion drama I want to watch Fashion 70s. But that is because it involves war, betrayal, doomed love, and cool men and women.

OH...I have seen some episodes of Fashion 70s when it aired here and it looked really good.

@ SYR: She's looking mighty fine with the added weight.

This is turning out a great year for kdramas

TRUE! :D

SYR looks really awesome. I think she also might be my fave kdrama gal.

[bae-mac.livejournal.com]

She doesn't look her age at all! I so envy her.. :)

I think she also might be my fave kdrama gal.

I will have a hard time picking up my fave kdrama girl I'd have to choose among Lee Dae Hee, Han Hye Jin, Song Hye Kyo, SYR... and the list goes on.

:D

Oooh I have Fashion 70's on my list. I've got to watch that soon, but I think I want something super super super angsty first.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I think F70 has plenty of angst, not sure about super angst. Have you watched something happened in bali? (I;ve remembered it because I've been pushing it on darkeyedwolf).

[mishane.livejournal.com]

Oooh, is the OTP doomed? I want something where the OTP is dooooommmmeeedddd (like MISA or ALTK).

I just wanna cry dammit. Sometimes you're just in the crying mood.

(That said, have you heard of the kdrama 90 Days Falling In Love? It has Kang Ji Hwan and Kim Ha Neul? I heard it wasn't amazing but KJH and KHN play cousins who fall in love with each other, yes incest, and KJH only has 90 days to live so . . . . yeah super angst in that one. I think it's subbed but it's very very hard to find)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

In Bali, they are very very dooooooomed. Super dooooooooomed (is that enough ooooo)? It's a rocks fall everybody dies kind of ending.

I have 90days but have never been brave enough to watch it

[mishane.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, then I might watch it!

As for 90 days, where did you find it?!!? I went crazy trying to find it. It's exactly what I'm looking for, forbidden love, someone's going to die, adultery. I need!

I bought burned discs from someone. If you want I'll give you their contact info.

Do none of the comms (jdramas, asian-dramas etc) have it?

[mishane.livejournal.com]

The only place I found it was on d-addicts and only in torrent form. I haven't had the time to figure out the whole torrent thing and my home computer is busted.

If it's good quality and good subs, I don't mind paying for it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It looked good.

I got it from http://geocities.com/kuen_113/koreandrama.html

I second the love for dramas that involve war ;)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It just adds something more interesting than just same old same old romances.
