What can be sexier than loving a eunuch? It's built-in birth control

[dangermousie]

Netflix has just sent me the first disc of The King and I, a Korean period drama where the heroine's OTP is, indeed, a eunuch. Only in a kdrama...

What will they think of next?

Searching for youtube vids brought to my attention the horrifying fact that this stars Gu Hye Sun, my least favorite Korean actress ever. Good Lord. Well, that's what I get for not checking. But then, period dramas are about the best bet for drama actors to show capability so maybe she will be tolerable in this? We shall see. Gu Hye Sun, you are on your last chance!

MV in question:

ETA: And OMG, the eunuch is the singularly unattractive lead of Vinyard Man drama.

My my, what an unfortunate cast. It was nice of them to bundle an actress I dislike with an actor I do not care for in the least. Pity I did not realize it sooner.

Maybe TK&I will convert me to love of both of them? I live in hope.

Oh Man Seok is honestly one of the best k-actors so hopefully your opinion of him will change and you'll watch Vineyard Man which is a really cute drama.
And Gu Hye Sun won some sort of an award for (good) acting and critical acclaim for this role iirc. I hope this drama changes your opinion of them :)

I hope so too - I don't like disliking actors.

Oh Man Seok really grows on you. In Vineyard Man he was such a wonderful character that you totally didn't see the unattractiveness anymore - he was too cute, instead.

We shall see if it works for me here :)

Ohhh, but Oh Man Seok is a really wonderful actor. I watched Vineyard Man and thought he was really unattractive too... but you love him by the end!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Hope so!

*smug* I wanted to comment on the wonderful take-you-by-surprise appeal of Oh Man Suk but I see the other commenters have already done it for me. Bow to the inevitable, Mousie!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOLOL.

We shall see.

I confess my first thought was "well, at least they didn't castrate anyone I'd miss.

Does your DVD have English subs?

After The Vineyard Man I wanted to check out everything with OMS but I couldn't find subs. ):

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I won't watch without subs (well, I might some things, but not a 60+ eps period drama).

YA did dvds - I got it from netflix

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

*horribly tempted*

But... GHS...

Let me know if it's any good?

[cranberrysheep.livejournal.com]

He really doesn't have much out there that I was that interested in (plus, he does a lot of stage stuff, I think?). I tried to watch Hyena and haaaaaaaated it.

Now I totally want to put The King and I on my netflix queue! ...not that it isn't long enough already.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Be warned this is very looooooooooong.

[main-hoon-emily.livejournal.com]

Funny, I came to tell you the same thing about Oh Man Seok that everyone else has. I know he's not model-gorgeous but he really does grow on you and become completely adorable!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee. I will check him out.

[village.livejournal.com]

You're going to watch a Historical 60+ ep Kdrama? Whut? Heh. Just by the MV alone this drama looks incredibly depressing. Good luck. ;) And I agree with the others, OMS totally grows on you during Vineyard Man.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL - I can ff and see how it goes. If I complete, it will be the longest drama I have ever finished.

[clairiere.livejournal.com]

All I recall re: TK&I was the bad press after the transition to the adult cast... not that I'm prejudicing you...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee - I am prejudiced plenty already :)
