Which drama couple needs a steamy make-out the most? Or "Dangermousie is shallow" day

[dangermousie]

Now, we all know most dramas are absurdly chaste - the leads kiss as if they were afraid of catching swine flue or were about to enter a monastery.

Some dramas do better, however, and have nice kissing scenes or even *gasp* a hint of that mysterious 'sex' business. Shocking!

But here is my very shallow, ridiculous and "dangermousie is bored" question to you:

if you could pick only one drama couple to have an r-rated steamy type love-making scene, which would you pick and why? Any reason from "they look hot together" to "it is necessary to the plot" is acceptable.

Share.

I vote for Worlds Within due to my mad love of the protagonists and their insane chemistry and the hot kissing scenes and the fact that the less clothed Hyun Bin is the happier I am but that is faintly voyeuristic as the leads are dating now in rl.

Either Arthur/Gwen from Merlin or Booth/Bones from Bones.

Booth/Bones has been building forever and with Booth finally getting a clue, we might actually be closer to something happening with them. I mean how can you not love Booth? They have to get a steamy scene eventually or the whole fan base will explode.

Arthur/Gwen never will because they're on a family show, but the prattish, occasionally snotty alpha male is so serious and gentle when he's around Gwen you can't help writing some steamy fluff.

ooh YES Booth/Bones:( speaking of which have you seen the season premiere yet?? I JUST missed it:(

but neither of those really counts cause they're not from a drama;)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I only watched a bit of Bones but yes, I'd love to see a make-out scene

Kurosaki/Tsurara from Kurosagi. Just think of the UST! Though I'd be happy with even a proper kiss.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh - I think the screen might have exploded if they made out.

[issy-chan.livejournal.com]

you should see Love & Eros then. it's has enough that won't leave you wanting more from other characters ;-)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee. I want to but the vids I found are such awful quality.

[issy-chan.livejournal.com]

YES, unfprtunately you can't find any decent quality of this drama. me and my friend searched in vain with no luck and we were prepared to pay whatever cost just to get hold of it. still, with its bad quality, it is one tomoya drama you should not miss!

Replace Worlds Within with Last Scandal, and you have my own "mad love of the protagonists and their insane chemistry," and my choice for the "drama couple to have an r-rated steamy type love-making scene."

All the PTB would have to do is extend the kissing scene on their wedding night, which they can b/c they've got the footage. Both Jung Jun Ho & Choi Jin Shil confirmed what they filmed was far racier than what was broadcast (which made the DC gallery want to raid MBC's editing rooms), but chances of that ever happening or the dailies ever surfacing are nil, now that S2 is kaput & it's just all too raw for the cast & crew to ever want to revisit S1. But the sneak peeks we got of the BTS footage, where it's plain obvious they had so much fun working together, even when the schedule was such they were filming practically live towards the end (they shot the wedding scene the night before broadcast while the prev. ep. was airing, then spent the wee hours in the studio for the bedroom scenes) do make me yearn for the what-if's & what we might have got out of a S2.

Funnily, I almost put down Last Scandal before deciding on WW - they really did have crazy, crackling chemistry. When I think of how close we came to a second season only for it not to happen, I feel like breaking something (I feel awful for CJS death in general but on a purely selfish "fan" level, I go crazy because of no LS2).

[clairiere.livejournal.com]

Knowing how much you adore Ji Oh & Joon Young, I'm flattered(?) JB & SH could even come close to rivaling them in your appreciation.

When I think of how close we came to a second season only for it not to happen, I feel like breaking something (I feel awful for CJS death in general but on a purely selfish "fan" level, I go crazy because of no LS2).

For CJS's fans, I don't think it's selfish to feel bereft b/c of the lost opportunities with her work & her career. And LS wasn't just a run of the mill project for her (or JJH, Jung Woong In, the director & the writer). That 2nd season wasn't handed to them on a silver platter, but a rare chance they earned by the sheer force & quality of their work. (They also earned a weekday line-up, on Wed & Thurs, vs. the weekend broadcast for S1, which indicates the network's recognition of LS's 'trendier' popularity beyond the family/ajumma viewership.)

And it's both uplifting & heartbreaking to go over all the BTS stuff & realize how much this drama, this team meant to CJS. (And vice versa.) After S1, she was asked on a talk show whether she had any fears or pressure about replicating the success in S2, and she gave such an unequivocal answer in that soft-spoken but firm 'SunHee way': "Nope. Because I have complete faith in our team. With [JJH & Jung Woong In], this director & this writer, not only do I believe we can find success, I believe we can produce an even better drama." And while she had her shares of missteps & failures in her career, she's also one of the most successful in TV history, a trendsetter, thanks to her uncanny instincts for choosing the right projects & for identifying what appealed or might appeal to viewers. (She starred in 3 dramas which averaged 40+% in the ratings, 4 over 30%, and while the pilot ep. of LS was the first time a drama of hers scored just under 10%, they saw consistent gains & doubled the viewership by ep. 10.) When CJS says she has faith, execs pay attention.

For me personally, it feels odd to be just 2 weeks away from the anniversary of her death & recall that's how I came to hear of LS first. (I wasn't following K-entertainment news at all last year.) Having never associated CJS & JJH (she was a TV actress, he a movie actor), the very idea of their partnership and that it'd been a success piqued my curiosity. Even more so when I saw pictures of JJH at her funeral. He'd looked grim at her wake, but I was surprised he was among those who came to see off her funeral cortege on the last morning (which is a more personal gesture and usually limited to family & close friends). There was such a look of sorrow on his face, as if it was really sinking in, that the image really stayed with me & made me wonder what it was about working with CJS on LS that made the loss so personal for him.

On a side note (re: your icon), she loved, LOVED the divorce cake scene. She loved that the writer could inject such humor & heart into what's often a stigma for women in Korea. And she loved the symbolism, the affirmation that it could be a new chapter, a new beginning, not an end.

She loved LS so much, after My Rosy Life, for making her laugh & smile, for giving her a sunny character, and a chance to love & be loved unconditionally. She loved Lee Eun Mi's I Have a Lover from LS's OST, and would play it constantly on the set. (And it's what they played at her last service.) The first time I watched LS, it was just so surreal, she was so alive on the screen, I'd be laughing & smiling & crying with SH, then welling up over some of the scenes that just overlapped too much (eg. when she tells Jimin she can't even die b/c of her). But if we can't do anything about her death, I think that's how she would wish to be remembered. Not the rumormongering, the scandals. But an actress who gave her everything on the screen.

That was such a wonderful write-up - it was such a pleasure to read. Thank you.

Yes, the first I've heard of LS was when I read about her death - it said that was her last drama etc. I stayed away from it for a long time because from the synopsis it seemed just like Full House with older people, and while FH was my first kdrama and thus will always have a special place in my heart, with time and distance I had a lot of problems with it and didn't want another version like that. Little did I know...

Halu and Aki from Pride.

*nods head*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh YES.

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

hmm-Vic Zhou and Barbie Hsu-but we already got that:) lacking that, the only other one that springs to mind is Partner - both such GORGEOUS people and I want to see them madly in love and making out and ETC because I got nothin' in the ending:( *drools at the mere thought*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Question about Partner - what happened to secondary couple?

[ladysaotome.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I think I'd love to see Jiro & Rainie from ToGetHer - although without him grabbing that mop on her head - it really distracts me in that final hug at the end.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

That hair was horrific!

[ladysaotome.livejournal.com]

What bugged me the most is - if you watch closely throughout the drama, it'd go through scenes where it really wasn't that bad. And then 2 seconds later it was huge again.

[bae-mac.livejournal.com]

That would have to be Damdeuk and Sujini. I would have loved to see them going at it in the dirt in that scene where DD finally finds Sujini after years of searching for her.

And the Dong Chul and Guk Ja,too! It's unfair that Song Seung Hun got all that ass and we don't even get to see it hump! LOL! hahahaha!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mmmm- all that repressed DD/Sujini tension.

Dong Chul and Gukja did have a make-out scene but sadly it was of a kdrama standard.
