I haven't watched Dollouse yet. Boo. Will hulu it. Isn't Jamie Bamber supposed to be on it? YAY!

In other news, I am sure you've seen my drama slump lately. I am, however, out of it - no airing drama rescued me but I restarted my interrupted watch of Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk's Robbers yesterday after it having been nowhere near my laptop or dvd player for months (I liked what I saw earlier but got sidetracked). I am now through ep 8 and I love it to bits. While the story itself is well-done, that is not what really makes me rabid - LDH as an unworldly, sweet widow with a small child and Jang Hyuk as a gigolo-conman who desperately wants to be a new person are the real obsession grounds for me. They both act very well but also - their chemistry is ridiculous. The scene where he was whispering into her ear in ep 7 (??I think it was 7) - I thought I was going to combust. And then the kiss he pulls her into. AHHHOMG.

When is Chuno coming out argh now want it now. Though even if Jang Hyuk and LDH won't end together in Chuno, I won't carp because I still can't believe Robbers gave us a happy(ish) ending.

And Da Hae's drama daughter is so adorable!

Speaking of Chuno, a poster for it is out:







I cannot wait.

In having its protagonists be people at the margins of society, it's making me think of Damo and even Hong Gil Dong - and I loved Damo and HGD with ridiculous love.

Robbers was adorable. I thought it was flawed but lovely. It's nowhere near one of my favorite dramas, but I marathoned it obsessively and it certainly had scads of delicious romance and OTP moments.

Thank you!

Yes, it's not going on my ultimate faves list, but it's certainly shaping into a drama I really really like.

I was just looking over my posts meself and episode 7 was HANDS DOWN my favorite of the drama.

Mine was ep 9-10.

That poster came from the KBS official blog & an insider @DCgall, and I have to say, on reading their posts... It may be the difference with in-house production or the respect/pride PD Kwak commands at KBS (I'm sure Mr X knows far more about this), but it's almost disconcerting to see how invested 'they' (the production division, or whichever interested parties @KBS) are in the success of Chuno. Not so much the ratings aspect (though of course they care about that too), but at this stage, producing not just a good drama but an excellent, high-quality, export-worthy, jewel of KBS drama. It was rather striking b/c that emotional investment element, 'we believe in this drama' just wasn't quite there with the other postings on their line-up.

That's really interesting (and good) to know.

If it helps, I haven't seen Dollhouse yet, either. Tim Minear coming on board in effectively the same position as he had in Firefly makes me hopeful for the season.

I hope it will be at least decent.

OMG The poster is Gorgeous :o. The light, the bright colours, the way the title is written and the shadows... freakin amazing *gasp*.

Definitely seeing Chuno too. It looks really promising. When does it start?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It starts in January. I hope (they have been also talking about March. Noooo!

Whaaaaaa! The poster looks amazing!

The whispering scene in ep 7 is one of my favourite drama moments ever in how magnetic it is. It's so simple and the chemistry and their eyes make it so beautiful.

It was just so intimate.
