Daily update

1. Preview for ep 18 of IRIS:

I am getting really nervous - Hyun Joon seems to be suspecting Seung Hee - if she is a member of IRIS then I will positively die. NO, please please please.

2. I managed to watch more of Will It Snow for Christmas - so ridiculously good, and written in such a way that I can buy the childhood love foundation because (1) they were high-school age, so more likely to stick in mind and also interacted a lot; (2) both went on to be functional and not just fantasizing about the other every night; (3) most important - their relationship was literally life-changing for her, for spoilery reasons, so it would definitely stick in her memory and also - she's basically the one bright thing in a pretty soul-killing life, for him - no wonder he gloms.

Have a yummy yummy bit:







3. Apparently a new trailer for Slave Hunters/Chuno aired after IRIS which has Dae Gil/Hye Won bits - at last! (My shipping preferences for this drama change like the wind - if they show her with Tae Ha, I ship her with Tae Ha, if they show her with Dae Gil, I ship her with Dae Gil. Maybe they should all get together in one OT3 of angst and hotness. Though considering I am already shipping for a drama which won't air for a month, perhaps the less said about me, the better :P). There is...wait for it...piggybacking! Hopefully he left his sword at home at that time :)

ETA: Here it is. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG (((Hye Won)))

4. Because I couldn't get Snow Xmas to work last night, I ended up watching eps 4 and 5 of Innocent Love and much fun was had by all - girlfriend-in-a-coma Junya, beginning-to-remember-she-was-molested Kanon, homicidal-maniac Brother, serial-killer-eyes Choir Girl, euthanisia-happy Subaru, etc.

















Woobies!







Poor darling! I just want to hug him and tell him everything will be all right. Flisters promised me.



5. And now for the ridiculous: apparently Lee Byung Hun is being slapped with a breach of promise lawsuit by a Canadian woman. Article on Dramabeans. Long story short: LBH dated some Canadian girl, and now she alleges he "lured" her to Korea by promises of marriage but once she moved, stuck her in a house in Seoul and didn't visit her much. I only have three thoughts on this (1) if this is true, all that makes him is a bad boyfriend and, arguably, a jerk (I wouldn't even go that far - people get bored in relationships all the time and walk out). If you could sue a guy for being a jerk, the judicial system would break from overload and die; (2) Bwaahahahahaha - that's subject to a lawsuit???? I thought breaches of promise actions died with Queen Victoria; and (3) Oh, LBH, why on earth do you even need to sweet-talk? I am pretty sure there are scores of attractive ladies who'd be happy to get together with you in exchange for a promise - a promise of a one-night stand :D

6. My Kindle seems to have died :( I need it! I don't post about books much on here because I talk about them elsewhere, but I've been powering through early P.G. Wodehouse (British humorist-novelist and my favorite writer) and I need my fix. I am in the minority where I prefer early Wodehouse to his 'mature' work - the style in his later work gets even more polished and perfect but his earlier books have emotion, and I like that. Can anyone imagine Bertie Wooster with a heart? I am especially in love with "Jill the Reckless" (Jill is awesome, and Wally = love, plus there is all that stuff about play-making and production which PGW knew intimately) but The Intrusion of Jimmy is also a ridiculous delight.

7. crumpeteer's picspam inspired me to check out SyFy's Alice. I liked Tin Man and I generally like riffs on classics. That reminds me, must give "The Looking Glass Wars" a look.

Chuno looks so ridiculously good. Every new bit out makes me so excited.

ETA: I totally died at the piggybacking bit - it's the only non-grimy part of the whole drama. OTOH, LDH being dragged away - yikes.

Re: Xmas. Childhood stuff is only the first ep and it's not the only reason they like each other, I promise. (Plus, to me, huge difference between resuming a teen romance and one which happened when you were 10).

Re: LBH. Seriously, I feel bad for the guy, it must have been stressful, but lololololol.

Yup, Jeeves is later. I love that, just love earlier stuff more.

the piggybacking killed me nineteen different ways:)

Plus, to me, huge difference between resuming a teen romance and one which happened when you were 10 - exactly so, this is why I hate most childhood stories because the kids "fall in love" when they're around 10 and honestly, I don't even REMEMBER when I was ten! everything before age 14 or so is pretty much a blur except for a few random scattered images - so for me to believe that they go around the rest of their life shaped and driven by their memory of some cute kid they liked when they were 10 is just laughable to me - particularly since as adults even if it is a treasured memory they would/should still possess the maturity to move on. ha.

but yes - I can totally buy high school romance because they're old enough to really fall in love and it's such a hormonal time that it always deeply effects your life

I have memories of having a torrid summer romance with two boys at the same time (we had our own love triangle) when I was about 7. It was sweet and wonderful and I actually remember the feeling so well - being attractive, and excitement, and pleasure.

But. The point is that I do not remember their names or faces at all. So even if I ever ran across them, I would never ever recognize them. So yeah - not super believable.

Now, that boy I crushed on when I was 12? Another matter entirely :P

Now, that boy I crushed on when I was 12? Another matter entirely :P lol
