Dramaish

Yet another still from the upcoming Slave Hunters. Personally, I think they shound hunt down whoever came up with that outfit - it's atrocious from top to bottom (yes, I know, historically accurate blah blah. Still atrocious).



In other news, finished Lawyers of Korea. It's too low-key and angstless to go on my favorites list (it's not slice of life at all but it does lack those melodrama moments present in many a drama). But I enjoyed it immensely. Great way to spend the time. Few brief comments.

1. Neither legal nor business stuff in this made any sense. Glaringly so. It kept throwing me out of the story - but ah well.

2. Loved the hinted-at possibility of Lawyer Byun and Ae Ri. They so totally would work. Plus, Lawyer Byun continues to be ridiculously hot. Loved the scene where Woo learned about why he left - pretty emotional but yes, that boat has sailed already and he cannot get her back. A little weird that they are so chummy after merely a year after - so maybe he never truly was madly in love with her after 6-yr separation (makes sense) but was more of trying to make it work because it should? I dunno.

3. I think the scene where Mingook kneels to the bankers and it's not for romantic reasons or even to save his job but to save his staff and company? Was my favorite scene in the drama. OMG.

4. I sort of became irrational about how hot Mingook was by the end, but I think part of it was the super-sexy suits. When he was in super-casual clothes at the end, it wasn't like this :)

5. Ending kiss. Why, their mouths were open and everything, like real grown-ups. Lucky for them they have a big conference table they can use right behind them.

6. I am still confused how the '3 years I will stay away from Woo if you give me your $$$, Ae Ri' thing was not resolved at all - I would have been fine with him having a break-up and asking her to wait for 3 years or him deciding he can't do it, to hell with the promise. But it was sort of dropped after some half-hearted attempts on his part and Ae Ri never brought it up. Odd.

7. I need to see Lee Sung Jae in something else stat. My new crush!

Related to nothing, but I'm three eps into City Hall and om nom nom I love me some hot sharp-dressed angstballs.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. If you like it by ep 3 you are going to loooove it later.

AM THROUGH EP 7

HAVE NOT STOPPED WATCHING

EYES KILLING ME

CANNOT QUIT

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha YES.

How did you like the tango?

Oh. I got so addicted to this drama!

Also, do you like Rich Ice Queen fiancee? I feel like I am the only person in the fandom who likes her.

Secretary Heroine is so cool. And if I were single, I know what I'd like to do to the icy brainy 'my Daddy doesn't love me' hero.

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

Oh, the tango. *___* That actor is killing me with all his intense, you're-the-only-person-in-the-room stares.

I haven't seen much of fiancee yet, but you know who I enjoy the hell out of? Secondary guy's crazy wife. She is just SO ENTERTAININGLY BATSHIT.

CAMPING OTP! Wiping her hands! Splash fight!

Am cracking up every time the boys have their "so when did we sleep together?" exchange.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Crazy Wife is sooooo hilarious. Love her.

It gets better!

YES. He needs to be in another drama, I would definitely watch it. I can't believe that was my first introduction to him, he played neurotic SO WELL.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am thinking of checking out Stranger than Paradise though normally it wouldn't be on my radar.

[mishane.livejournal.com]

LOL I love the synopsis on dramawiki.

Whooo... feel the tension. That is, feel how hard the experienced crew will have to work to make such a trite outline look shiny and fresh.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOLOL - that's awesome.

I sort of became irrational about how hot Mingook was by the end, but I think part of it was the super-sexy suits. When he was in super-casual clothes at the end, it wasn't like this :) YES. it's weird, Lee Sung Jae is not even that classically or ridiculously good-looking, but he's just got such intense charisma and he owns that role so hands-down(plus, the suits, mm) that I was madly in love with him by the end. he's now on my favorite actors list and Stranger than Paradise which would never otherwis be on my list is because apparently his character is awesome in it.

have a cap.


the 3-year thing: but he did go and stay away for three years, though as it turned out he was managing the company from afar and turned it around on his own and didn't need her money after all.

I can't help it, my mind went straight into the gutter!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

But he didn't, not really - he came back after a year and they were going to date for 2 years so they could get married in 3 (that scene with the invite was AWWWW). Not to mention didn't he say he would break up with Lawyer - didn't do it. I am fine with it, just found it puzzling.

LSJ could totally be a suit model - he's so distinguished and slim. Mmm.

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, you're right, I'd forgotten about that. I was so distracted by the pretty and the shippy that I was ignoring all plot holes by that point, but you're quite right now that I think about it.

*wants an LSJ icon*
