I don't know how many of you realize it but I have a positively unhealthy obsession with Park Shi Hoo (How to Meet a Perect Neighbor, Iljimae, upcoming Prosecutor Princess). Maybe
mishane will understand me.
I have spent most of Iljimae wishing he was the one to get the girl and that the drama was about him (and seeing that the male lead was Lee Jun Ki, that's quite a feat). I get a sort of fluttery feeling when I see him on my screen.
And that brings me to Family Honor and my dilemma. He is the leading man in that one, in love with a young widow. It's by the writer of Perfect Neighbor and Pick the Stars, two dramas I am in love with.
So what is the problem? That puppy is 54 episodes. 54 freaking episodes. I am not sure I can survive this even for Park Shi Hoo.
What to do? What to do?
Ahhh, yes. A watchalong.
Shall you join me? We can have either a schedule (4 eps a week or some other number) or I can create just one bucket post like I did with Bali. Your choice.
Join me?
Park Shi Hoo beckons you.

Also have a shippy MV:
It is subbed on viikii (region free). I have not seen softsubs anywhere, unfortunately.
Do iiiiiiiit! After all, as
hanjae put it, this is the drama where He is of the macho type that gets thoroughly dissed by heroine and falls for her tongue whipping without losing the Manly Aura that he exudes, LOL. Ohhh, that raw emotion when he sheds his manly tears and begs her to say the word and stop him from going over the edge ♥
Yes please.

Date: 2010-03-10 06:13 am (UTC)Wish I had time. I have been contemplating this drama since alexandal talked abut it ages ago. I do like PSH. Guess I'll just have follow the fun on the post then.
Edit
Some softsubs can be found here. Looks like it's an ongoing project though.

Date: 2010-03-10 07:31 am (UTC)You are finally going to watch this!!! And isn't Apdy's videos just perfect? She finds all the perfect song (with the right-on lyrics) for this Family Honor OTP!!!
Let me tell you, I used to dislike watching angst-related plots, BUT this angsty love between Kang Suk & Dan Ah is pure bliss.
And yes, watching PSH cry (but in such a manly way) over his conflicted love for his OTP...especially from ep 33 onwards....just moved me to tears.

Ha Dan Ah is my all time favorite heroine. You are going to LOVE her.
I`ve already watched this 3 or 4 times – that is how much I love this drama.
So I`ll watch it again with you.
PS this drama was aired in Singapore with english subs
that version (harsubbed) can be found HERE:

Date: 2010-03-10 12:51 pm (UTC)I think it meets your every single Kdrama preference. 54 eps weren't too bad because I liked all the other family stories too (this was different from "Three Brothers" where I liked OTP but hated everyone else).
If I find softsubs I will do a rewatch . I have been even contemplating buying this, it was so awesome.

I AM THERE WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK?!?!?! I DIDN'T EVEN READ THE REST OF THE POST SO I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS BUT I'M IN!
*going back up to read now*
I would like to do weekly but I have so many dramas right now (and the end of March will be swamped with new dramas!!) that I'll probably just participate in the bucket post.

Date: 2010-03-10 04:11 pm (UTC)I wouldn't be able to keep to the schedule of a watchalong but I'm tempted to check out this drama. Park Shi Hoo is the only thing I liked about Iljimae. I wish he'd gotten the girl too!
In other news...subs for Tamra Episode 9:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OZG083U4
And subs for Episode 10. Unlike Ep9's subs, I haven't touched them. From what I've seen, they look okay. I'm off to watch both episodes on my TV screen (so much better than on my computer) now :o)

Date: 2010-03-10 04:35 pm (UTC)Re: Iljimae. Let's be outcasts together - he was the only thing I liked too. All the cartoony OTT stuff wasn't my bag but his repressed angsty believes-he's-in-love-wht-halfsis character was so very very good. (Bizarrely, I thought that Return of Iljimae was Iljimae if Shi Ho was the main character. No wonder I liked RoI)

Date: 2010-03-10 05:23 pm (UTC)I watched it at LEAST four times already!!! Such an almost perfect drama. Good story, good cast, etc... And there NO bad people, just normal and unperfect people who want to do their best.
AND, there is angst (so you'll love it...)
AND, Park Shi Hoo has these little dances .... soooooooo sexy!!!!! (Really it's the first time I found a man so sexy dancing....)
AND, the heroine IS awfully GREAT!!!!!
I'm in!!!!

Date: 2010-03-11 03:01 am (UTC)The whole story is so good that 54 episodes are not a big problem. No shenanigans I hate, no annoying plot I curse, no disgusting characters I want to bite (there were still some moments I wanted to knock some sense into some characters. But that’s related to theirs own flaws and they changed in a convincing way later. So I told myself to be more patient). The OTP are THAT GREAT, and other couples are adorable enough. It’s a wonder for me in 2009 kdrama world. Also Park Shi Hoo gained himself many good points both in acting and popularity. He is already HOT enough alone, and even HOTTER with Yoon Jung Hee.
So, rewatch? Yes!
Hope I can get the files without dl problem.
