I kinda wanted to punch Jun Pyo in the face in today's episode, because of the horse thing (being vague so as not to have to put it under cut). Seriously, all his worst actions are because he doesn't think through to the consequences. And when the consequences happen, he fells awful, but if he thought it through, they would have never happened! Ehhh, I still love you, hot-headed woobie!
In other news, OMG Kim Hyun Joong. Seriously, I think I have to reverse all my "wooden" comments because I am rather in love. I think Hyun Joong is finally starting to relax and not be so stiff and OMG...Ji Hoo is beginning to come across as totally adorable and with angst and cleverness and a little spacey. I am smitten. I can also (finally!!!) see the Jandi/Ji Hoo potential. Well done, kdrama. Well done. Also, angsty phobic Ji Hoo is awesome, but chibi!Ji Hoo makes my newly awakened maternal instincts melt into puddle of goo.
Jun Pyo's sister = pure awesome cartwheeling love. I like that her rationale for helping Jandi is because all of this will make her little brother more human.
Bless you, new director! Finally, Go Hye Sun isn't mugging as much but acting normal (maybe because there are not as many purely comedic scenes). Since this is what she is good at: normal or serious scenes, I am all for it. I think of all the eps, I like her performance in this one the most.
Loved that they had Jun Pyo went his wrath on the racing guys. We need to have those displays of violent temper and we really hadn't had much before. So this was good.
Ji Hoo can kiss me on the forehead any time.
Speaking of squealy things: HUG. HUG. HUG. HUG.
How very posh.
All your fault, Jun Pyo, I am sorry to say! (Isn't it interesting that the little sub-theme of this ep seems that if you handle things too roughly and without consideration, they will break. Something that Jun Pyo, who is still stuck in a very childish state, needs to learn).
This is so pretty, and all of a sudden, Jandi and Ji Hoo have this easy, delightful rapport. What happened? But I am not complaining as I am too busy wobbling on my ship preferences.
Poor chibi!Ji Hoo!
Poor Ji Hoo, he knows he has to drive but all he can hear is his screams when he was a child and his parents died in that car accident. But of course he totally will because he promised to protect Jandi. I am rather in love, I confess. It took me 7 eps but I am there!
Ji Hoo is pretty, Ga Eul is pretty, everything is pretty.
For the Yi Jung/Ga Eul shippers on my flist.
Oh. OH. And I love that in his head, he apologizes to Jun Pyo (who looks like he wants to kill someone) but he does it anyway to protect Jandi. LOVE.
"Just once. Tell me you like me." OMGMMMMMMMMMM. Why I should melt whenever an arrogant, bad-tempered, childish guy gets all desperate and angsty (at least, if said guy is any version of Domyouji) I have no idea, but there it is. But I am glad she does not say it: he is nowhere near human being enough yet, though he is on the road there.

Sad to say, the last part in Viikii wouldn't load the subs, I'm so sad :(

Date: 2009-01-26 09:55 pm (UTC)I was smiling by the end of the episode. KHJ, I take back what I said about your acting because you have improved markedly. I loved all of his interactions with Jandi this episode! And Yay! GHS tones down the comical acting! I also see that Jun Pyo has yet to learn anything.
Have you seen the Episode 8 preview? Jun Pyo was watching Jandi and Ji Hoo on their date. And then later something happens to Ji Hoo that lands him in hospital? It better have not been Jun Pyo who sent him there. If so, he's in for a good walloping!

Oh, I was so happy to see both these things happen! Of course, the downside is that I am now rather smitten with Ji Hoo :) GHS toning it down was the most welcome development, by far. Before, she seemed to be acting in a different sort of drama from the rest of them, at times, and the OTTness made it hard to see why Jun Pyo or others would find her so loveable.

Soompiers have been saying it's Jun Pyo in the hospital but since I can't read Korean, I can't read the name on the hospital room.

Date: 2009-01-26 10:39 pm (UTC)You know, in the first cap, I totally thought Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo were riding the same horse. And it's highly amusing to me that BBF is totally keeping with the jdrama character color schemes (Domyoji = black, Rui = white... obviously symbolic, huh?).
*sigh* Seeing how, like, everyone is jumping on the Ji Hoo ship now, I just know I'm going to fall in love with him too. And I thought I'd get away not obsessively loving the other guy this time...

Date: 2009-01-26 10:43 pm (UTC)Ga Eul is so pretty---prettier than the heroine, I think, which doesn't mean that Jandi is ugly. Goo hye sun is pretty to but it is rare to see secondary girl prettier than the main.
Oh, I must admit that one reason I learned kendo was that someday I hoped to hit someone with the stick. Alas, I just live vicariously through Jun Hee. LOL.

Date: 2009-01-27 07:20 am (UTC)I've always sort of thought that Kim Hyun Joong needed direction and wasn't getting it. He was really unsure in his role up till now. Way to go KHJ!
Oh, and the nametag at the hospital door, it says Gu Jun Pyo. Learning hangul finally pays off, ha.

Jun Pyo's sister is awesome!
And THE HUG!!! EEE! I can't wait to see the next episode!

Date: 2009-01-27 06:00 pm (UTC)I'm so glad to hear KHJ is fitting into his role! Ever since I saw KHJ in all those BbF-related BTS videos, I thought he would potentially make a splendid Rui -- not just in terms of appearance. *wonders* Do you think Rui would write fanfiction?
And I see they're pretty insistent on the white knight symbolism...
Is it just me, or does Ga-eul's hairstyle AND outfit remind anybody of Joo Yoo-rin's in My Girl?
Just based purely on the previews, I am totally digging Jun-hee, who seems to be as kick-ass as her original counterpart! :)"

Date: 2009-01-28 02:48 pm (UTC)Rui would definitely write fanfiction! :)
