Largely about the most adorable secondary OTP ever (but with a side of Bollywood)

I.



I have watched ep 23 of Boys Over Flowers. It had break-ups and break-downs, but honestly, I am tired of the main OTP mess. Let's instead talk about the adorableness of Yi Jung/Ga Eul.



Ga Eul comes to tell Yi Jung she has found his first love's message (side note: I always thought that was the most convoluted, ridiculous way to confess ever. Also, why did she give up when he didn't show up. For all she knew, he overslept or something).















































Seriously, Yi Jung, I know it sucks, but let's face it, you could be the lead in East of Eden and get beaten, imprisoned, and disowned before you turn 17...oh, wait! Well, closure is good though...



























Scene 2, which was adorableness itself:

"Shall I go in. Last time I saw the dude, he was having a nervous breakdown and who wants to have to deal with it twice?"



Only Yi Jung would be dressed to the nines while messing with sticky, dirty substances...





Did I mention the adorableness?













































































Darn phone! Also, evil Mama Kang, you shouldn't interrupt with your 'fire Ga Eul's Dad' schemings when my OTP looks so shiny happy. Plus, do we really want Yi Jung move back into his condo in emoland?











2. I didn't post about it, but a few weeks I watched Antique Bakery movie and it was very delightful. Mmmm.

3. I am rewatching Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, one of my favorite Bollywood movies which deals with a touchy subject of infidelity - I love its flawed protagonists. Here is a MV I found, mainly because I like this Polish song.

Yi Jung/Ga Eul are so fantastic! LOL, I'm enjoying your 'shippy recaps way more than the actual series.

If they made a whole show about HE/YJ, I would love it so much more!

Awww I love this OTP! They are the reason why I watch.

I am with you, will definitely watch a whole show about them.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

They are the reason I watch too - the main OTP has been messed up out of all recognition for me.

I just love those two ... always have and I'm glad that they might get a happy ending this time. What I didn't like about this pairing was the obvious inequality they always showed in HYD. It was so painful to watch Yuki pursuing Soujiro with him playing up his playboy status and his money and family connections, Yuki always seemed to fall behind.
At least here, Ga Eul and YJ are equals with GE even emotionally superior/maturer than YJ. Money doesn't matter, his family connections don't matter, heck, I go as far as say that he might not have gotten laid since that night Ga Eul brought him her Valentine's present. Even if there wasn't this great attraction between them, they still can be friends.
That's what I like about them so much. And the fact that while GE fell for him just like Yuki, she doesn't let herself be taken as a doormat.

It's true - they leveled the inequality between these two - if anything, she is superior to him, his money notwithstanding. The odd thing is that is how it was supposed in the original between the main couple - Domyoji had $$$ but Makino was the well-adjusted one, the one who could get his head on straight etc etc, but this drama messed it up incredibly - I lol when I see the writer apologists talk about minor changes to the main characters from the manga. Heeee.

Please please drama gods - good ending for these two!!!!!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

From the spoilers I read, it seems likely!

i know this is really weird...but the sight of yi jung's leg hairs kinda thrilled me to bits! far too many oriental men are jst too hairless! bleurgh!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. When they have less body hair than I do, time to worry!

[akosikae.livejournal.com]

Those two are cute! Haa I remember my Ximen/Xiao You days.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]
