Somebody sign me up for an addiction program, stat. This obsession is getting insane.

1. Check out this gorgeous SJ/YH vid - make sure to turn on close captioning.

2. There is speculation on soompi that SJ is going to be mistaken for the Red Messenger and (2) the reason Sun Joon is going to get dragged off to jail as the messenger is because he will confess to being one to protect Yoon Hee who will initially be mistaken for one. No idea if any of this will happen, but if it does, how yummy.

3. I have so many delicious caps and thoughts for eps 13 and 14.





One of the things I love so much about the actors in SKKS is that their eyes are so expressive. And oh, all the interplay and jealousy kills me.





That scene, when he is hiding from her. Oh my GOD.






This drama is ridiculously gorgeous.





In an alternaverse, I could ship them. You know, this drama is like Hana Kimi if Nakatsu got the girl.



Seriously, all the unspoken love and longing and jealousy and anger kills me.











Jae Shin is so very pretty. I have never found Yoo Ah In attractive before, but here, with scruff and long hair and attitude - mmmmm.



I really love how the ep shows SJ basically, in his very quiet way, on the edge of a nervous breakdown and his family/prospective family doesn't seem to care. I mean, shouldn't his father show the least bit of curiousity/concern that his studious, dedicated son is dropping out? But then all the fathers in this show are either MIA or bad - Yoon Hee's is dead, Yong Ha's a complete non-issue, Jae Shin's preferred power to avenging his oldest son (though, to be fair, he seems to love JS and what could he have done anyway), Sun Joon's seems to prefer his son as a robot (when he got upset that SJ did a meritorious act of protecting his roommate because it's irrational? WTF) and In Soo's is just an unscrupulous user (there is NO way he does not know how his son feels about Chosun and look at his behavior). So yeah.











Yoon Hee and Jae Shin get tried for homosexuality.



In Soo is all 'you are gay and gayness is evil and I am ready to go to Bob Jones blah blah blah' but, trust me, In Soo, seeing that the woman you love is sleeping with your father and acting as a fake Robin Hood/assassin on his orders, perhaps you'd be better off exploring the gay lifestyle - I think your cute silent bodyguard may be OK with experimenting with you.



Yon Hee has got such gorgeous bone structure.



You know, fondling his hand in public isn't helping your cause.




And I bet Yong Ha knows it!



I am completely cracking up at this still because, seriously, is everyone in this school blind? Just one look at them should be able to inform you that whatever they got up to, homosexuality is physically impossible between them. Come on, guys. Bliiiiiind.



Poor angsty darling Sun Joon.



Did I mention the pretty?



OMG, In Soo is all "so, are they gay?" and Sun Joon steels himself and replies "the homosexual is me." Ah, poor In Soo, he is sort of like the Wiley Coyote of this drama - all of is plans come to naught. Also, isn't the newly declared gay guy all set to marry his sister? Talk about an interesting in-law relatinship.

I thought the exact same thing when I watched that part xD

The mv is so awesome with subs, but the earlier one you posted is still my favorite (I have rewatched it a ridiculous number of times. My obsession with this show knows no bounds).

I actually had to go back and rewatch the part of Antique where the boxer guy says he'll work at the cake shop. I just couldn't believe that that</> Yoo Ah In was the same Ah In who played Guh Ro.


Sun Joon is officially my drama crush. I am so in awe of his morals and that he actually sticks to them. He is so amazing and my heart hurts so badly when I watch him go through his Boy!Love Angst. *whimper*

But if Sun Joon's father wasn't a terrible excuse for a parent, the writer would have broken a cardinal rule of kdrama! The horror!!! :P

Thanks for all the caps! Less than a day until the raw is out!

Oops, that was me. And I'm apparently terrible at html. Dangit.

First off, icon!!!!!

Re: hand-grabbing. Seriously - what are you thinking, Yoon Hee? (Though if grabby hands are enough to convict one of gayness, Yongha should have been kicked out a long time ago).

bwahahahahahah, true. Though, to be fair, I can't see a happy end of that relationship. Either Left Minister is no obstacle to OTP/reforms because he's been punished (and that's no good for poor Sun Joon) or he is left ruling the roost in which SJ and he will clash irrevocably soon enough.

Re: expressive eyes. I was just thinking about ep13 when they were showing the game, there was a part where there was no dialogue at all, they were just showing a succession of faces and it was so eloquent already. Whoa.

Ah In, I'm sorry, I have to agree. He should keep the scruff. Kind of like Viggo Mortensen. When he cleaned up after Lord of the Rings, I was like, erm... not sure if want. lol. Also, augh. I love Ah In in those robes. Like ksdjskdjks

Poor, poor Sunjoon. omg. I can't even describe this whole thing he's in. "I'm gay". I wonder if it'll happen like in the novel where he's like "If people who go to that place at night are gay lovers and I was there so I guess that means I'm gay" and everyone will be dumbfounded or sth. OR HE'S REALLY ANNOUNCING HE'S GAY FOR YOONHEE OMFGGGG!!11!! He always announces something shocking at the end of episodes lol.

And HAHA Insoo is stymied again. And I mean, he plans things pretty well. Like he said to Yongha, either way, he wins -- Jaeshin is Hong Byuk Seo or he and Yoonhee are gay. It really pretty much was a win-win situation. Except Joseon F4 are pretty frikking jamazing, so. Neener-neener.

Re: Viggo. That is so exactly what I thought. As Aragorn, he was RAWR. As himself, not so much.

I am trying to think how he is going to top this announcement in ep 16 :)

Re: In Soo. But his plans ALWAYS fail. He should just seriously give up.

Haha the whole JaeShin = Aragorn debate. Too true. It's all about the sex appeal, baby =)

And about SJ's father, I don't think he's a necessarily bad person, but he loves his son and wants what is best for him (in his own way). He's definitely proud of SJ, that's for sure. And the fact that he's worried about his son saving YH shows how much he really knows his son's character (and therefore feels as if YH can be a threat). I think him not saying anything much about SJ dropping out of SKK proves his trust in SJ's ability to think for himself, and to make his own decisions. That said, the Left Minister will not hesitate to use his son either eg: dangling the engagement in front of the Minister of War.

Re: SJ's father. Makes sense.
