To watch or not to watch?

[dangermousie]

I gave up on Bl after 6+ eps because it just wasn't clicking for me - it was well-written and acted but I had zip emotional involvement in the characters. However, I kept with recaps and it seems to have gotten good, somehow. Hence, my dilemma.

I liked the first 6 eps in funnies, it jumped the shark for me at 8/9.

But I think u'll like what's going on in the latest eps, it's ANGST (I think it's very contrived, but what do I know!?)

If you can't stand insane amt of med inaccuracies ie DokkoJin grasping his artificial heart in pain every 10 mins, then NO.

I enjoyed StH where eye cancer was caused by a car accident so realism is not a must, but the rest of it makes me roll my eyes so hard.

aww I am enjoying thiis show!!! But I do love stupid goofy stuff so it may not be for you...

I'm going crazy waiting for new episodes!!!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee, I know how you feel -- that's how I am with City Hunter.

[rectherapyfreak.livejournal.com]

I'm loving City Hunter too! I have only seen up to episode 2. I tried watching episode 3 but it was taking forever to load. I'm hoping the drama site I love gets it soon so I can watch it better! If they don't get it soon I'm just goign to have to suffer!! Because I can't wait much longer!!!

I enjoy the show, it is absolutely a very stupid ridiculous show but I enjoy that type of thing. Also just to add I now understand the attraction of mickey yoochun i mean he is really doing it for me as sun joon. I love the bad boy jae shin too, he's adorable but sun joon is more my type.

Yesssssss! I was such a SJ fangirl.

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

honestly, BL is nothing to write home about. there's some nice angst now but it will never be a GOOD drama per se.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Hmm, probably true.

[hollyxu.livejournal.com]

I still can't get behind Jin as the male protag, so I really wouldn't care if his car went off a cliff and exploded. That said, I think they're turning up the angst now, so you might want to tune back in, since that's your thing. :P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

If his car went off a cliff I'd totally watch, just to see fandom go berserk.

I cannot stand the AdamSandleresque immaturity of the main guy. =/ I can do rebels and even scarred men i.e. So Ji Sub in MISA, Jang Hyuk in Chuno

but immature, obnoxious manchild?

No.

But my friends LURVE IT

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, immaturity in a guy is one of the least attractive things - if I wanted a kid, I'd get one.

[enagwolo.livejournal.com]

Catch up with City Hunter instead. The revenge plot didn't move along too much but there's loads of YS/Nana to make up for it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I saw! It was so amazing.

[mionenoelle.livejournal.com]

I'm a romcom/trendy girl so don't trust my advice (too much). I think you should because I think it's a good and entertaining show, but I don't think romcoms and trendies are your thing so might end up not liking it in spite of the angst upgrade (or downgrade, ymmv).

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mmm angst upgrade is what got me curious :)

even I... an obsessed fan of Hong Sisters .... voted number 3
I loved to bits MGIAG... but this time I can't feel the chars (I haven't watch this week eps yet... however technically looks better than MGIAG ... frankly the later is way more appealing for a rewatch ...rather than BL
why? CSW is a sexy guy... but this time the PD .. didn't flatter that much the guy ... take care with the angles PD :D... and second GHJ - I have the feeling that I'm watching Pasta without the Chep and Italian team- my main worry is that I saw the white dress on her before... on the red carpet... only that it was a few months after Pasta.....(this much I care about the char)

BL I'm glad that this time I don't FF any char(like the aunt and PD OTP in MGIAG)... but I don't love the main chars either

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, makes sense.

[angelajewell.livejournal.com]

Though I'm a huge Hong-sisters fan, even I voted no. I made it to episode 11 and have resigned myself to recap-reading, since it's just not working for me. The characters are too unrealistic and hard to connect with, and the constant I-love-you-but-can't tug-of-war is growing redundant... if the first 6 episodes didn't grab you, I doubt the next 6 will.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, you are probably right.

[puion.livejournal.com]

I've been going crazy trying to be patient waiting for the next ep.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

:)

[missjb.livejournal.com]

rom com generally is not suppose to be make sense.... so far enjoy this drama alot. I vote, yess i hope u will continue watching it... this drama really mindless fun. personally I love it way more than MGIG..

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was kinda bored by MGIG.
