Twdrama heaven

[dangermousie]

Finished the first ep of Hayate the Combat Butler and it continued adorable, very sweet and oddly gentle throughout. I am utterly hooked. Only twdramas can make it feel so mangaish and so wonderful at the same time.

Also, does anyone else think Maria is the girl from his past that he was having that weird flashback to when he was unconscious? Despite his crush, I really am not shipping him with Maria and much prefer him with Park Shin Hye - they both have the same level of maturity while Maria is about 10x smarter and more grown-up than the both of them put together. I do wonder how PSH will react when she realizes he was yet another in a long line of people who wanted to kidnap her (yes, I care for the characters already, one ep in. That's a good sign).

In other news, I found a trailer for the upcoming Absolute Boyfriend with Jiro and Gu Hye Sun. Not the greatest quality video but good for my purposes. Am so very excited now, because unlike the jdrama (which should never be mentioned lest I get PTSD flashbacks and palpitations), this looks like it's got the manga story and vibe down pat. Plus, Jiro can do both sexy and goofy and while I am not a big fan of GHS, her kind of hyper, physical (over)acting seems very suited for manga adaptations of twdramaland. Can't wait!

I don't know, I just don't notice bad dubs unless they are truly horrific. That's how I get through Mainland dramas :)

I was scarred by JN forever in My Love Patzzi :)

My Love Patzzi was pretty bad, true. :)

I rarely watch Mainland dramas since I'm not very much into historicals. A number of those I watched had an all-Mainland cast, which meant although they were dubbed, it was their own voices. Happy and Love Forever really threw me; I think I watched half of it on FF.

See, I adore historicals so I pretty much have to dwell in dubland :)
