OK, now I calmed down enough to turn my liveblogging into something more coherent and cleaned up,



"We are here for vengeance, put away all personal feelings." Bwahahahaha, Undaddy, do you not hear the irony? revenge = most personal and irrational of feelings. Oh, and of course you are predictable with your 'if Nana finds out your identity she dies.' No wonder YS flipped so much when he realized she knew and did his best to shove her away, even trying to convince her he'd kill her. He knew that is how Undaddy would react.

Nana thinking about him being shot and putting a bullet from the necklace to that shoulder going 'i wonder how much that hurt' She is not going to give up on you, idiot, not when you saved her life twice, once after she shot you. But YS has such excellent reason to push her away. My heart breaks for both of them.

He's telling himself he must forget her, for her sake, but let's face it, how can he, not when he's loved her since he was 17, years before they met, as the one embodiment of hope in his life?

You know, even if this drama somehow turns insane with next ep, I don't care, it is still going on my favorite 2011 list and YS and Nana on my fave all time otps.

I love how he tries to discourage her by telling her he'd have saved Eun Ha too, not just her, and he tries to make it seem as if she is not special to him, but what she gets out of it is that this means he is a good person. Oh, she's amazing.

He's quitting his job???? This drama sure likes to shake things up.

Undaddy may you burn in hell for telling YS' Mom he is dead just so you won't interfere with revenge. You are more of a monster than all the men you hunt put together. Go back to your undead grave.

"I want you to live well, Kyung Hee" Why are you not stricken dead on the spot by God, Undaddy? I literally have tears of rage in my eyes.

You know, people use the whole 'he saved YS from a landmine' as evidence Undaddy loves him somehow but nope, nope, nope. It's his not wanting to give up his conduit for revenge, nothing else - all his other behavior demonstrates that.

Great, now Kyung Hee left the hospital entirely and disappeared because she has nothing to live for so what's the point of treatment? I am sure the best friend who died to save you just loves that you just caused his loved wife's death, Undaddy!

God, I am spending the entirety of this ep either crying or enraged.

Nooo! YS just missed seeing her by minutes.

Great, now Undaddy (who is lying he has KH) has progressed to threatening the lives of both Nana AND Kyung Hee, to keep YS in line. His terms? Yoon Sung has to kill Target n3 or YS' Mom and OTP die. Oh my God. It's Yoon Sung, who's never cold-bloodedly killed anyone, who so desperately wants to escape the cycle of violence so as to have a hope for a normal life afterwards and prevent others from becoming like him as a result of turning into orphans. How can he? But how can he not? It's a choice that demands he damn himself, give up hope and become a murderer, or let his loved ones die. Why are you not dead yet, bastard Undaddy?

Oh, really, if you didn't get a limp, you'd carry revenge out by yourself? So why did you kidnap YS as a baby, freakshow???? I am getting tired of typing 'die scum' after each sentence concerning Undaddy so consider it automatically added from now on.

You do, realize, Scumbag, that you better find Kyung Hee and fast and get her treated because if YS dooms his immortal soul ecetc and finds out it was for nothing, what's to prevent him from going after you - after all, he'd be a murderer by then anyway.

Prosecutor's Daddy is no gift but he does genuinely love his son. Well, look on the bright side, Prosecutor. You could have Undaddy for a parent.

oooh, what's Pres' dirty secret that Target n4 knows? Hmmm.

Nana tells YS she will forget him and disappear from his life. Oh, it hurts so - because it must kill him to hear that, even though that is what he knows he should want.

Nana figured out Prosecutor is her Daddy Long Legs. Man, this drama doesn't drag anything.

Great, is Undaddy aiming for YS to be caught by the Prosecutor now? Ugh.

Prosecutor won't spare his own father from the law which is kinda awesome (that whole confrontation was amazing).

Ah, the irony. After all YS did to protect Nana, basically tearing out his heart, she gets kidnapped and is in mortal peril for something that has nothing to do with him. Nothing is certain in this world, YS, you might as well enjoy what happiness you can get.

I love it that I thought it will be a case of YS saving her once again but she rescued herself! And not only that, but she rescued him!!!

Oh, and horrible flunkies, how dare you torment YS? Arggggghghghghghghghghhgh

Those last few minutes, of Nana showing up like an avenging angel, busting down the door and taking on all those goons and decimating them, to save Yoon Sung - whoa. And then taking a bullet for him (in the same place she shot him. Please let it be the same place and thus survivable, please!) and falling into his arms, her blood spraying his face, like all his nightmares made flesh at once, and his going completely feral on the man who shot her (but somehow able to put her aside so very gently, still) and the way he stumbles to her, slowly, and with his eyes looking as if he was dying and there are tears in his voice and he can barely cry-whisper "why?" and she responds "because you saved me twice." My heart. I am crying like a total idiot and can barely see and have been crying for the last I don't know how long. And then she asks him 'did you also hurt like this?' because even with all of this, she still feels guilty and concern for the wound she caused and she is still concerned for him above all. Oh my God. They are my OTP of the year and no other drama this year can take that spot, I don't care what happens. And she tells him "did you really hate me? I would like to hear you didn't." Because despite her belief and strength she was unsure - after his words. Ohhhhh. He is going to self-destruct if she dies like this and believing this. Because she goes limp and he's left sobbing and screaming her name and clutching her dead (please don't be dead) or unconscious body.

For the record, drama, we are breaking up if she dies. It will be cool and gutsy but my heart can't stand it. Not only will YS likely shoot himself in the head, I can't deal without Nana - I love her. But I love you for making me believe you can do anything, even kill off the heroine halfway through the run.



All I can say is - oh my God. I had to cap this which meant rewatching which meant turning into a wreck.




























































































































This is the best drama of 2011. The end. Even if it is turning angsty enough to make me eat my own head.

Oh, and if you expect me to watch anything else before getting my hands on ep 12, you are insane. How could I even concentrate? How can anything compare?

omg that part break my heart so badly, in so many little pieces, poor baby, it made me cry, all she wanted to hear before she died was that he didn't hate her and was sorry for hurting him.

And he didn't get a chance to tell her he didn't hate her so she still doesn't know! Which worries me!

I am glad she is not dying because he could never live with himself if she not only died for him, but died for him believing he hated her.

Yeah, it will probably make him do it harder, though after the whole transfusion preview thing, I doubt he could talk Sae Hee into going along, which was my n1 fear.

That was so awesome. Best cliffhanger evah!

I actually think it'd be so cool if Nana died at this moment. That would be such a radical departure from the k-drama formula. It would imbue City Hunter's mission with a new, much more intimate purpose. And, I wouldn't mind having this kickass version of her as my last memory of her, rather than have her go back to being that failure of a bodyguard. I'd have loved her so much more if they'd made her this kickass all along. For a moment, images of Emma Peel and the Heroic Trio came aflooding!

Awesome.

They'd have to do something so radical with her if they let her live. She can't go back to being the imbecile ditz she was before. I feel like I'm watching an entirely different character. Where has she been all this time!!

See, I found her tough and awesome throughout the drama so I didn't think it was OOC. But mmv.

I would explode if they killed her and we have nice new white walls so the splatter is not good :)

From: [identity profile] sanaenam.livejournal.com
Haha. What's OOC? Out of context? Out of character? I presume it's the latter? I've ranted elsewhere about Nana's ineptitude, and it has much to do with having a father who was a career military man, then Park Chung Hee's bodyguard til Park's assassination. But MMV exactly.

WORD!!!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!! How can this show break my heart so many times over???? If NN dies, like YS, I'm gonna go ballistic. The thing is, this show is freaking unpredictable that anything can happen. Dear God, please don't let NN die. She deserves to bear her mini me and mini YS in her lifetime...

I am sure she is going to survive. No drama would be as insane as to kill off the heroine halfway through the run (though if any drama would have the balls to do it, it would be CH).

I hope they are alive and happy together at the end, living a normal life in her apartment, with a couple of kidlets and ahjumma and ahjusshi to spoil them.

Very nice picture you painted. ^_^ It'll be a miracle if it will be so. Show's swimming in darker, murkier waters now. They would not end it happily.I'm anticipating it already since I can't stand for my heart to be shattered again. T_____T

Yeah, after a first couple eps, I was sure of a happy ending but now, I am pretty doubtful (though still hopeful and likely will get my heart trampled to bits).

First my mind went blank. (After I'd spent the whole episode pretty much in your mental state.
I had to hold by breath for those last few minutes because I didn't know what else to do.
I KNEW something was going to happen to her. I WANT to believe she won't die but the part of me that thinks this show DOES have the balls to kill her off won't let me rest until I see her smiling face all healthy and pretty.
Oh my God this drama has turned me into a lunatic. I spent the whole evening gearing myself to watch this.
Please don't make this OTP suffer anymore! I love my beloved badass couple! AND They've been through enough!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Nana is so supportive of Yoon Sung not only because she loves him but because she feels that he's genuinely a good person.

And Jin Pyo's non-logic is really the one thing in City Hunter that makes me irrationally angry. You repay your best friend's sacrifice, by kidnapping his child and sentencing his wife to a lifetime of misery? And then, thirty years later, lying and telling her that her son DIED? Despite the fact that you almost seem to genuinely want her to live happily? I mean, ARE YOU AN IDIOT? How is a parent, who has lived for the past 30 years only in hopes of seeing her son again, going to 'live happily' when you tell her her son is dead? How does, "Well your son is dead, so you'll never see him, but don't worry, I'll pay for your treatments and everything will be okay!' make sense?

But this drama is just such a wonderful, angsty ball of contradictions. Every time Yoon Sung is a bastard to Nana I rage at him. And then five minutes later I'm completely back on his side. This drama does such a good job of contrasting emotion and reason, in that it makes both angles completely irresistible simultaneously. I LITERALLY CANNOT CHOOSE. I want Yoon Sung to just grab Nana and make out with her until non-daddy hits the dust, but I also want him to push her far, far away so that she won't get hurt. But then of course the feminist in me is screaming, "She can obviously hold her own, and she WANTS to help, so let her make up her own mind."

Ep 12 made me think even more that JP is insane - his reasons for taking the kid, his willingness to off him etc etc.

I love that YS tried to push Nana away (because what kind of person would he be to automatically let her be in danger) but I love even more it didn't keep because he couldn't hold out.

I marathoned eps 9-11 this afternoon and by the time I finished ep 11 (OMG, drama, you hurt so good), I rushed to watch the beginning of ep 12 (the download had just finished, perfect timing)because I couldn't stand not knowing. That's a ballsy drama. I was pretty certain she wouldn't die but I was not 100% sure either.

Sexy Prosecutor is back in my good graces. What a messed up relationship he has with his father. For a moment there I thought he would destroy the evidence Nana brought him when he asked to keep the file but it looks like he's honorable to the core. But I'm still a bit peeved that Nana seems fine with him letting her fall to her death to catch a suspect and his "secret pen pal" stint. I can see her understanding and forgiving/accepting but I would have liked to have seen her at least reflect upon it once.

Nana really seems thankful to him. There's still 8 episodes left and they'll have to leave some room for the romance stuff. Now that NN has said that she'll forget YS, I can see her turning to YJ more, not in a romantic way but YS will misunderstand (while probably deliberatly using SH as a smokescreen all the while) and angst about it. But the drama has really surprised me in a lot of ways so far so maybe they won't go that route.

And I still can't get over all the gorgeousness. The headshots are to die for. I really like how they're using shallow depth of field and showing the actors' faces to their best angles. They're not always the same either. Sometimes, a character will look totally different from another angle (especially LMH).

Speaking of LMH....Boy can act. OMG, the rage with which he pummeled that thug! It looked so real. And the anguish, the terror just afterwards... Now I REALLY want to see him a saeguk Chuno style. I'm going to watch everything he's in in from now on. I'll even finish Personal Taste which I abandonned somewhere around episode 12. And I can feel a BBF re-watch coming soon. Like this weekend to help me wait until next wednesday.

I think, ultimately, she doesn't care enough about Prosecutor to care, if it makes any sense. Poor guy, he got an even worse deal in ep 12. So far his dad is the most interesting of the five though.

I feel like rewatching BOF too which is I know, not a good idea, but I can't stop.

I haven't watched ep 12 yet (except for the first few minutes RAW). I think I'll hold out until next week. I haven't read any spoilers but from what I understand there's also a big cliffhanger at the end of the episode and it might be wise to wait a little bit.

It does make sense about Prosecutor and Nana actually. And do you think there's any chance of him and YS cooperating and working together? Or is he too by the book to work with someone who broke the law?

You're right, it's not a good idea to rewatch BOF. But I can't stop either :o)

I am impressed with your willpower.

Re: Prosecutor. Hmmm. I don't know. He's a little too by the book imo, but you never know.

From: [identity profile] cleobulle.livejournal.com
Lol. You shouldn't be impressed. I caved in yesterday evening. It seems I have zero willpower when it comes to City Hunter! And I'm also on holiday so I'll be able to watch the episodes in livestreaming every week with no trouble.

I wasn't on the edge of my seat at the end of episode 12 though. We already had a "Is she gonna die?" moment et the end of episode 11 so i'm thinking undaddy dearest's goal is either to scare YS a bit or to kidnap Nana, not to run her over and kill her. We'll see.

Yeah, Prosecutor is very by the book. But, if he doesn't work with YS, I can see him doing something for him. I like the parallels between the two: the both of them wanting to uphold what they think is right even if it brings them into conflict with their fathers.

Speaking of parallels...how cool was the "standing in the middle of the road one"? YS and Undaddy are hardcore, that's for sure.

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
Oh, I am pretty sure his goal is not to kill her - I think he wants to show YS how easily he can get to those precious to him.

The middle of the road was amazing. Also, I love that YS stopped unlike Undaddy back in ep 3? 4?
