I marathonned first two eps of Love Story in Harvard.

I guess I have my new marathonning drama after all.

It is SO AWESOME.

(They did film in Boston a lot btw)

I really really like Hyon-Woo (Kim Rae Won's character). He is laid-back and funny and intelligent and it's totally hard for him, all the studying in the law school. And he has floppy hair and glasses and an irresistable grin. KRW's English is very strongly accented, but I can understand him, and he's supposed to have flown directly from Korea, so I have no problem with the fact. And hey, it's way better than my Korean :) The English of the guy who plays Alex Hong makes me roll my eyes though because he is supposed to have been living in the US since he was a small child.

Their concept of law school and law practice in the US and similar is a rather loose (and I am still trying to figure out why Hyon-Woo wants to study law in the US if he plans to practice in Korea, as Korea is a civil law country), but not too much more than on an American show, and certainly a lot more close than any American show would get to stuff in Korea.

Anyway, this is awesome. I totally dislike the other guy, btw, Alex Hong. And he hasn't even put any moves on the heroine yet. It's just he is so teachers' pet and show-off and everything is totally easy for him, and he knows how to play the system. While I sorta want to huggle Hyon-Woo, who is on the bad side of his Prof and is trying to do the best he can and actually putting effort into stuff. I am just thinking if I was in a class with Alex, I'd strangle him :D There is some inadverstently slashy stuff which is cute though :)

Now to the important part of any kdrama: the love story. It's great. KRW and the actress who plays Soo-In have awesome chemistry, warm and teasing. And I love LOVE Soo-In. She is totally an independent strong woman: she is studying medicine and she is funny and tongue in cheek and OMG OMG when KRW mistakes her (long story but it's understandable) for a call girl and she perpetuates it by offering to go to a motel room with him for $100? LOL.

There is a lot more laid-back joking about sexuality here btw. Maybe because they are a bit older than some of kdrama couples? Mid twenties? And I love it when he pays her to help him study a malpractice case (not something you'd do as a first year but whatever) and ends up asking her all sorts of personal questions and making her noodles? TO DIE FOR.

This is awesome.

As far as angsty love story of rich law-studying boy and poor but smart-mouthed girl? This is way better than the Ali McGraw/Ryan O'Neal Harvard tearjerker.

And not just because we get a SHOWER SCENE about ten minutes into the first ep and whoa baby. Wet, almost naked Kim Rae Won? Who has clearly has been working out a hell of a lot? He's so cut you can contemplate geometrical patterns on his torso. Yummy ones. They should put that on Harvard Law brochures.

But please please PLEASE tell me she doesn't die at the end. It doesn't look too angsolicious but it's kdrama.

Another awesome shippy MV )

I just found out (thanks [livejournal.com profile] catdecember) that Witch Yoo Hee is by the same team as did My Girl and Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang.

OMG OMG! I am even more excited now because it means that WYH will continue to be funny, the OTP(s) will be amazing, and that there will be some angst that will make me bawl and scenes that will continue to make me die of glee.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] kitsune714 just informed me that Takki's Romeo & Juliet special is out. She very kindly linked me to a torrent but d-addicts torrents are something I only use a last resort because they take forever and work only half the time. So *begs, puppy eyes* anyone have any other links? Clubbox? MU? SS? Anything?

P.S. Note to self. Remember to watch Byakkotai. Yamapi >>>>> everything in jdramas except Kimura Takuya.

Mr. Mousie and I were amusing ourselves by reading out loud to each other from our Lonely Planent Scandinavian Guide (that we still have from the time we went to Iceland).

Highlights of the guide included a town named Hammerfest (which sounded REALLY boring), mentions of restaurants where the most edible thing was a puffin (a seagull like arctic bird). Oh, and veiled complaints about the fact that indigenous people now have prefab homes and TVs as opposed to freezing in primitive but 'authentic' conditions.

But my favorite bit is this (in discussion of Svalbard, an archipelago belonging to Norway):

(and I quote)

Warning: The danger of being killed by a polar bear cannot be overstated. Never venture from the settlements in Svalbard unless you are armed with a loaded rifle and know how to use it.

Hah.

Ah, Lonely Planet, I love you.

They tried not to mention the favorie pasttime of the inhabitants of the Faroes Island: if a whale swims into the harbor, the hue and cry goes out, and every able bodied man is supposed to run and geta spear and help to kill the whale.

No idea why they left it out :)

Since Love Story in Harvard appears, while angsty at times and uber-romantic, to be an upbeat drama overall, I am considering which angsty one to watch next after the current batch. I am alternating Taiyou No Kisetsu (most likely winner, as I planned to watch it forever plus Takki!) or newly arrived Something Happened in Bali otherwise known as spoiler for the end )

I have watched more of Love Story in Harvard and all I can say is their grasp of law school is quite wonky: Hyon-Woo is taking a contracts class but needs help (and thus hires Soo-In) for a malpractice case for it, which is a torts subject if anything, and then speaks up and wins his Prof’s respect (and thanks Soo-In for helping with the answer) with a constructive discharge question which is either employment or labor law. WTF? Ehhh, whatever. KRW looks so adorable once he finally wins through that I don’t care and the only coherent thought left in my head is ‘I’ll tutor you, KRW! I might not be a minisetring to AIDS patients Korean beauty, but I’ll do it for free!’ :P

Oh, and found this pic from some upcoming ep of Witch Yoo Hee:



and it’s cute and all but I cannot concentrate as it’s the exact jacket Jae Hee wore in Delightful Girl Chun0Hyang in the bus stop scene (don’t want to be spoilery but it’s one of my fave scenes ever) so my brain just goes into DGCH nostalgia mode!

And last but not least, I am incredibly excited. Apparently, not only is there a sub group forming to sub Mike He's Marry Me but the awesome DoReMi fansubs have picked up *hyperventilates* Vic Zhou's Love Storm for subbing. Vic is my favorite drama actor hands down and I wanted to see LS for ages. I even own the unsubbed DVDs and watched bits but OMG OMG OMG subs. Yeah, the plot might be 'love traingle' or what not and he's gotten better between then and Mars but I don't care. Because he looks GORGEOUS and he protects the heroine with his own body when the bad guy shoots the gun and there is hurt/comfort and happy endings and awesomeness.

YES.

And to add on another awesome note? Short preview for Bambino, Matsumoto Jun's new upcoming drama!

I have fallen in love with a very unfashionable movie: Vivaah.

Vivaah is a sweet, charming, very unpretentious Bollywood movie about two youngsters (Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao, both adorable here) who slowly fall in love with each other during the engagement for their arranged marriage, and said love overcomes some last minute hardships.

It’s a totally unfashionable movie to love, and actually even far from what I normally would go gaga over: there are no villains. There is not much melodrama even. There are a bunch of nice people, rather old-fashioned in their out-look, who go on with their lives and celebrations. The youngsters both voluntarily agree to the arranged marriage, and get to know each other and fall in love. There is no angsty lover lurking in the wings for a dramatic wedding denoument, to take the bride away. There are no evil relatives (Amrita’s aunt is cranky at her being prettier than her own daughter, but she hardly boils her in oil).

So why do I love it? It’s pretty, it’s sweet, it’s a traditional utopia of sorts, and sometimes I just want a fairytale, a bit of sweet unrealistic cinematic happiness, with adorable couples, and colorful dancing, and danger averted thrown in.

Perhaps significantly, Vivaah is by the rather old-fashioned fimmater Sooraj Barjatya, who revolutionized Bolly industry with his 1994 super hit Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, which its detractors (and I am one of them) labelled a three-hour-long wedding video, where nothing happens, but whose crazy blockbuster status led the shift to less violent, more romantic and family-oriented Bollywood fare. But since then, SB, even though his movies have done well, has been left in the dust, while the screen is ruled by the Westernized, much hipper spiritual descendants of him. (Karan Johar is very much SB’s disciple in his love of grand large happy families, festivals, etc, but he is like the young stylish nephew of the stodgy uncle: Western locales, cool melodrama, tongue-in-cheek humor). Interestingly, Vivaah was a huge hit last year, but most of its money came from B & C centers in India (smaller towns) as opposed to being popular with the hip urban multiplex crowd. And it was sort of left out of poppy awards too…

Ah well.

Just look at the pretty and tell me you don’t want to give the cuteness a try:

I have successfully downloaded Takki's Romeo & Juliet special. I love you, [livejournal.com profile] nihongofrancais for the clubbox link.

I know that a lot of people aren't fond of/can't use clubbox and the d-addicts torrents are probably wonky not just for me, so if there is interest, let me know and I'll upload it on Megaupload later in the week. Word of warning, it's a huge huge file. almost 11 hundred megs. (as opposed to really high quality Hanadan eps which were 700 megs or so).

ETA: Now I won't have to. Some kind person already took care of it. Here it is in MU.

And just because, the awsome youtube vid behind the cut is RAIN!!!

Rain speaking JAPANESE. And performing his 'Sad Tango.'

EEEE!

It's raining men )
