Damn your self-sufficiency, Jin Jin! We almost had a piggyback ride there!

Ep 17 is just delightful and delicious so far. I don't love Thugboy/Ballerina any less but somewhere in the teens eps my love for Jin Jin/Kang Suk got to such proportions that they are easily tying for my favorite couple in the drama.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Also, nice to know Creeper is some sort of serial/multiple murderer.

It is impossible to get cuter!

Human-speak: "Would you like to go out with me? I have tickets to this really good musical."
Kang Suk-speak: "A person like you, who isn't musically inclined, needs to open her ears by listening to good music. We'll attend a musical tomorrow."




Jin Jin is as amused by this as I am.




( but before that, there was this )

In case you haven't figured it out yet, Robot Boy/Jin Jin are now my favorite OTP of the drama, surpassing Thugboy/Ballerina, who I still do love. Also, even though I am 18 eps in, Kang Suk has yet to wear anything that offends me - I think more drama designers should go that route - suits/jogging clothes/boxing trunks is a very very safe and yummy route.

Only simply the best OTP ever

And now I need to lie down. I am not coherent enough for further watching after this.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

I was just checking my Gloria files to see they dled OK and this is what I found in episode 26.

All inside the cut as ultra-spoilery.

( Thugboy/Ballerina - I CAN'T BREATHE NOW OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG )

It's official. As of where I am at (ep 21), Gloria has become my favorite drama of 2010. Sorry, Chuno, you are still awesome but you are n2 now.

And I prove my insanity

I had to pause Gloria because I literally burst into tears like an idiot and am sitting here typing while sniffling.

Kang Suk got Jin Jin roses, you guys.

You have no idea.

I don't mean he bought them for her as a romantic gesture, no, he knew she was going to her nightclub gig afterwards and she always runs out and buys roses before the gig so her handicapped older sister can sell them, and so he went and bought them, pre-wrapped, for her, so she wouldn't have to go buy them, and then came back where she was working late at another job and offered her a ride and then gave those to her.

And so I am totally sniffling like an utter moron. But! But! It got me because it wasn't a pretty but ultimately useless romantic gesture which giving her a bouquet would have been. No, instead it's such an unexpectedly thoughtful, caring, perfect thing to do.

And I am an idiot. So there.

But but but but...he shows his caring by things like this and having a water heater installed in her place so she won't have to worry about scalding her sister while bathing her and sharing a take-out order with her because the delivery place won't send only one order up and and and - I don't know. They are all practical important things and guuuuuuh. And this is before they are dating or he expressed any open interest in her or anything.

Also, how come this drama has the best conversations? My latest favorite is this one between Jin Jin and Kang Suk from ep 20.

( Conversation, from ep 20, translations courtesy of haruharu )

Have a Ji Jin/Kang Suk MV. It's not super crisp, video-quality-wise, but the clips are awesome.

ETA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! She just (a) guessed he was going to the fight club (b) told him while she understands why he likes to go, she wishes he wouldn't. And when he asked why, she said "because you get hurt." Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! His face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OK, I need to be on some sort of medication.

Three exciting upcoming dramas plus a ramble on my watching schedule

1. The fantasy/comedy/melodrama (yes, all of these) Secret Garden about an icy businessman and a tough stuntwoman who swap bodies and fall in love starring Hyun Bin, Ha Ji Won, Yoon Sang Hyun and Lee Philip starts this weekend. They released this amazing, swoony MV. Oh, I am melting just thinking about it.

One distraction - Hyun Bin is normally drop-dead gorgeous, but he really needs to eat here!

2. The trailer for the drama about lives of college students in a musical department, What's Up is finally out. I am very excited in part because Im Ju Hwan is the lead and that man deserves more fame than he has, but even more so because it is written by the writer of Eyes of Dawn/Sandglass/Kaist/Legend/Slingshot, i.e. a woman who has yet to write a bad drama. I love the vibe of the trailer.

It is a bit weird to hear "This is the Moment" in Korean :)

3. This one is a bit mixed for me - the upcoming drama about the stockmarket, Midas has just landed Mr Intense, a.k.a. Jang Hyuk for the leading role!!!!!!!!! (So much more my thing than his earlier rumored now squashed participation in Poseidon). A fly in the ointment - Lee Min Jung is the leading lady. Now, I know a lot of flisties like her, but she is my least favorite drama actress bar none. I will grit my teeth and ff through her scenes and, who knows, maybe a miracle will occur and I will like her.

So far, these are the dramas I am following:

M/T dramas - the charming, quirky, irresistable Mary Stayed Out All Night and stomp-out-my-heart Giant are both a go. I also have the first four eps of Queen of Reversals all raring to go as soon as I finish my Gloria marathon. I love the cast so if the story is halfway decent, I am in. Which means I will be watching three M/T dramas, which is sort of insane. No Dr Champ for me though - it sounds about as much fun as eating paint.

W/R dramas - only Daemul for me. Love it so much. Fugitive is a waste of time and I can't even remember the name or actors in the MBC drama, that's how little it interested me.

S/S dramas - my obsession and true love Gloria. Plus when Secret Garden starts, it is a must (though I will wait for a batch of subs). I want to check out Let's Get Married, which is in full swing, because of the wonderful Lee Jong Hyuk having (finally) a leading role, but it may have to wait until a slot opens.

Random question - why are there no dramas on Fridays and what do they show then?
