I think I am having the vapors...

Now I know they are doomed.



Well, at least she's properly ashamed of herself. Well, either that, or she's upset over braining her husband with a shovel. Not sure which.

Joking aside, I am totally addicted to this drama even though I loathe everyone in it except for the OTP.

I really loved the scene where Lanyan found the town magistrate and told him she killed her husband. So calmly. But not before burning the money with which Playboy was going to buy her freedom so as not to incriminate him. I just love this scene for so many reasons:

a. Even though she's bound in the traditional role forced on her by society, Lanyan has a spine of steel. To do that - to dispose of the evidence and then to voluntarily come out and confess, not hide or try to come up with an excuse or try to use Playboy's prestige as a shield - she's amazing.
b. First Love's reaction - he can't believe it "you are so kind, how can you kill a man?" and her reply "life is hard, everything changes." Because that is why First Love is not worthy of her and never will be worthy of her - he doesn't love the real Lanyan, he loves this constructed image in his head that has little to do with her. He's happier relinquishing her because that way his fantasy doesn't have to come in contact and conflict with reality. And because it is all his fault. He left the woman he claimed he loved (and who loved him) in the clutches of a man he knew was an abuser, a rape-enabler, a total piece of scum because he felt "sorry" for the man. He put feeling "noble" about the very basic well-being of the woman he "loved." Yeah. Go die.
c. Lanyan can love to an amazing degree. See her protecting Playboy (who, true, didn't kill hubby, but Lanyan killed hubby to protect him). But, at last, she's found someone worthy of being loved/protected because, I bet anything, Playboy isn't going to let her do this - he will try to either save her or share her punishment. And I am so glad that, for once, her efforts are for someone worthy.

ETA: She's sentenced to death??????!!! She's obviously going to get out of it or it will be a very short drama, but I have no idea how. And I am glad Playboy didn't disappoint me. The second he heard she was arrested, he was going to go and find her/confess/try to get her out/etc only his mother (for once I totally get her) had him locked up and under guard because she doesn't want her sole son to be offed for murder.

As close to my ideal cast as it gets

Sweet Scandal, the drama that seemingly replaced Poseidon on SBS schedule, has as its rumored cast Lee Seo Jin, Park Shi Hoo and Yoon Eun Hye.

Permit me a brief moment to hyperventilate.

I have adored YEH since Goong, which was one of my earliest dramas, her warm vibe, sheer likeability and impeccable comic timing makes even a badly-made drama like My Fair Lady much more bearable than it otherwise would have been and when she has worthwhile material - oh boy!

Park Shi Hoo is notorious for stealing the show from underneath the leading men (when he's playing second lead) and his reputation is well-deserved but if there is a leading man who can hold his own against someone as magnetic as PSH, it is Lee Seo Jin who, in addition to being one of the most effortlessly masculine kdrama guys out there, is IMO one of the best kdrama actors - fierce and magnetic. I've loved him in every single thing I've seen him in, period or contemporary. Plus, he always has wicked chemistry with his leading ladies.

The writer is giving me a bit of a pause - he or she wrote the atrocious Heading to the Ground. But I am going to hold out hope he/she has improved since then or HTTG was a fluke.

Even with a flawed writer, this is still miles more interesting to me than Poseidon which deals with a topic that bores me to death (coast guard - blah) and has a cast which leaves me cold (KKW holds no interest for me. Eric had one great performance in QSS but a series of mediocre performances otherwise, and anything that keeps Yunho and his attempts at "acting" off my screen is a good thing).

So hooray!

Now, give me What's Up!
