Please let this drama rumor be true!

I am sure some kdrama junkies on my flist remember how a few years ago, Four Seasons was bandied about as a possibly upcoming drama. To say that Dangerousie was an excited little mousie would be a vast understatement. It was supposed to be written by Lee Kyung Hee (Sang-Do, A Love to Kill, Thank You etc), a.k.a. one of my favorite drama-writers and be the drama comeback of both Rain and Jeon Ji Hyun as a mercenary and a journalist respectively. For whatever reason, the project fell through, LKH went on to write the wonderful Will It Snow On Christmas and Rain went on to star, much less wonderfully, in the trainwreck that was Fugitive. And I wrote off this drama for good.

BUT.

BUT.

Apparently, just like Daemul, Four Seasons may just be the zombie that refuses to die, because apparently this is one of the dramas Jo In Sung is considering as his drama come-back once he's out of the army.

Let's pause.

And have this sink in.

Did it sink in yet?

...

...

...

OH MY GOD!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!

It's exciting enough that this project may yet happen with anyone, because LKH is one of two of my favorite kdrama screenwriters (NYK being the other), but Jo In Sung? Jo In Sung. He hasn't done a drama since 2005 and he is, IMO, one of the best k-ent actors working out there today (have you seen Dirty Carnival? I had shivers for hours, afterwards). He blew everyone else out of the water and MADE the drama for me in Something Happened in Bali, so the thought of him back doing a drama, and a LKH drama (he is so good at angst/nuance/melodrama combo she excels at) - OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. Please please, drama gods, make this happen!

I approve

While I confess that more often than not Thirteen drives me nuts (hello! meddling with Eight/Qing Chuan's wedding night should be some sort of capital offense) and I think Mongolian Shigeru could do way way better, I loved this scene so freaking much! Love that she made the move (clearly, the gal is a kissing bandit :P) and that she told him an apology/giving her sole thing he has from his mother won't do (for his past behavior) but that he has to spend the rest of his life with her as an atonement. And when he tells her that - hello, he just got a sentence of life imprisonment in some dark cell so she should reconsider, she tells him her talent is lighting lamps so it's OK.






Be still my heart.

Though I presume she didn't have to light too many lamps, because Kang Xi is going to keel over in a few more episodes and I am pretty sure Four will let Thirteen out ASAP when that happens.

I approve

Kdrama Central - 49 Days

After 4 eps of 49 Days it's official. I don't care if Han Kang gets together with Ji Hyun in her own body or Ji Hyun in Yi Kyung's body, but get together they must. I ship them more than rabidly.



How are they so wonderful?

( A few more samples )

I like Jung Il Woo's scheduler, but he's not human enough for me to ship with anyone. Yet, at least.

I don't really get all the bashing of Nam Gyuri. I think she's doing a fine job - I like her character, sympathize with her, etc (and no, no just when she's in Yi Kyung's body, played by Lee Yo Won). Is LYW a better actress? Yes. Does that mean NGR is doing a bad job? Not at all.

Other thing I don't get it people shipping Han Kang with Yi Kyung herself. People are obviously entitled to ship however and whoever they like, I just don't get it, since not only did HK/YK had zero interactions, we know very little of YK or her personality or what she is like - she's been barely seen and even then as a walking zombie. Once we learn more of her, perhaps, but for now it seems odd.

I am trying to figure out which of the rules that Scheduler gave JH will cause danger/get broken:

* She needs three pure tears from three unrelated people. Without those people knowing she is JH who needs them, which is pretty tricky. I mean, I am sure Han Kang's tears, if he cried, would be the pure tears she needs, but why would he suddenly start bawling e.g. on day 45? I wonder who'd provide them, actually. Her scumbag fiance and best friend surely don' qualify. Han Kang is one person. Her other friend? Yi Kyung herself, somehow? Maybe even the Scheduler? Hmmm.

* She can't reveal to anyone who she is, or else that amulet around her neck breaks and she dies. But what if someone figures it out? That would be delicious, her having to deny it. Hmmmm. Who knows if it will happen, but I like contemplating the possibility.

* This is the biggie. Assuming she gets her 3 tears and doesn't die but comes back into her body - will she remember anything of these 49 days wondering as a spirit/in YK's body? I can't see he divine being in charge allowing people to wonder around with detailed knowledge of the afterlife. But then - if she doesn't remember anything, how would it go on? Fine, fiance and best friend would probably be out of the picture due to plot developments prior, but she wouldn't recognize the human version of Scheduler (provided that hint about him becoming human was just that) and all her time with/experience with Han Kang and possibly seeing him differently wouldn't happen. So what then...
