Ahhh, superhero fun!

We just got back from Captain America, which wasn't bad but didn't grab me as much as the Iron Man movies or Thor (those I adored). Didn't help that (a) Chris Evans is not really my cup of tea (b) love interest was boring - I spent most of the movie slashing him with his BFF (c) come on, make the Nazis the antagonists, not some Nazi-type group.

I am usually not a picky action/superhero fangirl (I loved GI Joe) but this was merely OK.

Two best things about the movie? After the credits, they show a teaser for The Avengers and I want want want want! Any movie that has Samuel L. Jackson, Tony Stark AND Thor in it, is getting my fangirl money and hormones asap.

Second thing? They showed a trailer for John Carter (which used to be 'John Carter of Mars since it is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs book of the same name, but I guess they thought it would be unhip or something) and I would have been making grabby hands at the screen if possible. Read the book ages ago and enjoyed it - I am very prone to cheesy Victorian/Edwardian adventure novels. Plus, any movie that stars Taylor Kitsch (what an appropriate last name!) as a long-haired angsty warrior wearing little more than leather straps has my vote of approval. Trailer:

Not so good? The trailer for new Spiderman. Ugh! The first of the three Raimi Spidey movies was less than 10 years ago, why on earth does it need a reboot? Also, it looks horrible and the leading man is just - no. Tobey Maguire was perfect in the role despite not looking like my dream man. This guy is the blandest thing since sliced bread, perfect for the boring trailer. People in our theater actually laughed at it, which doesn't bode well.

Preview for ep 5 of Myung Wol is giving me serious palpitations

ETA: apparently it's not a preview for ep 5, just a music video shot for the drama. Oh well, I love it anyway!



I am in the middle of ep 4 still (proper post coming) but I cheated and watched the preview for ep 5 and oh my heart my heart my heart my heart:

( A few caps from the preview )

My obsession with this drama looks to eventually catch up with my love for City Hunter or, at least, help me get over it ending.

You know me and romcoms - for the last few years, the kdrama ones rarely work for me. I don't even end up liking them, let alone obsessing over them the way I am hyperventilating over Myung Wol. I think it's because, like Secret Garden or Prosecutor Princess (the only two dramas with romcom elements I loved in the last few years), it's not really a romcom but a mix of genres. Also, I genuinely adore and care for all the characters - slightly dim Hallyu star Kang Woo (is Eric sex on legs or what? I am not sure how genuinely good this drama is because every time he's on screen I go into hormonal haze), unworldly but tough North Korean agent Myung Wol, Ryu, the sexiest Communist to exist, and even the spoiled, divaish, but entertaining In A (I have a thing for dramatic bitches - see my love for Seul in Secret Garden).

Guuuh, waiting for The Princess' Man subs is haaaaard

It's about 75% at DS and as soon as it hits 90%, I am so there. I've been checking it ten times a day. At this rate, I might not even bother waiting because I waaaaant.

Maybe I'll quench my thirst by watching Heartstrings and Warrior Baek Dong Soo as I haven't seen the latest eps yet.

Yes, this post has no point.
