My Baek Dong Soo dilemma
Jul. 26th, 2011 09:02 amSo, I finished ep 5 and I have a dilemma.
I vastly prefer the guy on the right to the guy on the left. One issue. On the left, is our protagonist, Baek Dong Soo. On the right is our eventual antagonist and future ruthless killer Yeo Woon.
Yet, I am Team Dude On the Right.
The thing is, for one, while neither of these guys does it for me on a hormonal level (too young!), Yoo Seung Ho is a much better actor than Ji Chang Wook. Also, while I don't hate him, Dong Soo is very much not my character type - loud, immature but good-hearted and with a heroic destiny really is not my bag. Now, Yeo Woon has been cursed from birth to be a bloody assassin and thus was brought up in psycho fashion and just overall has an interesting character arc, being on the good guys' side for now.
While we are on heresies, this lady is awesome:
I want her with Dong Soo instead of him hooking up with noble lady:
It helps that I ship Noble Lady with Assassin.
This drama is making me go to uncanonical hell.
You do NOT want to know what I had to do to crosspost this + copied my dw post manually on my bberry and posted this way. Yikes.

I enter noncanonical shipping hell
Jul. 26th, 2011 09:07 amExcuse me? Are you telling me they are not the OTP?
OK, now you are just fucking with me, drama!
( Wherein Mousie presents her two supposedly uncanonical OTPs )
FYI, cross-posting to LJ is still not working for me so I am doing insane manual laptop-bberry thing. I am a true addict.

I worry for my sanity.
Tbh, I do not expect happy ending for either of these. My money is on Yeo Woon dying and Ji Sun becoming a nun (and that is not even getting into the whole "Ji Sun might end up liking Dong Soo later" business). And as to Cheon/Ji, yeah. Picket fences are not happening. And not just because she loves Gwang Taek (who is awesome and I ship him with Ji as well).
( OTP!!OTP!!!OTP!!! Of repressed and screwed up young future assassins with a cursed destiny and poised but steely, reserved but messed up court ladies cum nuns-in-training who carry a map which might result in future assassin being ordered to kill her one day )
On a different note:
( Two assassins together. It's bloody awesome and yes, the pun is intended )

I am beyond obsessed
Jul. 26th, 2011 11:14 pmI am only about five minutes into The Princess' Man but I am gasping for breath, borderline crying, and already utterly obsessed. I haven't seen an opening this good and grim and gorgeous since Chuno.
We open on a sepia credit sequence which took my breath away:
And we learn very quickly that a political massacre is going on - Prince Sooyang (who later becomes king) orders his political opponents and their families exterminated and the one escapee, Park Shi Hoo's character, is actually nothing of the sort - he's been allowed to let go so he, unsuspecting, would lead them to his father, Prince Sooyang's chief opponent and number 1 murder goal. When the assassins arrive, he tries to save his father but is very outnumbered and soon, he's cut down and his father dies in front of his eyes.
And as he lies there, likely dying, he flashes back to this:
Did I mention she is the beloved daughter of Prince Sooyang, the man who ordered the massacre? And our hero's one true love?
Yeah. When Korea says it's going to do a Joseon Romeo & Juliet, it doesn't fuck around. The death toll in this drama is going to be insane. Chances of it ending happily? 0.08%, give or take.
I'd watch more but I must go to bed. ARGH! I bet I will dream of this. I believe I have found my new, post-City Hunter obsession.
