Because I forgot to crosspost this from LJ

I am in love with Protect the Boss!!!! Giddily giddily giddily so!!!!

Also, Ji Sung! ((())) Someone on my flist said he was like a non-violent Domyouji and so very very true. Heeeeeeeee.

Heroine is tough and awesome and the whole thing is squeeful and a propoer post is coming up but now I must marathon!

Clearly, there is no Ji Sung drama that doesn't work for me :P

Also, if you want to know why I was boggled why Ji Sung, of all people, was the male lead in his wacky wacky comedy, have the MV for his last drama prior to that (the criminally underrated, very dark The Royal Family):

That is the type of drama I associate him with, not wackiness...So I still remain stunned that he could pull off being comedic lead.

ETA: !!!!!!!!!!







I wonder why he's so badly agoraphobic (not that you need a reason for phobias, of course). I do love the gender reversal, of her being the one to cut a swath through a crowd of gangsters and him being a screw-up neurotic.

Actually, it reminds me a bit of Secret Garden in that dynamic (or the cousinly one) only SG was very much a romance and this is much more of a comedy. (Also, there is no way I will be as obsessed about PtB as I was about SG - that was insanity).

(no subject)

He's so very pretty! And actually not in a drama which makes me want to stab self in the eye (I am looking at you, Sunao ni Narenakute!)



I really hope he won't chase after heroine but instead have an awesome secondary OTP with Wang Ji Hye. I do wonder wtf is wrong with him to feel jealous of and want to one-up Ji Heon when JH is a screw-up who can't get anything right and he's the golden boy. That's like beating on a puppy - pretty pointless and kinda mean.

Speaking of JH - three eps, and my impression of him is that he's basically this overgrown kid - impulsive like one, scared like one (he can't sleep without lights on!) and clingy and emotionally vulnerable like one. He and heroine have a pretty adorable, interesting dynamic. She almost mothers him, but not in an icky Oedipal way. There are hints he used to be normal until something happened (I wonder if it was the death of his brother or maybe something else - there is a flashback at the airport with WJH's character where he was going to meet her but then got a phone call, freaked out and got his panic attack in a crowded place - maybe that is why he has agoraphobia, he associates it with whatever he found out on the call). Hmmmm.

All caught up with Protect the Boss (no spoilers)

Have just finished ep 6 and the verdict is in - it's a cute fun fluffy-light drama that I enjoy a lot but do not love because the switch has never flipped on for me. Probably because this isn't even a romcom but an office drama/comedy with some romantic undertones and it's a miracle enough I like it, considering my dislike for both of those genres. For me to really fall in love, the drama usually has to be very intense, and sweet, cute PtB is the opposite of that.

Still, it's a very fun way to while away a rainy afternoon, and I plan to keep going.

In other news, I am taking a little break from Family Honor. I finished with ep 31 and there is a bit of a lull and happiness and I need to catch my breath and get ready for what will, undoubtedly, be the next round of angst.
