Four Women Conflict - as makjang as ever

Some of you may remember my obsessing over period cdrama Four Women Conflict back in the spring.

I finally had to stop midway through because it was too angsty and overwrought even for me to take in one sitting. I mean it. FWC makes the most overwrought, makjang kdrama seem like a cheery slice-of-life romcom.



But of course, I cannot stay away for long, so I continue my foray in the world of the angstiest, most star-crossed lovers ever, the whole town full of psychos (I literally want everyone in this dead except for Playboy/Heroine) and, especially, Puppy Killer. We cannot forget Puppy Killer!



Also, I'd say that this drama gives me the worst, miserable wedding ever (courtesy of the psycho mom of Playboy) but that is not true because the winner for that title is heroine's first wedding. At least she is not married off against her will to a disgusting abuser who sells her off to a rapist on the wedding night.

Yeah, it's that type of cheery drama.

What I really want is for the heroine to snap and go on a murderous rampage through the town. I am sure Playboy will help.

Princess' Man - ep 8

Watching this ep was about as cheerful as putting your hand through a meat-grinder. I guess that is what I get for watching a kdrama which bills itself as an epic tragedy. Out of all the devastation, for some reason it is this scene that got me the most. So close, yet so out of reach.




( Spoilery for the ep )

In news of other, more cheerful period dramas, my my my, HK period pieces are very...liberal. I think kdrama censors would faint at this scene from Relics of an Emissary and I didn't even cap the horizontal bits!

The Princess' Man - episode 9

If there is one drama which is giving City Hunter a run for its money as my favorite drama of 2011, it's The Princess' Man. The OTP kills me (separately and together), every character is exquisitely fleshed out, and the brutal politics of a coup (the focus of this ep) is just as fascinating as the romance.

Without a doubt, ep 9 belongs to Park Shi Hoo's Seung Yu, as his world is destroyed and he goes through hell.

I spent most of the ep clutching my arms and gasping.

The Princess' Man - eps 11-12

On the minus side, his world is over. On the plus side, I don't think he's ever looked hotter. Park Shi Hoo is a gorgeous man in any event, but I've never seen him look this to-die-for before.
