Oh, why did I stop with Ojakgyo Brothers on ep 36? I am so glad I continued because if I hadn't, I would have missed one of the most perfect shippy tender wonderful moments ever.
( Mutual comfort, romantic confessions, hugs, and wonderfulness )
Btw, I am getting the sense the drama wants me to feel mildly sorry for Tae Hee's dead Mom, but sorry, not buying, she was a horrible horrible woman to ditch Tae Hee forever. Ooooopsies, lady, guess what, you don't get takebacks from that sort of thing.
Backhugs! I approve!

May. 30th, 2012 04:44 pmFive minutes into Bridal Mask and !!!!!!!! It is everything I ever wanted and more!
!!!!!
Thank you thank you drama gods!
Proper post with thoughts and caps coming once I finish the ep, but for now, all I want to say is the things I want to do to Evil Joo Won, sitting ramrod-straight on his enormous horse and bellowing orders, while in uniform...well...better not go there.
;)

I confess despite my love for the screenwriter and the cast, I only checked out A Gentleman's Dignity due to boredom. Dramas about 30+/40+ singles interest me about as little as romcoms do, which is not at all. So it was a bit shocking to discover just how much I enjoyed the first two breezy episodes, and how down I felt when I realized I had to wait for the weekend for another dose.
The story is nothing new but the charm is in the execution - the snappy dialogue and the vastly experienced cast turn things that often annoy me into yet another thing to enjoy - I can easily see Jang Dong Gun's and Kim Ha Neul's characters, for example, being grating in other hands. But as it is, Jang Dong Gun is a combo of charming, irritating, and intense in one very alluring package. And Kim Ha Neul takes a trope that normally drives me up the wall, and makes me love her scattered, talks-to-herself, indomitable character. It helps that JDG is smitten at first sight (even if he shows it the way a fifth grader would) while she couldn't care less about the picky weirdo.
Of course, I can understand why not everyone is smitten. What I find quirky and charming, others may find overly precious. But then I've loved everything by this writer so far - Lovers, On Air, City Hall, Secret Garden. I really think the red string scene in episode 1 is a great litmus test.






If you find it contrived and teeth-on-edge, you should skip this drama. If, like me, you find it romantic and funny and cute and off-beat, this is likely to be a drama for you.
I don't know how much my honeymoon with AGD will continue. A lot of times, those breezy light dramas lose me before the halfway mark because I crave drama and angst. But for now, I am fully on board. Bring it on, you smart, snappy, funny darling, you! And I am not just referring to Jang Dong Gun :)
