I am not going to talk about Gaksital because I am still pissed off, so let's talk about something that makes me happy - namely ep 7 of Arang and the Magistrate, the twisty, spooky delight.

To the Beautiful You - ep 7
Sep. 6th, 2012 11:03 pmAwww, my fluffy drama, you made me cry a bit today.
I confess the first half of the episode wasn't my favorite - it was heavily Eun Gyul-centric and I have never been interested in any incarnation of Nakatsu in the slightest. Sure, Tae Joon's jealousy was cute, but that is about it.
But then we got the second half. Sure, Jae Hee in trouble and Tae Joon rescues her is an utter cliche (and one this drama adores to use) but hey - I am easy, it works for me beautifully every time. And I love the way she runs into his arms and the way he hesitates for a second and then his hand holds her and he keeps stroking her hair. And then he sees she is still terrified, so he takes her hand. I know Jae Hee has the common sense of a house plant but how she is not wondering either whether (a) Tae Joon has figured out she is a girl; or (b) Tae Joon is the most openly gay student in the school, is beyond me. Does she think straight dudes normally hug other dudes, stroke their hair, hold their hand, and kneel to fix their shoes? And let them hold them? Must have been some city in America she lived in!
I do love what a good guy Tae Joon is - he is that rarest of kdrama rarities - a kdrama hero it would be good to date in real life. And we get more of his backstory with his mother and I confess I teared up. No wonder he has trauma but I love how he is trying to work through it and how contained he is (even at his lowest, he just became surly and detached, he never lashed out at others). And I loved that Jae Hee held him and also that they ended up watching that movie he never finished with his mother, together.

Bring on ep 8!
