Mmmmm Myung Wol

[dangermousie]

If you read this journal with any regularity, you know that kdrama romcoms and I don't really mesh and haven't for the last few years. Hybrid kdramas with some romcom elements I can fall madly for (Secret Garden and Prosecutor Princess come to mind) but proper romcoms I have truly loved in the last few years - I think the count is at zero. The closest I came to was with Mary Stayed Out Last Night, where I bailed by ep 12, but first the first 2/3 of the drama very addictive as far as the OTP went even as I disliked everything else.

That is why I continue to be completely shocked that I am adoring Myung Wol the Spy so. There is no question MW is every inch a romcom. And yet I am so so so so addicted. Despite my romcom trepidation, I checked out MW for two reasons (1) I find Eric hella sexy and (2) the story synopsis - North Korean agent ordered to seduce and marry a Hallyu star - was going to be good or bad but would always be interesting. But I did not expect to really love it. Imagine my shock when, eight episodes in, I am still addicted - I laugh, I find the story (such as it is - it's a romcom, thus not particularly plot driven) interesting, and I swoon like mad at the OTP chemistry. And unlike with Mary (or Heartstrings), I like the drama in general, not just suffer through the other bits to get to the OTP. I cannot wait to watch eps 9 and 10, which is what I plan on doing as soon as I post this, in fact.

Also, in ep 8, KW found out MW was after him for ulterior motives (though not that she is a NK agent :P)




Please tell me this will result in another angsty shower scene:



Oh, and ep 8 was the one with this. Finally. Mmmmmm.





Bring on more! This MV, which includes stuff from 9 and 10, makes me salivate.

YES! You're finally catching up on it!

I'm so obsessed with this drama it's not even funny. I took a gazillion screencaps of episodes 9 and 10 (and it's not something I usually do)... and I laughed, feared and cried as I watched them.

And then I rewatched scenes from episode 10. Even now I feel the urge to watch them again! =O

Not to mention browsing through Tumblr looking at good manips and GIFs.

Hope to see you post more about it!

PS: That kiss scene seriously made my heart flip. It looked so passionate, so spontaneous! As if Kang Woo was holding on to his sanity (controlling his lust) by a thread and Myung Wol's small kiss immediately broke it and he kissed her senseless!

djhsajgfdjk this show. it is screwing with me now and i'm sure bts complications are going to wreak havoc but when these two are on screen together nothing even matters.

also that kiss was made by the look on his face when she kissed him first?? and then: neck. ERIIIIIC. he is so good at this. ;\

I know, he totally looked stunned and so vulnerable. Hottttt.


The bts stuff better get fixed asap - I could live with a couple of eps cut, but if it gets cancelled OMG I will expire. I finally find a romcom i love and the leading lady turns out to be insane?

I know! Their chemistry is so insane and adult. I keep expecting him to just make out with her on the ground right there and now.

I know - I am so obsessed, it's insane.

o are lj notifs being delayed again, i think so. o_O

did you watch ep 11? i don't think it's properly subbed as yet anyway, but by all accounts it wasn't that bad? it seems poor eric's doing his best to soothe the awkward. dare we hope?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Not yet, I plan to!

Also, SHE IS COMING BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
