The Princess' Man - episode 7

[dangermousie]

Of all the airing dramas, I love TPM the most, but I am horribly behind because I always want to block huge chunks of uninterrupted time so I can wallow and have no distractions. Which is hard.



I keep adoring Sejo - he is a monster who is using his own daughter's feelings to commit a horrible act of political murder; he is a wannabe usurper; he convinces SY's friend that friend should kill SY as a favor to SY because SY will be miserable with his family dead etc. But he is so ruthless and smart and ice-cold that you just know he will be an incredibly effective king.

Watching SR and SY be happy is pretty terrifying at this stage because you just know what is coming. He wants to marry her even though he thinks she is not an aristocrat; they flirt with fans and are just generally the sweetest, sanest couple ever. If...
























































I feel horrifically sorry for both Kyung Hee and Jung - of course she lashes out at him - he is the symbol of everything that went wrong, of lack of control in her life (out of all the characters, she is the most constrained). But he is a nice person who tries to do all these sweet things and keeps getting rebuffed and doesn't even get mad. I hope they do work it out eventually because pretty soon, with Sejo's coup, they will only have each other to rely on.

OMG, I cannot wait to watch more. It sounds amazing.

Btw, I didn't even notice any typos!

I can't wait until you watch more as well so that I can talk about it without spoiling anything. The drama is getting better and better. It's a delicious angst feast. I think you're going to love it+

And (this is not really a spoiler, don't worry) I got my wish to see Ninja!Seung Yoo...well, sort of. The new haircut and clothes suit him.

Now I'm off to watch the firtt half of episode 13 subbed (watched it raw already yesterday). I recently became a QC at Viki and it's heaven. I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. I highly recommend it by the way. With your Russian skills, you'd totally be able to it easily. It took me about a day of subbing to get qualified and now I have access to all the channels. I'm going to help the French team over at the TPM channel now that I have access.

Hmmm, I never even thought of being a Russian subber. That is not a bad idea :) Thanks for planting it in my brain :)

It can be a fairly easy process. It only took me about a day to get the status. I did a lot of French transcript and a bit of English-->French translation over at the Viki Scoop channel that's open to everyone to show the administrators that I could also do some translation work.

I asked for the QC status when I had about 820 subtitles (for comparison purposes, an episode of The Princess' Man typically has between 500 and 700 lines of dialogue). The viki 101 page says you should have 500~1000 subtitles so I tried my luck when I got midway between those two numbers. Working in the Scoop channel was kind of fun. I learned all kind of stuff about Korean celebrities.

Being a QC opens a lot of doors. All of Viki is accessible and the subbers work fast. 24 hours after the episode aired, episode 13 of TPM was at 80%. Bliss. I've already started my French translation whereas before, I wouldn't have been able to do that for quite a few days yet.
