The Princess' Man - ep 16; My Girlfriend is a Gumiho - ep 7

[dangermousie]

These two kdramas have nothing in common, but I have spammed enough recently, so this post combines two topics.



The more time goes on, the more I adore them and the more anxious I am that no harm will come to either one. I love their changes - Miho becoming more human and Dae Woong growing up. It's my bright bit of joy in period drama angst I am wallowing atm.
































































This ep was light on OTP interaction (until that amazing last scene) but I find the political nuances, and the plots and counterplots, equally fascinating. I do think that by now, SY's revenge is his crutch for living so that is why he is not letting go - that is his justification for being the sole survivor. It is also completely unhealthy (ignoring blood on own face, writing messages on corpse you just made in said corpse's blood is not a badge of sanity). I really wish he'd let the Prof. get on with the doomed rebellion and try to salvage some semblance of a life. It will be harder to cling bare-knuckled to revenge, once he discovers Ah Kang and her Mom are alive. He'll have some other reason to live for, I hope. Also, that last scene - was anyone reminded on Chuno? The scene where Dae Gil was looking for Un Nyun among those cloths. I loved that in that scene, SY looked startled, young, open, alive. I just want him this way forever.

One final note - more and more people know SY is alive. Clearly, he's never heard of 'two people can keep a secret only if one of them is dead.'

That one reminded me of City Hunter actually. The scene at the lab where NN grabs YS to hide him from YJ. You see the nad that comes out, the male character being draw into a secret place, and they the face of the girl. It's the same scene move for move except for the "knife at your throat" thing YS pulled in CH.

Yeah, more and more people know about SY being alive. From what I saw of the preview for episode 17, a bunch of scholars will also know. But unless there's traitor in their ranks, they're the type who will bbite their own tongue and die before selling out a comrade. Looksl ike SY is going to give them a hand in that doomed rebellion thing. Uh oh...he's cheated death too many times already. I have a bad feeling about this unless they deal with the rebellion in only a couple of episodes because then we know SY has to stay alive until episodes 24. But I rather thought it would be the focus of the entire last part of the drama so that they would be able to keep the actors playing Kyung Hye and Jeong Jong as long as possible.

They are already going into the rebellion? Wow, that is fast. I guess I better prep saying bye to JJ. Misery.

Yeah, I thought of City Hunter too.

Gah...

You see the nad was supposed to be "You see the hand "

I cheated and watched a little of whats been subbed for ep 17. It's a painful wait for subs. I've had a late start for this drama, so I had so many episodes backing up my wait, but once I pasted episode 8 the episodes just flew by so fast and before I know I'm waiting like the rest. It feels like when you're watching a video clip on slow internet and you're so happy you have so much loaded, but before you know it you're at buffering phase.

Ohhh, I know. I was behind so watched 6 eps in a binge and now I have to wait and it's murder.
