Beautiful Dysfunction

[dangermousie]

To say I am rabid about these two is an understatement.

Mmmmmm. He's so fucked up and intense and good at killing things and she's so bubbly and sane and sweet (where I am at. Knowing this drama, she won't stay this way for long). Mmmmmm. I totally LOLed at their first meeting, when he was reciting some supremely depressing poem about flowers withering etc and she interrupted and was all 'stop being so emo, they'll grow back next spring.' LOLOLOL In this drama they'd probably be bulldozed forever instead, and then a puppy would be killed on their remains.

Speaking of emo, I honestly don't get the Liancheng/Fuya fangirls. I mean, everyone can ship what they like, but I just don't get it. He plotted to have her father killed and blackmailed her into a relationship. That's not really a basis for undying happiness. Not that being with Qiyou is a bowl of roses, either - the man makes me want to time-travel a platoon of shrinks back to ancient China - but Fuya loves him so there is that. With Liancheng, other than on general principles, she wouldn't care if he expired at her feet.

Well, we'll see. I am not too far in, because I need subs. If there ever were official DVDs with subs, I'd go rabid.

Btw, speaking of trainwrecks, viki picked up Sealed with a Kiss for subing. Yes, the one with Hawick Lau playing our protagonist, a psycho who blackmails the heroine into becoming his mistress by threatening to put her uncle in jail. He is not in love with her or anything - he just wants revenge on her father. I will probably be checking it out of sheer morbid curiosity. Well, morbid curiosity and hoping she stabs him with scissors.

In other drama news, I am sure everyone has heard by now, but What's Up is finally going to air this winter. EEEEEE!

Also, I've been in a bit of a kdrama slump (I am sure you've figured it out) but now subs for first 3 eps of Man of Honor are out and I know what I am doing with my free time.

On a final note, I am still slowly but surely working my way through My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and loving it - the character growth is so organic and gradual and wonderful and Miho/Woong are amazing together.

Just about everyone seems to be in a k-drama slump, me included. As it is, I haven't watched any sort of dramas in a while. Well, appart from Vampire Prosecutor, that is. ;P I'm rather loving that one.

So, someone finally picked up What's Up? *goes off to check* Cable again? Is k-cable on the roll or what these days.

Hi five ~ watching Vampire Prosecutor too. It's different from the usual kdrama fanfare angst/romance, the cases are pretty intriguing and bold. Was it because it's on a cable tv?

Yeah, it's very weird for me.

Yan Kuan is my new Chinese crush right now

Hope you get your English sub soon! Heard that they actually cut 8 episodes out (yeap, the version we see on TV and online is shorter), hopefully they release the DVD version soon.

The last few episodes had me crying like crazy...

I hope so too.

Yeah been mostly watching CDramas, not so many KDramas. I think all that BS that I learned about live shoots made me less enthusiastic because now I feel sort of guilty watching dramas that seem to validate that sort of abuse. Also, Sealed with a Kiss gives me that same reaction. I'm gonna marathon it thru fast forward to see if it's any good. We'll see. I'm going to wait for the full series of Qing Shi Huang Fei to finish so I can mainline it all too. I think the angst isn't as bad when it's taken in all at once versus slowly taking it in.

Yes, one big gulp of angst is the best.
