Ojakgyo Brothers = Endless Love and other matters

[dangermousie]

I was a bad bad girl and peeked at some spoilers (quasi-incidentally) and apparently

Jo Eun's Daddy was the guy who committed hit-and-run which resulted in Tae Hee's Dad being dead (well, that explains where the hell his parents are and why he's being raised by his aunt and uncle. Though where is the Mom?).

OUCH!!!

I don't want my scruffy cop and plucky former heiress to angst!!!! I do! I do! I do! TH should take a shower of paaaaain.

This is going to be interesting when it comes out. I hope the drama doesn't choose to go 'noble idiot' route. I love it when utilized properly, but I fail to see how it will be utilized properly here. If TH ditches JE, he's not a noble idiot but kinda a jerk and if JE ditches TH, she's insane - 'sorry my Dad offed yours. I'll make it better by taking away the woman you love.' I mean, if they decide to break it off based on all the facts, fair enough.

But we'll see. Anyway, am only on ep 15 so it's ages away from where I am.

Also, I know Joo Won was slated to play secondary guy in Moon That Embraces the Sun, i.e., the role which went to Jung Il Woo. People are saying he dropped out in order to take the lead in the upcoming Bridal Mask, and while that would be understandable (lead >>> supporting), how on earth did anyone, Joo Won included, think he was going to be able to be in Moon? Even if we leave Ojakgyo's eight-ep extension aside, the drama is still airing and would have been airing for 3 more weeks even without the extension. Moon is airing too. Granted, they are doing childhood parts in Moon now, but the adult stuff is slated to air (let alone start filming) before Ojakgyo's even-unextended scheduled end-date. There is no way the same actor can be a lead in one drama and a main (one of three mains) in another, without bending the laws of time and space. So I think Moon would have always been a wash-out. I mean, there is no earthly way.

In other upcoming drama news, I am mightily amused there is still not a peep about a leading lady for Shut Up: Flower Boy Band. I am kinda hoping for utter wall-to-wall slash at this point because it's frankly insane they have no gal lead cast if they plan to have one at all. Heh, I might even tune in, at this rate.

If you're going through with HZGG (and kudos to you if that is so, I ditched after the first half of episode 1), I'm feeling that you will be hating the main OTP. From what I've read, they're about the most selfish, stubborn, thickheaded couple that ever existed in drama world, and that's saying a lot.

I actually have a drama that I wanted to recommend to you but I forgot its title, silly me. But you've probably already seen it anyway. It's about this soldier who is secretly plotting against the evil empress while under the guise of helping her, though not even his own family knows this so he have to live with the title of a cold hearted traitor. His OTP is an outgoing albeit clumsy doctor who was able to make him smile from their very first meeting. Since he's a soldier and she's a doctor, there's plenty of scenes where he's wounded and she comes to the rescue. He fell for her first but they can't be together because of his mission. But the best part is there was no misunderstanding *gasp* cause she found out about his mission early on and is completely supportive. Plenty of angst, hurt/comfort, hero who is frank with his feelings and know clearly who he loves, strong willed heroine who isn't about to be bullied by anyone whether it be the bitchy second lead or her bossy sister. I thought it sounds like a drama you would enjoy :)

Oh my God, this drama sounds PERFECT for me, but I have no idea of the name. Is it a kdrama or cdrama or what? OMG, because I want!!
