Dramas dramas and more dramas

dangermousieI apologize for the sporadic nature of my posts, but Mr. Mousie is very busy for a couple of weeks, so I am a de facto single parent through next week, which leaves one with a bit less time to blog. Anyway...
1. I am ridiculously nostalgic and feel like a Goong rewatch. It's my favorite candy-colored, emotionally-real-despite-manga-setup delight. Plus, I adore both Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Ji Hoon and their chemistry is insane. Who's with me? :)
2. I tried Dream High 2 and I didn't loathe it or anything, but it didn't click. There are too many characters, none of whom I can distinguish from one another and none of them interesting enough to motivate me to try. It feels like chewing plastic. The first DH, despite its flaws, was genuinely fun. Part of DH2's misfortune is that I keep comparing it to scruffy, heartfelt, real Shut Up, but leaving that aside, it's genuinely uninspiring on its own merits.
3. In news of other dramas that bored me - I gave Fermentation Family a chance, I really did. I know it's from the same people who made Mawang and Resurrection, but if I didn't know it, I would have never believed it. I believe FF may be used as a sleep inducer in insomniacs.
4. I am slowly watching and liking period cdrama Pretty Maid. Though unless I am missing something (and I hope I am), isn't the heroine and her OTP half-siblings? Eeeek.
5. I am madly excited to check out Hanbando/Korean Peninsula/Peninsula/18 million other titles. No softsubs yet, but it's streaming on dramafever.
6. This scene is pretty much the most awesome thing ever:

Date: 2012-02-09 06:28 am (UTC)Apart from the awesome Shut Up I haven't had time to check out anything new. I'm way behind with most of the dramas I've already started as it is. I've been collecting episodes in the hope of finding time to watch them at some point. The only one I've managed to keep up with is Just You as I'm ridiculously attached to it. ;P
Did Hanbando already start?!

Date: 2012-02-09 06:44 am (UTC)\(^ o ^)/ Yeah! You're watching something I rec.
The half-sibling thing is FAKEcest, so no worries on that front (but the story is pretty convoluted to make it that way, so get ready for some twist & turns, & a whole lot of Aaaaaangst). Plus, sad, but true, Cai Qing doesn't end up with Liu Nian/Mickey He. Her OTP is ultimately Qing Yu... but it takes 1/3 of the story before they meet. There's mistaken identity.... etc.... but if you stick with the story you'll see Qing Yu Undying love for Cai Qing, literately almost dying a couple of times just to be with her.... and happy ending :) the ultimately do.
SideNote: was roaming youtube and I found out that the actress, Ma Ya Shu (in real lie) is the ex-wife of Nicky Wu. 0_0 Doesn't add anything to the story, but thought I would share anyway.
see them together @ the 1:17 minute mark.
