dangermousie: (Cuidado con el Angel)
[personal profile] dangermousie
In between working, prepping for Baby Mousie's third birthday party, and entertaining both sets of our parents, I got time to sneak more of my newest obsession.

* Maite and William have insane, insane chemistry! No matter what they are doing on-screen (talking, fighting, staring, whatever), all I keep thinking is 'why are you not having sex against the wall yet?'

* Juan Miguel seems to be a human iceberg but not when he's around Marichuy - she really gets under his skin in a totally visceral way and he really loses any control - he becomes a total sucker for a hard luck story that shouldn't fool a cat (more about it below), he's devastated like a kid who learns Santa isn't real when he finds out she lied, he tracks her down in the middle of the slum to have a fight:





And pretty much throughout, he stares at her as if he wants to devour her (when he normally is Mr. Detachment). He even muses about how pretty her name is. It's adorable! It's like a kid with a crush.

* My favorite scene so far is the one in jail (where cops bust Marichuy as one of the people fighting in a nightclub) that goes something like this:

Juan Miguel: Delinquents, I want to help you!
Delinquents: Awww, man, ignore the square.
Marichuy: Hmmmmm, I know a sucker when I see one...
*comes closer*
Marichuy: Here, big guy, how about this story that should fool nobody? Yeah, I was there because I was delivering news to a waiter his wife was giving birth and my parents will beat me and I am a good girl let me out...
Juan Miguel: Braaaaaaain locking down.
Marichuy: Hmmmmm, maybe I should be clearer. Let me demonstrate my innocence by clinging to you in a full body hug. Mmmmmmmm...is that a six pack I can feel under that suit? Daaaaamn, I want to take this for a trial ride. Ooops, no that was me :P
Juan Miguel: Where do I put my hands? Panic!!!! Ice melting around heart...robot self does not know how to cope with human emotion overdose. Heeeeeeelp!








And of course, he buys her story and gets her out. Awwwwwwwww.

* I am glad to announce that even when he barely escaped deadly perils of the watery grave and is in ICU, Juan Miguel lets nothing interfere with his hair. It's just as perfectly styled as ever.

* OMG, the little girl who plays Juan Miguel's daughter is the most adorable thing ever! I just want to squish her and pinch her cheeks! I am entirely confused as to how he's old enough to have a 6-7 yr old kid (I know people in Mexico marry earlier than in the US so...hmmmm).

* And that is why I am glad Juan Miguel's wife is deeeeeeeeeead. I don't blame her for the marriage not working out - that is both their faults - sure, she was shallow and solipsistic but he's completely uninvested and looks like he'd rather be trimming his nails than be in her vicinity (I totally laughed when she was complaining to her Mom he never ever showed any passion for her and wondering if there is another woman. If this was not a telenovela, the answer would be 'dear, have you checked out your hubby's sexual preferences?' But since it is, it's just that nobody but heroine can melt his icy heart). Nope, it's because the wife is a horrible mother. WTF with putting a 6-yr-old (normal weight btw) on a strict diet so she won't become chubby later. WTF! Go eat a piece of cake at the wake, kid!

In other news, this is what kdramas need! Makeouts! Kind soul posted their wedding night on youtube. In 28 eps I shall be there!

Thanks for the recap. I'm really in the mood for some angsty romance movie with a hot hero in it? Do you have any recs? It's fine if it's foreign.

Excellent rec, but I've already seen it. Do you have any other favorites? BTW, they're making a sequel that will be release this year. Not sure how I feel about that :\

I don't think he gets her in the sequel either, so eeeeeeeh.

Do you watch Indian movies? A lot of them are super-romantic. How about Veer Zaara or Mausam or my favorite, Magadheera:

This thing sounds a little cheesy

It is not just a little cheesy, it's hella cheesy! That's why I love it ;)

Thanks so much for recommending this. You know how I love an icy hero who is totally in control of his emotions, but when it comes to the heroine he is a totally wreck, feeling things he's never felt before. You know how I love LSJ from Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Thanks!

Ah. You got me addicted...then I realized that the subs only go to episode 28 D: What am I supposed to do now?

Thought the subs were through thirty.

How is your Spanish? The entire thing is on YouTube. Also, there is a very very abridged you can find on amazon.

Also, CceA is getting actively subbed so hopefully more will be up soon.

When on Viki, the subs are to part 3 of 28 and a couple parts of other episodes. Unless you're getting subs from somewhere else? Is it getting actively subbed cause it looks pretty abandoned (on Viki).

Yeah, I heard the version on Amazon is very cut up so I'm not sure I want to buy it. How bad is it? I don't care about the other scenes but are the main OTP scenes still intact?

att123 is the person to ask about DVDs - haven't gotten minein the mail yet. I can ask her.

Re viki - no, you are right, I didn't check carefully.I do think, reading comments etc, that it's still getting subbed, just slowly. Makes me think of Sword Heroes Fate cdrama over there - it's being subbed slooooooowly but still subbed.
