dangermousieIs anyone watching Bad Love? It seems like one of those dramas I'd love. Love triangles, illegitimate angsty woobies, etc etc.
Our Heroine, a cellist, falls in love with Secondary Lead, a son-in-law of a tycoon, only to find out the man lied to her, and is married. That relationship obviously ends. Some time later, her paths cross with Our Hero (played by hunky Kwon Sang Woo), the half-brother of her previous boyfriend's wife. KSW is an artist with a lot of issues, a huge chunk stemming from his evil family and the fact that he is illegitimate and has been made to feel it all his life. Oh, and his first love dumped him in some horrifying manner I have not yet found out about.
The chances of hero and/or heroine dying in the snow/of cancer/by poison? Not so great, which is already a score.
Chances of manpain and tears? Exxxxxxcellent.
And just look at this gorgeous shippy MV:
Or this. Phew. It's elevator sex with KSW and his ex. Ohmymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I didn't know kdramas could do this!
This is getting o:o
Another vid:
A note of warning: the subs seem to have stopped, as WITHS2 is having its 'put our foot down' moment and is saying it won't continue subbing until all of their hardsubs are removed from youtube/veoh/mysoju. Obviously their right and a fair request but in which case, I say 'good luck ever seeing WITHS2 subs again' as I doubt they can control the internet.
I am not unduly worried to existence of fansubbed kdramas in general as a new sub group will form if they go away for good (point in fact, a new group formed to sub Hong Gil Dong and Robbers. I was amused to note that suddenly WITHS2 came back to life and said that they will sub just those two without lifting the moratorium in general. LOL at the power politics), and in any event, a lot of kdramas get proper releases with subs. But, as relates to this drama: to be fair, I don't know if BL will be released with subs officially as I don't think it's a huge hit.
ETA: Apparently WITHS2 just released a huge amount of subs for their current dramas, Bad Love included, as an anniversary present. So now that this hurdle is over with, go watch! :)
