dangermousieMy next angsty kdrama?
Piano.
Piano involves a really messed-up extended family. Older Gentleman I am not interested in (Gangster) is a gangster who discovers he has a son when the kid is 10 years old (grown-up kid will be played by Go Soo). He also falls in love with Older Lady I Don't Care For Either (Old Gal). Old Gal used to be part of a happy, middle-class family, but being a kdrama person, her husband died and now she is destitute and miserable. She also has two children, a son (grown-up son will be played by Jo In Sung) and daughter (Kim Ha Neul). Gangster and Old Gal marry, bringing no joy to their three off-spring. Can you say 'quasi-incestuous love story plus angsty hot gangsters falling for single mothers the younger generation?' I knew you could.

alexandral. According to her, and to my further research, this drama has:
1. Angst.
2. Go Soo AND Jo In Sung. Both angsting like their lives depended on it. Perhaps they did for nothing is as scary as a disappointed fangirl :P. Two really hot actors I love playing angsty woobies? I don't need anything further. However, it also has:
3. Forbidden stepsibling love (alas, not between Go Soo and JIS). Go Soo and Kim Ha Neul share the love that cannot be. Apparently, there is wrist-cutting.
4. Jo In Sung grows up angry and bitter and becomes a gangster. YES. He also falls for single mother with adorable moppet.
5. There are accidents and gruesome deaths of secondaries, but we don't care about them, do we? After all this sturm-and-drang, Jo In Sung gets a happy ending with a ready-made family. And stepsiblings get an open ending which can also result in 'inbred in name only' babies in the future potentially.
Did I mention Go Soo? And Jo In Sung? Super-intense ones? Together?
Go Soo and wrong-lurve centric one. Ignore the uncute older people. They are secondaries, and we all know that I (and probably you) are not in it for them but for angsty Go Soo who at least doesn't get to starve in China (Green Rose) this time:
If you thought your life would be incomplete without seeing Jo In Sung emote with a little quasi-son, this vid is for you:
lesbiassparrow, I can't believe you haven't seen this one yet. it has your name written all over it.
However, it will take a bit for me to get it. Meanwhile, once I finish Only You, since I have such a Jo In Sung craving, I will watch Shooting Star (Shoot for the Stars), costarring Jo In Sung and a Bunch of People Who Are Not Jo In Sung.
Our heroine is an older lady (29) who comes across younger guy, JIS. JIS is a dyslexic waiter and wannabe actor blah blah blah. Who cares? It's a younger guy-older woman story. And has JIS. Who does not die and get the girl! I don't really care about anything else.
(I knowlesbiassparrow didn't like the heroine, but I have extremely high tolerance for that sort of thing. There has been only one heroine in history of dramaworld who irritated me so much I had to stop watching: the heroine of Bull-Fighting. And I would have forgiven even her if she ended up with secondary guy, who was the one I was rooting for as he was by far my favorite character. Unless lady in this one will cause JIS to be whipped for no reason and then permanently ditch him for someone else, we are set)
