dangermousie1. I have read that Frozen Flower, that Korean period gay epic movie that comes out at the end of December, has had rights bought in the American market. While this is pretty vague as to what it means, the possibility of seeing Jo In Sung as a hottie bi bodyguard having an affair with a moody king, on the big screen, is pretty glee-inducing indeed.
2. I am halfway through ep 8 of My Lucky Star and it continues to be totally perfect. The scene in the rain and the giddy morning after are some of the cutest drama scenes ever. Also, I know why the angst monster will hit soon: TQ and ZX are so compatible, so functional, so good together, and such lovely people, that otherwise drama would end on ep 8 :)
3. I saw Kevin Smith's Zac and Miri make a porno yesterday and it was incredibly hilarious and also (oddly) quite romantic. Highly recommended. Am amused that under its R-rated skin the movie seems to hold the very traditional notion that sex without love is meaningless...
4. I swear, some of the HyeRin/DongChul shippers at soompi are beginning to remind me of the crazy subset of Harmonians. Fine, I got used to them declaring it's the bestest love to ever hit Korean dramas when the individuals in question are not only heavily involved with other people but have met (very briefly) two? three times? But now they are saying that the girl DC is canonically in love with, Grace, is (a) crazy as a loon and thus dangerous and unworthy of the dear hero (on the evidence of brief preview which shows her in a hopsital being treated for depression. Because her Mob father forcibly separated her from her OTP) and (b) DC doesn't really love her, despite all the canon, because he only declared ILY because she's been after him for years and he finally gave in out of sheer exhaustion (not really remembeing the whole, her father made him promise to give her up in exchange for saving his family deal). ARGH. Seriously, theoretically I have no objection to DC eventually falling for HR or whatever. Years pass, people change. But as it stands now? Give me a break! And the way crazy shippers are going about it, even if it does happen, I've been put off it for life. But then, they also seem to think that Dong Wook, the one 'pure' character in this story, the one who was tortured for protests against totalitarianism, the one who wanted to marry a woman who was raped and expecting the rapist's child, the one who would do anything for his brother, is secretly evil and as soon as he learns about the fact that he is not biologically related to DongChul will go after him evilly because he is just as evil as his murdering biological father. The only grounds for it (other than his justifiably being angry at a man who had his bro beat up and put in jail)? They prefer the woman he loved first with her sexy sexy rapist. And as currently he is with HyeRin, he is an obstancle to that aforementioned great HR/DC love. ARGH.
