dangermousieTonight Mr. Mousie and I are off to see Rescue Dawn, the flick with Christian Bale. I love war movies, and POW movies, and escape movies, and angsty movies, and Christian Bale movies, so it should be good. Plus, it has awesome reviews (it's based on a true story of a pilot shot down over 60s Laos, trying to make it back out alive).
Mmmmm.
In other news, we watched more Doctor Who. So gooooood. Finished 'Age of Steel' which was angry, and sad and good. And Rose and her trying to recover the Daddy she never can, and Micky staying for good, and the Doctor's off-kilter rage at the human waste, and the Cybermen scaring me and making me cry at the same time? Oh. OH.
The next ep was about 53 England, where people's faces ended up being taken as a result of TV. It was another excellent ep. But what stays with me is the shippiness. The way Rose and the Doctor are gleeful about the tourism and craziness (even more evident in next ep about Black Hole, where they think it might be crazy danger, so should they go back, and then torn and laugh), but mainly the way he got so boiling mad and cold with it at the same time, when he saw that Rose had her face taken. Whoa. And the hug at the end. *dies a little*
I have also watched more Jumong. Wonder of wonders: Mr. Mousie voluntarily watched some with me. He never watches dramas. Never.
The scene of Haemosu's death killed me. I totally bawled like a little girl. Because Yuhwa was going to leave and live with him. And the horrible brothers finally brought him down through archery, as they couldn't take him out with swords. And the fact that the three flunkies had to knock Jumong unconscious as he was running to help even though it was certain death. And Yuhwa's weeping over the body, and Kumwa seeing Haemosu again, dead (OMG, the flashback when Haemosu confesses to Kumwa that he is terrified of battle, and that he is a coward who is good at putting a brave face. OMG OMG. *bawl*)
And then Yuhwa almost dies of grief. And Jumong is going to pieces, trying to literally drink himself unconscious, and sleeping around, and just consumed by how it's all his fault (of course Haemosu got killed because he was Haemosu, but the kid doesn't know that). And then there is the scene 'morning after' where he has nightmares of Haemosu's death and wakes up crying. And starts smashing things in the room, and screaming, but I am afraid I am distractedas his shirt is open...mmmmmm.
And shrine maid comes in and wants to help and he tells her not to as anyone close to him dies.
OMG.
Self-loathing.
And then King calls him back but he refuses, and King comes to fetch him, only to see him take out a squad of assassins sent after him, with deadly precision. (OMG HOT). And he comes back only because his Mom is ill and makes her better.
Bte, Kumwa? I love him. I love it when he tells Jumong, that even if heavens forsake him (Jumong. As Jumong says he is cursed), he, Kumwa, never will.
He might not be his father in blood, but he is his father.
And then Kumwa declares competition for who will inherit. And there is a whole plot about salt (yeah, salt). But that is not what I want to talk about. I love that Kumwa cuts the Shrine Priestess out entirely because she imprisoned Haemosu (I love it when she says it was the will of the Gods, he throws back into her face, 'would Gods do such a wretched thing?')
And Daeso sinks to new lows, going and finding Haemosu's corpse and hacking off his head to give as the present to the Hans. OMG. I hate him SO MUCH. Mr. Mousie was laughing at me, because every time he is on screen, I keep telling Jumong to stab him in the face.
By the look on Jumong's face when they meet, Jumong wants to do the same. YES. Please. Please.
Sosuhno is so caught by Jumong, isn't she? I love it when she watches him practice-fight, and he is deadly, and precise, and fast and sweaty. She wants him to tell her what his real plans are (he asked leave to leave the Palace again and signed on with her troop) but of course, he won't.
I love this so much.
And Song Il-Gook=LOVE.
In other news, Lee Jun Ki's Time between Dog and Wolf is about to start, with the first ep airing on July 18th.
MBC summarized it thus: The drama will combine the wild action and sweet love story of “Romeo and Juliet.” Su-hyun (Lee Jun-ki), whose parents were killed by an international crime ring, become a special agent to take revenge. And you know the best part? He will infiltrate and become part of the gang. Can you see the ANGST????
