Save the Last Dance for Me and Bring It On: all around awesomeness

[dangermousie]

I have picked my next 'marathonning' drama. It's The Last Dance is With Me (also known as Save the Last Dance For Me). It was a little thing: a brief shot in a mv for it of the hero viping the heroine's tears with his thumbs. SUCH A GONER FOR THIS. This and the beyond awesome 'he is teaching her to dance' scene behind the cut.

Also, the male lead is gorgeous. Is there some sort of huge warehouse in Korea just stuffed with gorgeous men?



He is teaching her to dance. *dies*

MVs:

I posted this one before but I love it so much:

But oh, oh, oh, I want to finish both Sang-Do and Green Rose and then there is Hello My Teacher. What to do, what to do???? *goes crazy*

Anyway, other subect of the post:

Unlike Sensual Phase, which is sort of a romance novel heroine of mangas, beautiful but dumb as a box of bricks, the manhwa Bring It On (I am on vol 2 now) is just all around awesome.

Our heroine's parents ROCK. We find out that her Mom used to be a huge fangirl for a famous idol of her generation and is a legendary former fanfic author, as she used to write super popular fanfics RPSing that idol and another idol of the time (Miha's friend nearly dies of glee as she finds out and they discuss who gets to be top and bottom in celebritry fic slash, LOL. I kid you not). And the best part? Miha's Dad was also a crazed fan for that very same idol, and the parents met in a police station where they were hauled off to for trying to break into the idol's house. LOL.

Oh, and now her Mom has a brief gig fixing Won Bin's hair (she is a hairstylist) so she traipsed off real quick leaving her kids for a few days because hey, hottie! LOL.

I also have much love for the hero and his sense of justice and also the whole 'uber strong guy can still get whomped by the heroine' thing.

YAY.

Aghhhh Save the Last Dance is one of my faves. Some parts (a bit cliche) drove me crazy, but I love this drama overall. I also love the theme song, which turns me into a puddle of mush everytime I hear it. Ji Sung (can't wait until his army duties are over) and Eugene have good chemistry ;)

Is there some sort of huge warehouse in Korea just stuffed with gorgeous men?
Haha! I'd like to think there's a factory of some sort churning out gorgeous Korean men.

I don't mind cliches and it looks sooooo cute.

And you can tell the chemistry was good even from the mvs...

Save The Last Dance was one of the first doramas I've seen. It's pretty good overall. I think now that I've seen really good onces it fell down off my favorites list. I think it's worth watching and Ji Sung is very yummy.

Is there some sort of huge warehouse in Korea just stuffed with gorgeous men? LOL, if there was i would want to go there asap!! :P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ji Sung is totally gorgeous, agreed.

As to warehouse? YES please.

There'd BETTER be... because I'm going there ASAP and raiding it...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Want to form a raiding party?

OMFG!!! That is *hilarious*. Crazyfan/stalker love blossoms! Would make for a whacky drama scenario, btw.

It would. This manhwa begs to be a drama. I wish Goong-type manhwa adaptations were the rule rather than an exception.

This is one of my favorite series, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! ^_^ I made an AMV for it while it was airing, if you're interested. It's not great, but it has a lot of cute moments: http://ranma-romance.com/ld-amv.html

I can't wait to see what you think of the series! Looking forward to your reviews!

Thanks for the link! And eeee, so excited!

OMG! That is sooo funny!! They met bcoz they were trying to break into a celebs house? ROFL!! That's hilarious. I think I should get into Manhwas they seem kewl. Goong was first a Manhwa....ahahaha LMAO when I read that XD

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Manhwas are awesome and cute and you should totally check them out. Most big bookstores here have some.

Love that bit about having a gig fixing Won Bin's hair. I want a gig like that, too. :)

Glad to know you're enjoying "Save the Last Dance for Me." It's drama but not too emo. And Ji Sung looks good in a suit as well.

SLtDFY is very very cute I love it.
