Largely about the sexiness of revenge...

[dangermousie]

I watched the Indian movie Life in a...Metro (also known simply as 'Metro') in the theater today.

It's about the lives of about ten or so people intersecting in Mumbai and I loved every bit of it and will meta about it later but am soon to go to bed so that will have to wait (I will mention that driving back blazing Glay was very fun ;))

And I've restarted my watch of kdrama Green Rose (am on ep 11) and even though it is not primarily a romance drama (it's about a falsely accused man who is believed to be dead but comes back powerful, three years later, to clear his name and find out who framed him and why and avenge himself), the OTP of this one keeeeeels me dead, what with him having to pretend to be someone else to her even as it kills him and her half pretending to believe him and half believing him and the coded conversations where they really can't say what they want and the way they devour each other with their eyes and she is the only thing that can bring him to his knees (figuratively and literally).

So awesome.

Go Soo is also BLOODY HOT all broody in black and Lee Da Hae is so beautiful, but that is by the by.





Revenge means wearing nice suits:



I love this pic:



OK, that scene (ep 8?) killlllllls me:



Hell yeah:



Bad guy. *gasp* Shall he get the girl?



The protagonist and the friends he makes in China:



The gorgeous Lee Da Hae. Her character is very different from that in 'My Girl':







I love that scene. All the sexy desperation:



Ugh. Bad guy. *stab*



War of the suits!



The bad guy's ex. She joins the vengeance crusade:



Yummy hair:





Pretty colors:



The OTP in happier times:





















Girl power!



At party:



Less festive:



Even girls wear suits :)

*wants her DVDs to get here so very very bad*

I actually(usually) prefer stories where the romance and OTP help propel the plot and aren't the main focus, as opposed to ones where it's all about the OTP and romance and the plot fills in the holes. IMO, it often makes the importance of the relationship stand out more as it acquires a "one good thing" feel. Which is why Green Rose is probably just my thing.

Who does the main girl play in My Girl?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

She is the lead in My Girl.

Hope you enjoy this!

geez. That looks great...but what's the storyline. Yes, LDH is an amazing actress and I am going to start sweet 18 (is that right?!) soon but supposedly she's the "pyscho" ex character so a little nervous ^_^

I summarized the plot here:

I want to see Life in Metro. I saw Salaam E Ishq and loved it. The director managed to tie all of the stories together so beautifully. The music was great as well. I still need to watch Green Rose. LDH is very talented. I want to see her in a serious role. I saw her in Sweet 18 and it was so wierd cuz I was coming off of My Girl. She was good though and yeh, she was the crazy ex trying to get the guy back.

So glad you liked SeI. I loved it. And yeah, Metro was excellent too.

And I adore LDH. Is Sweet 18 goo btw?

Green Rose sounds interesting but I'd want to know the ending before I watched it. So when you get there, I look forward to your review.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I watched the ending and spoiled myself. It's a happy ending and the two actually get married and he gets his place in society restored.

[ladysaotome.livejournal.com]

Seriously!! Definitely watching it, then! I'm too much of a sucker for happy endings!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yay!
