Dramas of a Sunday evening...

[dangermousie]

Am through episode 19 of Green Rose which continues to be very good. I especially loved the bit where Soo-Ah runs to him in the hospital, and she holds him, and she is crying 'oppa, oppa, oppa' and OMG his face because he wants nothing more than to hold on to her. But he has to deny her.

And I got to the part where he obliquely revealed to her who he actually is. YES. And I loved how quiet that scene was.

Oh, and I am actually properly confused about who really did try the Chairman, how and why. Good job, kdrama. Two killers? Working independently?

And OMG, at the end of 18, JH punched out the bad guy (one of them).

YES.

I decided to take a little break from that drama then because I can't marathon without a break and, in interests of clearing my drama slate, I continued my watch of Love Story in Harvard. Finished ep 5. The law stuff in it makes my head hurt more even than the English, I am not super keen on the leading lady (she is OK but she doesn't make me love her like most of kdrama heroines do) and at least so far, it's a bit too fluffy, but:

1. Kim Rae Won is full of adorable. He is so full of adorable, he covers the rest of the cast. And Hyon-Woo is one of those rare well-adjusted laid-back, fun guys you see so rarely as protagonists in drama. He'd actually be someone fun to date in RL.

2. KISSING. OMG, the first kiss ('touchdown!') was the most adorable kdrama first kiss ever. And the way they kiss in the bathroom and giggle and everything and she is all 'I need to brush teeth first' is...so cute. They arean incredibly functional OTP. (Though girl, if KRW is opening his mouth to kiss you, at least pretend to open yours, don't hold your lips together so tightly, it looks weird).

Anyhow, once I am done with GR, my drama slate is confusing.

Should I:

1. Rewatch Goong or My Girl, one of dramas I adore
2. Watch a wuxia drama
3. Watch a Lee Dong Gun drama
4. Watch Lovers.

Heeeeelp :) (And I am not even mentioning the other ones I have).

I vote 2 with 4 as a back up *shock*

I don't think 1 is allowed with as many as you have going...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL. But I want a rewatch badly. Especially of Goong (or My Girl the latter half. I love the first half too, but adore the second scarily).

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Think of it as an incentive "when it gets down to x number of backlogged dramas I'm currently watching, I can rewatch Goong" or some such.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL. That way lies fastforwarding of doom. Once I finish Green Rose, I like to consider my slate clean, even though it's not :)

cheatercheatercheatercheatercheater.

so I shall chant as soon as I start seeing Goong or My Girl posts.

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

i would go for either 2 or 4 and if your in the mood for a rewatch i'll join you with goong

Rewatching Goong wouldn't take much out of your time if you'll just watch the OTP bits. Rewatching only latter half of My Girl wouldn't take that much, either, I guess. Plus, they ARE both fantastic.

Wuxias are cool but aren't they really long?

LDG - If in love..like them definitely, it's not a commitment at all. Unless you mean Smile Again or Stained Glass.

I think you should finish watching Beautiful Life 'cause it's the angsty/romantic type of j-drama you'd like. I think :)

I was SO TIRED when I typed this comment. I realized I end up voting for 1-4 in the process of it and that's just not on.

WTF self.

KRW&LDG dramas are like the gift that never stops giving, you can freely save more LDG oggling for later.

I've heard bad things about Lovers though I can't recall what. Too blahblah-everybody-dies, perhaps? Not sure.

So I vote wuxia & MG/Goong rewatch.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I second this. :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Re: Lovers. No, it ends happily with them together (I always check with kdramas. I don't mind unhappy endings but want to be prepped for them). A lot of people on my flist loved Lovers so I hope I'll like it (it has angsty mobsters which is my kryptonite). Lovers in Paris I plan to stay far away from :)

I am probably going to do a wuxia thing after GR, just for a change of pace. Those things are long, but because the eps are shorter, they are not much longer then e.g. Goong.

I really want to watch a LDG drama though :) It's horrible to have a short attention span :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I actually plan to finish it as soon I finish GR. That and Taiyou No Kisetsu. I have no idea how I got sidetracked because I do adore it so. And KimuTaku is so awesome in it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that makes sense. I am probably going to so that. I am saving lovers for a trip I have in June where I'll have a lot of hotel time :)

Yay, communal Goong rewatch!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, actually I plan to. I loved it and want to finish it asap. Ahhhh, Kimura.

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

a definite yeay for goong rewatch since i miss shin and chae gyung goodness... * so hoping that there would be a goong 2*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I started the rewatch and sooooo goooood.
