dangermousieSo, since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mishane kindly informed me that episode 12 of How to Meet A Perfect Neighbor is the one with dysfunctional angst, I dled it.
Result?
IwannawatchtheentiredramaNOW!
Note: I did not manage to remember character names so I am going to refer to them as Heroine, Hottie, Best Friend and Evil Mom.
This is Secondary Guy. Or at least he was supposed to be until the writers, in a pretty shocking development, decided they'd prefer him with the Heroine. And who can blame them? Look how hot and angsty he is! Also rocking the stubble! Due to money he must spend on medication to control his angst, he probably can't afford a new razor!
Heroine is his Secretary. But luckily a lot more vanilla than the secretary of the movie Secretary.
Ahhhh, Evil Drama Parent, how I missed you! Let's see, if your truly messed-up alcoholic son is happy for the first time in his life and wants to break off his arranged engagement in order to marry the woman of his dreams, your options are (a) Hooray, my baby is finally happy! Bring her over so I may gift her my jewels! (b) Grrrr but what can I do? Grit your teeth and bear it. (c) Try to rationally convince him why his gf is a bad match. (d) Threaten to off her and then promise him to commit suicide (while clutching a bottle of poison and looking batshit) if he does anything to break his engagement. If you picked (d), then you know your kdrama Evil Parent.
Dude, with a mother like that, the wonder isn't that he is (a recovering) alcoholic but the real shock is he isn't hooked on drugs!
But I, for one, love Evil Drama Mom because he angsts so very prettily - angsty driving is a requisite for any kdrama hero and he does it so well.
He screams even better! *sluuuuuurp*
Next morning, guess who kidnaps our Heroine from a perfectly nice bus stop?
Awwww, what a romantic place!
Well, either romantic or trippy. I don't know if I'd go for a stage magician being there myself. Though maybe Hottie is hoping some of those magic skills will rub off on him. He's gonna need it.
Heroine is all "WTF? He needed a companion for discount Cirque de Soleil practice?"
That is NOT the face of a "Squee I am about to make myself and my girl happy" man.
Heroine is full of common sense and decides to leave.
But then, voila!
I really really loved that his hands were shaking badly.
Oh Heroine! (Who giddily calls her Best Friend), if you only knew!
Maybe this should have clued you in:
That, or Hottie's Face-O-Death:
She is being so happy and sweet:
Die die die die die DIE, scumbag!But not before angsting sexily all over my screen! The nerve! I mean, WTF!
Girl, at this point, you just get up and walk out, no more no less. No dawdling. Maybe pausing to throw a glass of water at his face. WALK.
The thing is, I understand why he can't break the engagement - see Evil Drama Mom. But if he were more concerned about her than himself, he'd explain to her and let go, not cling desperately to make her a mistress. I mean, WTF????
Oh Girl, don't ask questions, just run! Seriously, I know he is hot and tortured (and women love to believe they can fix the screwups) and you are in love with him, but WALK AWAY. This can be nothing but a trainwreck.
If you are self-aware, Hottie, than just stop! Also, do not try to guilt her into this - what are you, 5?
Oh God, this whole thing is SO screwed up! French novel, is that you? I love it love it love it!
Well, that's simple, give him the bracelet back, girl!
*Hugs the Heroine* Twist that knife, lady, twist it!
I am going to hell but I love this scene so very much. Mmmmmmm, extreme dysfunction, sluuuuurp.
Yes. Best Friend, thou speakest common sense!
And then Best Friend finds Hottie and punches him out! Score! And Hottie wants to be punched out more! Double score!
Most. Awkward. Conversation. Ever. That slams into walls at every turn :)
*awwwws, melts and bags her head repeatedly at the same time*
I loved that scene!
