dangermousie1. Pick the Stars ep 18.
* I am a bad bad person. Baby Nami is very sick and all I am thinking is "OMGOMG He is cradling her OMG!!!" Being a shipper will do that to you. This episode had so much touching. Mmm. Shippy mush aside, I really do think the whole thing with Nami shows up that Pal Kang and her brood need Kang Ha - she is capable of providing/caring for them but who is going to provide/care for her? It's really good to have someone there to help you with your burden, as you help the kids with theirs. Plus, Kang Ha is just good in a crisis.
* I felt so awful for PK the whole ep - her baby brother is sick and there is nothing she can do.
* This whole ep was worth it for the look on Kang Ha's face when he learned all of PK's siblings are adopted. That goes so directly towards his issues it's insane.
* Hagface continues insane. In what Universe would she expect a man who is (a) in love with another woman; (b) is only marrying her because she is threatening his brother otherwise; (c) loathes the sight of her - be happy about marriage to her or evince anything but disgust? I do love that she makes it straight for PK (because oooooh sick kid in the hospital, who cares) and KH just grabs her before she gets even within 10ft of PK and has a chance to open her mouth and just tows her away.
* Hagface's marriage plans are about to lie in ruins at her feet - Jun Ha overheard the blackmail and ooooh - poor Kang Ha looked terrified but Hagface looked pissed off too - she knows her chance is gone.
2. Can anyone explain to me the Korean fixation with Yoona? I think she can't act (she was so wooden in 9 End 2 Outs they could have used her instead of the baseball bats), has no charisma, and has a creepy bird face. Yet Korea can't get enough of her.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mishane informed me that the makers of Athena offered her a part (thankfully she turned it down). I presume not lead (though Koreans did think it was a good idea to pair her with Kwon Sang Woo so who knows) but even so - appalling. WHY? I do not get.
3. Trailers and character descriptions for the upcoming sageuk Dong Yi are out. My very short summary of them is thus.
Dong Yi - sort of like an updated Damo - noble girl whose father gets executed for treason and who descends into slavery. Unlike Damo who solved crimes and lusted for her rebel brother, Dong Yi embarks on a much more sustainable course of solving crimes and lusting for her studly King. That way lie nice clothes, tiaras, and all the "off with their heads" you may want, so I am all for it.
Studly King - is a studly King. Strong, smart, ruthless and with conflicts in his harem (genius, stick to one wife!). One thing that strikes me as potentially awesome is that it seems he's the one who ordered Dong Yi's Papa executed in order to strengthen his rule.
Quasi-Bidam - played by every woman's sex fantasy Bae Soo Bin (or, wait, is it just me?). if they expect me not to ship him with Dong Yi, they are crazy, as he is supposed to be her dead brother's best friend protecting Dong Yi all her life as promised and is also a lowly corpse-exeminer by day but a mad-skilled ninja by night - a member of a secret fighting organization that wipes out corrupt officials. He also loves Dong Yi all his life. Sorry, Studly King. Your harem will have to do without adding me to the list of your admirers. You may get Dong Yi but Quasi-Bidam gets my heart.
Evil Wife - Studly King dug her but not Studly King's Mama. Blahblahblah is evil and executed but hopefully not before causing sturm and drang.
