Drama and manga glee

[dangermousie]

Will shortly be going to see Amitabh/Tabu movie Cheeni Kum. Yay.

I have also started yet another drama. I know, I know, but both Lovers and Return of the Condor Heroes are serious and angsty and I need something light to balance it out. And plus, I want a Lee Wan (the super awesome mobster in Tree of Heaven) fix.

Ergo, Snow White (otherwise known as Taste Sweet Love).

SW's heroine is a ugly duckling who has crushed on her guy friend for ages, with no effect, but with no ability to stop. So when the object of her affection asks her to put up his kid brother at her place for a time, she cannot say no, however unappealing she finds the prospect.

Th kid brother? Is irresistably free-spirited goof played by the awesome Lee Wan. To her horror, our heroine finds herself falling for the man who is not only younger than her, but is also her crush object's sibling.

Heeee.

This super adorable OTP music vid captures the fun and the awesomeness:

In other news, I have finished volume 1 of Night of the Beasts manga. It reminds me a bit of Ayashi No Ceres (in both style and substance) which, considering AnC is my favorite ever manga, is not a bad thing. I can't see how it can end well.

I also bought volume 9 of Ouran High School Host Club. Love love love that manga. Does anyone else think Jiro Wang would be perfect to play Tamaki in live action adaptation?

gotta love the way that lee wan and the heroine first met in japan.

and the crush is really oblivious and yet lee wan is sooo adorable in it.

After you read Vol 2, you shall be even more convinced that it NotB could never possibly end well.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Oh well, I think I'll also try Skip Beat :)

lol, jiro's over the top comedic antics make him the most awesome tamaki. plus he can be super handsome and such a charmer

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

He'd be perfect. Hmmm, who could be Haruhi?

hmm, if we're going to stick with taiwanese casting, i think i will say ariel lin. she's was adorable with her short wig in love contract, plus she's so adorable. and hey, this way we can sorta see ariel and jiro as a couple (sorta =P)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

This is genius. Love it. Hmm, who is for the rest of Ouran club?

[booknerd14.livejournal.com]

lol, this is hard cause i don't know many taiwanese actors. hhmm, i do think that if mike he and joe chang could be made to look a like, they would be the perfect hikaru and kaoru(sp?). they're awesome bestbuds, and the clips of their antics i've seen makes me believe they'll be awesome as those mischevious twins. hmmm, and maybe ethan ruan (shen le of hana kimi) might be good for mori; tall, silent, but so hot. i've having trouble thinking of anyone for kyouya and honey-sempai. what do you think?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Kyouya. If he wasn't busy being the twin, I'd pick Joe Cheng. Hmmm :)

[booknerd14.livejournal.com]

lol, that would really be interesting. Joe as a scheming master mind behind thier host club would be so adorable

Snow White sounds really cute! And I have always thought Jiro would make an excellent Tamaki - he does the overdramatic, oh-so-confident thing so well.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

SW is really cute.

Re: Jiro. And he could be adorably vulnerable, too. Eeeee!
