Myung Wol eps 9 and 10 asjfkgjdkdfklfsldjlalsjfrkj

I am so grateful to MW for being so good and for compensating for the awful disappointments that were Lie to Me and Best Love for me.



Delicious jealousy...





























He sees her dressed up...








At dinner, telling she should not be modest and feel unworthy because the rich aren't any different...











AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Also, if he looks like that at her after believing she's a gold-digger who manipulated him, he's a goner. Might as well practice saying "Hooray Dear Leader!" Also, they have insane chemistry. Romcoms are made or broken by chemistry (one of my problems with Best Love was that I never felt much chemistry between the leads. Another was the hero, but that's a topic for another day) and they have insane one.



































Poster for their drama. LOLOLOLOL I would watch the hell out of this sucker!





Filming. The drama-within-a-drama is about a NK agent who is sent to seduce a SK agent but falls for him instead. Meta much?























Ashsjskwofjekjjtdk they are so not acting. You know how I know? Because they keep on and on and on even after the director yells 'cut.' (Reminds me of stories of filming 'The Flesh and the Devil' with Greta Garbo and John Gilbert who were lovers at the time. The director would yell cut and they'd just ignore him and the crew would get out and leave them to it...)





















































As I was saying...





Final scene. OMFG when they go off-script. And his yelling he forgives her and will grant her anything she asks and her shooting herself (you can kill yourself with blanks btw), and his hugging her and crying and screaming her name. I am watching ep 13 raw.



























































And my obsession proves, once again, my need of The Switch. I believe I explained it years ago - when I truly fall in love with a drama is only when the switch is involved. What is the switch? It's when the metaphorical switch flips on and I go from enjoyment to true investment - to empathy and obsession, when somehow these characters become real and when I rage at their slightest suffering and glee at slightest bits of good luck - it is when they stop being characters and become people. Sometimes it happens instantly (IRIS) or sometimes it takes a dozen eps (Family Honour). Often it doesn't happen at all - I have watched many a drama I enjoyed where the switch never flipped, good dramas I could appreciate (Warrior Baek Dong Soo comes to mind actually) but for me to truly love a drama, the switch has to flip. And when does, even when a drama is flawed (as Mary was), I will be its foverer. And so yes - MW has great chemistry and a story that hits my kinks (it's surprisingly angsty for a romcom. I am very predictable) but also somewhere in ep 3 or 4, the switch went on and from then on it could do no wrong.

Have a MV:
