dangermousie: (DBY: Kingone/OTP)
[personal profile] dangermousie
I know this is my fourth or so post on Why Why Love in the last 24 hours, but I can't help it, this is THE drama of the summer for me.

I have also decided that Mike/Rainie in this are going into my Top 10 drama OTPs of all time. Seriously. *thud*

But the giganto picspam (thank God I have a paid photobucket account or it would crash) and the meta on how perfect they are as an OTP will wait until the weekend.

Now? Now, [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore is in for a treat. Because I bring you a picspam that is solely Kingone. It is the 'kidnapping' scene, one of my fave scenes in any drama.




He had come to her school to apologize but she just walks past him even when he does. So he picks her up (thud!!!) and puts her in his car, and then they drive off and he explains to her why he acted the way he did. I love that scene so much, because Jia Di really realizes that awesome or not, he is not ideal: he is (understandably) messed up guy from a horrible background. And she understands him, and feels horrible for him, but she won't let herself love him any more, because she has been brought down to earth and she sees ho impossible the relationship between them would be, because of their different status (but also because I think she started falling for Mike, even though she doesn't realize it, and also because difference in status could have been overcome, but difference in status, plus the guy being a damaged woobie with hs particular issues? Maybe, but I don't think she wants to try any more. Parodoxically, she wants to protect him which means no relationship. But it all might still have been different, even with her being newly pragmatic, if it wasn't for Mike, and also for the fact that she could never open up enough to really render herself vulnerable again to him). It's heart-breaking (for them both) and adult and understandable and just GUUUUUH. It's one of the most wonderful and nuanced scenes. WWL is so awesome because it starts out as such fluff, but is actually about so many things...



Jia Di, post the scene in the mall with Kingone, and the night spent crying in Mike's arms (awwwwww). She is back on earth with a thud:



But Kingone is waiting for her outside the school, all anxious to apologize!



He sees her:



And tries to smile:



She sees him:







*thud*



She is understandably less swooning:





Yeah, gratuitous!



OMG!Heartbreak



Heeee, he picks her up:





SO HOT







Drives off with her:



He is trying to explain himself:



But I am getting distracted:



OMG! He tells her his worst memory and most horrible experience. She must be super important to him, and making her understand equally so, because it's so hard for him to share anything, let alone something like this:







Flashback. Can I stab his bitch of a mother? *heart breaks*







AWWWW. And he actually can't help it, he is sobbing a little:



She is totally moved (but yeah, he lost her forever anyway, even though she understands him now and still cares):









*I would looooove to thaw him! Ahem*





*dies a little*





OH GUHHHH, she is so gentle and tentative!







More explanations:





I ship Mike/Rainie and I was so STILL willing her to say 'yes.' Such is the power of Kingone awesomeness:



*dead*





And she hugs him!





OMG! Face!



Awwwww...guuuuh, you damaged awesome emo boy, you say things like that while looking that way, and you'll have your own harem. Even if not Jia Di because she belongs with your little brother...



But no, they can't be:









My heart just broke:



(she did, but she can't risk it again, and wants to protect him and...ahhhh. Her Uncle really killed HY/JD, didn't he? ARGH)


Symbolism (side note: I want Huo Yan to be LOVED, dammit. It doesn't have to be romantic, as I want Mike/Rainie, but I want someone to warm him up. His brother to get close to him, or for him to get into friendship-love with Rainie, or whatever. Just not be alone!)



He is watching her:





Her thoughts (but I really think if she didn't already unconsciously fall for Mike, it would have been different):





















But of course he doesn't understand!



I cried. I really did. I guess Huo Yan is my Hanazawa Rui? I never was tempted to alternaship in Hanadan or get really into him, but lots of people did, and now I know how they felt (and yet I still think Mike/Rainie >>>> everything. Weird, huh?):







Did I mention that he paid off her scummy uncle (not because he was afraid of blackmail but to get her family out of finacial hole) on condition he won't tell Jia Di?





And in case you didn't realize he is a woobie, Jia Di will explain: (she is right, that is why he went so off kilter, if because he thought he was being bought and sold again by someone he cared for and who he thought cared for him):



Mike/Rainie picspam coming up soon!

Wow, she is gorgeous. I really, really like her look.

And of course he is gorgeous too. You know, I don't actually watch dramas, but every once in a while there are some of the shows you report on that totally suck me in compared to others.

And this is so one of them. Darn!

Well, the amount of detail and pics I put in, you don't even have to watch it :P I went a little overboard with obsessing over this one :)

I know I keep saying this, but it GETS EVEN BETTER. Of course, I'm only 60% through episode 8, so it could take a dramatic turn for the worst somewhere (and I don't even really know how far along you are), but it just gets better...

I was so excited for WWL to come out and was okay with the first two episodes (or so), but wasn't entirely thrilled, but them BAM! It has completely sucked me in, and I can't even watch anything else right now because I'm too stuck on WWL and I'm all "why can't I be watching more WWL" and "this OTP isn't as exciting as HD/JD" and "why didn't I ever learn the language so that I could understand what they're saying during all these RAW episodes that I downloaded just because I couldn't wait for the subs because I'm obsessed" (which is something I haven't done since HYD2)... To sum up that horrifically run-on sentence, I totally understand what you mean when you say that this has become THE drama of the summer for you.

I am almost done with ep 7, and yes, it's incredible.

I am also only watching this one...it's so clever and light and emotional all at once.

Aahhh! This looks so good! And I've always liked Kingone, Rainie and Mike.

Why, oh why, wouldn't that stupid hardsubbed file from the subbing group work on my computer :P. Sigh! I think I need to go to lainemma for this, because at least I know her files work on my stupid machine...

Still, I'm already watching too many dramas at the same time, so I might wait until this finishes and then do a marathon session with it. Yes, I like this idea :).

BTW, raws for Takki's special with the mortally ill kid can be found here and a subbing group (D-Fansubs, iirc) has already announced that they are going to do softsubs for it.

You can't play rmvb files? There is a program (listed on jdramas) that you can use to convert those to avi...

I can play rmvb files, but the hardsubbed avi of the first ep that is up at jdramas refused to play on my Mac :P. Where can I obtain rmvbs?

You can dl off crunchyroll (but I think you have to pay to do that).

The raw file (with soft subs) is rm but if I am remembering, you can't play softsubs, right?

Have you also tried veoh? I don't know which format it's in there but you can dl as well...
