Why Why Love owns me
Dec. 18th, 2007 10:01 am
I finished Why Why Love in a total crying/grinning blur. Such angst (did they really need to compensate for the fact that it was relatively light until late in? This is a story with exchange coupons, racing, and college, not Vic Zhou's Silence, thank you very much) but ending on such sweetness.
Huo Da/Jia Di are such scarily awesome OTP.
The one thing I loved that even in the middle of the typically melodramatic drama cliche of 'break her heart and push her away to save her,' it felt really somehow real: the friends' anger and confusion, Xiao Di somehow characteristically plucky even in heart hear-break, and Huo Da is just so young and desperate.
My scene was the fake proposal. When he gets the ring out and the shining look on Jia Di's face and he is thinking of what he'd really like to say (which is a mushy, awesome ILY/proposal mix) but instead throws the ring away and does the whole 'I tried, I can't, I don't want to be with you but with Yan Shu' speech. And she ju,ps after the ring, OMG. And his brother (Huo Yan is so made of awesome) is telling him to come to his senses and oh. And then he is inside with Yan Shu (who is the only one who knows the truth) and he starts crying. And then he sort of collects himself with an effort and is 'I hope I am going to hell.' Awwwww. Woobies.
Anyway, picspam of awesomeness of ep 13 and first half of 15.
Dorky cuteness:

Heee. They end up having to take care of Uncle's kid during their date:

Cuteness on the Ferris Wheel:

He finds out he is ill:

His first reaction is to do what the docs tell him he shouldn't as some sort of bizarre proof:

Oh, poor woobie:



TPTB let them have some sweetness as preparation for knife-twisting:

She is adorable:

He thinks so too:


They go racing:

And have a fight about his bizarre behavior lately (I love that Jia Di is not a pushover):

Cuteness:



Playing around:


OMG. He feels the symptoms and is all 'it's too dangerous for her to be on bike with me' and kicks her off and also decides to drive her away otherwise she is in love with him so she will be in pain. Brilliant. Just brilliant.


And he hears her crying for him:



Some even better medical news:


Yan Shu finds out and he asks her for help:


Getting his first present ever from Huo Yan (I love the sibling stuff in this drama):




Here just for that awesome Huo Yan smirk:

Fake proposal party. Here he is with Yan Shu:

Jia Di all dressed up:

They meet:


Oh, you darling!

OMG, look how much larger his hand is *wibble*

And they dance:







He gets out the ring:



For the jugular!



Jia Di jumps into the pool for the ring and OMG Huo Yan jumps to fish her out:

I love the claustrophobic, off-tilt composition of this shot:

OMG, you poor darling:


Huo Yan walks Jia Di home (and gives her his jacket!)

And is probably 'my little brother is an idiot!'


Being hugged by Mom:

Huo Yan tries to fix it. I love him SO MUCH:


Poor woobie:

Huo Yan being awesome:




Eeee! Jia Di is off to the hospital after finding out the truth. I love her Mom here:

Huo Yan is all 'OK, little brother, are you a total idiot?????????????'

Sibling love!!!!!!!

Jia Di shows up:





Seriously, so awesome, when she screws his head on straight:





Here is an awesome MV:
