Done. I feel sort of bereft, because Legend was a drama that sort of ate up my life, a first in a very long time (I watch a lot, but not too often in such an obsessive fashion).

What shall I do with self? :)



ep 23

Accountant/Jumuchi finally, eeeeeeee! This was one of the cutst things ever. Especially since she had to make the first move, he was too terrified :)

'I am supposed to be entering foreign territory in secret with throngs of soldiers around me? Will that make me safe?' Oh DD. You are right, but it's also your deep seated tendency to be alone (he is very kind and affable-mannered, but with walls miles thick, and after Sujini left, there is no one to truly drag him out), and fear to have others hurt on your behalf. If you risk only yourself, you don't mind.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! He is so psyched and excited to go to Later Yan because he thinks Sujini might be there. Even General noticed he is 'acting strange' since the 'letter.'

SUJINI!!!!!!!!!!!!With long hair and clothes in that Later Yan mantion!!!!!!

No matter the concealment, the look in DD's eyes, of someone used to command, is unconcealable.

Sujini might have long hair and clothes and a spare baby :D (which is why she took a sedentary job and didn't off herself) but she is still going to go fight. YESSS. If she and DD do not meet, I will do something drastic.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is asking Later Yan prince who told him things about Gogureyo and LYP says they have a teacher from there and during that whole convo he is barely containing himself and then is 'may I meet the teacher?' and the look on his face!

DD is in a good mood! Fight against awful odds, possibility of finding Sujini=good day.

He is going to save LYP because he has something to ask him, heeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I literally started making gaspy noises at the computer. He senses her nearby in the middle of conversation and stills and looks around all over and she is staring at him behind a pillar and OHHHHHHHHHHHH

SUJINI GO TO HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The night battle was amazing and how quickly the four of them cut through. LYP was all o_O. DD likes fighting with those chosen friends, not soldiers as much because they aren't as much of volunteers :)

Sujini observing DD drinking and both are thinking of each other but she runs away again...MY HEART, IT IS BROKEN.

The bow he has, since he is the Jooshin King, can destroy the sacred symbols AND the gods of heaven? I can see him using it, you know.

Or not, as if it's destroyed, not only will he and the symbols die, but the guardians too.

Heeee, DD is all 'why must we keep pushing them [Accountant and Jumuchi] together?' and General: 'Why don't you give them an imperial order?' LOL You should be the last to comment on denseness of men, DD.

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Yes! At last! Jumuchi hugged Accountant Lady!!!!! Heeeee. Eeeee! Other exclamations. Clearly, putting on armor is this drama's version of foreplay.

OK, he looks good even with a beard (time jump!!!). I give up. It must be either a genetic mutation or my brain has gone wonky.

DD, that was HARCORE (with King Ashin). My eyes went o_O, seriously!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG

That whole bit where he decides that what he is fighting against is heaven!!!! And he says 'being the Jooshin King, the four sacred symbols, do you know how much I hate them? Do you know how much I have lost because of them? My mother, my father, my people...I want to establish the Jooshin nation without the help of Heaven.' And then he talks about heaven: 'people begging, entreating it for teachings, crying out for help. Is that what heaven wants?' He wants to establish a country without heaven's help or meddling.

And then he holds that vial of his mother/Sujini!!!! I really do think Sujini's leaving, because of foretold/arbitrary symbols thing must have been the last straw, in his loathing of heaven's exertion of unquestioning slavish obedience.

'Where are you and what are you doing?' *dead*

Oh, and he is still looking for her, futily, even after 9 years.

EEEE! Jumuchi and Accountant expecting a baby SQUEE

It's Ho Gae getting the forces in a giant war. Big surprise. But he looks HOT. Hotter, even.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

LYP mentions seeing 'the teacher you were looking for' and eeeee! DD!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeee!!!!

HE SEES HER HE SEES HER HE SEES HER HE SEES HER HE SEES HER HE SEES HER

I am crying. It's embarassing. I don't care.



Ep 24

....

......

This isn't really liveblogging, because I was not coherent enough to type up anything after the first three times I saw the reunion scene. I basically rewatched it in a loop.

Now I think I am a bit more coherent. We'll see.

The longing on their faces! All that repressed longing of years and OMG. I am crying again.

He walks so slowly, as if he is afraid he will wake from a dream.

'I will never let you go again.' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When she says she is leaving? His response? 'Do as you wish. If you won't come with me, then I'll go to you. All I need is to be with you.' OMG. And when she says he is a king and should be at the palace? 'From this moment on, where you are is where my palace is.'

ajsjsjfhfhgfhfhfhfhf

ashshshdhdhfhfjrrddkdkdkdkdkd

I am dead. It's the fifth time, now, and I am still dead: 'If you are the Black Phoenix and will set the world on fire, then do it by my side! I will be your shield. So please...you don't have to go anywhere.'

OMG OMG! I died.

I DIED.

He is begging.

OMG

HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

AND BOTH THEIR EYES ARE WET AND HE IS HOLDING HER SO TIGHT AND FINALLY HER ARMS GO AROUND HIM TOO

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He never cries but he is and ohohohohohohohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

He is now in middle of desperate battle planning but he is totally shining, because of her, eeeee!

Jumuchi and Sujini and Chuh Ro reunion is adorable.

Oh no, Evil Elder finds out about the kid.

DD with that kid is the most adorable thing in history.

OMG, he tells Sujini Ba Son made armor for her and he took it everywhere with him in case he ran into her. And asks her if she stopped drinking because she was afraid she'd fall asleep and he find her.

She makes him promise not to hesitate when she turns 'black phoenix.' And he promises but says he will act his own way, not according to something heaven says.

HO GAE. How come you just get hotter? And yes, for him it is STILL all about Kiha. 'I never wanted the power of heaven. What would I use it for, even if I had it.'

Lots of things happen and some time passes. I prefer to believe that during this time, DD decides to deal with his insomnia by making out with Sujini like there is no tomorrow. YES.

Hwachun took the child blah blah gotterdamerung is coming, but all I care for is the way he holds her shoulders when she is upset.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He finds out it's his son. With Kiha.

The Sujini/DD scene that follows kills me in so many ways, because he is so stunned by the enormity of it: that she took his child with another woman (because it was before they even were a thought of a couple, but still) and protected him by herself, all these years (kids was the reason she stayed in hiding). He whispers 'What do I say to you?' OMG

The scene with Kiha and Ho Gae is incredible, because she intends to die after her victory and he can't bear it. Oh Ho Gae. 'What can I do to save you?' And that is why, no matter how far you descend, I can never hate you. Because you can love like this.

And she makes him promise to wait for her in her next life. And touches his armor and his hand covers hers, and when she takes her hand away, his curls on the spot where hers has been. OMG. Oh, how I love this drama. Almost as much as Ho Gae loves Kiha.

DD is riding into battle, and guess who is at his back again? SUJINI

DD's battle speech made me want to charge off with him. OMG. And of course he is at the front, what a surprise.

He loves battle, you can tell by his eyes. Maybe because at that moment, there is no time for second-guessing, or worry? It's like his brain can rest.

By looking at Sujini's face, oh, she missed fighting too. And you know, even Ho Gae is joyful, because it's resolution at last.

That battle scene made my eyes pop out of my sockets.

Look at Sujini move.

Oh, Julno Elder :( But he was happy with his last sight.

That's a bit of a sudden cut, Sujini going off to Hwachun fortress. I wonder if they had to cut out some explanatory scene for time reasons? I mean, she was in a middle of a battle. Hmm. And now the Evil Elder says DD is winning and breached their defenses so I suppose so. I wonder why they had to cut it out.

Kiha meets her kid, who is adorable. But kind of zoned. Midieval version of prozac?

Oh General, don't die! :(

I am a sick individual but battle-clad DD, weeping, with his cheek smeared with blood, is beyond HOT.

The final fight with Ho Gae and DD broke my heart. Also, how interesting. HG didn't bother picking up a sword, at the last. Seriously, do all men in this have death wishes? Yup.

And they just don't break eye contact, until HG's close and he crumples to the ground.

DD looks almost shell-shocked.

KIHA IS THE BLACK PHOENIX. See, stupid turtle people, you drove Sujini away from DD for almost ten years and you were WRONG!!! WRONG!! I am glad Hwachun offed you, honest.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! DD shilded Sujini and the kid with his own body!!!!!!

That whole final scene was not describable so I won't. 'I will return Heaven's power to Heaven.'

The ultimate alone, for-good-of-others, suicidal mission. Of course you jump at the chance, DD.

Any woman who can smile at her man at that moment is incredible. And better than me.

The end.

Do you know, I actually thought it was a very fitting and perfect ending, and I like the somewhat openness of it.

But the thought of DD outstubborning/outmaneuvering/outreasoning Heaven is just incredibly appealing. And he did, since we know he came back. And once he came back, I am sure, sure, SURE he and Sujini made a lot of babies. YES. And she made him laugh.


Picspam now.

So yeah, it's official. This is my favorite drama. Mars, you lasted a long time at the top (in fact, you were my first drama) but I am afraid you have to move to second place.

Next drama: jdrama Hotaru No Hikari. I need something thoroughly silly, light, and fluffy.

LOL. I am sort of a rarity among people who watched this, because I have never seen Winter Sonata before, or actually even much of anything with BYJ (I saw Untold Scandal movie a long time ago, but don't remember much about it). So he was basically a clean slate for me.

So I bet unlike people who were going 'but can the WS guy be this hottie warrior?' I'll be watching Winter Sonata and wondering why he doesn't just stop emoing and off the annoying people with his sword.

Btw, I think this drama is excellent, but it's not cheesy, so not sure if that is what you are looking for :P

From: [identity profile] lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com
You know, *sometimes* I do enjoy good things. It's just that I enjoy cheese more often. :)

PS. BYJ is very good in WS at looking like he wants to rip the heroine's clothes off but is too refined a gentleman to do so, thus forcing him to emo even more.

That would explain 'April Snow' and 'Untold Scandal' (I don't remember much about the latter, except for thinking everyone in it was a rat bastard, but I do remember the o_O opening scene). :P

Seriously, looking at his filmography after Winter Sonata, it looks like one long attempt to get over the extreme emo image of WS :P

I am half-dead from mainlining it yesterday and making icons until 4 am. :D I'll comment on all your posts later - I just have been "that" obsessed.

I am so glad you also liked the ending - it was rather fitting for DD, wasn't it? And well, no one died so I can imagine all future events, of course. :D He can come back, sekritly, to live with Sujini in sekrit. I can also hope that they managed to make a baby in betweens.

Ye, it is my favourite drama too, by far - I didn't even have such a defifnitive favourite before, I was in between of loves for "Goong", ALTK and some others like my old favourite "Long Vacation" and new "Trick". The ending in "The Legend" was the icing on the cake..

4am? Wow.

But yes, I haven't mainlined a drama like this in ages. I am completely blown away by it. And icons, eeeee! Share!!!! :)

it was rather fitting for DD, wasn't it?

It really was: about idependence and your own mind and spirit, and just the biggest quest of all.

He can come back, sekritly, to live with Sujini in sekrit.

Yup. Doesn't even have to be in secret, as they say he ruled for blahblah years afterwards. And can totally marry her, either by having her properly adopted or just not caring about her origins. Yay. And definitely baby-making.

I wonder what happens to Kiha though. I assume she died. I sort of hope she and Ho Gae both get reincarnated into happy, peaceful people who fall for each other and live happily ever after.

The ending in "The Legend" was the icing on the cake..

Yup, I thought it was perfect.

You see, my original thought was that light thing was a portal and that DD went away ( I didn't think he died as some fans seem to think, though). But I think you are more on the right track, as I found on Soompi:

Director Kim spoke about planning of “Part 2”.
“In the last episode, Damdeok walked into the light, a lot of audience thought he was dead.
Actually not, it was just a symbol of disappearance of the heavenly force, the King was not dead.
However, there is no mention about the King is alive, activity of four gods, and the ambitious Hwacheons gang etc, hence there is plan to proceed with the content of part 2."

Altogether - YAY!

I think Kiha is dead .

I'll post icons today - I have been finishing them today..

Part 2?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*hyperventilates*

If this happens (I went and looked up, and they want to see how it does in Japan before deciding whether to go ahead) I think I might die. I am completely torn between:
a. uncontrolled excitement about seeing DD/Sujini/Jumuchi/Chuh Ro/et al again and
b. dread that the second season would mess up something so perfect.

It's funny, because I was going to watch Hotelier (because now I have the world's biggest need for a BYJ fix) and found I couldn't because I didn't want to disturb my image of him as DD. I now know how [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore felt after Damo, when she said she didn't want to see Lee Seo Jin in anything else because she loved him so much as Hwangbo Yoon.

I think Kiha is dead

Yeah, me too. Which is something she wanted, after all.

And yay on icons!

So, what was your favorite scene?

SHe made me angry so many times - she had all this power and if she just tried to apply it she could have helped DD and everyone, but she had that "life is so tragic" attitude I find quite difficult to cope with.

Re: second season: I agree. I think they will have to find a good story to make it work. For me one of the main appeals was how the story was developing..

I understand this! It was easier for me as I already watched almost everything with BYJ. I am going to re-watch "Untold Scandal" now. :D He is VERY VERY ATTRACTIVE in "Hotelier", though. More attractive than in "Winter Sonata" IMHO. Great role (but not DD, of course). My only "Hotelier" squibbles were with the way some of the secondary characters (and Hotelier has many) had quite a lot of screen time. But you can always FF.

I think my favourite scene is the last one (and it was the scene with "grabbing king from behind" before that). But I have a big thing for all the "free will" stuff.

Oh yes. I ended the drama with having sympathy for Ho Gae, despite it all, but none for her, because all of her misery was self-inflicted. And she really did revel in her 'woe is me' attitude. When she was planning to kill herself on the cliff and somehow turned it into DD's fault and herself into a victim, my eyes rolled very hard and stayed that way.

I think my favourite scene is the last one (and it was the scene with "grabbing king from behind" before that). But I have a big thing for all the "free will" stuff.

I think my favorite is the 'grabbing king from behind' one. Or maybe the final battle. But that last scene was amazing.

I've seen pics from WS and I don't think highlighted hair looks good on any man, so I can buy that...

I agree. BYJ was very, very, very attractive in "Hotelier."


I don't know. I felt sorry for Kiha and Ho Gae but really, I didn't have much attachment to these characters. But I loved what was being said about them (through their development) and what they were saying. Especially when Kiha says that heaven's abandoned them so she will fight against heaven.

I ended up being attached to Ho Gae just because of how much he loved Kiha. Kiha though, ended up needing a good smack upside the head.

"SUJINI!!!!!!!!!!!!With long hair and clothes in that Later Yan mantion!!!!!!"

She is certainly that is one of those people that look different with different hair. She looks so mature with the longer hair, so lady-like.

"he is barely containing himself and then is 'may I meet the teacher?' and the look on his face!"

My heart gave a little jump then.

"DD is in a good mood! Fight against awful odds, possibility of finding Sujini=good day."

DD never loses his sense of humor despite everything which is so wonderful.

"OK, he looks good even with a beard (time jump!!!). I give up. It must be either a genetic mutation or my brain has gone wonky."

No, your brain hasn't gone wonky. He IS good-looking even with the beard.

"'Where are you and what are you doing?' *dead*"

The longing and sadness in his voice was so heart-wrenching!

'If you are the Black Phoenix and will set the world on fire, then do it by my side! I will be your shield. So please...you don't have to go anywhere.'"

I died there also. His look, his voice, ahh!!!! and Sujini, her look, her voice. ahh!!!

"He whispers 'What do I say to you?' OMG"

ditto, OMG, after learning that, what do you say???

"Look at Sujini move."

That awesome move on the horse was so cool and Chuh Ro is watching!!!

Throughout this whole drama I was repeating to myself "die, evil elder die! Why won't you just die! What does it take for you to die? Die! Die! Die!" I was kinda of like Kiha in that respect. I could understand/sympathize with all the other evil characters but not the evil elder. All I wanted to do was kill him off.

"Do you know, I actually thought it was a very fitting and perfect ending, and I like the somewhat openness of it."

I really liked the ending too. It tied everything together and since we know he comes back, I am quite content to imagine that he lives with Sujini happily ever after. The ending fits because this drama afterall was more than just about a love triangle.

Chuh Ro's armor totally rocks. And the necklace he wears also? I want one.

I loved your picspam for this one. I mean, I have resisted saving the other pictures because I am trying to stop my habit of hording but I couldn't resis this batch because there are just so many moments of DD smiling in anticipation, crying in sadness, and longing, and everything. Goodness, he is beautiful.

I don't know...do you think that either sujini and kiha could have been the black phoenix depending on what kind of situation was thrown at them or do you think that kiha was it from the start?

Ah yes, I watched Hotaru no hikari and loved it. It was so silly and happy and pretty.

She does look older and very different. Rather weary, which I liked.

My heart gave a little jump then.

I know, I got so excited. He can be very monomaniacal.

DD never loses his sense of humor despite everything which is so wonderful.

Actually, whenever the situation is particularly grim, he'll find something to joke about. I love it. He is just such a complicated, fully developed character.

No, your brain hasn't gone wonky. He IS good-looking even with the beard.

LOL, glad to hear it. Normally I loathe beards on men. About the only prior exception was Song Il Gook in Jumong (I didn't even like the beard on LSJ in Damo. I loved him despite the beard :D)

The longing and sadness in his voice was so heart-wrenching!

He just sounds so exhausted and worn out. You know, he really is driving himself too hard with work. It makes sense he actually died relatively young, because I think he drove himself too hard. I really really like how the drama shows the toll it takes on him, this life he is so good at and never wanted. And yeah, missing Sujini so doesn't help.

I died there also. His look, his voice, ahh!!!! and Sujini, her look, her voice. ahh!!!

Seriously, I've been rewatching this scene SO MANY TIMES it's not even funny. And it's made so much better because he is someone who so rarely allows himself to be 'selfish,' to put his needs above 'public good' (I guess it's a reaction to his guilt for wanting to run away with Kiha) but here he just must have her, however selfish and doomed it might be. And she can't resist, she crumples, really. (I bet if he was the one who went to look for her instead of Chuh Ro, those years ago, he would have brought her back, she can't fight him).

ditto, OMG, after learning that, what do you say???

It's such an enormous thing to do, and so uncomplainingly, so steadily. How do you ever repay this? (By coming back from talk with heaven and making babies, I say :P)

I really liked the ending too. It tied everything together and since we know he comes back, I am quite content to imagine that he lives with Sujini happily ever after. The ending fits because this drama afterall was more than just about a love triangle.

Exactly. He does have years and years after he comes back, and I would imagine you'd have to physically unglue him from Sujini to separate them. Maybe she gets adopted by some other Elder to make a proper wife, though I can't see DD caring :) I wonder what happened to Kiha though...I assume she died because of the phoenix form, but who knows...

Chuh Ro's armor totally rocks. And the necklace he wears also? I want one.

He continues to be inhumanly pretty.

I don't know...do you think that either sujini and kiha could have been the black phoenix depending on what kind of situation was thrown at them or do you think that kiha was it from the start?

I don't know. I tend to think it was Kiha from the start. For one thing, she had much more of a temperament to start with: demanding and unstable and 'jealous.' And for another, she was a darker person, and with greater fire power. Sujini barely used hers once! I mean, if Lord Hwangwoong didn't take fire power from Kajin, I bet she would have gone 'up' ala phoenix, a lot sooner before Sae-Ok :)

Clearly, putting on armor is this drama's version of foreplay.

HEE so true! It's like 3rd base!

OK, he looks good even with a beard (time jump!!!). I give up. It must be either a genetic mutation or my brain has gone wonky.

YES. Beard = good. Also, I guess I am like THE SLOWEST PERSON EVER. Because I was all, how did Sujini's hair get so long so fast? Where'd the beard come from? OMG EIGHT YEARS HAVE PASSED?

When she says she is leaving? His response? 'Do as you wish. If you won't come with me, then I'll go to you. All I need is to be with you.' OMG. And when she says he is a king and should be at the palace? 'From this moment on, where you are is where my palace is.'

I was DEAD during that. DEAD I TELL YOU. DEEEAAAAAADDDD.

I am dead. It's the fifth time, now, and I am still dead: 'If you are the Black Phoenix and will set the world on fire, then do it by my side! I will be your shield. So please...you don't have to go anywhere.'

*SOB* YES. GAH KOREA TEAR OUT MY HEART WHY DON'T YOU???

The Sujini/DD scene that follows kills me in so many ways, because he is so stunned by the enormity of it: that she took his child with another woman (because it was before they even were a thought of a couple, but still) and protected him by herself, all these years (kids was the reason she stayed in hiding). He whispers 'What do I say to you?' OMG

This scene killed me in so so many different ways. Complicated emotional scenes always kill me and this one was no different. I love that DD doesn't know what to say to Sujini, because he did use to love Kiha and he doesn't want to hurt Sujini and he knows she MUST have been hurt and knowing the impact of having a child with Kiha, it's like a salad bowl of emotions. I love that even though he's shocked and upset and his mind is probably all in turmoil right now, he still says to Sujini, 'What do I say to you?' like she's still in his mind. I'm just. . .I interpreted this scene so many different ways and I think it was well played. Poor poor Sujini. I felt for her so much her.
