Is "Die, die, die, you creepy stalker!" which I literally yelled at my TV at one point, a good indication of me feelings towards Ugly Brother?
Seriously, I've gotten to the point where I am actively wishing for someone to make a sex tape of Hero and the Heroine and make Ugly Brother watch it in a loop.
UGH. His latest masterpiece? Occurs after the Heroine and Hero return from their little overnight trip. Heeee, the trip was adorable. After lovemaking they went to the market in the morning, and bought live fish, and she made some kind of seafood dish, and she was literally picking pieces of crab and putting it in a spoon for him (sort of like a Mom does with a kid, picking out best pieces, I guess) and feeding him, LOL. And I am glad that the drama made explicit what I thought anyway: he said she reminds him of his Mom. We know you have family issues a mile wide, woobie! And then he got all jealous and possessive and grumpy, because she talked about how she knew Ugly Brother as a kid, and was all 'I don't want to talk about things that don't concern me,' sounding like he was five. He is quite insecure, isn't he? Makes sense, as his Mom died when he was a kid and that was the end of normalcy, basically. And I love Heroine, because instead of being weepy at that, or having a fight, or whatever, she can totally read him, and is all 'Fine, I won't talk about other people.' And he grins and says that sounds remarkably like a white flag. Then she tells him she can't deny she is attracted to him, Hero (Yeah, girlie, I hope so, you just slept with him) and that she has feelings for him. You go, girl! And awwwww, he is all happy now, and motions for more feeding LOL. Men are so easy :)
Anyway, they get back and Ugly Brother first tries to throw a hissy fit at Hero, to which Hero points out, with startling common-sense, of whom he is the sole possessor in the family, that Heroine is not Ugly Brother's woman, so it's none of his business.
Then, then, then, is when my yelling at the screen started. Because charming Ugly Brother bursts into Heroine's room, bodily manhandles her out of the house into the lawn, demands to know where she spent the night, and when she is about to answer, bursts out he doesn't want to know and tells her that the last 24 hours didn't happen. Way to deny her choices, or her volition. I am glad to see such unilateral decisions, MORON!!!!
But wait, wait, when she says she is not interested because she loves Hero, Ugly Brother, who should be renamed into Needs-to-be-stabbed-in-his-stupid-face Brother, states, in rapid succession:
(1) Hero doesn't love you. He told me has no feelings for any woman, some time ago, and then he ran off with you. Clearly, he must have slept with you just to spite me. This is all about memememememe! You don't know my brother as well as I do, he eats babies for breakfast, though I have not seen it myself, but I am sure he must. Yes.
(2) I will wait for you, even though you professed no interest. I will creepily stalk you.
(3) Did I mention that I will insult you by saying that the only reason a guy will want to sleep with you is to get back at me, for some obscure reason?
STAB DIE DIE DIE PIG PERSON.
So poor Heroine is understandably mopey, even if she did tell Ugly Brother off. And next day, she is moping because Hero didn't see her that day and Ugly Brother's words worry her (she is only human). And then Hero swoops by and is all 'sorry I didn't come by earlier, I was swamped at work.' And then sneaks a quick kiss at her forehead, and then walks off with such a smug smirk. It was totally adorable. And then comes back and goes for the kill and kisses her lips and heeeeeee, it's awesome and sexy and goes on for a while, and her arms go around his neck, and seriously, this OTP is so functional.
But wait, Ugly Brother has not yet fulfilled his annoyingness quota. He stalks her all day, waiting for her, then comes up and says 'fine, you don't love me, let's be friends.' He cements this new-found resolution, he proceeds to say:
(1) I believe you love him, but I still don't believe he loves you
(2) I shall nobly give you up because brothers fighting over same woman is wrong. *musingly* That is probably why Hero took you away from me. (Thus he manages to reiterate both his earlier insult AND imply how much nobler he is than Hero).
(3) If you find out you are wrong about Hero, let me know, despite my statement in (2).
DIE DIE DIE PIG PERSON SCUM.
Seriously, I think we are supposed to think he is sensitive and artistic, but I just thing he is a pig. The fact that Hero has not yet killed him, is some sort of proof of amazing self-control on his part.
ETA: Pig Brother is now stalking her on his motorcycle to her date with Hero. It is very creepy. Just looking at him now makes my blood pressure rise. Seriously, DIE DIE WHY WON'T YOU DIE.
ETA2: Almost as much as Ugly Brother, I hate Heroine's Quasi-Sister. She is a selfish, weak, shallow little twit, and I want someone to drown her in the Han River the way I haven't wanted something in quite a while. If I were the Heroine, I'd bitch-slap the brat until she had no face left.

(Why does heroine not just punch UB in the face? Or is that my inner shonen/wuxia/fantasy lover just expecting too much?)

They are former childhood friends and I think she feels more tolerant because of it. Plus, she is the mothering type, not punching type, alas.

Date: 2008-02-01 04:29 am (UTC)I do like how Heroine can put up with all the nutters around her, and everything that is going on:
(1) currently it's Hero's trust issues, which are a mile wide, and Ugly Brother is not helping to narrow them. Heroine points out she isn't a little kid who is waiting for his scolding when he tries to get uppity though.
(2) Hero's crazy sister, who founf portrait of Hero done by Heroine in her brother's room and clearly seems to think she is in MatsuJun's incest movie, by her reaction to her brother having a gf. She tells Heroine she has no chance with Hero to which Heroine points out then then Crazy Sister shouldn't worry. Crazy Sister tears up the picture and storms off.
Luckily, because Hero is the only other functioning adult in the whole story, he comes in and hugs her and makes it all better, so yay :P

Date: 2008-02-02 02:34 am (UTC)I remember why I like Beautiful Days but it ultimately fell to Hotelier. I loved Ryu Shi Won (ugly brother) before than but found him weird in this one. I also found Senna(quasi-sister) utterly annoying. But I loved the OTP. They were honest and faithful to their love. They didn't dance around.

Re: OTP. yes, I love how functional they are together and how happy and how they work things out. It's such a rarity.
