Why Why Love makes me want to write those 'Dear [---]' letters in manner of advice columnists. Because they need it.

I.

Dear Huo Da's Father, Whose Name I Can't Be Bothered to Remember,

Does a drama world really need a Denethor of its own? I think not.

Yeah, your youngest is totally acting out: he doesn't work for your company, he rides motorcycles (and gets into accidents), he puts you into uncomfortable situations in public by making you cough up $$$ for charity.

Let's review this. Maybe, just maybe, I dunno...he is acting out so you'd notice him? And maybe if you showed you cared for him even a little bit, it would help? It might also stop him from being antagonistic towards his elder brother whom you view as a perfect son?

Also, asking your assistant if your elder son has arrived yet, and then when she says your younger one arrived instead, replying 'I don't care about that' is horrid but put-uppable with, but your actions on finding out your sons are in an accident are...how shall I put it? Not so much. Asking about the elder son, and being told his condition, and then when the person telling you continues to tell you about the condition of your younger son, replying 'I have no interest in that whatsoever' is...makes me want to brain you with a bat with nails in it.

We all know what happened to Denethor. He became roast dish on top of a tower. Why there are no orcs in the drama world to push you over the edge of sanity, and thus get the same fate escapes me.

No love,

Me


II.

Dear Huo Da,

Please, stop being a brat and GROW UP.

Yeah, your Dad wouldn't care if you expired in front of him. And your Mom died of a broken heart. And the girl you crushed on since childhood prefers your older brother.

Tough. I agree.

But hello??? There's Jia Die. She is cute, loving, and funny. Given half an encouragement, she could go for you in a big way. Most importantly (for your purposes), you have totally fallen for her.

So STOP TEASING HER. The whole 'showing your love by pulling pigtails' phase should be over by the time you are five. OK?

Keep on that merry road of denying to her you like her, and she will end up going for your perfect older brother. How will you like crushing on your sister in law then? Not so much.

Repeat after me: 'I like you, Jia Die.'

See? Not so hard.

Love,
-Me


III.

Dear Jia Die,

You've got Mike He there. In a rare drama when he has good hair AND doesn't die of angst. Plus, both his legs are broken so he can't get away fast. What are you waiting for? Jump him. For the sake of all the women of the world who only wish they could.

Pretty please?

P.S. Provide pictures.

Kisses,
-Me


IV.

Dear Jia Die's family,

Please go die in a corner.

Thanks,
Me

V.

Dear Huo Yan,

You don't need any advice. You are awesome just the way you are.

Oh wait, I do have a bit of advice. Don't fall for the oddball girl nursing your brother. You will only get your heart broken, and that will make me unhappy.

Willing to provide phone number,
-Me


On that note, here are some Why Why Love screencaps.



Well, they are only nominally WWL, as they are mainly to showcase Mike He's hotness when emo.























LOL:



And because you can't have a TW drama without WTF. Talk about a misleading picture:

i think your right>>>>> some dramas need a dear abbie........... and reading your post put a smile on my face... and yes this is the first drama where mike he has decent hair, doesn't die and although a massive bratty jerk he isn't that he just needs to grow up a little.... and the dad pisses me off..... i mean was the second son a mistake????? is it like spare tire???? i don't know.... but his treatment kinda suck but then its somewhat justified when his son acts the way he does...

i agree jia die should jump him since he lacks the mobility he is easy pickings...

and this made me laugh.....

Basically, yeah. I assume he will do it before the end of the drama :)

where mike he has decent hair, doesn't die

I remember watching DBY and thinking 'but I want to see him angst' and so I watched Love Contract and cried for hours.

I am sorta reluctant to check out 'Marry Me' for same reasons :P

is it like spare tire????

LOL.

I wonder if he started overcompensating towards his older one because he only brought him into the household when he was eight, and that got chibi!HD to act out to be noticed and it all went downhill from there.

i have to say that i have only seen eps 1 of marry me and that was funny with a sad note since mike he got dumped at the altar but whenever he thinks of his fiancee and how she looks its him in drag???? so i'm awaiting the rest of it....

Heh, love your letters. I still wish Jia Di and Huo Yan would get together though.

I find JD/HD pretty cute together, but I totally want HY to end up super happy. I'll even be OK with other girl, if that is what he wants...

I'm still making up my mind about the other girl though I think she'd be better for Huo Da.

You are married. Therefore, I will take Huo Yan off your hands. Assuming that's Kingone.

*has only very moderate interest in WWL, but thought Kingone and his OTP were the best part of DBY*

Heh. It is Kingone. And yeah, you take him! :) Mr. Mousie isn't that liberal. :P

Still trying to decide whether to watch this.

On one hand, Taiwanese cuteness.

On the other hand, I didn't watch DBY and if I ever do, I somehow sincerely doubt I will love it. I mean, if the OTP went wrong for you, I can't think of a reason that would make it go right for me. A lot of people say this is very much like DBY.. I wonder if that's in a good way OR in the bad way.

For what it's worth, I like it much better than DBY...

The OTP went wrong for you on DBY? How so?

Date: 2007-08-02 08:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
They didn't go wrong as much as lost my interest.

There wasn't much drama in their relationship and they were both inherently OK but not fascinating individuals so eps and eps of niceness sort of lost me.

But I was OK with it, until his decision to ditch for a year. She was such a foldy rag at the time, and he just pronouced it and didn't even ask her to understand or anything. They tried to convey it with his 'I'll love you even if you don't' stuff but it just didn't work for me (I ranted about it at length, just click on my 'devil beside you' tag). I liked him well enough through most of it but after that I thought he was an utter jerk.

I liked the secondary OTP though.

Date: 2007-08-02 08:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ladysaotome.livejournal.com
I liked his "I'll love you even if you love someone else" bit but I thought his "she won't be honest with me unless I make her think I'm dumping her" reasoning was pretty faulty. She could understand his wanting to spend some time with his mother given all his abandonment issues much as the seperation would suck so I thought the drama was a little rediculous & cruel.

The secondary OTP was utter cuteness - & they definitely had their share of hurdles to cross what with sword-welding daddy & all.

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
The secondary OTP so owned me. I loved Kingone's character and I loved the girl and just...he was fighting with kendo sticks to win her right to stay,

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I liked how shy he was to make any moves, too. But when she runs out from his game & he chases after her & says he'll take initiative - Dies! Too bad the team had to interrupt. :(

OK, found the post.

Here's my explanation for why it lost me:

From: [identity profile] ladysaotome.livejournal.com
Yep - looks like we agreed a lot, really. I'll have to reread the manga & see if that part was as strange or if they made his reasoning a little clearer.

Date: 2007-08-02 09:10 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
Yeah, the timing of the reasoning was off. if they explained it right at the start, I would have had less issues...

Personally I like DBY better so far. Mainly because WWL is just a copy of DBY but without the freshness. Some scenes are identical to ones that occurred in DBY and the characters are exactly the same. I think most people are only watching for the OTP, myself included. It's cute though.

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
Love the BSG icon!

Re: DBY v. WWL. I don't know. I actually like this better than DBY, mainly because there is more conflict and no annoying secondary characters. Plus, Rainie isn't a pushover in this one. It's sort of like an improved DBY to me :) But I am one of five people who didn't care for DBY so...

That is hilarious. I especially agree with your advice to Jia Die - jump the guy. asap. He'll fold. And to her family - they are absolutely bonkers.

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
jump the guy. asap. He'll fold.

Like a paper napkin. :)

He's got a bit of an early-Domyouji thing going with the whole 'I'll grump at her, but my secret fantasy is for her to jump me.'

Heh.

I loved the bit where she threw the bottle at the drunk guy, he caught it & then (after smashing drunkard senseless) swerves his face so close to hers.

And then they end up drunk & making out. It really is an "early-Domyoji thing" - so drawn & yet in denial over it. For now...

YESSSSSS. They have crazy chemistry.

And seriously, he is so in denial. Yeah, you randomly make out with a girl. And try to kiss her/invade her space all the time. And look like someone killed your puppy when you see her get into a car with your brother, in the rain.

I think it just might be love :P

MIKE IS NO EMO HE'S A WOOBIE!!! *GLOMP* I don't really understand the difference, but anyway.

Mike and Joe Cheng are MFEO, but Kingone also makes a good match for Mike. I'm tempted to watch WWL just for the brotherly love (god bless the Winchesters and the Petrellis).

blase-ly ignoring Rainie Yang since Devil Beside You

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
LOL. I don't understand the difference either :)

From: [identity profile] kitsune714.livejournal.com
I haven't been able to keep up with WWL at ALL -- I love Mike and Rainie (as you well know) and Kingone looks totally smoking in this, but I still haven't decided if I'm still going to try to marathon this all eventually. I trust your judgment; is it worth it?

Date: 2007-08-03 03:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
I think it's really cool. Much better than DBY. She isn't a dishrag and he doesn;t make me want to punch him.
