dangermousie1. Two and a half eps into Hotaru No Hikari and I continue to adore it as much as ever. I adore Hotaru, who is sooooo funny. Here’s a hint, girl. When you, a twenty-something woman, have to get relationship advice from a thirty-something divorced man (whose wife walked out on him!) and he is still better at it than you are, you need an intervention :)
I do love that both Hotaru and Takano need to grow and change. FN’s character wasn’t some pure-hearted innocent with an evil, cheating wife. He was a workaholic who neglected spending time with her and I think her walking out is what made him ‘wake up’, and I love that he does realize the need for change. But basically, he is a very nice guy (the scene with the red folder? EEEEE!) and I sort of adore him in his spiffy suits and dorky raincoat. And his interactions with Hotaru make me LOL.
I also really like the sweet-natured lady who likes Makoto (the ‘Other Guy’) and Takano’s friend who crushes on her. He is so awesome. He is going to try to help her get Makoto because he wants her to be happy. EEEE! Since I know how the pairings will eventually turn out, I wonder if HnH saying that the best guy for you is your friend, which is actually an awesome observation and good for long-term relationships (my husband is, after all, my best friend).
2. Robbers is ending today. I am going to read spoilers and that would determine whether I watch it or not (I saw first three eps and stopped). It’s simple. If Oh Joon dies, I am gone: I pick my ‘terminal illness’ dramas very sparingly and they have to be extra-special, and this would not be it. I adore Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae, but I have plenty of other dramas with them to watch. I wonder if a lot of people feel the same way, because apparently the ratings for ep 15 were under 5%, which is insanely low for a kdrama, and apparently is the lowest rated ep in 2008 (I am sure there will come a drama to beat it). I mean, watching a poor mistreated guy who just has found self-respect and love with a young widow with a cute child, a young widow that already had to lose her husband tragically, succumb to tragedy and terminal illness? Not most people’s cup of soju.
ETA: Found out the ending.
!!!!!!! I am in!!!!!!!!!!!!! No death. True, he could die in the future, but so could anyone!!!! And they will enjoy their time as a family eeee!!!!
3. I am excited about an upcoming drama, which will start at end of March: Three Dads And One Mom.
It stars Eugene, Jo Hyun Jae, Jae Hee, Shin Sung-Rok. The only problem I have with this is that I adore Jae Hee with mad pash but have never seen JHJ in anything and I just know Jae Hee will end up being ‘the other guy,’ the Lee Junki character in My Girl, the playboy who falls for the heroine and gets his heart broken and I do not approve of broken-hearted Jae Hee on principle.
Plot: Eugene plays a new mother and widow. Her husband has just keeled over. Not only that, but since he was sterile, the baby was created artificially, through a ‘donation’ by his three friends. Thus, according to release at soompi, the three ‘dads’ are: “Jo Hyun Jae who is returning to the TV screen two years after "Ballad of Seodong" will play a comic role as a successful fund manager. Shin Sung Rok plays the role of an innocent detective who cannot even speak well in front of women while Jae Hee is a 'pretty boy' comic artist who likes girls but doesn't know true love.”

Jae Hee *thud*

btw, you have no idea how much your posts save me complete suicidal boredom at work, at about 4 - 5pm, you start posting, and it helps keep me entertained until I can go home!

Date: 2008-02-28 04:13 pm (UTC)This will not be RIGHT, I say! I was just contemplating this today - Kdrama association of Korea must change the rules and make "him" get the girl , at least IN ONE DRAMA! OR The creators must have a poll in a middle of every drama and which guy wins more votes should receive the girl.

Date: 2008-02-28 06:35 pm (UTC)Is he the same as the other guy from "Full House"? He needs to get the girl!
And Daniel Henney needs to get the girl too! (I hope I spelled his surname correctly).
To be honest, i am more for a style from "Capital scandal" (or classically, from "Much ado about nothing"):
2guys x 2girls = 2separate couples + some misunderstanding.
THEN YOU GET TWO LOVE STORIES in one drama! And no one is left out!
And well, there could be some very evil guy who never gets the girl. BUT NOT THE NICE LOOKING ONES.

Date: 2008-02-28 06:38 pm (UTC)It's a little weird to see it go the other way, i.e. someone like Jae Hee or Lee Dong Wook, both of whom seem to be playing the 'other guy' in upcoming dramas, when normally they are the ones who get the girl. Hmmm...

Date: 2008-02-28 06:46 pm (UTC)I (shamefully admit) that I love love triangles but I do prefer them when you are not quite sure who will end up with whom. And I like it when it works out that at the end the other person might have someone. Like the heroine's best friend.
Of course, exceptions are made for evil people who should be lonely the rest of their lives to pay them back for their nastiness!

Date: 2008-02-28 07:20 pm (UTC)I prefer imagining evil people hooking up with each other and inflicted themselves on each other for the rest of their life. like the Other Guy from Chunhyang and Tennis Girl from My Girl should so hook up!

Date: 2008-02-28 06:33 pm (UTC)I'd actually peg Jae Hee as the one to get the girl, from the descriptions...
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 06:40 pm (UTC)I'd normally peg him for the one with the girl, too, only all the drama descriptions describe Eugene and JHJ as the leads, and we all know what that means. Not lead = never getting the girl ever.
Oh well, maybe he'll get an OTP of his own.

Date: 2008-02-28 07:42 pm (UTC)That's because he finally started eating again!
He was scrumptuous in DGCH and 3-Iron but in Witch Yoo Hee he was bordering dangerously on 'you need a sandwich' territory. Glad to see it was just a phase. That pic with the press release is one of the hottest pics of him I've seen.

(btw what shows (preferably where he's the lead) did he act in? i only know him from wyh)

Date: 2008-02-29 04:48 am (UTC)My favorite drama of Jae Hee (he is the lead in it) and one of my fave dramas ever (it's in my top 10 kdramas, in the list I made earlier) is Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang (Sassy Girl Chun-Hyang).
This list has summary/pics/vids and is unspoilery (scroll down)
