April TV schedule

[dangermousie]

Heads Up for dangermousie's TV viewing schedule for April.

i.e. What I'll be babbling about in the coming month:

Battlestar Galactica

What: A post-apocalyptic scifi show, BSG follows the ragtag group of human survivors and the Cylons (artificial intelligence) who pursue them. It's grim, clever, and gorgeously written and acted. I cannot possibly explain the premise very well :)
Why: BSG is back for its fourth and final season, and if the premiere episode is any indication, it's as excellent as ever. It's on every Friday, so expect a lot of babble and picspam every weekend. And at any random times the feeling strikes me.

Doctor Who

What: British TV show and if you haven't heard about it, I have no idea where you have been. The Doctor is a Timelord travelling through time and space with a companion in a blue police box. Yes, that's right.
Why: Another fourth season! This looks to be funny and clever, i.e. business as usual, plus I love the companion and Ten himself is irresistable.

Powerful Opponents

What: Korean, 16-episode drama which starts on April 14. Our heroine is the first female Presidential bodyguard, who is appointed to guard the President's son.
Why: I love tough women who have to actually protect their weaker (and younger!) OTP. Doesn't happen often. The female lead is awesome, the male lead is gorgeous, there are going to be guns, fights, and a love square. I am SO in. You have no idea.

Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)

What: Japanese, 11-episode drama starting on April 15 (I think?), a comedy/romance with scifi overtones. It's about an office-worker who accidentally ends up ordering an android lovebot and has to deal with the situation.
Why: Leaving aside the giggle-inducing premise and the hotness of the male lead (Mokomichi! HOT! And he also had a meal or a dozen so I don't feel ill when I see him shirtless!), this is based on one of my favorite mangas ever, by one of my fave authors, Yuu Watase. I am so eager to see it in drama form.

So here are my four shows. In addition to obviously whatever I choose to binge on.

Cool. I'm gonna be following PO and BSG as well. I know this seems lame, but I'm hoping PO has a happy ending. I've been watching so many depressing things lately that I just want a drama that ends happily. I honestly don't give a crap about realism. And I doubt that BSG is going to end up with all of the cylons and the humans holding hands and skipping off into the sunset, so I'd like for at least one of the shows I'm following to end happily.

Maybe I'll jump on Dr.Who bandwagon, but we'll see. I don't know about Zettai Kareshi, though. Although I haven't read the manga, I have read spoilers and it doesn't really seem like my thing.

AB is wacky but no idea if it's your thing.

PO looks light and fun but you never know...

PO looks light and fun

HAH! How many times have I said that to myself? Then--WHAM! tumor! Or--WHAM! OTP is long lost sibling! Or--WHAM! (Hong Gil Dong spoiler!)

I've learned not to trust Kdramas thankyouverymuch.

Or--WHAM! (Hong Gil Dong spoiler!)


LOL. Now I am imagining President ordering his bodyguards to take his kid out because he is too much bother and Chae Rim fighting valiently to protect him with her stilettos. And they all end up dying.

And they all end up dying.

As is often the case in those deadly stiletto fight scenes. No one ever gets out alive.

OH, Kara and Lee!!! Babble away :P

Have you seen the season premiere yet? They were so awesome in it, I had to dust off my K/L icon.

I am all over two of those already, and may give the android boyfriend thing a chance. Should I read the manga in anticipation? I think I will.

On another note, I can't help but boggle at the ;ack of professionalism that must have been involved in choosing to wear the bottom part of that outfit while guarding the president's son. But I love Chae Rim and the premise too much to care.

That's just a promo pic. In the drama she wears a pantsuit:

Which is a lot better.

I am totally amused that someone already noted on the soompi thread that they want the leads of this to hook up in RL. Ahhh, drama fans, never change.

AB manga is hilarious.
