dangermousie*meep* Lobbyist.
Now I know which scene my icon came from!
And it's AWESOME.
Is there anything hotter than a tough guy who is so ultra-protective of the girl he is in love with?
EEEEEEEE!
I love that scene so much, because Maria has been taken by TPTB who think her snooping is incovenient and they plan to kill her quietly but Harry finds out and he is there, trying to defend her against a whole bunch of thugs and getting beaten to a pulp (side note: I love that Maria herself is tough: she is fighting pretty hard as well).
And then he is knocked out and Maria is too and they are going to smash her head in and he manages to get himself between her and the stick and as a last conscious act shields her with his body OMGOMOMGOMG.
That was AWESOMENESSS.
You know, this drama has a really cynical and bleak look on those in power. Both the chief lobbyist, Harry's 'mentor' and the seemingly bona-fide, noble General (and the other, smaller characters) are totally scum. All they care about is power and money, and to hell with the rest.
I love the scene (contemporaneous with the beat-down) of Other Guy going to General and telling him to let Maria off or he would go public with some damaging info and General laughing in his face and telling him does he think the prosecutor or newspapers will listen to him, does he really believe that.
And Maria and Harry only get saved through last minute scruple of chief lobbyist and also because Other Guy goes down on his knees to General, giving him the info he had, and promising to do whatever General asks (which means getting engaged to General's daughter because General wants into Other Guy's rich family. Oh, poor woobie! The scenes of him pre-engagement? Yikes)
So yeah.
Also, I love the scene of Maria running in with a gun to shoot that mobster and Harry stopping her by holding her and she is hitting him and crying at the same time.
And then they are in the bar later and she tells him that when they took her away (in Korea), she thought he was dead and she thought someone else died because of her, and she is crying and he very very slowly, and very very uncertainly reaches to pat her on the back.
EeeeE!
And then he spends the night sitting on the edge of her bed, soothing her nightmares, waking her up when they get too bad, and holding her and telling her it's OK and stroking her hair OMGOMGOMG.
Did I mention that Harry's sis and her boyfriend are as sweet as pie? Seriously, I want to squish them together and give them puppies!
ETA: Am now watching ep 9, and it's official. This has finally replaced Time between Dog and Wolf as the most hurt/comfort drama I have ever seen (well, technically, only 'hurt', as both this and TODAW are mighty short on comfort). I never thought anything could beat TODAW but oh boy...Whoa.
Also, TANGO. I approve.

Also, I love the scene of Maria running in with a gun to shoot that mobster and Harry stopping her by holding her and she is hitting him and crying at the same time.
OMG. That's one of my fave scenes ever in the first half of the drama. I felt Maria's pain and anguish. The look on her face is pure hatred and it was only Harry that could save her from ruining (ie. committing murder) herself. OMG LOVE.
And then they are in the bar later and she tells him that when they took her away (in Korea), she thought he was dead and she thought someone else died because of her, and she is crying and he very very slowly, and very very uncertainly reaches to pat her on the back.
Eeeeee! I am pretty sure I was melting watching this scene since I distinctly recall SIG looking VERY HOT, especially with the dim lighting and all, LOL :D
Mmmm. I want a rewatch of this episode. Which is it again? Ep 5? Or 6, 7?

This is so incredibly enjoyable.
And seriously, how hot is SIG? *fans self*
Also, I am on ep 10 now and clearly the whole 'kick the crap out of Harry' continues. I am wondering that character has any intact organs left :)
Also, did Maria sleep with Abhullah?????????!!!! OMG.

Date: 2008-06-09 02:07 am (UTC)Yay! And thanks for letting me know the particular ep. I think I'll watch it tonight for a quick pick me up :)
I am wondering that character has any intact organs left :)
Apparently so, because he doesn't even leave any bruise marks or scars. Oh, and all his teeth are still intact, amazingly :D
Also, did Maria sleep with Abhullah?????????!!!! OMG.
Yup, the prick. See, that's another thing I hate about Stupid Soldier Baddie (aka Maria's "mentor") - he makes her do all those things. It's almost like Maria sold her soul. Just like Harry sold himself to Mafia Lady, I guess >_>

Well, at least so far the Mob Lady didn't make Harry sleep with her (though I think she would like it).

Yup. He doesn't age, doesn't leave scars, and survives on zero sleep. Yay heroes!

*meep* Well.. now that you mention it....

Date: 2008-06-09 02:16 am (UTC)Mmmmm...apparently he doesn't get infections too. He was OK after having a bullet removed with unsterilized knife!
*meep* Well.. now that you mention it....
OMG. Really?????
no subject
Date: 2008-06-09 02:20 am (UTC)Well... not technically (hooray!) but it did come close. She had too much pride to actually force him into doing it, I think. Harry got into a lot of shit with Mafia Lady's Husband, though, for it...

Date: 2009-03-17 12:37 pm (UTC)I just love how Harry always seems to be scheming something, but around her, he kinda reverts back to Ju Ho...
