Musings of the Obsessive Kind

All these promos for Faith are making me want to rewatch The Legend - Faith's writer/director's previous drama. Legend was the first kdrama I liveblogged (despite being dog-sick at the time), it was my favorite drama for a long time (and may still be) and there is no doubt that Dam Deok is still my favorite drama hero of all time - driven, selfless, tormented, so very smart, ruthless, cornered. I love him. And I love Sujini (still my favorite kdrama heroine) and she and DD are probably still my biggest kdrama OTP - battle comrades, best friends, soulmates...

Anyone else feels like joining me in a rewatch? We could do two eps a day...

Have a shippy MV:



If Faith is half as good as Legend (no drama before or since have I been so possessed by), I will be ecstatic.

I don't even hate Hwa Young any more because she's too insane to hate. Hiring Dal to break up Jae Hee and Bong Sun is beyond evil. Does she really think JH would forgive her when he inevitably finds out? Also, that's just sick because not only would it deprive Bong Sun of romantic love, it would end up the sisterly relationship too. She's one sick puppy.

Anyway, why would I want to waste time on her when we have both angst and sweetness extraordinaire with our OTP?

From angst (oh my, YSY is even more gorgeous when he angsts).







To cuteness. Cuteness beyond words.





I love how straightforward and unwavering JH is (one thing I loathe is a hero who can't make up his mind as to whom he loves), but I actually understand Bong Sun's resistance - it's not that he lied about who he really is (though that does trigger her distrust), but that their current positions are so different - he is rich and with a lot of options and I think she doesn't have enough self-worth to think a millionaire might want her, even if she's willing to believe that a penniless parking attendant does.

HOW FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING DARE SHE?!





Here's a newsflash, lady (and I use the term 'lady' loosely) - he's not your property or your whipping boy or your toy. Oh, no, he might be finally finding happiness and his own life so what do you do? You expose him in front of his girlfriend but that also takes his whole life away from him. I don't mean in some dramatic "he needs her to live" (though, let's face it - he needs her so he could live with hope as opposed to merely exist), but I mean that his anonymity is taken away for good for everything - no more observing people as a parking attendant, or blending in, or anything. And you have the nerve to look smug?




Bitch. I could have been more forgiving if this stemmed out of thwarted, one-sided love or anything, but there is no love there - just irritation that your posession might be becoming his own person.



Also, it's just stupid. How on earth can she think he'll just happily go back to being her guilt slave?

I've never wanted the ceiling to cave in on anyone more.

MTF continues to be adorable and a great break when I am too brain-dead for Tree with Deep Roots.




Also this:





So, currently airing kdramas I am following in some fashion (first number is number of eps I've seen, second number is number of eps aired). In order of my obsession, from most to least.

( My list and my dilemma )

Secondary Lady, when you have a scene that makes me flash back to Something Happened in Bali, you oughta cool it way down.

Really.

Honestly, the dude isn't going to want to stay as your codependent survivor's guilt buddy if you act like a rabid hyena.

( Ep 7 stuff )

You know what occured to me after episode 6? Hwa Young will clearly do anything so Jae Hee and Bong Sun don't get together, but it is not because she is in love with JH herself or wants him to sex her up or anything. No, what she can't deal with is the possibility that he would be able to escape from the codependent, exclusive hell that they have been trapped in together for the last x years. Because she has no such way of escape.



In other news, ooooh boy, are kdramas growing up!

Also, not related to the above, but I believe, Padam Padam is named after this awesome Edith Piaf song:
