Musings of the Obsessive Kind

And that is Chuck/Sarah. I mean, I shipped them by default from the start because I usually am fine with whatever canon ship a show gives me, but I actually became one at the end of ep 4. The scene where he gently asks her to tell him one true thing about her, even a little thing like her middle name, but not really expects it - guuuuuh, meeeeee=dead. I am pretty much a sucker for sweet boys and tough but secretly vulnerable gals.

Have finished first five eps of s1 and have just ordered s2-4 from amazon. Obsession city, it's nice to visit you again!

(I am so behind on every show in existence - whole seasons as far as Sons of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire are concerned) but new obsession beckons.

These two crack me up:



And these two make me melt:



And these two just make me very happy:



Yay for long dramas, as I now have an OTP smorgasbrod!

It's official - I am a fickle shipper. By ep 5, my shipping is as follows:

Un Nyun has scene with Tae Ha which is filled with hugging and UST? I ship them.
Un Nyun cries for/remembers Dae Gil? I ship them.

I give it up, just have a hot and sexy threesome. Preferably on-screen.

But whichever way it turns out, I am basically watching for the moment Dae Gil finds Un Nyun again. Travelling with (and possibly fallen for) the man he is hunting.

World Within continues to be pitch-perfect: there is one moment between Ji Oh and Jung Young in episode 5 which is so giddily romantic and in-love it makes me swoon but yet so normal and real I could easily see myself or people I know in it.



Another thing I find so interesting is how each episode sets out a theme, so to speak, with an opening narration by either Ji Oh or Jung Young but sort of modifies it by the end - e.g. in ep 5, Jung Young muses in the beginning that if there is one thing she could change about Korean drama limitations it's the concept of Sungyoung (i.e. 'self-sacrificing devotion') because it's unrealistic.

But the rest of the episode proves her wrong but in a very different way - people are capable of self-sacrificing devotion and unconditonal love, even if it's not necessarily going to be towards a partner - see e.g. that actress who goes through men like socks and who treated Kim Minchul so badly - she is capable of sungyoung, but not towards a partner but towards her mother. Or take Jung Young herself (or Ji Oh) - from the spoilers I have seen they are also capable of it in a relationship, even if it is on a human scale, not the crazy emotional hothouse of dramas, but even without that, she is capable of self-sacrificing devotion to her work, as is Ji Oh - they work at crazy pace for months with barely any sleep or food to produce the product which is as perfect as they can make it. And yet, this point is never hammered into our heads. You can think of it or not, as you choose.



This drama is so ridiculously good!

I cannot wait to watch more!

I just saw a bit of ep 15 of Worlds Within and OMG YES the ship I wanted and didn't think was going to happen came true! ( Spoiler for which ship )

Also, do spoil me - what is the reason for Ji Oh ( refers to spoiler for something )

Yes. I am insane. I have not seen the first 12 eps but am streaming 13 as need to find out the state of the ship - yes, the ship I ship before having seen the drama. Whatever. Am insane. What else is new.

( Shippy spoiler )
