Musings of the Obsessive Kind

And dysfunctional fun continues. I am beginning to believe Saran and Damo are both into some sort of weird emotional BDSM.

( Mmmmmm, hurt/comfort and other goodies )

Well, at least, look at it this way - at least one of you is not a suicidal stripper and the other not a badass mercenary who feels it's somehow his fault that a nice upperclass girl ended up that way. But then you'd be Amy/Jackson from Swallow the Sun. One of my favorite secondary OTPs ever.

Everyone, I apologize for the delay. Miss Short Attention Span got sidetracked. In rl, I am on ep 21 now but need to upload ep 19-21 caps so have the summary for eps 17-18 here.

When we finished with ep 16, Jung Woo has hit rock-bottom of angst. Let's see if he digs himself out.



Clearly, not so much!

( See a shrink, Jung Woo! )

Ahh, the cheery cheery ep 16.



( I am still waiting for the comfort part of the whole hurt/comfort deal to kick in )

This was the angstiest, most thoroughly depressing thing I've seen in a good long while.



There are nine (!!!) episodes left. I am morbidly curious to find out what they are going to find to torture Jung Woo next with because they are seriously running out of ways to break him further - they are going to have to resort to amputating limbs! I should have remembered this was brought to me by guys who came up with IRIS, Lobbyist, and Kingdom of the Winds as a fun light entertainment.



You have NO idea how much I was craving for Su Hyun to go in there and cuddle him so he could cry in her lap. Yes, I know why she can't. No, I don't care about logic. I want some comfort in that whole 'hurt/comfort' equation.

I will be back with proper episode 16 recap.

Once I finished banging my head against a rock to relieve the angst, that is.

ETA: You guys, I am so obsessed with StS I didn't even watch this week's Oh My Lady yet because it would interfere with marathonning.

I had all sorts of things to talk about and sum up about eps 14 and 15 but then the amazing shippy angst scenes with Jung Woo/Su Hyun and Jackson/Amy happened and I am afraid that sort of took over the post.



It was epic. It was Bollywood in its angsty yearning epicness.

( Enter here for some high-grade angst )

And then the episode wasn't over but I turned it off to go to bed because there was only so much angst I could take in one sitting and I needed time to locate kleenex for my bawling anyway.

ETA: Found this OTPs-of-angst scene on youtube, yay!

Ummm, episode 15 sort of killed me with the main and secondary OTP angst.



My heart, you guys, my heart!



The girls getting together and discussing what bastards their men are made me grin and grin however.

But ohhhhh...seriously.

My heart.

I am not sure what was sadder - Jung Woo watching Su Hyun sleep, all night, as if he will never see her again; Su Hyun crying into the phone demanding for Jung Woo to come and beg her to take him back; Jackson's hands shaking when he almost reaches to touch Amy's hair; or Amy clinging and refusing to let go.

Oh you idiotic stubborn woobies!

I am not telling but I may have cried.

I need all the drama angst I can get because Spring season looks disturbingly light on angst.

Proper recaps for 14-15 coming.

1. You guys, I just realized that somewhere in that really really long synopsis for Road Number 1, they promise me "passionate lovemaking" by the OTP when they hide in an abandoned building! With the hero on one-day military leave in the middle of war! While they are hiding from her former fiancee!

*is dead now*

2. I ship them already. Can Bad Guy be here sooner?



I plan to check out all three of the starting Wed/Thurs dramas, am enjoying Oh My Lady and want to watch Dong Yi and Birth of the Rich.

But nothing gets my excitement pumping the way the summer dramas do: Bad Guy, Road No. 1, Kim Soo Ro, (a period drama about a warrior city founder starring my total obsessive crush Ji Sung! And reuniting him with his Swallow the Sun costar Yoo Oh Sung who played Jackson in StS and became a big crush), What's Up (Im Ju Hwan!), Comrade (another Korean war drama), My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox (Hong Sisters and Lee Seung Gi = love).

Ahhhh.

For the record, we are only 3 months into 2010 and I have already loved the following dramas: Chuno, Pick the Stars, Oh My Lady, Will It Snow on Christmas, The Reputable Family and liked what I've seen of Jejjongwon and Pasta as well. Good year!
