The Painter of the wind + Soompi forums . And pictures of Moon Geun Young

(This entry is ranty in parts, I am fulfilling my monthly rant quota :D)

I just checked the soompi forums because I was waiting like mad for "The Painter of the Wind" drama to finish. Soompi forums thread for "The Painter of the wind" is another reason why I don't often venture into soompi forums, unless for the pictures. And it is not even a long thread, but it has it all:

If you think that your fandom or your forums are crazy, how about this, and all in a short 80 pages thread:

- Shipper War with the capital "S", magnified by the fact that one ship is a girl/girl and one ship is a girl/a man considerably older than she, with mutual offensive remarks and offensive remarks to the characters and the actors.

- People insisiting how HORRIBLE the drama is because it is not faithful to the book. I can relate to this very well because I am usually a book purist , especially if I have read it first and liked it. But guys - how about the rest of us who don't have a chance to read the book (in Korean) and like the drama? And why would you want to watch something that you don't like and post in the place where people who DO like it are likely to go? May be a personal blog is the better place for it?

- allegations that SBS (network) is tampering with the official boards

- allegations of name-calling

- conspiracy theories (the director prefers one actor to another and he made the writer to re-write the script!) OH HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DIRECTOR!

Gosh, it is a good thing that Soompi forums are far from the reach of Fandomwank.

No-one died, but eveyone is alone. Some say it is like "Iljimae". I can live with this and imagine the future developments YAY!

But at the same time soompi is a wonderful resorce for pictures. I found an excellent photoshot of the "The Painter of the "Wind"'s lead, Moon Geun Young:

I thought YEH didn't do a bad job looking like a guy in Coffee Prince, but her voice was still very much like a girl. But MGY, I totally agree with you. Especially if you compare her natural voice. You can tell she worked really hard. And her acting improved even more :D

YEH didn't look TOO bad, her body was a bit like boy's. But her face and as you say, her voice were quite girlish.

MGY also apparently gives huge donations to charities. :D

Yes, MGY is known as Korea's little sister for being so generous and adorable! ^^

I wish her all the best!!!
