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

[alexandral]

(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.



********** Spoilers look away *******


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:

Sounds like my milder fandom experiences.

Ahahahaha. If you think it's crazy, check out Easton of Eden threadd. 300+ pages of insanity (btw, I finally gave up on EoE - got bored).

Hahahaha, sounds crazy. :D

Moon is so precious! I snagged some pictures, might make icons of them in the near future. :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeee! I adore the pics! Thank you! :D MGY is so adorable. It is no wonder that my fave Korean movies have her as leads (Innocent Steps and My Little Bride) ^^ I am a bit disappointed with the ending. I was hoping they would end up together. Hiks hiks.

I'm also browsing soompi mainly for pictures, but also for som news snippets concerning my favourite actor.
Most of the time it's just...weird, but as lomg as I can ignore those weird things its alright.

Ah, I find most fandoms totally off the wall. Scary stuff. They may start out as ok but insanity usually develops at some point. That's why the only one I'm active in is the HH one, it's so comfy. :)

Haven't found time for PotW yet. I think I'll rewatch Resurrection out of the way first.

LOL @ soompi fandomwank!

Oh how i'm so glad that no one died!! I'm bit sad that no one got together but that's still better than death. :P

Oh these pictures are adorable and very iconable. I might come back later to make icons of. :P

I also have very bad news about Park Shun Yang being ban from acting in dramas O_O: http://www.hanfever.com/2008/12/05/park-shin-yang-permanently-banned-from-taking-anymore-drama/
