Damo pictures + a little about Ireland

This is a copy of the post I made yesterday in [livejournal.com profile] dorama_chat , Here

Damo
I have started watching Korean period drama "Damo" from [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore’s recommendation and it is an absolute classic.

Short synopsis: 17 century Korea: Chae-Ok was separated from her brother in infancy, after their father was accused of treason. She was taken as a servant into a rich house where she met "a son of mistress", Hwangbo. As they grew and learned martial arts together Hwangbo replaced for her the lost brother. When Hwangbo joins Police and becomes a Commander, he takes Chae-Ok with him as a tea-serving officer (HEE! They had tea-serving officers in Korean Police :D). Later Chae-Ok meets charismatic rebel, Sung-Baek.

Damo is great in many different ways:

- Fabulous trio of main characters

- Storylines that make a lot of sense, move fast and no less engaging and interesting then any of big-screen films, and not only in the romance part of it.

- Love story to die for.

- Commander Hwando who is a paragon of masculinity, reserve and passion

See: Beards? What beards? I don’t notice any!!!:

First part of the love triangle: Chae-Ok / Hwangbo



























Second part of the love triangle: Chae-Ok/ Sung-Baek:













And AWWW! Commander Hwangbo on his own, because is so great!!!

Ireland
I have also started watching Korean drama "Ireland" with Hyun Bin (because he is fabulous beyond any words) and he is so cute and young and everything else in it, but the main heroine doesn’t fall in love with Hyun Bin?? What?? No, I am afraid, I have to give this a miss. :D Also dialogue seems to be really quite bizzare.

It's okay! It's not your fault. I'm downloaded up to episode 10 now. Hopefully I can watch some episodes tonight. I hope the rest of the season will be posted soon. :)

EEEE! They are great in jdoramas community!! They really are. I'm so thankful you showed me that community since I can't use torrents at school.

I finally saw the part where your icon is from. :swoon: It kills me every time when he asks her not to hate him so much...
