alexandralI usually get passionately involved with one thing at a time and other things just don't exist. :D But I am quite torn between watching two things at once at the moment – "Firefly" and "Let's go to the beach" (Korean drama)
Firefly Is quite unique. I love it's atmosphere, I love it's characters, I love it's soundtrack, I love it's dialogue. Hee! I had to switch subtitles on because I didn't want to miss anything, so wonderful it is. But the icing on my "Firefly" cake is the relationship between Mal and Inara.
Mal/Inara
Aren't they just so good together that having one glance at the two of them even standing next to each other one gets a definite "OMPH, OTP forever" vibe? And what is totally my thing: He is a type man who for some reason or another thinks that he can't have her. May be because of his status as a captain, may be because of her profession as some sort of geisha or may be because he has something broken inside his soul ever since they lost the War against Alliance and he doesn't want to allow himself even tiny thought about his own happiness. And a selfless, care-for-everyone, noble man is so much of "my thing".
Though I am a little angry and confused at the way Mal treats Inara. And I also a little confused why does she let him treat her like that? All the calling her "whore" repeatedly seems to be quite inappropriate. Ok, I understand that he is some sort of puritanical personality, which is a little confusing again considering his dislike of religion. But why is he trying to hurt someone he is so undeniably attracted to? Does he unconsciously want to push her far away from himself because he can't trust his own cool head in this? Or is he one of the people who must say what they think no matter what?
I understand Inara a little better. It seems that she had fallen for him hard long long ago. She throws his words back to him, but because she is so in love Inara doesn't try to leave "Serenity". She can't imagine her life without him, it seems.
Below are some screencaps from episode "Shindig": Inara is teaching Mal to swordfight. Aww! Isn't it such a great chance to get close together? My love for this episode can be expressed in tree words: duel, dance, dialogue. I loved Mal's protectiveness of Inara's honour to the point of almost forgiving him all his previous "whores" and adored that piece of fabulous dialogue that he left his opponent with :
"I guess I'm just a good man!..I'm alright."
Let's go to the beach: I am enjoying it much much more then I expected. It is bringing me so much glee that I keep grinning like silly whilst watching it.. It is light as a feather, very funny and has a lovely fast pace. I am through 10 episodes already (out of 14) and I find that this was one of the most addictive doramas I have ever "met". I watched about 6 episodes of it non-stop on Monday. I can't quite put my finger on why it is so addictive,, May be because I just feel happy whilst watching it and admiring eye candy in the form of Lee Wan and Jun Jin. Or may be because the story of Tae-pung and So-ra falling in love and finding their place in life feels so right psychologically.
I definitely rec it to anyone! Especially if you would like something happy to watch!
