Dorama Update
Feb. 25th, 2008 05:33 pmHong Gil Dong : episodes 13 and 14:
- Hong Gil Dong is lovely, but I am having all kinds of maternal feelings for him. Poor boy! To have such a father! To have such a destiny which he doesn't want for himself but from which he can't escape!
- Hing Gil Dong's father must die. I am all pacifist and all, but this must be done. Seriously, man! Telling your son "What have you changed by your Robin-Hooding?" . So many things were changed by your son's actions!
- I am still all about the Prince. To think of it, his character is probably supposed to be younger than Hong Gil Dong, but he comes across as more mature for his years. What do I like? The truth is, a morally ambiguous character who has selfish thoughts and doubts but who ends up doing the right thing at the end is so my thing in fiction. I think I identify with this personally.. Besides, I like clever characters, devious and net-weaving. I find a brain in a man to be very very attractive.
- Hong Gil Dong and Yi Nok are meant for each other. He needs her as he draws his strength in her unconditional love. No, Chang Hui! You don't really need her, it is just your loneliness talking. You fell in love with the first person who looked at you as a person and not as a Prince/king/destiny/whatever. Get over it quick, please, or you'll lose her friendship.
- Hong Gil Dong and Chang Hui – oh my! What a duel of wills! What a firework of love/hate relationship! Thank you so so much, Hong sisters! Chang Hui needs Hong Gil Dong to tell him (for the first time!) what it means to be a good king. Hong Gil Dong , on the other hand, needs Chang Hui to tell him (also for the first time) that he needs to stand up to his father. And I don't really care that Chang Hui's advice had some net-weaving in it. It was just the thing that Hong Gil Dong needed. As much as it was net-weaving it was Chang Hui's attempt to see what Hong Gil Dong is made of.
- As anyone else, I hate madam Noh. BUT! Well, I can't forget the times when she and Chang Hui were hiding and had nothing to eat and she had to steal food. She was beaten badly at least one time for stealing food for her prince, she suffered. I don't know – may be there is a good side to her.
Also I loved:
- Yi Nok stepping all over The Weird girl's wedding silk! HAHAHA!
- I am kind of in love with Chang Hui's bodyguard. HE HIS SO HOT.
- Gom biting his toungue. This was so partisan-like!
- I figured out why they stopped cutting HDG's hair. This must be because he is in hiding and has no scissors?
Capital Scandal, episode 7
- Song Joo's dresses are to die for. Every one of them!
- I love this drama but I am getting this "terrorism is good and heroic when for the better cause" vibe which I am largely trying to ignore.
- I am all about Lee Soo Hyun. He has the best suits and he knows how to wear them. He holds his hands in his pockets in a strangely VERY ATTRACTIVE casual manner! And he angsts!
- Woo Wan is a lovely, lovely boy but such a big puppy!
- EVERYONE sleeps fully-dressed in Korea, wering taylor-made suits
- ( Update: Kang Ji Hwan has a great profile when he angsts )
Trick 2
Is it just me or is this season even quirkier than the season one? This drama must conquer the world; it has some of the best TV dialogues.
