(no subject)

It occurred to me that a few people who might be interested in this may not have seen it yet, and so I bring you the trailer for the Korean adaptation of Antique Bakery. I am told by those who know such things that it's actually much gayer than the manga. (Which, actually, is kind of interesting. With Korean dramas, you usually have to interpret a hug as kissing, and a few pecks as a makeout session. But the movies? Not so conservative... At all.)

Anyway, trailer:



I have to say, even though I'm not very interested in the movie, the trailer is addictively cute (I think it's the music) the food pr0n looks amazing, and that's the first time I've ever thought Joo Ji Hoon looked attractive at all. (Yes, I know, heresy, but I've never understood why he's so popular.) The Very Very Gay baker is cuter, though. If nothing else, it looks much more entertaining than the Japanese adaptation. How anything with Fujiki Naohito and Abe Hiroshi managed to be dull is something I'll never understand.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking of starting a drinking game for anytime someone says Yoon Eun Hye should have been cast as Makino in the Korean Hana Yori Dango. Seriously, did she even audition? And, frankly, I can't picture her in the role. I like her, but in 24 episodes of Goong and 4 of Vineyard Man, I've seen her stand up for herself exactly once. For about 7 seconds, and then it was back to the cutesy protesting. Still, I have 12 episodes of Vineyard Man and all of Coffee Prince to watch, so my opinion could change. If nothing else, Vineyard Man is already a vast improvement over Goong.

Oh. JJH's character was my favorite. I thought what he did was unforgivable and I loved him anyway - I understood where he was coming from. But I think meganbmoore would prefer the cop.

Mawang is my second favorite drama ever.

Yeah! It was totally awesmome how both of them did unforgivable things, but you get attached anyways. XDDD

Mawang needs more love. I'm pretty sure the comm for it is dead. ToT

lol, what's your favourite drama then? XD

Legend, with Bae Yong Joon and Lee Ji Ah.

Do you mind if I friend you? I always love having more people to discuss dramas with.

Oh~ Legend. XD Hmm, I only JUST started to give saeguk a chance (Once upon a time, when I was a naive and ignorant little kid, I associated saeguks with boring historical epics that drag and don't go anywhere. And if it's historical TV epics, then I automatically assume the set and costumes will be lame and not well funded, due to too many bad experiences with certain hkdramas. ^^;;) but I just watched 4 eps of The Kingdom of the Winds and am definitely in love with it so far. XDDD

Of course! I'd love to be friended! Erm, there will be random book/manga/anime talks too, and slashy talk, and I don't tend to post RL things, and I'm very very shallow, so you may sporadically see me rant for an entry about how hot so and so actor is and that should be a good enough reason to watch so and so show, but if you don't mind, then yeah!!

I am watching KotW now too (am through ep 8) and am in mad love. So good.

Legend is a 24 ep fantasy/period kdrama and they poured money into it.

See e.g. picspam for ep 5:

I like books, manga and anime and am totally fine with slash. I barely post anything personal and as to shallow fangirling? I love it!
