tv because who am i
+ Y'all, I love Happy Endings so much. If you're not watching it you really should be. MAX THE BEAR. AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY WITH IT. ON THE UNICYCLE. WITH THE HONEY. OMG. And Brad and Jane continue to be flawless! With the pretend-fighting when they're really telling each other how awesome they are! And Jane dated only black guys (oh, Jane, of course you did!). And Alex and Jane have their own language! AND ALEX IS SO STUPID AND SO LOVABLE SHE HAS TOTALLY WON ME OVER. I just love everyone in this bar, I can't even.
+ I felt like this week's Parks and Rec was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the level of typical delight this show gives me. Plus, I really hate what they're doing with Ann/Tom. I liked the idea in theory, but she just seems so annoyed and hate-y all the time, and I want Ann to be happy. I had thought that he'd sort of win her over with his weird joy, but that doesn't seem to be happening. It just feels so much like settling, and I don't like that at all. On the other hand, the little bits we got of Donna in this episode were flawless. We need sooooooooo muuuuuuuuuch mooooooooooore Donna all the time. We really do.
+ I watched Delightful[/Sassy] Girl Choon-Hyang and it was one of those cases where I stayed for the OTP because they were delightful (heh), but the plot was just whatever. Okay, Choon-Hyang and Mong-Ryong ARE THE CUTEST. I love them both so much but especially Choon-Hyang because: best girl. Smart and ambitious and adorable and never judged for her ambition (the teasing about her being a money-grubber isn't even judgy!). And yes, there is something distinctly Ron-and-Hermione-esque about the two of them, with Choon-Hyang being smart and competent and Mong-Ryong being a slacker but smarter than he lets on and also only working hard at things if he feels he has a good reason. And I like how for most of the show he was the one just blatantly in love. I really love when the guy is the one who SHOWS HIS FEELINGS! and the girl is the one who's closed off. And I'm so fond of Ji Hyuk. He was the Wallace of Kdramas: best BFF! I was delighted when he became super successful!
On the other hand: DIE IN A FIRE PRESIDENT BYUN. At first I found it hard to hate him because: Uhm Tae Woong. BUT OMG HE IS THE MOST AWFUL. Like, seriously the worst ever. I don't know how you'd live with yourself if you were that way. I also did not like Chae Rin at all, which was sad, because I usually like at least feeling sympathy towards the Other Girl. But she was just awful enough that I couldn't. It wasn't like with Hyo Rin in Goong where I totally got her being torn between her dreams and Shin. I understood her, always. But Chae Rin was just basically terrible.
So I was there for the OTP and they were lovely enough that it didn't seem at all a waste of time to watch. Plus I liked the silly little historical interludes at the end of the episodes. TOO FUN.
+ Next up: Capital Scandal and probably City Hunter after that. And at some point I actually need to finish The X-files. And watch Breaking Bad and Justified. SO MUCH TV, Y'ALL.
