some things
Good morning! I have some random thoughts to share with you because this is my journal.
+ One of the things I love about City Hunter (besides its general EXCELLENCE) is that people actually figure things out. So many plots rest on people being stupid and not seeing what’s right in front of their faces, and I like that this show lets people be smart and put things together LONG before most shows would let them. Then it develops NEW ways to generate suspense instead of just dragging out the old ones forever to the point of disbelief. Good job, show!
+ Lee Yoon Sung has a sense of humor, and I like that about him. Yeah, he’s typically angsty, but he also is a goof. I imagine if he’d been raised by his mother, he would just be a goof all of the time. Favorite lines include: “I care a lot about my hairstyle” and “You wrinkled my clothes.” There was also something he said the first time he took a shower at Na Na’s house that was HILARIOUS but I cannot now remember what it was. Alas.
+ Kim Na Na is one of the most excellent heroines EVER. She’s brave and capable and kick-ass, but she’s also really emotionally open, and I love that. I am forever in love with [Unknown site tag]when she tells Yoon Sung that her feelings are hers, and she’s not going to force them on him but that he needs to cut it out with the being a jerk in attempts to push her away. Best thing EVER.
+ I am seriously considering shelling out $70 so I can own Mawang on DVD. We’ll see if I actually do it.
+ I am getting really giddy-excited in anticipation for The Borgias. LUCREZIA AND CESARE MY LOOOOOOVES. And Juan’s stupid face!
+ Also getting excited about Hunger Games! I have so many mixed feelings about the books, but I did love the first one straight-up, and the BFF and I are going for her birthday, so I am pleased. Also, Katniss remains awesome, even if her books don’t quite measure up to her.
+ My novel writing continues to go wonderfully. I shall not say more for fear of talking myself into a bad place. But I really do actually think I could get this one published, y’all. After a TON of cleaning it up, obviously.
+ On the other hand, I have written NO FIC in what feels like forever, so y'all should encourage me to do that.
And now for some FMM-related thoughts:
+ The Happy Endings poll makes me happiest of all the polls because the love is spread so evenly amongst the characters (except for Dave. Sorry, Dave). A show where everyone is that loved? Very rare, and it makes me happy.
+ Robin is just baaaarely beating Barney. I am going to cry if he beats her. I really am.
+ I don’t understand why Chris wins the Skins spot EVERY YEAR. I love Chris, but he’s that beloved? I just don’t know. I voted for Grace because of REASONS. But I also could have gone with Michelle or Tony.
+ I wish all the Damon voters would switch their votes to Elena as Damon CLEARLY would want them to do. I love Caroline like mad, and I will campaign for her against loads of people, but I just wish Elena could win this year. *wistful*
+ I wish I could come up with a fandom institution as awesome as the Fandom March Madness or Yuletide because the idea of bringing that much joy to fandom just makes me happy.

I only mention it because we had friends that shelled out $160 or so for an epic kDrama that we had access to for free (after purchase of Roku box, of course). Just sayin'.
Fic: you should write some. It'll be great!
no subject
What is a Roku box? I'm interested!
I've already seen Mawang and love it madly, so I would be buying it the way I do BtVS and such, rather than because I don't have access to it. I only buy things I know I'm going to love forever.
And yay for fic encouragement!

Me either now!!! I get the feeling that Lee Min Ho is just a natural goof - like Rupert Grint - and that comes out in his dramas: much of his timing is similar to how he behaves in Boys... Also - he did all of his own stuntwork, which is pretty incredible. I pretty much fangirl all over him whenever I can.
Kim Nana is by far and away one of my favorite Kdrama heroines - she is so fierce! <3
Love hearing your reactions!!!
[I really should get back to watching Mawang but alas - haz not had time/patience for subtitles this week]

I've become really fond of him! And I am SO impressed by his stunt work. Seriously? That's amazing.

She is! I love her madly!

I understand!
no subject
Yeah - my Roomie and I investigated because there's NO WAY that they could have found a stunt-man with Lee Min Ho's build - that boy is TALL and THIN. Also, even with his mask on, you can tell that those are his eyes.
I've become really fond of him!
Yeay!!
She is! I love her madly!
Kim Nana has the benefit (for me) of being my first adult Kdrama heroine - as much as I love my girls (Chaekyung/JanDi) - she's a woman in her own right and I really just love that about her.
Also - I have BIG FEELINGS for the Inspector - but I think it takes a while before he really is lovable.

I love that very, much, too.

The lawyer-dude with the vet ex-wife?
no subject
Yes. Though - is he a lawyer? He really blurs the line between detective and lawyer - Roomie and I were never really certain what his job actually was, because he seems to be in the field a lot more than a lawyer should be.

I don’t get as into FMM as everybody else, but our Gracey badass didn’t win?? I’d have thought this would be her year, come on people!
.On the other hand, I have written NO FIC in what feels like forever, so y'all should encourage me to do that.
Mmmm, if you mean "get prompt-y": AU happily married, kdrama-esque Grace/Rich? DO IT, DO EEET.

OH MAN. OH MAN. I might have to do that. OH MAN. Like, they actually got married in the S5 finale? And now they're still babies but married babies? OMG I MIGHT HAVE TO DO THAT.
no subject
Ah, dang. That always does split the votes a ton.
And now they're still babies but married babies?
Married babies! Oh Skins, all that potential! *weeps*
Married babies, yesss, and then Alo is the chauffeur of their Just Married tractor, and Nick keeps accidentally knocking down Grace’s figurine collection at the house-warming party, and Franky freaksthrills them by making frilly black baby clothes as a wedding present, and and and!
no subject
no subject
Oh! And Grace and Maude so need to interact!
no subject
I love Maude SO MUCH. I have not watched any episode since Rich's, but if I find out that Maude showed up on Liv's, then I will watch Liv's just to see Maude.
no subject
It looks like Maude does show up, based from what I've seen on Tumblr. But there also appears to be a grave site scene. I don't know if my heart could take that!
no subject
now I don't see why Matty needed to exist AT ALL. They could've given all of his Franky storyline to Nick (minus the weird staring).
HAHAHA I LOVE YOU.
Oh! So torn! Maude vs. graveyard scene! What a decision!
no subject
Haha, I never paid attention to it before, since I only just watched Skins, but... yeah, that strikes me as odd. I figured Effy would be the favorite, but maybe my flist has biased me, lol.
On the other hand, LOOK AT ALL THE LADIES THIS YEAR. I am SO excited about that, just in general, even if my faves don't make it. (Elena! *sob*)
no subject
LOOK AT ALL THE LADIES THIS YEAR.
The tide has definitely turned!
no subject
I voted for Effy anyway *g*

ROBIN WAS VICTORIOUS I COULD CRY, EH.
no subject
I voted for Alex, and Penny is probably my second favorite character, but I know a lot of people would have been so happy to see Jane go through that had I known it was that close I totally would have switched to Jane.
no subject
YAY FOR ROBIN! SHE IS VICTORIOUS AS SHE DESERVES TO BE!
no subject
Kim Na Na is so one of my favorites ever. And she's definitely got the cutest name of any kdrama heroine ever.
I will never understand people who don't grudge vote in Fandom March Madness, or people who don't pool their votes to defeat the fandom nemesis (Sheldon, Dean, etc). I mean, yes, you want to vote for your favorite, but is that really a point worth sticking to when your vote for that character means that a character you don't like goes through?
(Of course my whole thing this year is strategically placed votes to pave the way for Leslie to take the crown. Knope we can!)
no subject
- misunderstandings, crossed signals, general stupidity - all in the name of dragging things out for as long as possible.
The fact that they DON'T do this makes me SO HAPPY. I cannot even tell you. I seriously thought the show was going to be mostly over before Na Na figured out that he was the City Hunter. And then she figured it out so early! And so did Prosecutor Guy! And then they found his mom when I thought she'd be gone forever! Basically: things happened more like they really should, and I was appreciative.

Yes indeed!!!
Oh, I totally grudge-vote. I changed my Molly Hooper vote to John Watson so he'd beat Sherlock (who I LIKE as a character but do not want to see win) and things like that.
KNOPE WE CAN INDEED!
