'Cause two makes a trend.
The most memorable characters I've watched this year belongs to a specific category - you know the type, they are the ones that make you die a little inside with their every appearance, ones that make you root for them despite their terrible, despicable acts. Ones that make you question the moral ground you stand on, only for you to toss it aside, hands up in the air, yelling, Argh, I give up! You win! I LIKE YOU. I think.
Here's to characters that make you wanna wrap them in a blanket, hug 'em tight, and never let them go.
You know it won't end well for them, but that's part of the charm, I guess. Sad Unhappy endings have a tendency of staying in your memory FOREVAH, unlike your run-of-the-mill rainbows and unicorn variety. Kim Dong Wook's portrayal of a puppet king in k-movie The Concubine, for instance. Is there a sadder excuse for a king than he?
But the worst offender has got to be Yun Woo Jin in Arang and The Magistrate, because I now burst into tears every time I see Woo Jin-shhi's face. I'm not kidding, it's quite perplexing really. I'm hoping a happy show with him in it will rid me of this melancholy.

I will not dare... to love you.
I know!! I was rooting for my OTP in Arang and also feeling horribly guilty for him the entire time! At least he got a semi-happy ending?
ReplyDeleteanything's better than serving that evil witch. He just wanted a WARM MEAL and a mother, dammit. *burst into tears*
DeleteIt always amazes me how dramas can twist any situation to make you feel badly for someone. Like in Crazy For You - he drinks and drives and kills her fiancee - never thought I would be rooting for someone who did that. But they create all these reasons behind everything and you end up crying for the woobie and wanting the girl to forgive him and make babies with him.
ReplyDeletewow that sounds INTENSE. Count me intrigued. Is it any good?
DeleteIt was really very good. I wrote a long post about the first 5 episodes on my livejournal and made a music video for it here: http://ladysaotome.livejournal.com/tag/crazy%20for%20you
DeleteBack then it was the most angsty thing I had ever seen but I'm sure I've seen stuff just as angsty or more so by now. But wow - I mean, he killed her fiancee. That's a HUGE barrier between them. Not to mention she lives with dead fiancee's parents and fiancee's best friend has been in love with her since before he died.
Darn, what a complicated love line... sound right up my alley. *jots down in to-watch list* You do MVs too? WOW.
DeleteI do music videos but they aren't the greatest. I actually haven't made one in forever since I got so busy with subbing instead. But I still have a few i am working on. (Like one for ToGetHer!) If you watch it, make sure to make a post about it. I'd love to know your opinion!
