lesbiassparrowEpisode 6 is usually where Kdramas really find their feet in the angst department. My Girl has not let me down.
We have Girlish Secondary Hero angst. I shall name him now because his pain moves me: Jung-woo. Jung Woo has now fallen in love with heroine. And given her a snow-man for her birthday. Very touching, though he still won't get the girl. He and Philip from Spring Waltz should get together and swap notes about how being really, really nice doesn't work. And then angst in the snow because that would be quite affecting. I am also going to watch a film with the actor as a cross-dressing clown that a Korean king falls in love with. (No, that is not at all relevant to the subject at hand, but LJ has this power to compel you to post everything that is going through your head.)
Heroine (Yoo-rin) is also sad because she loves the slightly priggish hero who cannot lie. (He can, however, pay other people to lie which is apparently entirely different. I feel like this is not a fair stance but I am not writing this thing.) Her dad has also been thrown in jail and she needs more money to get him out which is not lightening her mood at all. But she cannot ask the obvious source (Jung-woo) because of awkwardness about the whole being in love thing.
Hero (Gong-chan) is the least angsty of them all. Of course, he is saddled with the completely annoying Tennis Girl of Lip Gloss Excess (or TGoLGE from now on) so he does have pain. He looks nice when he worries but I am not sure what he will be like in full angst mode, however, I look forward to finding out. I figure that should be episode 9 or so.
TGoLGE is evil. Yes. What a biddy. She invites Yoo-rin to her triumph party for tennis excess and gets all huffy when Gong-chan goes to look for her because she is not feeling well. And then she insists on him taking her home because she never saw a party she didn't feel entitled to crash. She is all huffy because after deserting Gong-chan for two years everyone is not all delighted that she has decided to go for him again. And she mopes because he is not as madly in love with her as he was before she dumped him without a word. I suggest she checks some astronomy textbooks and finds out that the universe doesn't actually centre on her. She is also keeping the lip gloss industry working overtime to feed her clearly insatiable desire to smear the stuff on.
I love the aunt of Hero and her sort of thing with person-I-not-sure-what-he-does who works for family.
ETA: Where does Gong-chan buy his clothes? At 'Hideous Carpet-like Jackets 'r Us'? MY EYES ARE BEGGING FOR MERCY.
