Kdrama Skience

[lesbiassparrow]

Oh, Kdramas, you manage to put Bollywood to shame with your medicine, which is a tremendous feat, what with Bollywood's penchant for magically curable blindness. Apparently in Korea leukemia can only be treated by an operation (which no one ever has the money for, of course). And eye cancer can be caused by a car accident. I have to admit the latter is my favourite crazy skience ever and it's got tough competition, such as the mystery illness of Spring Waltz which could also only be treated by an (obviously unaffordable) operation and dangermousie's current show, which has bullets lodged in brain which will kill the hero by some determined time.

And (in case you couldn't guess by this post) the heroine of Autumn Tale has just delighted me by having leukemia. She now lies wan and pale in a hospital bed with Playboy by her side, while Fake!Brother is off with suicidal Other Woman.

ETA: I am literally crying I am laughing so hard at Fake!Parents and Real!Mother each discovering that heroine has cancer. Real!Mother was wailing away and then Fake!Mother just keeled over sideways onto a chair. And Fake!Dad just widened his eyes as all the womenfolk wailed. IT WAS GLORIOUS.

ETA 2: I am ashamed to admit that there is a certain amount of ffing through the endless scenes of people wailing over the heroine's pale, wan face. But now we are galloping to the inevitable tragic ending.

I am watching an anime that involves the heroine being sent off to a school run by nuns for noble girls! And she's being bullied by the student council because they believe she's A SPY!!

So they demand to see her underwear. Because you can tell if someone's a noble by their underwear.

...

What if she had just borrowed someone else's knickers? Or wasn't wearing any?

Seconds befor e the Student Council president acted on her threat to cut the uniform off her with a sword, another girl ran in with underwear from the heroine's trunk. Which they all stared at in shock: "THIS IS HEMMED IN REAL LACE! IT IS NOBLE UNDERWEAR!"

And then the bitch was all YOU HAVE THE RIGHT UNDERWEAR. BUT YOU CAN'T BE A NOBLE. SO YOU ARE A SPY.

Can we put this in our Ultimate Kdrama?

We can have it in the one set in the distant past when women were solely judged on the quality of the lace in their knickers. And the hero sniffs her shoes as a sign of his passion.

Also!

Then you will horrified to find out how I howled with laughter at the funeral and the hero's tragic death shortly afterwards. There were tears! But not of sorrow. I think I'd expended all my emotions in the 6 episodes given over to the heroine's tragic illness.

Hold on, hold on, the hero also dies? How? Did he get run over by a bus?

Heh.

Better or worse than Bali?

ETA: Now you simply must watch Sorry I Love You. Bullets in brain! Weepy-weepy-weepying. Everybody dies!

Re: Also!

Close: he gets run over by a lorry while walking emotastically through the streets. Single best moment in a kdrama for a long time.

It's better than Bali because I didn't really connect to any of these people. I just enjoyed their angst like a fine wine.

You are kidding, right? I was joking!

ROFL.

Yeah, I ended up liking the dysfunctional abused one in Bali so I couldn't revel in it like I should have.

Seriously. Sorry I Love You is where it's at: he randomly clutches his head in agony and writhes on the bed.

Re: Also!

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I'd have to order Sorry I Love You, which does sound like my cup of tea. I am going to dl Bad Love this weekend and enjoy the delicious 8 episodes available.

Re: Also!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

You can dl SILY. (a telling acronym).

Did I also mention that the hero of SILY emoly talks about going up to the sky?

Re: Also!

I bet he gets an emo montage at the end too.
