The Hanging Gale: Update

[lesbiassparrow]

OH. MY. GOD.

IT'S LIKE THE IRISH MADE A KDRAMA BUT DECIDED THAT THEIRS WOULD BE EVEN BETTER AND HAVE THE POTATO FAMINE AND MUD AND DONEGAL AND EVERYTHING.

ETA: And despite this being the McGann brothers and Michael Kitchen show, the female roles and actresses are pretty damn good. Also, I cried buckets at the end. And throughout.

ETA 2: I am not saying I will, but there is a strong possibility I will watch that all over again. And, unnervingly, even though it was all about misery and Ireland in its worse moments I now really, really miss home. *slinks damply off to mope and sniffle*

After reading everything you said about this show, now I want to see it too! Irish Kdrama sounds like win to me! ^_^

It really is like Irish Kdrama even though there's no cancer/amnesia/stepsibling love (though there is FORBIDDEN love, which is the best sort).

I highly recommend it. I may *ahem* have watched it twice.
