Of course it's all happening in your head, Byung Gun, but why should that mean it isn't real?

So I finished What's Up, and I was going to say something flippant like "BEST DRAMA OF THE YEAR" but... uh... considering that the competition so far has been "Yamapi The Funeral Director" and "My Mom Keeps Getting Hit On By My Friends and It Makes Me Uncomfortable", I think the superiority of What's Up is a given ( Read more... )

rocks fall everyone dances, what's up

I need to finish this.

Oh, and you NEED to watch Shut Up Flower Boy Band which, despite the worst title in the Universe, is adorable and scruffy and slashtasitc and has a cool heroine. It's like Gokusen with rock guitars.

You should! There's loads of crying and death! You'll love it!

I'd say something cutting and dismissive about that title except it actually kinda makes me curious. Is it a name? A command? Must... fight... intrigue...

I honestly have no idea where the name comes from. It is the most bizarre drama name ever, with the possible exception of Vampire Gigolo.

Here's a mv that gets the vibe pretty well:

Weird. Maybe because it's only been sporadic updates? XD I keep telling myself to post more regularly, but you can guess how well I'm keeping that resolution.

I'm not actually watching any jdramas. What about you?

It's just odd because I have a job that basically pays me to check LJ so it's not like I've been away from it for a long time. The last post I saw was back in October :P

I'm watching too many. Strawberry Night (because the lead female is really cool) and then Lucky Seven (Eitaaaaaa and Matsujun being with women is LOL), Risou no musuko (So much cringe and LOL and Fujigaya~), and then I'm watching Yamapi the funeral planner.

I started out not watching anyyyyyyyy of them and wasn't planning on it. But then, you know, I have to clean my room and do other productive stuff and that can't happen.

You can also find it on youtube, which is where I'm being forced to download it now that the entire internet has lost its mind. D:

I was having embarrassingly spastic reactions to this entire drama. I can't say I was thrilled with how it ended (the happy dancing part, it was just too bizarre for me) but it was pretty satisfying.

AND YES, YOU SHOULD WATCH THE BEST DRAMA WITH THE MOST EMBARRASSING NAME. SHUT UP FLOWER BOY BAND IS UTTERLY FANTASTIC.
AND THE LEAD IS SUNG JOON, WHO PLAYED A SOCIOPATHIC GOOD GUY IN WHITE CHRISTMAS. APPARENTLY I HAVE A TYPE.
(Soo Bin's actor was in that too... *awkward attempt at seductive look*)

OH BUT I LOVED THE HAPPY DANCING. SO RIDICULOUS. SUN WOO WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.

I was disappointed by the lack of "Fame" (I know they filmed it, they used it for the trailer, damnit) and I didn't like the way some of the plots fizzled out instead of properly ending, but on the whole, yeah, this drama made me really giddy and starry-eyed. *_____*

Boy Band or White Christmas? >____>

White Christmas. IT'S FREAKING AMAZING.

But srsly, watch boy band. It's beautiful and the plot actually makes sense. Let me repeat that: IT MAKES SENSE. And there are beautiful relationships, platonic and not, everywhere! The friendships are fantastic and the otp has a hilarious and mellow chemistry and askfhdlkgfsjdhf it's wonderful.

Okay, I confess it, I didn't expect a drama called Shut Up Flower Boy Band to actually have plot. XD That's three recs and the third time's the charm. I'm off to find downloads!

WHEN SHE WAS TRYING NOT TO CRY BECAUSE THE NURSE SAID HER EMOTIONAL STATE WOULD AFFECT HIS? ;________; AND WHEN SHE TRIED SO HARD BUT EVENTUALLY HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM ANYWAY? ;_____________________;

I've actually been on tumblr already, reblogging Doo Ri gifs like mad. XD I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

AUGH HIS WHOLE FINAL REQUEST THING HAD ME IN TEARS. Talking about "going to see" his dead girlfriend! And Professor Yang all shiny-eyed while pretending not to be affected! MY HEART!

Nope, that's the one. :D
