VV EXCITED FOR ALL THE FIC NGL

lol, Eleonore should be credited for that gem. I swear 90% of our conversations these days consists of shading Tan's wardrobe.

I AM HERE LET US ALL REJOICE AT THE HORROR THAT IS THIS SERIES!!!

I was going to comment on E/T sooo much but THIS: And one of the instances of manhandling comprised of him pulling her into a dark closet in order to initiate a kiss that she literally wouldn't be able to refuse.

ACTUAL MOTHERFUCKING RAPIST OF BEAUTIFUL LIPS WHAT THE FUCK KIM TAN?!

I HATE HIM SO HARD.

I thought nothing could top his creepy-ass smile after he CONSCIOUSLY ensures that Youngdo will get beat by his dad (BECAUSE DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW MUCH I WANT TO KICK HIS BALLS INTO HIS SPLEEN AFTER THAT) BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED.

The epic levels of SQUICK that is Tan upsets me hourly.

and the show has no plans to address how problematic this relationship is. At best, the separation might force both of them to grow up and then maybe reunite in a less fucked up fashion but at this point IDGAF. It is seriously such a shame that the single WORST thing about this show is its central storyline.I cannot accept this ending unless I retcon the hell out of Eunsang ( ... )

YES LET'S

You know how I feel about that fucking closet kiss.

tbh nothing will probably squick me more than that stunt with Youngdo's abusive scum of a father. Top of the list of repulsive things this show has let Tan get away with.

I'm not sure what you mean by ending? AFAIK there are more episodes to come?

Ugh, you're not wrong about Tan following his father. Weirdly, the show has implied the same (Youngdo taunting that Eunsang is Tan's mistress), but I have no faith they will follow up on that satisfactorily.

HA, I'm pretty sure "the women in my life always hit me" was meant to indicate that Tan likes ~feisty women or some shit too. HMMMM.

I actually think Youngdo becoming friends with Tan again does make sense? /o\ Insofar as Youngdo has clearly been craving Tan's approval (why) forever, and Tan is prepared to ~take him back~ once he's secured Eunsang. /o\ /o\

ALSO EUNSANG/YOUNGDO NEED TO FUCK ON EVERY FLAT OR OTHERWISE LUMPY SURFACE AVAILABLE TO THEM. and then they will burn your villages to the ground and laugh and laugh ( ... )

I have very little knowledge about this show but I do really enjoy all the posts about it. Ya'll are wonderful. WTF are they doing to poor Lee Minho. Also, I agree that's a NOTP just based on him grabbing her all the time. Why do people do this. There's a lot of girl grabbing in anime too... is this some kind of pestilence in people's brains?

I love that you read reviews for shows you don't watch.

A pestilence indeed. It's not even the shitty behaviour (which I can deal with if presented as SHITTY BEHAVIOUR), but that in the case of Lee Minho's character it's completely normalised and never addressed as shitty. NOTP CENTRAL.

I pretty much read anything my friends post and I've been wanting to watch heirs just hasn't gotten to it.

And yeah that's what I mean, does she yell at him or anything for his attack kissing?

ever_neutral December 1 2013, 07:58:35 UTC
Heh, I'll be interested to see what you make of Heirs. It's definitely not for everyone.

And no, Park Shinhye's character is not allowed to call Lee Minho's character's behaviour out because he essentially guilt-trips her whenever she does something he doesn't like.

(... This is probably not the greatest endorsement to watch the show. Suffice it to say that aside from the main "romance", everything else is really compelling? Ha.)

MY ENTIRE LIFE I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT. (LIZZIE, WHERE ARE YOU.)

I'M HERE, I'M IN PAIN, I'M IN ECSTACY, I'M ONLY UP TO EPISODE 15 SO I'LL BE BACK TO COMMENT WHEN I'VE SEEN THE NEXT EPISODE.

JUST SO MUCH FUCKING CONGRATULATIONS ON THEM ACTUALLY GOING THERE.

ENDGAME OR STRONGLY WRITTEN LETTER TBH.

ever_neutral December 1 2013, 07:52:18 UTC
LIZZIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

TELL ME YOU ALSO LET OUT A WOMANLY SHRIEK UPON THE OCCURRENCE

AND LIKE, IT MAKES ALL OF THE SENSE TBH? THEY ARE THE UNWANTED REJECTS, SPURNED BY THEIR FIRST LOVES. THEY ONLY HAVE ONE ANOTHER ON THEIR SIDES. OH TEEPEE.

(WATCH EP 16 AT ONCE AND RETURN WITH YOUR VERDICT)

A SHRIEK MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HEARD

A SHRIEK MAY ALSO MAY OR NOT HAVE BEEN HEARD IN EPISODE 16 WHEN I REALISED THEY WERE TOTES ENDGAME AND THE WRITERS MADE A GOOD CANON CHOICE OTHER THAN CHAN-YOUNG/BO-NA BUT I DON'T EVEN THINK THEY'RE PART OF THIS SHOW MOST OF THE TIME.
.
[he who wears the ugly sweater must bear the weight of the shade.]

his blue fluffy one is now only second in my heart to the pink fluffy one.

THE IMPOSSIBLE AND UNIRONICALLY MELODRAMATIC LOVE STORY OF CHA EUN SANG AND KIM TAN and as we all know that is literally my least favourite thing about this show,

I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE AND ALSO WITH THE FOLLOWING RAGE!SPEW ABOUT THE RIDIC OF THIS COUPLE. I love that Young-do witnessed them looking like a loved up couple THE ONE TIME IN ABOUT 3 EPISODES WERE THE CONVERSATION DID NOT START WITH TAN WRIST-GRABBING HER VIOLENTLY, NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION. Like seriously, he fucking aggressively pulls her towards him sometimes just be like 'hey'.

Never mind the fact that she has not been A PARTICIPANT in most. ( ... )

A SHRIEK MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HEARD

I SHOULD THINK SO

idk man, the pink angora is hard to beat. but the blue one had shades of Cookie Monster and ate half of Tan's face, so fair.

SO GLAD TO BE UNITED IN OUR NOTP HATRED. HOW DO PEOPLE SUPPORT THIS PAIRING, IT BOGGLES THE MIND.

this show seriously has a problem with juggling its huge cast, you're not wrong. and i maintain it would be improved by cutting 90% of the Eun-sang/Tan screen time and giving it to Bonsang.

Eun-sang/Myung-soo/Young-do is an acceptable brOT3.

LISTEN, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE ORIGINAL OTP EVEN THO THE SHOW HAS. R.I.P. THE LOST POTENTIAL FOREVER.

LISTEN, I HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW AND I'VE BEEN DYING TO COME HERE INSTEAD, BUT CAN I JUST, FOR THE MOMENT SAY, YES TO EVERYTHING. BECAUSE, IT IS LITERALLY TO EVERYTHING. I COULD NOT SHIP HYO-SHIN/RACHEL HARDER IF I TRIED TBH. And that vulnerable expression on her face when they crossed paths and she told him to love because she was uncomfortable (l m a o@calling someone two feet away to move out of your way), I DIED. MY CHILDREN <3

AND I WILL COME BACK FOR THE OTP. I WILL BE BACK SOMEDAY FROM THIS WAR. WAIT FOR ME.

\o/ \o/ \o/

This show will inevitably fuck me up in the way of endgames lbr BUT THE HYO-SHIP WILL ENDURE. GOOD PREVAILS.

AND I WILL COME BACK FOR THE OTP. I WILL BE BACK SOMEDAY FROM THIS WAR. WAIT FOR ME.

I WILL WAIT FOR YOU /Mumford
