All right, so princess_dexter posted about top drama boyfriends, prompted by this discussion over here. And I'm partial to lists. Particularly lists about males in excess of physical attractiveness and potential as mating material.

...Also because I'm scared to go further in Spring Waltz because I am terrified it will end in sudden DOOM and TRAGEDY and I just ( Read more... )

Ooh, you have wonderful taste! (Soon it will be time for Smile, You and I too can fall in love with Hyun Soo oppa~!)

Yes to everyone, and you summed up my feelings for Tae Bong much more eloquently than I could - his confidence is attractive because he doesn't in any way trample on anyone to gain it, it comes from his acceptance of who and what he is, and that kind of maturity is unexpected from a character of his age (and good nature and stunning good looks).

And KANAME JUN! IN A BACKPACK! Looks like I'll have to watch RnK after all, I have it sitting on my harddrive but I'm yet to start.

Oh, and that cap of Skater Boy doing the heart-thing in the background? MADE ME LOL, SO HARD. That pretty much sums up his part in the entire drama, right? And ugh, Hyun Tae stalkering. It really made me mad.

Also, I'm only two episodes into Hello! Miss but the main guy from that might actually give a couple of my top 12ers a run for their money. He seems good-natured, unflappable, and not afraid to say what he thinks (Lee Da Hae's character is ( ... )

I totally have a spot mentally reserved for Hello, Miss guy, tied right alongside Gong Chan! I didn't put him because in my head, HM guy kind of gets almost edged out by Gong Chan and the other (so. many. other!) similar type guys I dote on here, but that in no way reflects on him, and more on my feelings about the series as a whole and LDH's character continuing to be grating, which kind of left me wanting...more...something. But YES he's adorable and steadfast and AWESOME too--if I were to actually do 12, he'd so definitely be there. Hee, and that screencap perfectly sums up WHY. XD

that kind of maturity is unexpected from a character of his age (and good nature and stunning good looks).
He was! Tae Bong was all kinds of unexpected and I loved it! And they totally played it that way, too, what with the leading us to think he's some snotty playboy, but he's so NOT, so very not! Oh Tae Bong ( ... )

WHY HELLO PURDY PICSPAM.

Is it wrong I'm going down your thoughts and making a mental checklist of dramas I need to watch to see these guys in action? I really find myself interested in Dalja's Spring, even though the synopsis is so not my thing, because you're like the third person to profess a deep love for Tae Bong. I AM INTRIGUED.

So far from wrong! (But I am tickled silly, because usually I walk away from your posts with such mental checklists of my own!) Dal Ja's Spring is beyond great! Even greater than my love for Tae Bong, honestly, honestly, is how much I like Dal Ja herself. I can frequently say I like well enough most female main characters, once I hem and haw and make lists of excusable traits I wish weren't there but are so I try to accept them and move on. But Dal Ja, I truly liked and maybe even kind of admired, and enjoyed getting to learn more about as the series progressed. The show actually has several strong (in different ways, interestingly) female characters that I liked getting to explore, and I do not say that lightly--I am a consummate fastforwarder of secondaries' scenes!

So BE INTRIGUED! BE VERY INTRIGUED! :D

fl;sdfjsdlfjsdf it all sounds so interesting (and I love me some Chae Rim from Powerful Opponents) but I confess I'm dragging my feet because I don't care about 30+ office ladies looking for love. Is that really prevalent?

No! No, wait! It is SO so so so not that! It's not--it's like... Dal Ja! She's a dreamy one, that girl, and she has some high notions of romance and love. But life, the universe and everything! Pretty determined to keep her down and make her a spinster! So she starts to cope with it and work on accepting things as they are! Wouldn't you know, then some contradictory ideals of love sneakily present themselves to her!

Oh, that sounds cheesy. I mean, it is, it's about love and falling in love... But it's also totally about women of a certain age totally in a continual process of learning to love themselves. And what sort of compromises (if any) they're willing to make for work, their families, and yeah, love.

Ugh, still cheesy.

One lady is this totally fierce, frigid man-eater! There is nothing cheesy about her!

Man, I suck at this. But I do still support your watching it! (But...maybe not as much as I do Bad Family ^^)

Counter-stalking, complete! A list like this is the best way to get me to delurk during a counter-stalk, well-played ( ... )

Counter-stalking is always welcome. Even if I have no cookies or tempting pastries on my counters. (See, 'cause "counter," and... Yeah ( ... )

Heh, see, this is what I meant by having some dramatic drama differences! I would have liked Hana Kimi even without Nakatsu. Shoot, now I am banished. : )

Oh, I'm glad you've finished Spring Waltz! Man, the ending was so beautiful. I knew ahead of time whether it was happy or not because I prefer to know that going in but it was EVEN MORE THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED. ♥ And now I have a huge crush on Han Hyo Joo and Top and I are in the very early stages of watching Brilliant Legacy so I get to see her face again, yay!

Yaoh, that is also definitely on my list. It has Kaname Jun and MATSU-NII. How could it NOT be? I am watching too many dramas right now or I'd start it immediately.

Smile, You has an intimidating number of episodes. I feel like it's something I start when I am not watching a lot of other things, and maybe it would take the place of two kdramas in my viewing lineup.

Thank you for bringing so much love to sparklehole! Top and I are always glad that we have a small but DENSELY FANTASTIC viewing audience. ♥

Happily, banishment in the land of insipidity is a thing of whimsy and lackadaisicalness. ;D

Oh, Brilliant Legacy is so great. I hope you guys enjoy!

Smile, You is awesome like a freaking mountain. There's a lot of totally worthwhile scenery and stuff to make you glad you came, but there are enough rocks littering the path to make it kind of a hassle, too. But when it's good, it's very good!

And oh, we, your loyal viewing audience, are but moths drawn to the tempting sparkle of the hole! (And also, meat guns.)
