YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

... *coff* Had to be said.

[darkeyedwolf]

HIIII! :D

[koichiko]

xD Heeey =D

Seriously, I'm happy. A friend of mine recently started watching "You're beautiful" with me and when I gave her your review to read she literally pissed herself laughing :D
So yeah, I'm totally going to watch this with her - we need more korean entertainment to entertain us ;)
Even if this dorama actually sounds like something with quality :3

[darkeyedwolf]

:D :D You're too kind! I love writing these reviews, so it makes me really happy when other people find them useful. And What's Up is definitely a great drama to watch!

I love this drama. Why aren't there more vids (besides the ones I did) and icons for this drama?!

[darkeyedwolf]

Wait, you made a vid? Where?? (And I totally agree about the icons, I want some of Doo Ri and her faces and her everything.)

[walkwithheroes]

At my journal.

here and here.

I'll make some very simple WU? icons later. . .

I'd make more vids, but I'm in love with Once Upon a Time and Rumbelle, so I'm just vidding that right now.

[darkeyedwolf]

Oh, I love that second one. *_________* I mean, they're both great, but the second one is hitting all my OTP buttons. I think they might have been my favorite couple after all... DR/SW were amazing but Tae Hee and Jae Hun had my heart from the very first episode.

[gashinenai]

... you have the amazing ability to make me want to watch whatever drama/movie you review

....... it's almost scary....

and I hate love you for that Xp

[darkeyedwolf]

MUSIC TO MY EARS.

Just spreading the love.

There is so much I LOVE about this show, but I was really disappointed in the ending. I just felt like they left everything hanging. I can accept endings that don't wrap everything up in a pretty little bow, but I like some resolution. Especially when it came to Doo-ri's relationship with her mom. And... a lot of other things but I just realized I don't know how to do spoiler tags on these new comment pages. Can you even? This is what I get for never being on LJ anymore! D:

[darkeyedwolf]

I was disappointed by a few things (I really wanted that "Fame" performance, and I expected much more fallout from Jae Hun and Tae Hee than we actually got) but on the whole I still loved it. I thought the you-know-what was fabulous.

Does the old spoiler text not work anymore?

*attempts*

Testing, testing?

[cranberrysheep]

Bah, what is my problem. Coding fail on my part I was trying to use divs and spans... I don't know where my head is.

I wish they would have done more songs in general, because they were always so much fun, both fantasy (random!Grease song) and actual (Stupid Cupid!).

There were just so many interesting storylines. It's almost like they over-committed because really, almost every character could have had an entire drama based solely around their stories. And when you're spread that thin something is going to fall by the wayside.

Like, Sun-woo had a nice, complete story. Which I think is why I was almost OK with how it ended. Because he dealt with his demons and found peace. But I don't feel like Jae-hun ever really dealt with his issues. I always felt like he was running from it, even when he was going to turn himself in. I don't know. And then Tae-hee's cameo in the finale felt really tacked on. I wanted Do-sung to get some more confidence. He had that confrontation with his mom and then his story really just stopped.

***FINALE SPOILERS***

[darkeyedwolf]

Yeah, I was kinda tired of "You & I" by the end, though that may have been because I replayed it so many times after ep six. XD I do wish we'd gotten more actual performances. I liked the goofing-around-with-brooms-and-props stuff (cute!) but I really did expect something grand from the finale because I assumed the "Fame" performance from the trailer would put in an appearance somewhere. Like, why would they film it and not use it? Was it one of the things chopped for time? If so, where did it go originally -

would Sun Woo have lived to see it?

Tae Hee's cameo was unsatisfying, I agree. I wish we'd gotten some hint of how their relationship would play out.

I also would've liked to see where Doo Ri went after everything. Where the future took her, etc. If she hooked up with Byung Gun or Soo Bin.

[idiosyncreant]

Height differences: wicked cute.

I'm pretty sure this explains the ENTIRETY of Taiwanese drama casting choices. I mean, you watch Ariel Lin bounce off of Mike He once and it's game over, practically...

DOO RI looks AWESOME
like, somehow right now I can picture her as always being the school's cute girl who gets her way, and then going over to the dark side makes her no long Plastics-frenemy material but a great girl-crush. (Also, the prof did not look that hot in the Wild Romance just a couple of months later, here he's totally sensei-crush material, what's with that?)

...nice punchline on this teaser post, btw.

gah. I AM going to watch this show, but not for a while...why are all the dark but fantastic musical triumph dramas hitting me at once?

[idiosyncreant]

Oh, I have one question: I was led to believe that Hades is kind of busted in the first episode...does this mean the appearance of leather and chest-muscle are limited-time-only?

...not to be shallow or anything.

[darkeyedwolf]

Sadly, yes. But he does give a pretty good show while it lasts.

Mmmmmm, Daesung.

[idiosyncreant]

Well da~ng
but he's working his blonde boy-band locks for the BigBang comeback, I'll just have to keep the face we'll see him in actual concerts eventually.

This is the sort of thing that usually once you're spoiled isn't as big a deal in the actual show, so hopefully it'll just be fun!
