02:33 pm - EXCUSE ME WHILE I SCREAM MYSELF INTO A COMA
OH GOD
OH GOD OH GOD
I watched ep 9 of IRIS and was feeling so tense and wound-up I went and spoiled myself for ep 10 -- which I NEVER do -- just because I HAD TO KNOW. THIS IS WHAT IRIS DRIVES ME TO. UTTER MADNESS.
ohgodohgodohgod

02:18 pm - Went to a bar the other day that only played 70s music. At first I was afraid.
LEGEND OF THE SEEKER PREMIERE:
Charisma Carpenter as a Mord Sith.
For those of you playing at home, Mord Sith are the dark lord's dominatrix troops, who break men into leashed loveslaves through torture and BDSM. When not terrorizing their victims with leathered electric phalluses, they serve each other as lesbian mistresses.
( SPOILERY PICSPAM FOR S2. )
I love this show so much, you guys. I missed it. There are a million things I need to be watching, dramas I've promised people, honest-to-god quality TV I should catch up on -- and instead I drop everything to download Legend of the Seeker. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

03:36 pm - An article for Life Management: "Girls have a higher risk for pregnancy."
*CRYING WITH LAUGHTER*
I HAVE FOUND THE MOST BENDED GENDERBENDER TO EVER GENDERBEND.
Ai wo Utau Yori Ore ni Oborero!
Where the feminine-looking hero crossdresses as a girl to capture the heart of the heroine... who is a masculine "prince" of an all-girl rock band... dedicated to looking like boys.
?!?!?!
Then she throws him down and they have sex while he's in a skimpy kitty costume.
THIS IS A BOY.
THIS IS A GIRL.
THE BAND.
THEY ARE ALL GIRLS.
Akira becomes their lead vocalist as an undercover chick. That is to say, he's a boy pretending to be a girl who looks like a boy... who by shoujo standards could actually be a girl.
The honest-to-god official plot (besides getting the OTP together) is that their respective all-girl/all-boy schools are jealous of their relationship, because the girls want Mizuki for themselves and the gay guys want "their princess Akira back" (and consider his girlfriend their "love rival").
I JUST... I CAN'T EVEN.
You have to see this for yourself.
( MORE. )

03:05 pm - I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it's like to be a dinosaur.
1: It might be a sign you're too old for YA books when you don't care about the teenage hero, but think his father sounds like a sexy bitch.
2: I've finally started Ninkyo Helper on the recommendation of, oh, everybody. I can't believe someone didn't strap me to a chair and force me to watch sooner! Kuroki Meisa as a lady yakuza boss! She chokes people with canes! She looks delicious in a suit! I also went and spoiled myself via fanvid because I have absolutely no self-control. 3:49 MADE ME FEEL KIND OF FLUTTERY.
3: Am all caught up with Lost, and I have only one question: WHERE IS THE SAYID PORN? I've read every pairing imaginable. I've read smut for John Locke digging a hole in the dirt and fucking the spirit of the island! WHERE IS MY SAYID PORN?!
Also if there are people who don't like Juliet, I pity them, because they must be retched little cave gnomes.
ETA: If anyone else managed to ignore the show for five years, you can find every season on Hulu. EVERY SEASON. Kiss your free time goodbye, because I sure did. (In fact, my first reaction to seeing them was "OH FUCK" because I knew what it meant for me.)

03:45 pm - Today I managed to yell "pika" right before a sneeze.
IRIS bed scene too hot for broadcast television:
There were concerns for the appropriateness of the content given the drama's age-15-and-up rating, so in the end parts were edited out.
LMAO LMAO. My god, they wanted to show sex? To teenagers? In between all those scenes of people getting shot in the face and strung up by garrote wire? And I thought IRIS was fun for the whole family!
I'm only disappointed they didn't broadcast it uncut but censored a la Friend Our Legend. Can you imagine Lee Byung Hun's finely muscled buttocks under a giant blur? Like two golden apples fighting for dominance.
( IRIS eps 3-4. )

04:59 pm - I don't trust men with curly hair. I can't help picturing small birds lying sulfurous eggs in there.
OMG
OMG OMG OMG
I've watched the new kdrama IRIS and it is FRIGGING AWESOME.
Spies, assassins, explosions, makeouts, action, drama, gratuitous male nudity, eyeliner-wearing bad guys, love triangles all over the place, promises of some kind of mystery/conspiracy (the way to my heart) but above all: an OTP I love wholeheartedly without any of the usual caveats.
They're sexy and flirty and their chemistry is off the charts. You know how they meet? In university. Insulting each other over history. The hero is intrigued by the heroine because she's smart. He courts her (which she ignores), tries to impress her (which she isn't), and even hits the books to outsmart her in class (to which she smilingly shuts him down and he sneaks little glances of instant adoration when he thinks she isn't looking).
I think they hit me so hard because I'd just been watching You're Beautiful, where everyone loooves the heroine because she's so naive and cutely clumsy and isn't it sweet and don't you just adore her?
And then I watched IRIS, where the hero is charmed, fascinated, attracted to a woman with a brain she isn't afraid to use and an alcohol tolerance he can't even begin to match. (Yeah, she drinks him under the table.)
I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME.
THEY PLAY FOOTSIE IN TOP SECRET GOVERNMENT MEETINGS IN BUILDINGS THAT DON'T OFFICIALLY EXIST!
LOVE LOVE LOVE.

03:10 pm - You're Beautiful: Adrian Monk and Sister Angela walk into a bar...
Aaaaand today I watched a drama about a crossdressing nun who joins a boyband.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Everyone keeps comparing it to Hanakimi because of the genderbending, nevermind that girls becoming male idols is nothing new. I can't believe everyone has forgotten the hard-hitting drama that was Mendol! Come on, there were lesbian spankings and everything!
Lucky for us, You're Beautiful is here to restore our faith in deep, intelligent television, like when the heroine spends thirty seconds terrorized by a toilet.
( REALLY. )

03:16 pm - Why the Vampire Diaries will delight you to the very depths of your twisted black heart.
alf;lsdfjkl;sdfjsdff so I kept promising people I'd post "a few quotes" of the most egregious sections of The Vampire Diaries, and I'm sure everyone is surprised that I went overboard and started recapping. In my defense, these books are like pringles. Pretentious, overblown, crack-coated pringles.
Please be warned of spoilers for the entire series, spoilers I'm sure will appear in the show sooner or later.
( I swear my next post won't involve vampires. )

03:45 pm - "Are you going to leave or am I going to have to throw you out a window that is closed?"
So I marathoned True Blood!
And then I was just in time for the second ep of The Vampire Diaries, proving once and for all that 1) I have a thing for vampires, 2) I can never judge anyone for their taste ever again, because mine is cheerfully swirling down the drain.
(And fuck all the haters, Bill is my favorite character ever. I love his mopey face and horrible accent and ridiculous hair and old-fashioned propriety. I love him so much I even ship the OTP (despite that Sookie irritates me like a bad shave) because it means I get to see him naked and awkwardly navigating romance. IN HIS DAY, A LADIES CLOTHING STORE SOLD PETTICOATS! Maybe my real OTP is Bill/Bill's Adorably Quaint Social Fail.
And yes, I have watched all of S2 and read all the books. STILL LOVE BILL. I have plenty of experience shipping a Titanic -- I liked Duncan/Veronica too.)

04:14 pm - And in today's edition of "heroines threatened by barnyard animals..."
She caught sight of something dark in the branches of the old quince tree in front of the house.
It was a crow, sitting as still as the yellowtinged leaves around it. And it was the thing watching her.
She tried to tell herself that this was ridiculous, but somehow she knew. It was the biggest crow she had ever seen, plump and sleek, with rainbows shining in its black feathers. She could see every detail of it clearly: the greedy dark claws, the sharp beak, the single glittering black eye.
It was so motionless that it might have been a wax model of a bird sitting there. But as she stared at it, Elena felt herself flush slowly, heat coming in waves up her throat and cheeks.
Because it was… looking at her. Looking the way boys looked at her when she wore a bathing suit or a sheer blouse. As if it were undressing her with its eyes.
I AM READING THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
HELP ME.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CUT OFF MY HEAD FOR MY OWN GOOD.

04:15 pm - I had a bowl that said "chip resistant." So I filled it with potato chips. The bowl did not resist.
I'm four eps into A Sleeping Forest and ready to admit defeat: I would climb Kimura Takuya like a goddamn spider monkey. He flirts with his love interest and I get flustered.
 
Even when his character is a TWISTED NUTJOB he manages to draw you in. "Well, I'm not stalking you all the time. Here, let me give a toss of my luxurious silky hair and you'll forget all your objections to this relationship, which could also double as an episode of Criminal Minds."
 
They wonder why Kimura's recent dramas aren't doing as well as his old ones? It's because newer scripts never let him act like that.
brb, going to watch him lurk behind more corners, smiling to himself.

Triple finale: ( SPOILERS. )
And now I work off some of the backlog that's accumulated during my obsession with Lost. (Hulu should come with a warning label, seriously. "Oh, they put up the whole first season? That's convenient, I've been meaning to check it out...
...
...
...what do you mean it's already Friday, I just sat down to watch it -- wait, when was the last time I slept? Or bathed?")

HAS EVERYONE SEEN MEISA'S NEW PHOTOBOOK?
  
Y-YEAH. IT'S LIKE THAT. *___*
I don't know if she's taking a stance against airbrushing, or if the photographer just wanted a more natural/healthy look than the current trend of emaciated twelve year olds, but I flail and ♥♥♥ at her freckles and fight off intense jealousy and awe that YES, SHE REALLY IS THAT BEAUTIFUL. They should've called this book Kuroki Meisa: She Doesn't Need Your Fucking Photoshop.

03:49 pm - The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
SWEET HEAVENLY BODYSNATCHERS. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YAMAMOTO YUSUKE? The great part is that these posts appeared within hours each other. IT WAS A VERY GOOD DAY TO BE BROWSING MY FLIST.
I started Friend, Our Legend, which promised me rival gangsters in 80s Korea and best-friends-turned-deadly-enemies and Seo Do Young in schoolboy garb. What I didn't know?
Before airing, someone apparently decided that a gangster drama needed to be kid-friendly.
EVERYTHING IS BLURRED OUT.
Seriously -- any hint of blood or violence has been slapped under a blur -- in a gangster drama. The fight scenes are blurred. All weapons are blurred. Even the gangster's tattoos are blurred. It went from bizarre to downright hilarious. Don't worry kiddies, that's not a blurred baseball bat, he's just giving that man a CLOUD HUG! TO THE FACE!
My favorite is when the hero drops his cigarette to the ground in one of those artsy close-up moments -- and yes, it's blurred.
WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF THAT SHOT. "As a concerned parent, I had wanted to complain about this gross display of lawlessness, but since you blurred the filter it's clearly not recognizable as a cigarette, which of course my children have never seen."
I know Korean networks can be crazy with censorship (like in a BOF kiss blooper where the director yells at Lee Min Ho to CLOSE HIS MOUTH, thereby answering all my questions about the state of kiss scenes in dramas), but I thought it had to do with demographics and target audience? Do they think a lot of kids are watching historical gangster epics?
( More hilarity. )
