What I'm Trying to Say
A Coffee Prince Ep 9 Picmix

*Psst, "picmix" = picspam + fanmix.

Spoilers for the best scene of episode 9!
No seriously, it's really good and I'm going to spoil you for it.
Image heavy, dial-ups beware.
Featuring music from Azure Ray, Stars, Sarah Harmer and Joshua Radin.

Alright, guys. I've finally finished putting together a little something for the most awesome scene in Coffee Prince thus far! You knew I wouldn't be able to resist. This originally started off as a single scene picspam for picspammy's challenge this month. However, I spent so many hours in Photoshop, capping and resizing and recoloring, that I got super into the playlist I made for background mood music. And since the song "Across the Ocean" was so essential to the power of the scene* and I love that song so freaking much, this project quickly became a hybrid picspam/fanmix (I'm calling it a picmix, because I'm just clever like that. XD). So there are seven songs overlaying the shifts in the scene, with hopefully not too distracting lyrics laid over the picspam. I hope you guys enjoy!

*By the way, I completely flipped out (WITH GLEE) when they played that song. Azure Ray is currently one of my favorite bands. I could not have chosen a more perfect background song, even in my most wild fandomy dreams. Coffee Prince Music Supervisor, please marry me.

P.S. - If you're looking at this without having seen the show, the reason this whole scene is so heartbreaking is because the lead guy (Han Kyul) thinks that the lead girl (Eun Chan, in the yellow shirt) is actually a guy. And since he's always been very straight, this is causing him a lot of sexual orientation confusion and angst. Also, I made an introductory picspam/pimp post for the show over here. And go!

As always, I love comments! Just don't spoil me as I'm moving through this show at a very contented snail's pace.
Also, please don't use the picspam for your own art. It's kind of ridiculous how much I fidget with the coloring.
Thanks for looking/reading/listening! :D

I don't watch this show, but so pretty! And I will definitely be downloading, because we both know about my crazy feelings for your last mix, which I totally wrote an essay about. I trust your taste in music!

[saemiligr.livejournal.com]

... Can I marry you?

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

Eee! A Coffee Prince picspam/fanmix! I also loved this scene. :D

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Most people are probably going to check this out because they know the fandom, so it's really a treat to have it work the other way. The music choices aren't quite as deliberate as other mixes of mine, since it was an "I need music for Photoshopping!" playlist at first. I hope you like it! And thanks for giving it a download, of course. :D

Oh, Coffee Prince. You fill me with glee, *and* stomp on my heart.

Gorgeous picspam. I can see how much effort you put into this.

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Totally! If you're okay with it being a group thing, I've already promised myself to whoever picked Across the Ocean to play on top of one of my favorite Coffee Prince scenes after all! ;)

I'm glad you liked it, bb!

[topazera.livejournal.com]

I know, I was able to make a mix for just one scene because so many different emotions flicker by in a just a few minutes of this show.

Gorgeous picspam. I can see how much effort you put into this.
Thank you! That means a lot to me. It took me a while to find the coloring I liked on this one. And of course, I felt I needed to take the logos off all the caps because I'm a little bit crazy. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :DD

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Coffee Prince sort of owns me right now.

Also, I love your icon so very much! Don't worry Han Kyul, Eun Chan in a tuxedo is a dream of mine too. Amaaaazing.

[maxiechan.livejournal.com]

Love that scene!! And the lyrics fits great!
Beautiful picspam!! n_n

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

Don't worry Han Kyul, Eun Chan in a tuxedo is a dream of mine too.

Haha, I know! I grew to adore Eun Chan. :D

Oh an I just remembered that you were the one who made that Nodame Cantabiile picspam for picspammy last month. :D I'm actually watching it now and I love it so far. XD

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's actually a girl! She's playing a character that often gets mistaken for a guy, but the actress is really gorgeous in real life. I think the show does an great job of blurring the gender line a bit.

If you want more info on the show, I actually did an introductory picspam when I started watching it: here. It's really an awesome watch.

Thanks for checking out the mix/picspam even though you didn't know the show! That's awesome! :D

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Once I got these songs associated with this scene, I just couldn't resist! Coffee Prince totally owns me right now. :D

YES.

Epic win! That is what you're made of. I watched this show about two weeks ago, and oh, how it owns my soul. I love love love this scene, even though it broke my heart at the same time.

[kairi-jaganshi.livejournal.com]

afjdksjfds OMG I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS PICMIX IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. 8D

I love the coloring for the picmix, and the fact that you did a picspam to go along with the lyrics! ♥ So many emotions in just that part of the episode, I love it! 8D

But damn you! Now I want to rewatch this amazing show, but I'm already running out of space on my harddrive. D8 *redownloads anyway*

Thank you so much for this picmix, I can tell it took alot of work and I appreciate it. 8D Never stop picspamming this show! lol /shot

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh! So beautiful~ One of my favorite shows/scenes. Downloading asap, thank you ^_^

[quiet-fractures.livejournal.com]

Okay your picspam convinced me. I think I'm going to have to watch this show because it reminds me of Young Americans and well I loved Hamilton/Jake. It was both hilarious and angsty.

[kiarasayre.livejournal.com]

Holy crap this looks so good! And I'm with you on the snail's-pace - I've been on episode ten for I think about three weeks now. XD Taking, obviously.

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

oh god! I saw the title and saw what scene, and INSTANTLY starting flapping my hands. this scene is AMAZING.

..admittedly, my write up of this scene adds in a LOT more smartassery, but i have problems, ok?

but he holds her HAND, and she lays down in his LAP, and he curls up all around her, and it's KILLING him, and im back to flapping my hands again, so i should probably go.

I LOVE THIS SHOOOOW.

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Hah, I know! This post is like, painfully earnest but I just can't help myself! It's all so good. I swear, when I started I had no idea CP was going to be quite this emotional. I did not think they'd go to a place where there would be heartbreaking SECRET ANGSTY HANDHOLDING.

..admittedly, my write up of this scene adds in a LOT more smartassery, but i have problems, ok?
Oh man, is this an actual write up or an in-your-head write up? Because I'm totes stalking everyone's old Coffee Prince posts.

THANKS FOR COMING AND FLAILING WITH MEEE! I kind of cannot handle my love for this show. :D

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

tis a write up i did in email to send to some friends to try to bring them over to kdrama and CP in particular. ive been toying with the idea of actually POSTING it, but really..it's very smartassy.

I AM QUITE HAPPY TO FLAIL WITH YOU ANYTIME!

:D Super Coolie!

[homocoucho.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get warm and fuzzy feelings whenever my mind drifts to Coffee Prince. Definitely downloading the fanmix, although some of it I already have.

Great job!

[princesaskater.livejournal.com]

omg!!!!!!this is one of my favs scenes, my fav I think when han kyul want hug her oh my god I almost die there ♥ hahaha

Donwloading the fanmix thank you ♥

[slantedsunlight.livejournal.com]

I may or may not have flailed in excitement when I saw this. Coffee Prince is by far my favorite drama of all time- and I've seen a lot of drama. And yes, the music for that show could not have been better, at all, at any point. And these characters are fantastic, and this is my favorite scene as well, and I also flipped out when they played Across the Ocean, and this is a beautiful picmix (hee!) and I'd like to sum up by saying marry me, please. We are clearly soul mates. Or, maybe Seoul mates. :D Hope it's okay if I friend you!

[slantedsunlight.livejournal.com]

Did I mention that I have all the music you put on the mix? Because it is also awesome- some of my favorite songs. <3
