topazeraOkay, so flist, you may or may not know that I'm currently in love with asian dramas. It's like American TV, but much crackier! And since they have a set amount of episodes, they never have a chance to fall off-track and become terrible! Seriously, it's so great to just a 12-16 episode season to watch of pure fun.
If you're new to dramas, I'd have to recommend you actually start with Hana Yori Dango as that's the show that hooked me. It's a recent classic for reason! However, there have already been great pimp posts about that show... so here's one about my current show that needs more love/fandom: Full House. It's about an aspiring writer, Han Ji-eun who, through a series of plot twists, winds up sharing a house with Young Jae, a famous actor.
You should watch Full House if you like:
1.Terrible Amazing Amazingly Terrible Fashion. While Young Jae can't quite compete with the ~outfits~ put together by Chuck Bass or Domyouji, he does like to expose at least 30% of his chest at all times. And, as far as they go, it's a very nice chest. :D
(That lime green crocheted v-neck is still seared on my retinas.
Btw, all ~looks~ come from just the first two eps. XD)
2. Han Ji-eun is both adorable and not afraid to kick some ass/be generally immoral. Like, conning some celebrity (...okay, it's Young Jae) she just met out of some money because she really does need it! Or headbutting him in the face. Also, her profession is an "internet novelist" which is just how you put "fanfic author" on your resume. She's one of us!
(Yes, Han Ji-eun will headbutt you in the face and chase you down in three inch heels.)
3. Couples who aren't too cool to like playing on a swingset. Seriously, the main couple enjoys psedo-dates would make many 13-year-olds say "Please, that's so lame" but are really adorable activities.
(Examples: learning to ride a bike, going ice-skating and, of course, playgrounds.)
4. There's a scene in which both our male and female lead try to make the other nervous by stripping off some clothing. It's as awesome and hilarious as it sounds!
(Two words: strip chicken.)
5. You need the sweet, sweet crack that only asian dramas can provide. Trust me, you do.
(Warning: Do not watch for the plot.)
ALSO: You might recognize the actor who plays Young Jae from his infamous rivalry with our very own Stephen Colbert. RAAAAAIIIIN! ...This brought me so much joy.
If you're interested in downloading this, or any other, Asian drama, you should go join [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. It's an awesome community that's provided me with many hours of entertainment. <3
Coming up next, icon posts. And why you should go watch Nodame Cantabile, because I'm going to be flailing about that one too. It has more plotty elements in addition to the adorablity and crack. Pfft, if that matters to you or something! ;)

Date: 2009-03-10 03:41 am (UTC)YES, that's always turns out to be AWFUL. Shows slowly meandering downhill because they have no set ending is pretty much my number one problem with American TV. I wish we had some equivalent to the Asian drama system. Or British TV, I guess.
K-dramas tend to get redundant and tedious (as in if you've seen one drama, you've probably seen them all)
Ha, Full House was only my... fourth drama and first kdrama. I'm a little nervous other won't be able to live up. I can only watch so many identical love quadrangles/people almost getting hit by a car/hugs in the rain!
I feel like popping my discs in right now.
*steeples fingers* Exxcellent! That was just what I was going for. :D
THANK YOU AND I HOPE PEOPLE HEED THIS PICSPAM!
Thank you for the awesome comment! I HOPE PEOPLE DO, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW INCOMPLETE THEIR LIVES ARE!

Don't forget the cancer!

Ha, I've been actively avoiding the cancer. I mean, I like some angst but I'm not that masochistic! XD
