SungKyunKwan Scandal

A girl disguised as a man + a boy who falls for her and questions his sexuality + some pretentious idealistic higher purpose = a popular drama.

So finally I finished watching the SungKyunKwan Scandal.

To be honest, when I first heard about it I really wasn’t looking forward to it. At first I couldn’t even look at Yoochun in those stupid hats without laughing. But I changed my mind. Surely if it’s Yoochun’s drama I’ll watch it even if it sucks, but thankfully that wasn’t the case. It didn’t become one of my favourites, but it certainly is worth watching. Truthfully, despite my reluctance of parting with familiar characters, I think the drama should have been shorter. The peak interest for me was somewhere in the middle and then it got a bit boring. Lately I really don’t dig all those pointless sappy-teary scenes and there are a lot of them especially towards the end. But thankfully there are a lot of comical situations and it’s the thing that makes the drama worthwhile. Apart from the plot I really wanted to watch a historical drama for once. I’m quite fascinated by Joseon clothes and interiors and whatnot.
I don’t really like Park Min Young or her character, but as usual I kind of gotten used to it. As a woman she does look kind of pretty, but as a guy she sucks.
I’m not one of Geol Oh fans, but Song Joong Ki is charming and the chemistry between their characters is undeniable. I’m sure it was designed so subtly to please both slash and anti-slash fans. There was a voting on Mehanata. I voted for the latter, of course.

Which is your favorite couple?
A. Sun Joon & Yoon Hee (37%, 581 Votes)
B. Jae Shin & Yoon Hee (32%, 504 Votes)
C. Jae Shin & Yong Ha (29%, 453 Votes)

And the SunJoon/ Jae Shin awkwardness was made of adorable too:



Another thing is close-ups. I mean, it’s not like I didn’t see Yoochun up close. There are thousands of photos and all, yet this was different. Suddenly he seemed that much more real.

There were tons of positive reviews from the critics and from senior actors and I’m really glad, but I still need to say it: Yoochun did great. The first few episodes he was a bit stiff, but he kept becoming better and better throughout the series. The way he is able to portray emotions with his eyes and face is amazing. Lee SunJoon’s character is pretty boring, so I had to give Yoochun even extra credit for it.

The ending was... kinda lame and hurried. But fun. Oh, and I hope Jae Shin finally saw that Yeorim is the love of his life.
There! All done!

(Junsu) Just now…I watched all the episodes of SungKyunKwan Scandal from 15 to the end that I didn’t have time to watch before…In the plane on the way to Las Vegas, I cried and laughed a couple of times…I know this tweet’s a little out of the blue but…I’m a SKK fan..Lee Seon Joon fan..Yoochun was sleeping next to me while I was watching the drama, has it already been seven years..? Anyway, it’s been a while since I felt fascinated looking at a celebrity……I would be watching the drama, and then I’d glance at Yoochun’s face…Hm…… I must be crazy!! The GeumDeungJiSa is mine~ (6:07pm KST)

(Jaejoong) Junsu is my celebrity! (6:08pm KST)

(Yoochun) @0101xiahtic Hey!!!! I’m a fan of Junsu!!^^ I want just one strand of your hair!!!Junsu!!Start getting ready!!! (6:10pm KST)

(Junsu) Yoochun, right now, I feel like I could rip all the hairs out of my head and give you as many as you want… lol Does Jaejoong hyung want some too..? lol anyway, let’s all meet in Yoochun’s room right now, go go go go~! Let’s go search for the GeumDeungJiSa. (6:16pm KST)

Oh, I'm sure you'll find it, baby.

Airport fashion

Almost forgot about these. Heh. Promise I'm never going to scold Yoochunnie's airport fashion again. Flipflops and whatnot.

It's been about a year since I had my last cigarette. I never imagined quitting can be so hard. I still have a strong craving that nothing can replace. Guess I will start again at some point.

I don't know if I'll make it to the courses in this state even though I really ought to...
Anyway something I wanted to post. Damn resizing. It's Loving vs. Virginia.

I used to love the pairing, but my love rapidly fades away as the fandom is driving me mad. People can't agree on all matters and fandoms even more so. You should just accept this and at least try to keep it civil.

I made a sketch last night. I haven't done it for years, really. Guess it's a good thing. Porn and fanfiction can be quite inspirational. The sketch is fairly innocent though.

---

I was bored last night and so I decided to pose a question at YunJae community. There's nothing like passing time arguing with rabid YunJae fans... Gee, do people get butt-hurt easily. The good thing is the discussion managed to stay very civil. Who knew the topic would prove so sensitive? 110 comments by now.
I somewhat changed my opinion on the matter which means the discussion was good. But in the end I still don't understand a lot, but that's a matter of questioning a whole fandom and what it stands for. I don't want the whole YunJae fandom on by back, they're especially upset right now. Questioning their small thread of hope inevitable turns them against you. I do feel somewhat relieved now so it was worth it.

Last night it was fun, but this girl really pissed me off. Just... urgh! God, am I frustrated now. It's the second most pointless ugly and frustrating discussion I had within the last few days.

Reposted from lj for future reference:

Heh. You better do that. I just checked and I have 9 GB of well-sorted photos which is about 32.500 in 700 folders and about 5.000 of unsorted pics. And that's considering I always delete a lot after saving and only leave the ones I really like. I'm so screwed. --"

Now I can post that little picspam I wanted. I just love the way Jae likes to throw his arms around Yoochun's neck and burrow his face in his neck. There aren't many public shots of this yet... what an armful!))

From discussion of a new NC-17 fic today:

agrees with swoon21. i haven't read such hot, fabulous smut in days and you just satisfied this craving 8D am mem-ing this!

That simple and honest statement totally cracked me up)) she actually emphasized 'days'. For me it's usually weeks.
This week was cool though, I saved three NCs.

Ahh, it's been a very inspiring and productive few days. I really need some me-time once in a while. The downside is that I forget to eat.
Anyway, a quick and inaccurate overview for myself.

-made a crack edit and posted it around (both journals, masterpost, community)
-made several important posts
-watched Hello, Love
-burnt 2 DVDs of documentaries
-downloaded and watched the Hidden History Of Sex And Love documentsry. Veery educational.
-Made 3 gifs (2 of them posted today at soulmateaday)
-made a new avatar
-created a new playlist
-downloaded, burnt and ripped 2 DVD of The Videos 86>98 and put together the rest of my collection what I meant to do since High School.
-not to mention all the stuff I did for the Late Night EP. But that will require a separate post.

I don't dig Yoochun's new hairdo, but JaeSu look gorgeous. I was worried how that red hair will turn out, but I think it looks really cool, surreal almost. Oh, and Yoochun's in a pimp suit again. XD



Last pic: syncronizing much? I don't think they do it on purpose.

Miss A, K-Pop and other things

So I decided to check out this girl band, especially since Mr. Park himself complimented them. And I musy say I quite like them. Some of their songs are pretty good (in terms of K-Pop, of course), I really like their dancing and they're quite good-looking. Min is cool, Jia is.. interesting, Suzy is really cute, and Fei is just downright gorgeous. But what's more important I like them as a band. They have a really good atmosphere among them. They still have the freshness of rookies and the excitement and rawness only new bands have. I hope they make it big.

It's been 2 years since I liked a Korean band. It's not that I think they're all shit (though I'm inclined to think most of them are), it's more like I don't care enough to put any effort into it. JYJ keeps me occupied enough. I might try and learn at least a bit more since I miss watching MKMF and Golden Disk and Star Battle and all that. Not right now though.

Watching these girls made me realise something. Among other things, it's the first time that a though crossed my mind: maybe it would be better if they found themselves nice girls - pretty and smart and caring, someone I could like. It would break my heart, but at least I would know they could be happy. I do have that beautful OT3 fantasy, but I'm not sure whether I really want them to turn out gay. Indulging myself is one thing, but the reality of it is so harsh I would never want that for them. Guess that means I finally indeed matured.
And guess I have to give up that dream of polyandry.

Hello, My Love

I wasn't going to watch all of it today, but I couldn't stop half-way either. I held my breath for the outcome, but in the end it was different from all the ones I could foresee. It's both sad and heartwarming. I'm quite interested in love triangles lately and it was good to see how it can happen. Relationships are a whole different matter though. When you see those two very similar scenes in the middle and in the end, it really makes you think.

I really liked the film. Koreans sure love to film controversial gay-themed movies for such a homophobic nation. And what's up with former gay lovers from Paris? ))

(Junsu) Yoochun finally showed up at the recording studio today.. As soon as I saw him, I asked him to do 16 bars of ‘rap making’.. He said ‘Okay’ and picked up a piece of paper and a pen.. Yoochun asked for the volume of the music to be turned up because it was too small….. He said that his heart has to ring or something… He finished writing it in 5 minutes and even presented his rap to us right there in the recording room..

Well that explains a lot.

(Junsu to his manager) @psh2530 My love, wait for me~ (7:10pm KST)
(Junsu) Ah, this couldn’t possibly cause a misunderstanding about me, right?… ㄷㄷㄷ (7:11pm KST)

Of course not! Whatever ever gave you that idea? XD I'm really intrigued about their manager now.

(Jaejoong) It turns out that it turns out that Yoochun is a genius.. (9:15pm KST)
(Gun Young) @mjjeje Then.. Park Yoo chun…….jae?? (9:22pm KST)
(Jaejoong) @zerotic0124 Gasp (T/N: 헉=*Gasp*)
(Jaejoong) In the end, it turns out that it turns out that it turns out that, that’s the way it is. (9:35pm KST)

On a sadder note I'm really worried about Yoochun. I was hoping they would take it easy now, but I suppose old habits die hard.

I hate this. Reinstalling Sims is like reinstalling Windows only it's 100 harder and takes place every couple of months. I'm anticipating long hours of fun. Fuck this.

Upd.: Turns out it was pretty easy. All thanks to the brilliant UniPatch)) Whee! Now I'm off to bed.

Amen ponytail. I will miss you.
On a bright side though, it's probably good for my ovaries.

PS: I have a test in 3 hours. Bad girl.
