uisceros: (Ella! *loves!*)
Today, outside of my workplace, there are protestors. No shit. I work for a pharmecutical company, so it's not like it's unheard of, but it's still pretty funny. They have a gigantic blow up rat... I'm not sure what they're protesting, but if they're against animal testing, I might as well join them out there. I HATE working for a company that tests on animals (granted, we're probably one of the lesser offenders). Vivisection is one of, if not the things I hate most in the world. I hate it less when it's done for medical reasons, but I still hate it. Regardless, it's kinda funny to see them. I want to take pictures, and might if given the chance.

I started two new dramas last night. First off, Boys Before Flowers. It's actually not subbed yet, so I just watched a good portion of it just in Korean. It was... educational. The opening was interesting, with a dude getting harassed, and about to commit suicide by jumping off a roof (Kinda sterotypically Korean, huh? I've heard the Korean jumping off the roof thing from other Asian sources...), and then "Tsukushi" saving him. From what I can tell, I'm really going to like the Tsukushi character.

Dramabeans wrote a review that the guy who plays "Rui" was kinda just imitating Oguri Shun, which upon first glance, yeah, he really does look like he's acting like him. He has the same blond hair/hairstyle, the same voilin thing, and he's even wearing all white. I only saw one scene with him, but it was kinda jarring. And "Domyoji's" entrance really was pretty cool. His hair is also a lot better than either Jerry or Jun's were.

I also started watching a jdrama, Koizora, which I'm pretty sure [livejournal.com profile] sn0tcat told me about previously... I like it so far, but it's going to be sad. Luckily it's only 6 episodes, so the sadness won't be horrible prolonged. I don't actually find the main dude (Seto Koji) attractive at all, but I'm drawn to his blonde hair. What can I say... I'm easy. Mizusawa Elena, on the other hand, is one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in my life (she's only 16!!!).
uisceros: (Why Why Love)
Oh, and the more I think about, the more I realize that Why Why Love is EXACTLY like Full House. Except instead of getting married, she becomes his nurse. But basically everything else is the same. Seriously. It's uncanny.

Plot points that are the same!

1. Girl meets Boy, Girl ruins Boy's shirt, Boy hates Girl. OTHER BOY finds Girl charming.
2. Boy is in love with OTHER GIRL who is a friend from childhood. OTHER GIRL is in love with OTHER BOY. OTHER BOY only thinks of OTHER GIRL as a friend.
3. Girl and Boy enter an agreement that brings them together. Girl does a lot of cleaning. Boy is impressed by her cheerful nature.
4. Girl is poor. Boy, OTHER BOY, and OTHER GIRL are rich.
5. Girl has people in her life who make living difficult (Full House -> her "friends", Why Why Love -> her family).
6. OTHER GIRL is a bitch, and although she loves OTHER BOY, she insists on keeping Boy to herself.
7. OTHER BOY is incredibly awesome and charming, and totally perfect.
8. Boy and Girl come to love each other despite everything.
9. Boy is all conflicted, because he wants to be faithful to OTHER GIRL, despite being in love with Girl.
10. Girl is all conflicted, because she thinks Boy doesn't love her, and OTHER BOY is obviously devoted to her.
11. In the end, Boy and Girl are happy together. OTHER BOY and OTHER GIRL kinda just hang around being like "...we're still here..."

Handy character key!
Girl : Jia Di (WWL), Ji Eun (FH)
Boy : Huo Da (WWL), Young Jae (FH)
OTHER GIRL : Yan Shu (WWL), Hye Won (FH)
OTHER BOY : Huo Yan (WWL), Min Hyuk (FH)

SEE!!

The only major differences in the two stories are the marriage thing, and the ending of Why Why Love which weirdly veers into HEALTHSCARE!mode. Other than that, they're like the same story. Why Why Love is totally Full House, except Taiwanese-ified (hellllooo motorcycles and excessive drinking).

All asian dramas are similar in some ways, but honestly, these two are crazy-similiar. Does anyone else see this?!
uisceros: (Dear God I love you Toma-kun!)


Seriously, bitchy drama girls? Seriously?! Because Mika (middle girl) has got to one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen.

And what is with that girl on the far left... she looks possessed.



Seriously. She's beautiful. I want her bone structure.

I totally just said "seriously" three times in a row...
