Went home sick today, so I get to catch up on my dramas! Yay? (Work = bad, but so does massive brain splitting headache...)

But regardless, I'm almost caught up on Triple now.

RANDOM KDRAMA THING : Why do people in kdramas always have to take the batter out of the cell phone? Is it not enough to turn the thing off? Maybe it's more dramatic. I half want to go around doing that now, being all bitchy and fumbling with the phone battery, and then flinging it all across the room in irritation (think Jun Pyo in BBF).

I very much want to live my life in a drama.

Saturday I started cleaning my desk out at work, and felt very much like Dal Ja when she gets moved to a different department. Except I didn't have Lee Min Ki at home waiting for me (SADLY).

ALSO, can I please say how freaking excited I am for this movie?! I have an extreme love affair with anything that takes place in Victorian or Edwardian times, and have since I was very young (I blame it on the American Girl dolls... I had Samantha, and was obsessed with her clothes/hair/EVERYTHING). Elizabethan times are a very close second.

Speaking of, it's kinda weird how I don't like historical dramas, but I love period movies above all else...

OMG DORIAN GRAY TRAILER. Thank you! I never know about new trailers and always miss them. Am excited as well :D

(Btw, is there any particular reason you don't like historical dramas or they just simply don't do it for you? :))

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

I've been missing them a lot recently too! I had even forgotten they were doing a Dorian Gray movie, so the trailer was a pleasant reminder!

No real reason... I think a large part of it is me being shallow; I don't like the hair (too-long hair on men just doesn't do it for me), and I don't like the clothes. Plus I was never heavily interested in Asian history for some reason. It's just a combination of it all. I might watch one eventually, but none of them really interest me that much.

Dorian Gray trailer looks pretty nice, though maybe a bit actiony in the end :P. I never cared too much for the book, but this film looks interesting enough.

Heh, on historical dramas: have you ever seen BBC's "North and South"? Because that one is excellent!!

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

North and South... that was so so so so so good <333. I'm just here to second this comment. " Hell is white... it's snow white." ASKHKAHKHAHKAGGKAH *still fangirlign over John Thornton*

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

O.M.G. uisceros! you haven't seen North and South yet?? go watch it now!!! You will LOVE it. especially the yumminess that is J Thornton aka Richard Armitage aka sexiest thing since Colin Firth as Darcy. it's so good. *points to icon*

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

I haven't! *is woefully unawares*

Ohhh interest is piqued even more... *goes off to find a download*

Agreed. Dorian Gray should be more psychological. Of course the action could end up being minor and amazing. I don't think I ever finished the book, actually.

I haven't, but now I quite want to! (I totally thought you meant the American mini-series about the civil war, and was like "a series about the American civil war was done by the BBC?!")

[vierran45.livejournal.com]

I totally thought you meant the American mini-series

That sometimes cause confusion, but no, I meant the BBC miniseries based on Elisabeth Gaskell's novel North and South.

Prepare to be swept away by Richard Armitage as John Thornton... :D

OMG DORIAN CASPIAN GRAY!!!!

And I didn't knew Colin Firth was on board!! So freakin excited!

[miss-magrat.livejournal.com]

Lol, I didn't know about Colin Firth in this one either! I just stopped at Ben Barnes when it came to casting news, it was more than enough to get me excited ;)

(And not only CF! There is also Christian Bale's wife from Prestige! Which is exciting as well even though I never managed to learn the name of the actress XD)

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Hehehe! That's kinda how I first thought of it too! I've only seen Ben Barnes as Caspian, so this should be an interesting change of pace ;D

Colin Firth made me beyond excited, despite the horrid beard he's sporting.

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

omg I am the same! I am so utterly and completely uninterested in historical dramas, yet I've loved period dramas for years. It's so weird.

and MMMMM, I'd almost forgotten about this. Ben Barnes+Colin Firth = epic drool.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

It IS weird! I wonder why historical dramas just aren't appealing... I honestly think for me, it's partly because I'm shallow, and don't like the men's hair, and the costumes...

AGREED! Hot english guys? Yeeeesss please!

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

I honestly think for me, it's partly because I'm shallow, and don't like the men's hair, and the costumes... you know what, that's probably it for me too:) see, period dramas put the hot men in frilly white shirts and sexy black coats. Historical dramas put the hot men in flowing robes and long hair:(

and also, like you, I have no interest in Korean history. sad but true.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Hehe, exactly! I don't want to see my historical heroes looking like girls. I want them in waistcoats, with canes, and suit jackets.

I don't have much of an interest in Asian history at all. I'm interested in modern Taiwanese history, but that's about it. EUROPEAN HISTORY, on the other hand, I have a great love for.

i cant wait to see Dorian Grey, because Rachel Hurd-Wood is in it, adore her!

[stringy-cow.livejournal.com]

That movie looks awesome!! I love that time period too!
And holy shit, he's hot in this movie XDDD!

I like period things in general! That's one thing I DO like is, long hair on guys in the right way is very nice to me lol. I love traditional clothes too. Well honestly it took me a bit of time to get used to Korean traditional clothes on the guys (hanbok for girls is cute, but for guys it's kind of weird sometimes and those HATS with the HAIR! lmao) But I think it can be cute. I LOVE Japanese Yukata on guys :DD But I haven't seen or watched any Japanese period piece that I liked. I tried watching the one that is airing now and it was kind of boring so LOL I didn't continue. XD As for Korean ones - Hong Gil Dong for the win! Also Iljimae! (Because it has Lee Jun Ki dammit! lol)
