I'm watching episode 2 of Cinderella Unni, and while I haven't seen enough yet to be definitive, I'm not really liking Eun Jo. Like, I get why she's bitter and cold, and everything. But at the same time, I hate people like that. There's no excuse for rudeness. Everyone in the world has issues, you don't need to take them out on other people. It's a drama, it's not real, blah. But still, it irritates me. I have a thing with rudeness, I do not tolerate it at all in real life.

So, as of right now, CU has hit dead upon two of my squicks (and if you know me, you know there are VERY few things in dramas that bother me). I find it interesting that the drama that everyone is raving about is the one I'm having the hardest time with.

Since I'm only a little bit into it, I'm going to keep going, and hope I get over my issues with it. While I'll probably get over my irritation with the rudeness, I might not be able to get past the utter sadness that will envelop me when Eun Jo gets the shaft (especially from her mom) when compared with Hyo Sun. I'm already sad for her.

ETA: Episode 2 = finished. I feel less irritated with Eun Jo (MORE irritated with her mother), but I'm still not totally aboard that train. Like, Hyo Sun is annoying, but I like her a lot, she's cheery. I like Eun Jo too, I just wish she'd stop being horrible to everyone. As for Ki Hoon, I like him (how could you not?!), but he's not my type, and thus I am not fangirling incessantly over him. But that's okay, I have Siwon for that. I can't wait until Taec shows up, because Taec is my type (*cough* ABS *cough*). I really like Hyo Sun's dad too (his character name is Dae Sung, but there is no way I'll be able to call him that without getting Big Bang flashes), he's a nice guy. I also really like his eyes.

So, I've tried all three of the big kdramas happening right now (minus Prosecutor Princess, which doesn't appeal to me). I really liked them all. That being said, apparently the drama I'm going to flail incessantly about this season is Oh! My Lady.

I'm ridiculously in love with it so far. So much so that I even went on viikii to watch the episodes With S2 hasn't subbed yet. That's definitely a mark of my love for something, when I'm willing to watch it streaming (I get too distracted with streaming vids, usually). I love it to death, and can't WAIT until Monday's episode.

I honestly think a lot of it is because it reminds me quite intensely of both Dal Ja's Spring, and My Queen (with a bit of Full House thrown in for good measure). Dal Ja's Spring, and My Queen are two of my favorite dramas in the world. My one complaint: they're making Chae Rim look and act older than she should be, considering her character is only 33/34 (35 Korean age). It's cultural, I'm sure, but still... I hope so so so very much that she loses the frump, and realizes that she's young and sexy. I also hope they do something better with her hair. I swear, if I didn't know this was Chae Rim, I would have never recognized her at first. It's just bad.

Random other comments:
- Min Woo's little girl is the cutest damn thing in the world. I keep pausing the video so I can exclaim loudly "She's soooo CUTE!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥"
- Gae Hwa's husband makes me want to punch him (yet at the same time I find him slightly hot, which is weird).
- Whenever I see Chae Rim and Lee Hyun Woo together, I'm always like "IS THIS DAL JA'S SPRING?! WHERE IS LEE MINKI?!"
- Basically Yoo Ra is a slightly kinder and gentler Hye Won (from Full House). But since Hye Won is the bitchiest bitchface ever seen as a secondary girl in a drama EVER, this does not say much about Yoo Ra, who I want to punch in the face very badly.

Random caps, discussions, etc )

So otherwise, I watched the first episode of Cinderella Unni. I liked it a lot. The acting was great, and the story is nicely done. BUT I don't know if it'll be a winner for me. I have strong feelings about this type of plot (where one sibling is preferred over the other). I can either love it, or hate it. More than any other plot conflict, having one sibling be preferred over the other makes me incredibly sad. I have no idea why, exactly, but it does. I'll watch more of it when it's subbed, but it's still up in the air.

As for Personal Preference, I've got to watch more of it before I make up my mind totally, but I do quite like it so far.

Speaking of dramas, what's up with the general lack of good jdramas this season? The only one that even remotely interests me is Nana's drama.

Lastly, I finally got two of my Big Bang packages! I got my sweatshirt, GD's Shine A Light concert album, and the new school set they put out. I love and adore everything. I can't wait until I get my signed CD. Hopefully tomorrow!

It was just recently announced that a male lead role (this is up in the air, different people are reporting different things) in the upcoming kdrama Cinderella’s Sister will be played by Taecyeon from 2PM. I'm, uh, not sure about this.

I have nothing against musicians acting in dramas, but to put a totally untried actor in a lead role? That can spell disaster (as much as I love them a lot of the J-star-ers should have spent more time learning how to act before they appeared in dramas), or it can turn out great (Min Hyo Rin was a first time actress in Triple, and she was AMAZING).

I can't say I'm totally FOR this, especially with such a high profile drama (what with it being Moon Geun Young's return to dramas). It sure as hell didn't work for Heading to the Ground, and Yunho actually HAD acting experience (not a lot, but hey, it counts!). Learning how to act well takes awhile (*is a classically trained actor who studied for many many years, and knows how damn hard it is*).

Oh well, we'll know shortly if he sucks or is awesome!

(*is getting nostalgic, and goes off to practice her audition monologue that is never used anymore because being an actor is intimidating, and bad on the self esteem*)
