LOL

You're right!

Look what you've done, @mary... Prompted a reprise of the Kdrama Bingo Trope-a-thon which @cloggie and @egads unsuspectingly triggered. It may have been the best thing to come out of FOX BRIDE STAR, but I didn't watch the show, so I really don't know. ;-)

So he needs to be drunk all the time in order for her to sleep...best couple goals ever ahahah

I'm not totally tone deaf but I can have iffy relative pitch, which is why I'm a pianist. I also 'played' violin, but playing 3-octave scales without open strings, I'd go up and come back down and find myself a half-step away from where I started. So I'm sure my ear-training professor was flinching a bit at my sight-singing.

I'm also reminded of Glenn Gould, who used to hum along when he played piano. As far as I could tell, his humming had no relation to what he was playing.

TLDR - a conductor could possibly sing out of tune. 😬

@bbstl,
Actually, the last I heard, the next level is Unemployed Slacker in a Sparkly Tracksuit. ;-)

@pakalanapikake, that sounds well worth shooting for. Olympic Level Viewer . . . I don't think they get to wear sparkly tracksuits.

Another piece of writing by John Berger that sounds interesting. ;-)

You are welcome. It is a rare species @pakalanapikake (I started to say, "Isn't it special?" but then I was sure you'd hear Dana Carvey, too)
I love that you love it as well; I feel it is a perfect marriage of thought, song, cinematography with a lagniappe of male pulchritude.

Re: John Bergers anthology. Strangely, I am (still) first and foremost a reader. So rather than chasing down a lipstick or a stuffed animal, I make it my mission to get the books featured in a drama,....and I love how so many dramas reference a book- W, My Love from Another Star, the list goes on! But for some reason, this book has been hard for me to buy...

After the first 20 views or so you kind of become immune

@mindy you broke your heart so it wouldn’t break again

@mary @pakalanapikake
I know I would find it almost impossible to resist after that warning! In all fairness, it is not a trite or sensationalized work. It is about the sadness of losing a friend to suicide, and how we can never really know each other completely. ...which is why you really only see portions of Lee Min ki's face (until the very end)

You’re welcome.

We watched it over 2 hours ago and I still can’t stop thinking about those cheekbones and those lips and those eyes and how utterly unreal and otherworldly he looks and...

I’m broken I’m sorry for reducing such a meaningful MV to just the aesthetics. I’m. Broken. And I have issues.

And this is probably a defense mechanism, focusing in the shallow makes me forget what actually happens in the MV. He always dies. I don’t need to be reminded of it.

-runs away-

Don't forget the lip dip.

The director clearly fell in love with him 10 minutes into filming. There was no other point to that M/V. Come back and bask in his glory.

No no ! Definitely not ! ^^
I just watched the first episode, and actually kind of liked it, but then I read that the series was a mess at the end, and I hesitated to continue. But since it seems that it's just the last episode that is not that good, I may watch the drama, and just skip the last episode ^^ (I did that for cheese in the trap actually : I could not bear to watch the end since I read that it was awful. Too bad because the webtoon was so awesome !).

Sorry to be dense, @justme, but what is RH? Romantic Homicide?

@pakalanapikake, RH is His Royal Hotness, the Last Emperor, Lee Hyuk, as played to goofy psychopath perfection by Shin Sung Rok.

very valid question @pakalanapikake. Also, The last empress is the best worst show I ever watched. So so bad that it's good. Makjang at it's finest. The main character, ouri Royal hotness is arguably bipolar, being horrible and murderous in an episode and beautiful and perfect in another. of course, I buy everything and completely redeem him (sarcasm but also no, but yes).

Royal Hotness, the shatterer of moral compasses

Speaking of Sungrok, isn't he considering a fantasy romcom for his next project? Why is it raining casting news for our faves. Please don't let this be an April fool...

@justme, @egads,

Thanks for filling me in on Royal Hotness. I feel like I've heard this somewhere before -- years ago. Maybe I'm slipping my clutch and thinking of Lee Min-hot... ;-)

@mary im hoping for a kdrama musical with him as a lead or at least a prominent character... maybe thats too much to ask

@bbstl,
SJR was indeed in CLEAN PASSIONATELY, alas as second lead. (sniff) I got a much bigger bang out of his playful bromance with Yoon Kyun-sang than I did from the OTP. Considering how the germophobe practically lived in a bubble, his touchy-feely headshrinker came as a tactile shock. Think of an over-caffeinated Chief Kim pursuing the Gluttonous Psychopath, or LOOKOUT's Prosecutor Jang Do-han unloading a broadside of aegyo at his humorless, stodgy colleague.

@pakalanapikake that comparison to Chief Kim really gets to me! 🤣😍

@bbstl April 2, 2019 at 7:13 PM

Remember when Chief Kim ambush-smooched Gluttonous Psychopath? Well, at one point SJR leaps up into Yoon Kyun-sang's arms (into a princess carry, no less) and gives him an adoring look that had me ROFLMAO. Alas, I cannot recall the context. Whatever. His teasing is every bit as outrageous as Kim Young-kwang's flirtatiousness towards his fellow prosecutor in LOOKOUT. Oh, the glint in his eye.
