Old poll outcome and new poll "Young vs Old in 'Moon Embraces Sun'?"

So here are the results from the Old poll

"Instead of getting stabbed in the heart by the person Un-ah loved the most, should he just have said F%#K this S#%T, grabbed Dong Soo and made him his bride...and gone on a steamy honeymoon."

or in short:

"Did you like the ending of Warrior Baek Dong Soo?"

with 69 participants:

67 hated the ending (which I find only natural to such a OOC and rushed ending)

while

2 actually liked it

so instead of asking these two what they thought was good about the ending (which will undoubtedly make me fall into a dangerously long rant) I will move on and give you my new poll:

"Should they just have stuck fake beards on the young cast in 'The Moon that Embraces the Sun' and pretended they had grown instead of having an adult cast that is neither as gorgeous or as good in acting as the younger ones?"

or in short

"Which cast do you prefer in 'The Moon that Embraces the Sun' - young or adult?"

For details see my earlier post on the lacks of the adults in comparison to their younger counterparts.

Bring back my young ones from "The Moon that Embraces the Sun"

I am bored. Or rather I am bored of "The Moon that Embraces the Sun".

When the show started I was running around naked in my room in excitement that another show from the author of "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" was going to show. I looove, or rather I ABSOLUTELY ADORE "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" and with "The Moon that Embraces the Sun" I was anticipating a new enormous hit, however...

it bores me...somehow nothing is happening, they just keep going around in circles around a pretty boring subject and the chemistry of the main cast is void.

or should I say the chemistry of the main ADULT cast is void while the YOUNG cast was absolutely BRILLIANT! I keep waiting for the flashbacks to them since they are the only thing that keeps me watching.

Jeo Jin Gu (Hwon) blows my socks off - he is so charming that I have added him to "Inappropriate Younger Crush" and his acting is making me ecstatic.

while

Kim Soo Hyun leaves me bland, he is a good actor but he just doesn't measure up to his younger version.

Kim Yoo Jung (Yeon U) is incredible, sweet and cute yet deep and profound. Fantastic acting and her chemistry with Jin Gu is mind blowing.

For the first time I am shipping a non M/M couple!

while

Kim Yoo Jung is just a sad excuse. Just like Frodo in "Lord of the Rings", she only has ONE expression: huge eyes with tears in and frozen mimicry. Also her chemistry with Soo Hyun is so devoid of feeling that I was actually cringing at their more intimate scenes.

Lee Min Ho (Yang Myeung) is incredible as an actor and such a cutie and he really pulled off the cast away prince that still loved his little brother

while

Jung Il Woo should have sticked to "Return of Iljimae" where his melancholia actually did the trick, for I jsut find him spoilt and disagreable (O'boy am I gonna get a lot of flame for this one from all the Il Woo fans...)

Lee Won Gun (Un) was an eye opener (literally, he has gorgeous eyes) pulling off the proud loner without feeling unsocial

while

Song Jae Rim is just a whipped puppy (although he is growing on me a little...)

Siwon (Yeom) isn't really my cup of tea but he really gave a full dimension to his character that his grown counterpart Song Jae Hee seems to have dropped somewhere. Am I also the only one that feels that his relationship with his princess-bride is bordering on inappropriate since he looks like he is at least 30 while she looks (and acts) like 14?

Also, I am going to add that the entire young cast are sooo much more gorgeous than the adults - especially adult Yeom is beyond my understanding...wasn't he suppose to be the most gorgeous guy ever?

Anyway, in addition to this the story is sooooo boring that I find myself doing fast forward sometimes just to skip the entire crying scenes that seems to last for hours...

Couldn't they just have stuck fake beards on the young ones and pretended they had grown? and give me some bromance, please...

Poem "sapling II: sprout"

Last night, when the moon was new

I dreamt of Life

He descended from heaven like a god

with raven tipped wings

lawful

fearful

hopeful

He whispered

"I hold in my heart the knowledge of endings.

If you so choose, I will give it to you."

then,

ethereal

lithe

wispy

his skin colder than ice, as

he seductively lent into me

"Weed the garden of seeds

and uproot the saplings of Death

and mortality, will crumble like earth in your hands"

---

He was so confident,

so sure of my answer

but

I just smiled and looked at him.

"I cannot choose you,

for my heart is already given.

Blinding Death is my mistress,

for only she gives freely

the seeds of beginnings."

Knowledge given so easily

is not wisdom at all,

and uprooted sprouts

gives infertile earth

for

From each flower

ignorance would flow

From each root

decay would grow

and each seed

would move the World backwards

one grain at a time

for the knowledge of endings

only take root

in a heart touched by Life

---

Despairing

Desperate

Crying

He wrapped me in feathers

and whispered again

"Will you then die in this moment?

Choose wisely again,

and live, live forever, with me."

but I

still smiling

was not tempted at all

for I would choose loving Death

over ice cold Aeons,

over and over again.

---

In this World there is

nothing more beautiful

nothing more worth keeping

than the fragility of our lives,

and the knowledge

that only grows when the World moves forward,

one sprout of Death

at a time.

For Mamie

Poem "within"

The Eyes of a Tiger,

is nothing special.

It is the Fang of a Tiger,

the Claw of a Tiger,

or so I thought

until I saw,

the Eyes of a Tiger

and without it moving

I felt those fangs,

sink into my neck

and I felt those claws,

raking open my chest,

exposing my still beating heart

without the Tiger moving,

without it touching me once

It ate me,

whole

For the Fangs and the Claws

that rake and tear and kill,

begins

within the Eyes

of a Tiger

Word Challenge "Sungkyunkwan Scandal"

So I did a Word Challenge for "Sungkyunkwan Scandal", I had loads of fun doing it but I lost in the end because I got to engrossed in my story.


(chibi pic from Fearless)

If you don't know what a Word Challenge is then let me illuminate you:

A challenge can be made with specific rules, that are given beforehand.
You will have a set amount of time, or specific guidelines to write after, and if you break one you lose.

In short, it is a writing game!

For example, the rules I used were:

2 random words, same first letter (taken for example from a dictionary)
First word sets theme
Second word must be in text
No more than 300 words per text
10 minutes to write

and I chose my topic to be in short snippets from the life of Gu Yong Ha and Moon Jae Shin and I managed to write six pieces before I lost on the seventh.

So for all hardcore Sungkyunkwan fanfic fans, I put it on my AooO page, HERE!

Slutty Valentines Day to You all

Yes, I include all the Haters in that too...cause I am "better" than You...

Hope you all have a "Joon" tied to your bed waiting at home...

if you don't then the go here and get your daily fix of how God meant for men to be: Hot, Bothered and completely at your Mercy...

now yo'all have to excuse me...I am gonna go and drizzle melted chocolate on "mine"...Because I deserve it....

MBLAQ's Joon changes profession to...SEX?!

or so you would wish! Nyahahaha...

Stumbled across this absolutely smutty piece of writing from Jindeul "I Love my Sex Trainer", which features my bias right now, Mr. "sex-on-legs" himself Lee Joon as God meant him to be: a sex trainer...

He even has a featurette video for it:

Ta-Meaut approves...and has added it as "Recommended Reading" to the right in my listings.

(Man, I wish I had trailers for my fanfics...that would be soooo cool...)

What happens when "Edward" bites "Super Junior"

AHAHAHHAHHAHA....AHAHAHHAHHA...CANNOT.....STOP....LAUGHING....

Super Junior's perfume advertising makes "Twilight" look cool...

and what's up with the name of the perfume? They couldn't think of a more subtle name than "Sexy"?!

(although I would not say no to Dong Hae with those teeth and that suit...yes, I admit I find him slightly "sexy" like this...Oh,no, the ad must be working....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah)

Poem "what wouldn't I give"

A crossed shadow falls over me

as I am lying in the soft grass

I look up into the painfully blue sky and realise

it is a sleek white bird

with wings so big they can wrap around you

covering all,

and Heaven.

Mesmerised

I trace its smooth flight with my tearing eyes

until it vanishes into the far distant

and I realise,

I am looking straight into the Sun.

Hurriedly I close my eyes

but in the red darkness of my lids

All I see

is the outline of a black bird against a blinding white light

burnt forever into my retina

My eyes clenched shut, tears running down my cheeks

I suddenly

feel a soft wind against my cheek

as the bird,

returned,

sweeps past me, so close,

so close,

I can feel the tip of its wing against my cheek

As if to say,

Thank You,

and Good Bye.

WTF rant on "Fated to Love You"

Someone recommended the Taiwanese drama "Fated to Love You" for me so I have seen a few episodes now. My general verdict can probably be comprised in the multi usage abbreviation of WTF!?

Not only is the story reeaaally incomprehensive with general plotline of an arrogant guy, in love with another girl, making a "sticky-note" girl pregnant "by drug-induced mistake" and then having to marry her against his will, but all the actors are soooo baaad I am crying...blood...

However is we skip these two small things that I can somehow overlook, there is ONE thing I absolutely cannot. This series is like a ambivalent BAD propaganda series for communist China. In the entire series they keep talking about mothers and babies and they are "holy" and babies are from God and so on and so forth ONLY to give out ill-masked crappy "advice" on how expecting mothers, and fathers, should act.

For example; In one scene the two pregnant women go to a bar and order the strongest, largest alcohol beverage they can get.

Here is a pic of them sipping the drinks the bartender gave them (please note the obvious pregnancy on one of them):

The suddenly one of the women puts down her drink in anger that it doesn't seem to contain alcohol:

Then the bartender has to explain to them that when you are pregnant you cannot drink alcohol?!

which makes one of the women parrot back to the other what she just heard, even though she just seconds ago sat sipping what she thought was a huge alcoholic drink...

I cannot express in words right now how frustrated I get while watching this....WTF, shouldn't they know this already?

I am not even gonna start with the rest of the "advice" the litter all around this series...

That's it for me, and now that I have blown off some steam I can tell you that the rest of "Euphoria" will come tomorrow, when I have checked it for mistakes...

Bonus pic

Despite the Christian ideals and talk of God in this series, they give birth to Satan's baby (note the nr on the crib):

Why Yeo Un SHOULDN'T die...

Right now I am experiencing a serious Catch-22 moment (meaning circular argument...).

In my previous post "Why Yeo Un should DIE..." I wrote the obvious reasons why he absolutely have to die but then Maria reminded me of everyone else in the cast what was still alive and would therefore also age...like Dong Soo!

That in turn made me think of Nerjaveika's glorious SLASH/CRACK video in which we get a hilarious/horrendous glimpse of the future of Baek Dong Soo turning an alcoholic after killing his best friend/love-of-his-life. (by the way you should check ot this video...I laughed so hard I almost opened up my operation scars...thanks again Nerjaveika...you make my day...)

(screen cap from Nerjaveika's WBDS SLASH/CRACK video , edited by me)

So I realised that if Un-ah lives then this will never happen! However if Un-ah lives then we have the worst case scenario that I described in "Why Yeo Un should DIE..." .

So now I am going in circles. Either Yeo Un will turn an ugly alcoholic or Dong Soo will...aaaaaaargh...the choices, the choices...

Maybe I should make a poll out of it: "Who will make the best alcoholic: Un-ah or Dong Soo?"

Why Yeo Un should DIE...

So the other day I was watching some episodes of sageuk "Gye Baek" (mostly because of a rumour that Lee Min Ho was acting in it...and it was true!!!) however I also stumbled across something that made me laugh so hard I almost fell off my chair.

Suddenly in one episode there is a letter sent to a mysterious assassination group (does it ring a bell?) and there is the leader (ding...dong) of the organisation standing in a room that looks VERY much like the headquarters of Heuksa Chorong (shrill ringing in my ears...). The camera zooms in and the leader turns around and I scream in horror, it is UN-AH AGED 50! (actually it is Ahn Kil Kang with a wig and mustache and wrinkles so deep you can bathe in them - not to mention the bags underneath his eyes.)

With this introduction, I got instantly the feeling that this is what Un-ah would look like if he would have stayed leader of Heuksa Chorong (I mean he was starting to drink pretty heavy in the end of the series and all those killings and bad conscience does bad stuff to gorgeous guys...) instead of dying beautifully and remaining gorgeous in all our memories forever...

With that said, I am going to hereby stand by the fact that IT WAS GOOD THAT UN-AH DIED...for I don't think I could live through him looking like that....oh, my poor heart...(by the way I still stand for the fact that I didn't like the ending but now I am sure Un-ah had to die...)

You should all check it out - the scene is short but hilarious...although I cannot remember which episode it was in, I am sure it was some of the first ones for the child actors are still there...
