Painter Episode 7 Preview 2

This is what happens when you procrastinate: you find stuff on the nets about shows you’re watching.

Here’s the link, since wp is a douche and won’t let me embed: the preview is untranslated, but here’s the rough precis.

Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler

Yoon Bok is thrown to the ground by Hong Do, Jeong Hyang begs the assembled men, saying that it’s the last time. Then she gets out her suicide knife.

Switch scenes to Yoon Bok pleading with his father to let him out of a locked storeroom. Err, evil merchant dude beds Jeong Hyang but does not get her kiss. He says something, and she cries with her eyes closed.

Switch scenes to unconscious Yoon Bok being laid down by Hong Do, who tries to undo his/her clothing to make it better, but she/he stops him. Then Hong Do becomes entranced by his student…

Then in daytime, unsure time, Hong Do is drinking/eating with that other girl, the younger sis of his fellow painter.

Really cannot wait for Wednesday.

Prince of Tennis Live Action: Episode 5

The live action is officially AU now, I think. I much prefer this version to the anime, though Long Ma needs some work. (By work I mean a large hammer and lots of humility, but character rewrites will do.)

Correction: The coach’s name is actually Lin Qi, not Tian Qi as previously assumed.

Episode 5: In Which There is Yet More Angst, Will It Never End?!?

Tao Chen Wu and Hai Tang exercise at the same time, as much as to snark at each other as to actually build muscles. Cheng Wu urges Hai Tang to retry the match, while Hai Tang looks down on him for being too enthusiastic about everything and everyone. (Yeah, but how else is Long Ma’s cold, neglected little heart going to melt?)

In the school caf, Xiao Peng grabs Long Ma for an interview, only to have him walk off when it’s apparent Xiao Ying won’t show up. Xiao Peng is chagrined. (Serves her right.)

In English class, the rest of the team muses on whether they like having Long Ma around (answer: obvious no) – angst about Inui and Kaidoh ensues. The two don’t really help, as they do their soulful gazing thing in the gym. I would like to remind them that it’s not the end of the world – just one ranking match, dudes! There will be others, like, next semester. Aww, brotherly bonding (or not, you slashers, you) totally occurs.

zOMG Zhen Zhi breaks down and says that data isn’t everything. OMO. Hai Tang feels cheated, and super under pressure. Also, he dislikes Long Ma. What a newsflash.
