Gratuitous JGS

Video slideshow of Jang Geun Suk and Kim Ri Na (whom we all affectionately remember as Eun Hye) doing photo promos of … some random product.

Some Jang Geun Suk Pictures

This post is entirely dedicated to how cute JGS is. So… skip if you like, but I think you’ll stop at one point and paw your screen.

All credits to soompi and the people who made them.

Come on. Isn’t that cute?

The Dork Factor. It kills.

You know, this was taken at a Hong Kong photoshoot a few days ago. He looks exactly the same as he did a few years ago. I want to know what potions he’s drinking. Or if there’s a portrait in some attic somewhere.

Everyone! On count of three - one, two, three: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

That’s it for today’s episode of fangirling. I figured you guys would want something light after all that fuss about Tibet.

Love,

Sevenses

P.S. Apparently Song Yuri bought Kang Ji Hwan a shi-tzu puppy for his birthday. Aww. And then he named it ‘Yinok’. More aww.

Doremifasolatido trailer, subbed

It’s a bit fuzzy, but you at least now you can understand what’s going on, right? Give thanks to sheena0627, who put it together!

And two more trailers, with song clips. Tuchee11 over at soompi put them up.

Teaser one

Teaser two

Jang Geun Suk sings in these!

And a cast interview in English. Ignore the audio, or the subtitles, because they’re not together.

It looks terribly teen angst, but as I’m in it for the eyecandy, whatever goes. Though I did check the plot of the original fic/story to make sure JGS didn’t get screwed over, again.

JGS, plus Doremi

Okay, okay. I am now addicted to youtube. Seriously. I could spend hours wandering around on that thing.

I also have a dilemma: I have the OST for Doremifasolatido but the song titles are screwed up and I’m waiting to fix them before posting it.

Do you guys want it anyway? (Once I figure them out I’ll put up the proper page… I don’t want to keep you waiting if you really want it but the song titles being gibberish is a major pain.)

Nevermind. Fixed!

Here’s another video of shots from Doremifasolatido - it’s the OST version of ‘Full of Sunshine’, which is to say, not the Jang Geun Suk one. (As much as I lament the lack of release for his songs, I guess they have to pay a lot more for him to do it now… just hope someone, somewhere, has them. JGS has a wonderfully dreamy voice… I want those songs in his voice!)

And just for the cute factor, Jang Geun Suk and the cast of Doremifasolatido doing the ‘Tell Me’ dance. Do ignore the fans screaming.

Love,

Sevenses

JGS goodies

Yes, I am obsessed.

Why do you ask?

Anyway, was trawling youtube and typed in some magical words.

Two videos of note:

1. JGS from Nonstop 4 - includes hilarious footage of him kissing being kissed by actor Kim Jae Seung (whom we all know and love as In Hyung) and him as a girl. His other attempt at cross dressing was blocked from my mind due to its trauma factor, but this one’s kinda cute. If you overlook the overacting… *shudders* Jang Geun Suk, you were meant to be a man. Live with it.

2. JGS’s new CF project thing, for something named/branded/associated with BSX.

3. JGS in the Hong Gil Dong special episode - just shots of him being cute and goofy. Must-see for the adorable pigtail. Those kittens and puppies over at cuteoverload.com have nothing on him.

That’s it for now.

Ta!

Doremi tidbits

To cheer myself up a bit, I strolled around at the JGS thread… and I found this ‘making of’ video of Doremifasolatido (took me four times to type that correctly, obviously still traumatized by that Horrible Thing of Doom.)

Here is the link. It’s quite cute, and the boy sings!

Waiting for the Time, a song from Doremifasolatido. More singing. *swoons*

Full of Sunshine, another song. *is dead of swooning*

Go thank the people who posted this! Go!

Love,

Sevenses

HGD goodies

This is the interview that made my inner GDxCH squeal. Watch for around 1:56!! (Subbed in English, thank goodness.)

Will be back with more, after the specials air.

Love,

Sevenses

Rofling at JGS, honestly

Go watch this! 16 year old Jang Geun Suk being goofy and cute. I think I split something laughing. Thanks to Pris, for pointing it out.

Working on 21,

The Problem of Eun Hye and other stuff

Seo Eun Hye, as a character, has always puzzled me. Recently she’s also begun to annoy me, and I went semi-frantic, as I’m the sort that likes to know why. And then I finally twigged: it’s because she has no actual role in the story. As my nearests and dearests will tell you, I am a character development whore (also plot development whore, but these two things often go hand in hand). Therefore, having someone who only fulfills the fourth side of the love rectangle (not square yet, undeclared feelings etc etc) would totally poke my subconscious sore spot.

I mean, for all that she’s unconventional, smart, strong-willed, beautiful, she is still the product of her times and social station: a rich noble lady just entering the adult world. Unlike the other players in this love geometry game, she has nothing significant at stake - Enok has her lineage, Gil Dong and Chang Hui their future. She has money, status and familial stability, things that none of the other three have. If she does go with Gil Dong (which is highly unlikely, given that he doesn’t really show signs of liking her right now), she also has the most to lose.

I maintain that she is just playing games with people, because she is giddy, not in love. When she sees Gil Dong, she displays this excited lightheartedness/first crush/fan behaviour, and I do realize that her collapsing after hearing of GD’s death is significant, but the truth is, she doesn’t know him. (She does have the distinct honour of being Hong Gil Dong the hero’s first fan.) She’s bored with her life as a ‘proper lady of noble blood’, sees someone different and clings to him because he’s more interesting. (In a way, her sheltered upbringing has made her less mature than Enok, who is admittedly not the sharpest tool in the shed. Enok’s experiences and honesty make approaching and understanding GD much easier.) They may end up friends, but they’re still a bit too different to work well as a couple. (That is, unless the writers change her, which, given an 16 episode storyline still left, looks very plausible indeed.)

Another huge point against her favour in GD/EH is her abandonment of Gil Dong at the moment he most needed her. She knew the significance of her testimony as well as he did, but she still left him to bear the (quite serious) accusation of armed robbery and murder. Not to flog the Enok ship too much, but I doubt Enok would have done the same thing. And that is a fundamental difference between them, for now. Eun Hye is still all about the fun (even her meeting with GD - her attitude just seems juvenile - she does realize that as a bandit on the run from tons of people who will kill him, meeting with her is just not the smartest thing to do?), while Enok sincerely would go with Gil Dong to the ends of hell (urm, pretty sure of a mixed metaphor here, not sure where).

Arguably, then, she has the most potential to grow as the series goes on. I hope she does. It would be a shame to waste such a potentially dynamic character on (of all things) love geometry. I know I’ll get tomatoed by EH/GD fans, but meh. We’re all reading too much into a drama series anyway. (Oh, but it’s so fun!)

To be honest, I’m leaning towards a YN/CH, but like, metaphysical laws of dramadom will result in an HGD/YN. Albeit after loads of angst, tears/shouting, separations, false starts in other directions and maybe a revolution, given this drama’s specific context. (Maybe Enok’s just easier to like.)

In other news, that broody and introverted prince character, Chang Hwe? He’s got a diff image in this new promotional MV. I’m not a huge fan of his posing, and his voice is kind of monotoned, but hey, eyecandy. I always like eyecandy.

You guys can totally tell I’m suffering from HGD withdrawal symptoms, right?

Love,

Sevenses
