You're Beautiful, Iris

I'm so hooked to two Korean dramas.  Oh. My. God.

IRIS.

It's rank one in the ratings.

First I was thinking... what the hell can top You're Beautiful ?!?!

It's IRIS.



I strayed away from the usual romance-comedy dramas to watch this.  It's an action, thriller, mystery,  romance.  I haven't watched a drama like it.  I was peer pressured into watching Heroes before, but I didn't like the acting at all.  But omg, IRIS is awesome.  I read that it cost them 20 million dollars to produce it.

A story of betrayal, politics, mystery in the politics,  love... doom, death, kill, stab, destruction, explosions, BOOM HEADSHOT.  Holy shit.

The hot hacker girl, Yang Mi Jung can friggin sing.   I like the song she sang in the drama, translated of course:

If I say I hurt, it might be really painful. If I say I'm sad, I'm afraid the tears will come. So I just smile. But why do people always ask why I'm crying? I don't have a heart. So it's not possible for me to hurt.I talk to myself. I ask myself. But the tears keep coming.

It's 8eight's Without a Heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkc-cYszev0

Haha, there's an artist called 8eight.  And there's a se7en.  Next will be 9ne9? Oh wait, that can't be, because seven ate nine.

....

Anyways, her, Yang Mi Jung's. IRL character has the same birthday as me. I keep lagging when I try to find a good picture of her as her character in IRIS. Oh well, here's her IRL character.  I like her no teeth smile.



I don't want to spoil anything, but the pictures, and camera angles were stunning... at least, I think so.  Bad thing is that it's like Dragon Ball Z, like it takes forever for the story to start happening, there's too much action and too many pictures to explain something.  It's a new genre for me to watch though.  It reminds me of the novels I read in high school, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Crime and Punishment. The revenge plot makes me think of The Count of Monte Cristo, while Kim Hyun Joon's look is like what I pictured Raskonikov to look like.

Big Bang's T.O.P. plays a friggin Sephiroth with a gun. A shiny SILVER gun.





He's so much hotter when he moves though.  So you should watch it if you want to see a true hottie. His character is so sick.  He's like the only anime looking character in the sea of political men in suits.

And there's this other sexy character that resembles Juni and Juli from Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Episode 14 of You're Beautiful didn't disappoint me.  Shin Woo didn't break down.  It was a silly scene Jeremy thought of when he was reading his fan's fanfiction.  The last two episodes are coming out this week, and I'm going to be sad.

Dramas help me cope up with my own drama.  I don't know what to say about the word drama! Well, I guess since my drama is already helped, I can say that I love drama!

(Thanks to soompi, that drama wiki site, and the drama for the pictures)
