The Garret

Excuse me while I drop everything to read this advance copy of BITTERBLUE (Kristin Cashore, 2012) that I happen to have here.

The perks of this job are few but mighty.

I’m just gonna stick this post up here and edit it later, maybe with some pictures, because I have to run to work. Geez, work, why you gotta get in the way of the important things? ;P

This is a post about secondary characters! Okay, it’s about secondary characters in Secret Garden, because I have been faithfully re-watching it and not fast-forwarding to all the bits with the leads this time. *hangs head* What? The leads are a pair of bickering lovers played by Ha Ji-won and Hyun Bin. CAN YOU BLAME ME?

But this is not a post about Hyun Bin’s face Ha Ji-won’s awesomeness the leads. This is a post about the bestest secondary couple of all recent kdrama: Choi “Oska” Woo-young and Yoon Seul. (Yes, they’re even better than Dogboy and Art Girl in Coffee Prince. I even know their names!) I kind of wish they WERE the main couple--or rather, A main couple, because their journey is pretty darn interesting. In fact I would argue that it’s them, rather than Gil Ra-im and Kim Joo-won, who get an actualized emotional journey, both as individuals and as a couple.

What secondary characters do you love, either OTPs or individuals? (Does anybody want to talk about Xiao Ma and Forsenics Lady from Black & White?)

ME: It's Jang Geun Suk! SQUEE! HI, JGS! ♥♥♥♥♥
EVERYONE ELSE IN THE DRAMA: *has exact same reaction*
JGS: *is smiley and ponytailed*
WORLD: *implodes from squee*
