So...you like a musical about people...eating people...i'm very confused about this knowing what I know about you...

listen my cannibal issues apparently do not extend to musicals i don’t know what to tell you

i actually, somewhere, own a copy of the soundtrack to cannibal the musical.

i only listened to that once though and it made me very uncomfortable maybe 2/10 recommended for people who are better equipped to handle cannibals in fiction.

So glad you're watching go ho's starry night! I really thought it had some cute moments and fresh characters. (the guys can be a bit much sometimes but that's dramas for you). Loving the posts :)

EP 1 wasn’t of my liking, but now I’m enjoying it :)! The guys or esp the younger guy is sometimes too much but... GAH he’s cute, and he gives the exciting kind of feel!

subtlestories said: yeeaaahhh. The forced pulling of the other character to wherever you want them…yeah wish that wasn’t a thing. At least she seems to not hesitate for standing up for herself.

That’s what I love about her! She’s such a kindhearted, easy going person but when this guy comes into the picture to mess with her she takes absolutely none of his bs. I can tolerate the wrist grabbing stuff as long as I feel like the heroine can stand up for herself and I feel like that’s the case here. Plus I like that it wasn’t a “romantic wrist grab.” At this point they’re both still annoyed with each other so while I didn’t like those manhandling scenes, I’m at least glad it wasn’t made to be swoonworthy or whatever.

 What i really like so far is that they have a really bantery relationship and seem to be on equal footing. I loved that entire sequence of her telling him that he had to refer to her with a respectful title of teacher or her full name instead of a casual, shortened version and he listened. Unfortunately, if the wrist grabbing does get any worse than this, or if it continues even after they’ve developed feelings than that’s when I’ll have to drop it.

gwynnemeeks said: Yeah, I ranted about the voyeurism in my commentary. But the preview makes it look like she actually gets out? And maybe steals Mi-Ran’s clothes?

I legit got so happy when I saw the preview! Finally Anna is getting out of the house and can be integrated into the plot and wow it only took 6 eps to get there!  but also there was that intense eye contact scene between Yoo Jin and Je Ha when he’s in her office on the ninth floor or wherever and I just cannot wait cause that looked inteeense. 

subtlestories said: Yeah i feel this same way! How can they be ignoring their actual relationship build? Now he just seems like a creep watching her from afar. Ugh!

Yeah during ep 4 when he was just watching her make ramen I was like well this is creepy but it’s his job so I guess it’s okay. But then this ep happened and I was just like woah well this crossed into creepy and voyeuristic territory real quick. Cause Anna specifically put up tissue to cover the camera, and what is his first, immediate reaction to that? To look for a different camera that he can see her from and continue his fanboying. And like i get it, it’s his job blah blah but he doesn’t feel even mildly uncomfortable at spying on her like that! Instead he’s happy when he finds the other camera because it means he can continue his spying in peace. It’s just....an icky situation all around specifically because his actions can be excused by saying it’s his job “to keep her safe” so he can spy on her any time he wants. But like he’s not just watching her as an employee anymore like the other bodyguards who have been hired to do so, he has now become someone who watches her because he is attracted to her and that just makes it even creepier.
