Is Bossam steal the fate good? I think I read the summary a while back where it made it seem like the ML kidnaps the FL or something? Which I wasn't a fan of but maybe I read it wrong? can you tell me more about it and the characters and how is the otp?
Okay, Nonnie...buckle up because I've been procrastinating my Bossam Propaganda Post and you walked right into it.
Short answer: Bossam is amazing. Watch it.
Long answer:
The setup is that Ba Wu takes the princess because of a miscommunication. He doesn't kidnap her with evil intentions or anything. That pretty much gets resolved between them in episode 2.
Why is it amazing?
Single dad Ba Wu is just trying to make a living and do the right thing. He gets sucked in to doing things that are morally grey but he's a super good guy. Grump with a heart of gold, our Ba Wu is. (Also with a dramatic family backstory because this is a sageuk.) When he sees the princess without shoes because they had to go on the run, he goes out and buys her pretty shoes - measuring for the right ones from the memory of tending to her bleeding foot. I mean, peak romance right there!
The princess is strong, resilient and sweet. She's not a caricature of a pampered, spoiled princess who comes to love the gruff commoner because he teaches her manners. She does have to learn about the common people, but she wholeheartedly does what she can to support their little 'family' when they are on the run. Soo Kyung is a badass princess who can verbally spar with the best of them and wield a bow and arrow to save her people. She's one of my favorite female leads.
The PINING! These two are the ultimate stubborn idiots in love. The touches! The stares! The longing! They have fantastic chemistry and when they finally kiss...omg I will combust.
So many great tropes but two of my favorites ~ Found Family! Fake Marriage! We've got an adorable little boy who immediately takes to the princess and calls her mom. We have quirky friends and family that make up a wonderful little group banding together. I love them all.
The writing is great. The pace keeps moving so you're never bored. The typical palace shenanigans and political machinations stay focused on how they affect the main characters instead of political side plots that no one cares about.
So...I hope you watch, Anon, because it's really an unappreciated gem around here. I hope more people pick it up because it deserves more love.
Thanks for the ask and I hope this helps!
Ocean Rock
A little ficlet set in episode 8 of Bossam
She kept the rock in her pocket, a little weight that would occasionally hit her leg as she walked about her day. It would bump against her and she’d slip her hand into the pocket to feel its smooth warmth. It was little larger than a pebble, long, flat and oval. At first she’d thought it black but it had been wet then. Dried, it settled into a dark, ashy grey. Looked at in the light, she could find small striations that waved over its surface.
An ocean rock.
Dae Yeop teased her the day she’d tripped while running in the palace and a small pair of pebbles had slipped from the pockets of her silk hanbok, taken from the banks of the man-made stream that ran through the palace gardens. She’d blushed and defensively proclaimed they were pretty.
Jewels had been gifted to her from the moment she’d been born, and beautiful jades, and golden trinkets. She had every manner of precious thing tucked into chests and drawers in palace rooms; she wanted for nothing when it came to priceless baubles and trinkets. But the little pebbles had called to her, gleaming white, jagged edges sometimes sparkling in the light. They reminded her of her time in the gardens, of Dae Yeop - seeing them would make her heart race.
Those pebbles were long gone, now, but she could not quite remember when or where.
But that day that Ba Woo had taken her to the ocean she’d looked down and seen it, glittering darkly under the foam of surging waves. She had plucked it out, the first ocean rock she’d ever held.
Later that night she’d sat on the stone beach, turning the little black rock over in her hands, listening to the ocean that she’d never even hoped to see in her life, though quieter than when they’d arrived, it was still a lulling rhythm that danced with her heart. She watched as Ba Woo explain to Cha Dol how to find the perfect rocks for skipping.
Worn smooth by years of waves, this would be a perfect rock for skipping, she realized, but her heart seized at the thought of tossing it away.
Ba Woo had looked up and his eyes caught hers in the failing light, laughter teasing at his lips and glowing in his eyes, such a rare sight. She opened her mouth to thank him again but she held back. She’d already thanked him for this, for taking her to the sea, for giving her the experience of the ocean. It would be ridiculous and sentimental to repeat the words. He already knew. He didn’t need to be told again.
She rubbed the rock, instead, then tucked it, still a little damp, into her pocket, a secret kept close.
It brought a little measure of calm, stroking it, hefting it, feeling its weight and so she kept it in her pocket day in and out. She worried it anxiously as she hid around the corner of the police office, Chun Bae a few steps ahead of her to bribe and sweet-talk the guards into letting them in to see Ba Woo. She clutched it tight as she ducked around him into the courtyard, looking around for him. For Ba Woo, her dark, smooth ocean rock.
Didn’t you say this? That we should never meet again? Why don’t you forget things like that? I told you I had my reasons. You only remember such useless things like that.
BOSSAM: STEAL THE FATE (2021)
Your Highness… what is all this? My only possession used to be my mourning clothes. It seems my luggage has grown since then. Even if it’s just a single outer garment, a pair of socks, and one fine comb. Oh, and I got a hairpin, too.
BOSSAM: STEAL THE FATE (2021)
INJECT THIS STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS- the depth the prettiness
i love love LOVE it that in their first few encounters she sees him first and gazes upon him first, and impresses him upon her mind first with all of him-his meloncholia, his loneliness, his brashness, his image-are all made within her view
when the first guitar strum of jung in’s love story hits, i was hook line sinker for this drama-was like yesss give me moody shared contemplative stares across the broad horizon
Ba Wu staring at the Princess his wife.

For your sake and mine, it would have been better if I died. Why are you going this far for me? Like you… I’m already a dead person.
BOSSAM: STEAL THE FATE — EP. 08
Then, let’s die.
SNSD’s entire career has been built on things that have never been done before. So why should the current situation be any different?
