kdrama ride or die

Excuse me, good sir. Those pink macarons, are they kdrama flavor? Yes? Lovely! I'll take the whole box!

Missing Woo Do-Hwan so much, dammit! So here's a big dose of The Sweetness so you can compare WDH as a derpy sweet teenager and the grown-up guy we all adore.

Some venn diagram fun for that sweet spot where kdrama and Woo Do-Hwan fans overlap with Dr Who fans. Yay nerds!

Pretty sure y'all are missing Woo Do-Hwan like I have been, right??? He's been gone sooooo long! He's like crack for my heart and eye balls. I know his new Netflix drama Hunting Dogs will be out as soon as they reshoot that actress' scenes, but it's hard to wait, dammit.

I like my menfolk pretty.

Just look at these sexy flower boy muthafuckers. These grown ass men are all accomplished actors who work their asses off every day, and they ALSO sing, dance, do martial arts, archery, sword fighting, AND they know their way around a make-up counter. They ain't got time to play that pitifully outdated Fragile Male Ego Game.

I meant to include Jang Dong-Yoon's photo from Tale of Nokdu, but I forgot and I'm hella lazy so fuck it. Instead I give you these gifs of him in one of my most favoritest kdrama scenes EVER. This fan dance had me utterly smitten.

There's so much smoky-eyed idol beauty that I'm spoiled for choice. There's lovely shiny pretty flower boy magic everywhere I turn. I sense a second pretty menfolk post may be necessary. Maybe a third, lol. But for now I'll just settle for a little pixie snack: Hwang In-Yeop, aka the Prince of Fairy Magic. So much sparkly eye I wanna scream!

If all this is getting you hot and bothered, just wait till I post about Hallyu men looking stunning in skirts and dresses. All the sexy shiny will blow your mind.

P.S. Lee Hong-Ki (top, right) gets bonus points cuz he loves fancy pants cosmetics, he can belt out a ballad like nobody's biz, and he released a book of nail art for dudes. Daebak!

The bromance between V and Park Bo-Gum is the antidote to 2020 that we all need right now. Flower boys irl, right?

The original pic had pale yellow flowers (and was too pale overall), and my brain kept wanting the flowers to be pink. A few minutes playing with glitchlab, and all was well again, lol.

I'm including the more vibrant versions here in case that's what you're into. Nice wallpaper options for the phone.

The blep and mlem of the Hallyu Wave.

The kdrama king of a bit of tongue is Lee Min-Ho, hands down. If you google his name + tongue, you’ll  smile at all the pics that come up. Dude is always sliding that tongue around, lol. Seems mostly like an unconscious thing, but pretty sure a few were on purpose.

Over on the kpop side, the reigning king is Taehyung, aka V of BTS. He also played the darling youngest in Hwarang, a role that definitely made me a fan. Plus he’s BFFs with Park Bo-Gum, and they take these insanely adorable photos when they’re out playing. Super high squee factor. But anyways, V has the tip of that little tongue showing on the regular, especially when he is on stage. Check out the same google tongue search to see the super cuteness.

Park Bo-Gum... So sweet, so funny, so damn real. Got that whole sparkly eye thing he can do on command. And surprisingly good at being evil (or playing evil, I should say).

After watching him portray a thoughtful, meticulous killer with a disturbing hair part in Hello Monster, I couldn’t move on to the next PBG item in the queue.  I’d think of PBG, and this exact I-Kill-You smirk would pop up in my head. And that goddamn hair part would appear, making me irrationally angry. Guess that’s a hard limit for me, lol.

Had to watch several palate cleansers to rid myself of that lingering serial killer funk. That shit is hard to wash off. Proof he did a good job.

I’m curious to see what sort of projects he does in the future, as every new level of success gives him more freedom to pursue what truly interests him, since he’s less and less beholden to others. He’s stated that he’d like to do some film work in the US in the future, and his English has been improving by leaps and bounds in his recent work (especially Record of Youth), so he’s obvs working on that. I’m so glad he pursued acting instead of singing as he’d originally planned.

Did you know he’s a good dancer? And in full crown prince regalia no less. Can’t you just hear the head eunuch wailing, “Choh-HAH!!!”

Long live Bo-Gum the Shining Sword!  (the meaning of his unusual name)

Boss Suit + Boss Chair + Boss Swagger = Woo Do-Hwan wins. Done.

So that’s settled then. 

Good talk.

And on we go to round two...

The oppa business is tiring, guys, so this pack of lovely menfolk are gonna take a little nap on your leather sofa, if you please. Actually, Gong Yoo looks like he just woke up from a long nap, the cute little derp.

Lee Byung-Hun is exhausted from wearing that aggressive pattern all day. Stylist is so fired. LBH has gone full-on cranky now cuz his eyeballs hurt.

I’m super impressed with Kim Woo Bin’s crazy tall hairstyle in the top right pic, cuz it reminds me of the baddie in the first Incredibles movie. Respect.

And just like that, His Almighty Tallness Kim Woo Bin takes the prize.

Up for another round? Glutton for punishment then, aren’t you.... 

IU is looking BOSSULAR. No doubt. 

And Lee Byung-Hun lounging like an OG with his homey Choi Seung-Woo on that tiny couch has a certain appeal.

Lee Joon-Gi, that beautiful vamp, always has my vote, but somehow he’s just not livin’ large here. Time for a new decorator.

There’s babby Yoo Ah-In looking all sexy skinny emo in his luxury hoodie back in like, 2012 or something. High points for all that Beautiful Angst, but I’m gonna have to go with...

Lee Jong-Suk. Yep. LJS wins this one, hands down. Love those Chucks and the cool confidence seeping out of his every pore. That is swagger, aka BOSS material.

One more round. One more! You can do it, I know you can...

Last up are the renegades who can’t be bothered to furniture. They are NOT having it. 

Kim Woo Bin, who is every-fucking-where in this post, has started making trouble. He day drank all the Chardonnay in your secret stash, and he smashed up your Rococo chairs while you were at Zumba class. He thinks they’re hideous but imo, he might wanna rethink that vanilla ice cream suit before casting stones.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... It’s STILL all about Kim Woo Bin for some reason. He ditched the white suit. He then dragged your tufted leather couch out your back door, off the deck (deep scratches), and out into the Las Vegas desert sand so that he could enjoy the sunset with a pitcher of vodka martinis. He’s confident Dean Martin would approve, but has no idea that Deano’s stage drinks were apple juice. He also has no idea how foolish it is to go barefoot around cacti, but will find out quite soon. Four minutes pass, then the sight of a scorpion sends him screaming into the house. I mean full-on SCREAMING, which the scorpion finds quite traumatizing. KWB takes a rose petal bath to calm the fuck down. Meanwhile, the resident coyotes pee on their new couch. You find yourself wondering, yet again, what possessed you to invite this rando Hallyu idol to your Vegas house. It’ll be fun, they said. A real adventure! You finally understand that your friends are assholes.

Christ, we gotta wrap this up. We’ll just say that Lee Min-Ho wins this final round, because I’m losing interest. At least he didn’t hand anyone’s couch over to a pack of pissy coyotes. #goals
