Lee Joon Gi 이준기 | [Drama 2023] "Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramoon"

[pixelsticks]

Listening to Deucer now.  From that pic...I expected some sexy dance song.  Not a pretty ballad.  

Hey @glassnokamen ....that latest gif....ahhhh just open those arms a bit more JG....but then you look at his face...he seems so strangely insecure that you'll never ask him to open the shirt unless he wants to.   

 

I'm ready for a new photoshoot Joon Gi!  

 

Speaking of the rumors of Wang So...it would be interesting to know who started and perpetuated them!  Was it innocent, uninformed peasants and villagers or JiMong & the King or even the Kangs spreading the rumors to instill fear/disdain/respect onto this mysterious prince/prisoner.

Hahahah....I almost forgot!! 

 

I haven't started Episode 2 yet....but here is my next reaction question:

SHOW ME HOW YOU FELT WHEN YOU SAW WANG SO KNOCK HAE SOO OFF HIS HORSE 

 

This is my reaction:

This is probably what I would have done if I was Hae Soo.  I tend to laugh during all times...happy times and even in times of conflict.

Ah the beauty of white shirts...(and look at those hand veins)

 

 

 

cream white and tshirts count right?

It is legit, as @glassnokamen proved with evidence! There’s some more

It is in here....http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fangirling

And there are many levels. http://mashable.com/2013/08/11/fangirling-levels/#xgB7EP2_jkqw

So according to this, all of us are at least in level 9?

In the middle pic with his bright smile he looks so innocent and angelic!  Maybe you could make a post which appreciates his white shirts in CM – there were so many, right? You know, just for comparison purposes...

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! I tried to count them but must try again becasue I totally failed.

I think about 12 but I may be wrong. That's why there's a task for you - count them. And do it carefully.

 

On 10/15/2017 at 9:44 PM, pixelsticks said:

I may need to rewatch SWWTN again as well...

Yes, you definitely should watch SWWTN – @cedarwood gave us a task, remember? We have to count kisses!!  And I cannot be the only casualty of JG’s beauty! 

 

On 10/15/2017 at 10:09 PM, haniiiii said:

But of course, the number of sweet moments is definitely put in balance with number of sad/cry me a river parts. It is a Korean drama after all 

So true, K dramas are very good at playing with one’s emotions, particularly JG’s dramas – he’s so good at those kind of scenes, he’ll definitely break your heart into thousands of pieces!  And I love his crying scenes!

I read somewhere that editing is supposed to be a tiny bit better in the SBS version compared to the international version.

Did someone give him the sultry smokey eye?  Now...this makes me SO want to see him in some fantasy based role (with beautiful eye makeup) or even a role where he plays a woman (temporarily).

His eyes, as @cedarwood says, are Korea's national treasures!

And this one pops up alot today as well.

 He looks so soft and innocent in the new pics, it awakens my protective instincts!  

 

Oh, @pixelsticks and @cedarwood I officially hate quoting/ posting on Soompi! Why should it be this hard and time consuming?!!

And I wonder how long we will have to wait until we hear any casting news/photoshoot news/etc from LJG. 

We were spoiled last year with all the fan meets, Lotte Drama, movies, new website reveal, MEC etc.   

I'm nervous this will be a quiet few months.

 

And I just noticed...here is another of my top 15....

I I I I sure like him in white tops that are open at the top and dark boots.

That would be me whenever So and Soo are together in a close proximity to each other. 

23 hours ago, cedarwood said:

You sure about this? Hae Soo we know is different Hae Soo before the drama. Even her cousin said to her that she's different, more mature. I doubt there was something between Hae Soo and Wang Wook before - a grown up man running after some silly girl? He was too caring for his wife so I could believe that he tried to pick up Hae Soo before "the accident". 

At 29:46 says snake Wook says he brought HS to that place and that he will help her until the very end. Isn’t this something that Myung Hee should be saying? At 46:47 he says since she doesn’t remember anythingm she wouldn’t recognize him either. And after some talk he invades her personal space, then they zoooom into his face! He was definitely not keeping any distance between him and HS according to the Goryeo customs. And the age difference between them is not much either, right? He’s the same age as So and isn’t So 16 or 17 years old in 941 AD, which is almost the same age as Soo? 

 

23 hours ago, cedarwood said:

Which means... they're hiding something from us. 

LJG wouldn't lie to us... would he???

But... you know... there are reasons to believe that... they'll find each other.

Nope, JG didn’t lie – they did film the hankie scene but didn’t include it in the final episode. *glares at PD for making her life difficult*   There’s no doubt that Wang So will find his Soo again. He always keeps his promises!

 

23 hours ago, cedarwood said:

There's one thing about this mask - strangely it makes him even more beautiful. I don't know how to explain that but... that's how I see it.

There’s no mask in the world that could eclipse JG’s beauty – it just enhanced it, that’s all! 

 

23 hours ago, cedarwood said:

Oh yeah!!! But I must admit - he had so small amout of action scenes - I was hoping for more. 

I was very disappointed. He even learned Systema, right? They even cut that roof chase scene! They would have had their reasons, but still! 

 

23 hours ago, cedarwood said:

In my case it has nothing to do with courage - I had no other choice. I was waiting so much for this drama so it was impossible to wait few weeks longer to watch the whole thing. Then it was impossible to stop. 

And it was almost impossible to live - I couldn't think about anything else except this drama. I was so hooked and so totally loved Wang So... Something I thought I'm like on high.

*nods to everything you said* I’ve never felt this consumed by any drama before, and Wang So – Wang So is love!

And also count how many times you'll watch the bath scene tehehehehhee

I know… I should have known better after being slayed by Wang So’s beauty! Stupid me! I might have repeated some scenes already in the 5 episodes I’ve seen, you know, to understand the drama better. 

 

23 hours ago, cedarwood said:

Edit: Ouch! 2 long post from me... you're gonna kill me..

I love your posts and I love them even more when they are long.

 

@cedarwood @pixelsticks @glassnokamen about Wang So saving HS and the rumours about him - I think he would have saved anyone if they were in the same situation as HS, because despite his "cold-hearted assassin" reputation, he is actually a softie who loves his family. I'm not saying he loves everyone, but from what I understood he is definitely not someone who does not value "innocent" human lives. He knows how hard it is to live, to survive - he knows the value of life. The rumours about him would have started because of how he survived every attempt on his life (eg. wolves), maybe from Kangs to their servants to those servants' families etc. Although the rumours were started by others, maybe Wang So wouldn't have minded them spreading that much, since the fear in people's mind is also a sort of protection for him. I don't know whether I make any sense...

Finally done backreading... i was trying to comment about almost everything you posted, and was writing an extra-large post... when soompi crashed and i lost almost everything i wrote  I'm so mad right now that i don´t think i will write again...

 

Here're the only things saved:

 

On 12/10/2017 at 4:19 PM, pixelsticks said:

@antoniaclamens What source did you watch it? Did anybody stream it?  I didn't.  I remember patiently waiting for 7 pm EST Mondays & Tuesdays because that was when Dramafever would drop the new episode for the week.  Maybe they dropped both 1 & 2 right away...but I don't think I watched them that way.  I remember how painful it was the week baseball would interfere. 

 

I did post my MLSHR Episode 1 in the MLSHR thread. 

 

So I have another GIF reaction question while we wait to do Episode 2. 

SHOW ME your reaction to seeing Hyun Joon for the first time in Criminal Minds.

3 episodes first week. you can see the dates here:

and to follow my Disney gif parade, here's my reaction after watching HJ for the first time:

MLSHR was one of the first Korean dramas I saw, I think the second to tell the truth, and I was lucky enough to see it when it was over, so I did not experience all the anxiety that most of you have experienced     .

I live the anxiety to the most, but i think i was lucky to did so... watching while it was airing (and all the madness involved) was much of the fun... 

 

Quote

I confess: I was not particularly impressed by anyone at the recitative level in the first episode, but it seemed to me a good start, pretty cheerful and with lots of cool characters.I like very much the choral scene of all the princes at the bath... why???? Well.. I never seen so many korean male naked all at once ... and even now that I've seen other drama I would say that the only other case was in Hwarang   

Me neither... i only had eyes and heart for So... but later i came to apreciate and like/love some of the other characters. btw my first time seeing many korean male naked at once was in You're Beautiful (so so funny a scene!)

BTW love your review and I'm watching SBS version (i was planing on watching international version, but i haven´t found the links to download)

Btw, my Korean Speech Contest ended and I was awarded with bronze 3rd place. ^^~

 

Competition was tough, there were more experienced competitors  But I am totally happy that in those five minutes I said everything from my memory without mistakes and I was even smiling and said it somehow happily   (JG effect possibly? loool)

OMG Congratulations!!!!!!!! i'm so proud and so happy for you. best news today!!!

Ah talking about CM BTS..and him being dorky,  and cute...this extra large size child

I live for JG drama BTS!!!!!

I must confess i've only watched JG's BTS... i never cared about BTS until MLSHR... sometimes i think i enjoy his BTS more than his dramas... i must be crazy

btw i also live for your gifs 

 

Just one final comment: the principal difference between MLSHR  International Version and SBS version is that SBS version has more So's scenes. I think a list of the differences is in MLSHR thread (first page). I watched both versions while the drama was airing, and as a whole i liked SBS version way better (obviously, because it had more So in it!) but it was better edited also... still there're a few things i like better in the International version (like So&Soo hug after their passionate kiss in episode 16). i think it was more fun watching both versions at that time, but after that i only rewatched SBS version (that's why i wanted to watch International version now!) So if you won´t watch both versions, i think SBS version is the best choice!!

 

Now off to watch Episode 2!!!!

I didn't sleep very much in the last time, so I'm quite always awake when he's update his IG  Mmmmhh.... I think it's filter and lighting that makes his hair lighter... see how his skin is soo "pale" that also the mole on his cheek is gone?

@pixelsticks It was hard to choose any favourite outfit (how to choose from all of those beautiful ones? ), but it will be much easier with two ones that I consider somehow not so nice. Eventhough JG nailed both of them  He could wear a plastic bag and he would be sexy..

 

Anyway... I think the "stripe" design trend was so visible in Criminal Minds, almost everybody wore it, maybe only team leader didn't (or did he? lol)   The ones JG wore were generally nice, but I didn't like the following one very much. Both Hyun Jun and Seon Woo look like they are wearing pyjamas. I am sorry, maybe somebody could consider it smart and cool, I just detest it 

 

 

And another issue - double denim. I know it is acceptable and actually trendy this year, but eventhough I loved the combination with the dark blue denim shirt, I kinda hated the light one (and also the jeans with those visible white stitches...eeeeew ugly hahaha).
