Eun Tak - Tumblr Posts
so i just finished watching guardian - the lonely and great god, and i have to say, never thought any drama would match our beloved summer, but here we are.
WHAT could be better than gong yoo and lee dong wook fighting with telekinesis?
i. one issue i noticed a lot of people had when i read the reviews — the age gap. yes, i completely agree, it was weird to see a thirty-something man fall in love with a girl who kept acting like a 13 y/o, but at the same time, it's mentioned quite clearly that she's 19/20. it's hardly ever a problem that is faced by people who ship vampires and humans (cough delena stelena cough).
ii. mild solace for those who were severely creeped out tho — in the last few episodes, there's a time jump of 9 years, and they get properly married. (eun-tak without kim shin was totally geet in manali era)
iii. gong yoo's acting? chef's kiss. but that's to be expected of a great actor. watching guardian prompted me to watch his slap scene in squid games again, so good. when he smiled, i felt wiggly inside.
iv. nothing nothing nothing will ever beat the bromance of grim reaper and goblin. their telekenisis knife fights? shin immediately taking out a sword when reaper offers a hug? banging the table to throw salt and pepper around? chaotic man children and i loved them.
v. sue me, but i loved the second lead couple as much as the main couple. i didn't love them very extravagantly, mainly because i was constantly annoyed with sunny's attitude initially, but that grew to be so awesome. loved her for making the healthy choice when she left, broke my heart for yeo, but loved her still.
vi. a separate point for deok hwa in his almighty era you go bitch he looked so hot in that bar scene
anyway, that was it for this one, im watching legend of the blue sea, boys over flowers, tale of the nine tailed right now. whichever i finish first, I'll be sure to post! recommend some other ones you like, and I'll share my watchlist as well
9/10
This woman is the most iconic character this show has and nothing you say can change my mind.
