#rom-com drama

[sunlighthroughthe-ashes]

this was such a small moment; but so sweet and full of love that it transcended the screen.

in every timeline so far; sunjae's 'abeoji' has lost his son: has seen him depressed, guilt-ridden, and finally; irretrievably, dead. he must have felt so helpless — must have cried over sunjae's cold body: begged for a second chance for his son.

fate finally gave it to him: now sunjae's 'abeoji' gets to see him lit from within with happiness; together with the love of his life — embraced and welcomed by her family. touched by the tender hand of joy.

he doesn't know it, but seeing sunjae with sol has healed him of a hurt he didn't even know he had in the first place. all sunjae's 'abeoji' knows is that his son is smiling wider than he's ever seen him; lifted into the hands of bliss by pure, pure love. so he looks on fondly; his heart swelling with pride.

he accepts with easy grace: sunjae belongs to sol. and always will.

It's not that I couldn't get over her. I just chose not to.

I’m trying to watch more non horror movies so if anyone has any suggestions, send them my way

I watched these films when I was an impressionable teenager and now I have an unrealistic and borderline delusional view of love

About Last Night (1986) dir. Edward Zwick

Quote: “You don't know what love is. You've gotten everything you have always wanted and now you're feeling sorry for yourself because there's something you want and you can't have it. But you had it! I gave you love. But you asked me to leave and I left.”

Pretty Woman (1991) dir. Garry Marshall

Quote: “I'd really like you to stay. I don't want to be alone tonight.”

Ever After (1998) dir. Andy Tennant

Quote: “And we, Princess, are supposed to live happily ever after.”

Dance With Me (1998) dir. Randa Haines

Quote: “I don't wanna be in love.”

You’ve Got Mail (1998) dir. Nora Ephron

Quote: “Kevin, this woman is the most adorable creature I've ever been in contact with, and if she turns out even to be as good-looking as a mailbox, I'd be crazy not to turn my life upside down and marry her”

Someone Like You (2001) dir. Tony Goldwyn

Quote: “I know it hurts. I know. It's so hard to believe that something that wonderful can ever happen to us again, but it can.”

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) dir. Joel Zwick

Quote: “I came alive when I met you.”

Maid in Manhattan (2002) dir. Wayne Wang

Quote: “No, honey. It's more like a dream, you know? And for one night, you're living it for all of us. Don't think about tomorrow. Don't think about anything but tonight. Tonight, the maid is a lie. And this, this is who you really are.”

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) dir. Donald Petrie

Quote: “You can't lose something you never had.”

The Last Song (2010) dir. Julie Anne Robinson

No one tagged me, I just had a brain worm on account of the @softsteddieseptember prompt “cheesy pickup lines” for this week. But this isn’t really an entry, just an outline that I don’t have the brainpower for right now. 

Steve is an actor who always gets what (who) he wants. He’s kind of been a fuckboy about it in the past, but his best friend and frequent co-star Robin is a good influence on him, helped him come to terms with and come out as bisexual and everything. 

Eddie is a computer programmer with a part time job as a barista, and has what he definitely feels is the misfortune to make Steve’s ridiculously customized latte. 

The latte isn’t foamy enough or something. Actually, it’s just that Steve has taken an interest and wants to get to know the cute barista, likes that Eddie doesn’t even recognize him from his movies at first. 

Eddie says something about his computer programming work, and Steve laughs and calls him a nerd, which does not go over well. 

Steve comes back most days whenever he’s in town, trying to salvage it, but Eddie is firmly convinced it’s unsalvageable, a nonstarter in the first place. No matter how disappointed he always feels on the days Steve doesn’t show, or how much he ends up telling Steve about his life in between rejections.

At some point Robin shows up at the cafe to let Eddie know she’s sorry he has to put up with her hopeless bff’s low-key stalking and that she’s trying to talk Steve into a long filming project in Europe to chill out, so he’ll soon be out of Eddie’s hair. 

Something something, idk, maybe Steve talked about Eddie to Dustin, who works in computers or something and needs a new programmer. Dustin reaches out to offer an interview while Steve is off incommunicado on set, totally Dustin’s own idea, Steve is just the reason he knows how to find the guy. Eddie gets the job purely on merit from that point and gets to quit working at the cafe, all his money problems are now solved. 

By the time Steve gets back, Eddie is close with Dustin and the rest of the kids, Hellfire Club style. They all think he’s the coolest. Also, they end up telling him a bunch of stories about Steve and how he used to be kind of a douchebag but has since grown into a really good dude. And even more recently (which Eddie eventually realizes means since he and Steve first met) has cooled it on dating around and ended up in a lot fewer gossip mags and tabloids, which has generally been pretty good for his mental health. 

Steve comes by one of their game nights and is caught completely unaware off guard. But he takes Eddie aside and apologizes for hanging around so much before. 

Eddie forgives him. Really, the worst Steve ever did was greet him with increasingly silly pickup lines and offer to show him a good time, only to leave with a shrug and his latte when Eddie turned him down again. Always tipped everyone at the cafe well, not just Eddie, and never made him feel like he expected anything because of it.

Steve points out that (*gestures the Party*) most of his favorite people are nerds, he’d just put his foot in his mouth like a dumbass that first day. (He does not mention that he used to get really defensive when people noticed/called him out on that, he’s come so far! Robin is so proud, even though he’s still definitely a dingus.)

Anyway, they start to part on good terms. Just before heading out, though Steve turns with a huge grin that Eddie recognizes and says, “Hey, since we’re starting off on a different foot now, let me introduce myself… My name is Microsoft. Can I crash at your place tonight?” 

Eddie stares at him, then laughs so hard that his face hurts. 

He finally takes Steve up on that date. 

Did I write all that up for the cheesy pickup punchline? Absolutely.

Do I wanna write the actual fic? Nah. So it’s up for grabs if anyone else wants to, just tag me so I can read it someday.

Tagging… idk, my permanent tag list I guess. 😛 I’m stuck in a car for 6 more hours (out of 11), gotta get this pasted in before I lose reception again.

Sooooo, I've been in a class most of the day for a work certification. I get out, decide to check tumblr, and see a bunch of reblogs and am confused. Then realize The Copollo Honeytrap Post is circulating again. "Rom Com Drama Bomb", as I'm calling it, is on the docket after I finish editing and start posting the final chapters of Flowers for Apollo again.

[sjoongki]

when a drama says that it’s going to be a romcom, I expect a proper romcom like “business proposal” ok 😭

[sab-teraa]

Middle age romcoms are truly where it’s at!!

Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a BL drama that hits just the right notes.

I'm in the mood for a romantic comedy with substance—something witty, and meaningful. Fluff and laughs are encouraged but not void.

Smut or no smut. From any country. Old gem or a recent hit.

I'd love your recommendations! Drop them in the comments.

My Sassy Girl (2001)

Dir. Kwak Jae-yong

[sunlighthroughthe-ashes]

i'm back to fixate on this moment, again.

look at how sunjae's expression completely transforms once he realizes that sol DOES love him as much, (if not more than) he loves her. that he's not just a problem to be rid of, for her; not an uncomfortable experience, or a traumatic memory.

he's wonderstruck at this epiphany — you can see his whole face soften, his mouth tighten as he chokes back tears, his eyes sweeten (and sober) into dark honey. the only girl he's ever loved actually loves him BACK: has gone against fate to try and save him.

what is death in the face of such commitment?

i marvel at the spare beauty of this confession: it's not ornate, or flowery, or overly elaborate. it simply is — just like sunjae. just like his love for sol.

"please keep liking me," he says. "if i die saving you, that's fine with me." such plain, earnest sentences — yet staggering in their immensity. this is the simple, sweeping grace of sunjae's confession — it doesn't need to be dressed in pretty words. all it needs is to exist.

this is what sunjae means: live with me, love with me, and dying will be worth it. it will have been a privilege to die because of you — my last moments will have been in service of my love. all my time was yours anyway.

this, followed by the gentlest of all kisses, to seal their unspoken promise. a kiss they will both remember — because their universes finally align.

because they belong to each other.

I'm going to find Cho Sam Dal instead of Cho Eun Hye.

I'm glad they gave the Sunday slot to Only Boo. When Cooking Crush was airing, my Sunday was only meant to watch fluffy and sweet series and now with Only Boo, it's just the same feeling.

I feel like Only Boo is the perfect substitute for Cooking Crush. Gmmtv should keep only light and cute series on Sunday. So, you finish the week on a positive note and you can be ready for the next one. 😊
