#warrior baek dong soo

[dangermousie]

I should not be thinking the things I am thinking about a man who looks like the definition of the verb "reek" BUTTTTT

Ji Chang Wook has come a long way from his first sageuk:

Warrior Baek Dong Soo, the sageuk that walked so My Country could run...

Anyway, man is giving off bona fide Lee Seo Jin in Gyebaek vibes here and I am living!

PS Clearly, he's a fan of playing period dudes with blood on face but this time they could afford gallons...

Latest project:

Did you know that the official novelization of Warrior Baek Dong-soo has a different ending, one where Yeo Woon lives?

The scene from this book where Woon and Dong-soo run hand-in-hand under a starry sky has been fan translated before, but now my friend Milliecake has translated the entire book. We’re posting bi-weekly recaps of each chapter with excerpts and commentary. There are lots of huge deviations from the show, including:

- The answer to Jin-joo’s parentage takes a very different turn

- Hong never even attempts a coup

- Everything between Chun and Gwang-taek plays out differently

- There’s no gross proposals for the girls and nobody asks Jin-joo to put down her sword

- Cho-rip was never meant to be a rotten bastard

- Ji-sun actually has lines

- And Woon’s ultimate fate? It’s never been done in fanfiction before, and it’s fabulous.

If you’re curious about all the ways in which Episode 29 really robbed us, come have a read. We’re two chapters in with 28 to go!

A Valentine’s Day Ode to Characters That I Love & Adore…

1. Drunk Ninja Chun from Warrior Baek Dong Soo.

I was down BAD for this dude from the second he swaggered and stumbled onto the screen. I still can’t explain it but it was instantaneous. Lust.

2. Tagon & Ta Al-ha from Arthdal Chronicles.

I love a power couple. Especially when you’re never quite sure if they might kill each other one day.

3. Gong Shim from Beautiful Gong Shim.

I just fell for her. She was so real. Sure the drama fell off towards the end but I always think of her.

4. The Post It Girl, Kim Miyoung, from Fated to Love You.

She’s just so genuine and sweet and struggling but not at all a victim and I would die for her. Her personality is my ideal type in ladies. Nerdy, kind, softies who would throw themselves in front of a bus to rescue a kitten.

5. Kang Chi from Gu Family Book.

I loved this character in this cheesy, feel good fairy tale show. He was so charming and good hearted. I loved Bae Suzy in this too but Kang Chi won me over completely. Monster boys rule.

6. Nan Xu Yue | Tian Mìng Shu from The Blossoming Love.

My guy Fate just did not get it. And I’ve felt like the majority of my life, fascinated but closed off from all the feelings I’m seeing around me.

7. Zhu Yan from Fangs of Fortune.

Mesmerizing character, mesmerizing performance, and mesmerizingly handsome actor. I love a monster boy.

8. The Shrink,Go Yiseok, from Heart to Heart.

What can I say? I love a fun disaster man. I have a soft spot for people who are used to worming their way out of situations using their wit and quick reportaie - but are often their own worst enemies.

9. Xing Yun & Shen Li from The Legend of Shen Li.

Another perfect couple. Flawless. I adore them and their entire storyline - their shared screen time was electric. Their quirky personalities were so yin yang.

10. Gao Shide from We Best Love: No. 1 For You season 1 & 2.

Listen, if you’ve watched this show you know. He’s this patient, observant, caring saint of a man who is head over heels but in a very cool and collected way. In a too smart for his own good way. He’s confident and smugly flirtatious one minute and completely closed off and second guessing himself the next. I love his smooth low voice and his besotted eyes when he’s staring at his love.

[thememoryofthatday]

I wouldn't marry me either.

I'd marry you with paper rings.
