Did you try to use any body language similar to Erica?      I had actually never seen Erica on Smallville before.  I hadn’t seen the new season, so when I got up to Vancouver, I grabbed some tapes.  I remember talking to the director, David Barrett, about this and saying that because we were sisters, we’d have similar mannerisms.  It might not even matter that I don’t toss my hair the same way Erica does, or do other things, because Lucy was pretty much shipped off when she was four or five years old.      It was funny because while we were on set, people were saying that we were so sisterly.  It’s not that we look so much alike, but we looked like sisters, acted like sisters.  We got along really well.  It definitely helped.

While everyone was angry and unhappy with the breakup between hongjo and shinyu I was enjoying it. The romance peaked there. They both were so miserable especially shinyu dude was even ready to die if it means he get to be with her.

#destined with you #jang shin yu #lee hong jo

[palepersonaturtle]

Thinking about what will happen when one day Hongjo goes through shinyu's phone gallery for their pics and accidentally comes across that one pic of her where she is unconscious when they first met at the shrine.

#he will have a long day explaining that for sure #destined with you #jang shin yu #lee hong jo

[palepersonaturtle]

They released 83 background scores and then didnt care to release the one from the very start of ep4 and the one when shinyu resigns from his law firm😭

Anyways all the spooky and the historical bgs are one of the best i have listened

DWY Sageuk story expansion

I love the sageuk part in dwy and i think it was perfect for what they wanted to convey. But i think a little more details would have made that story more wholesome and compelling. So this is my attempt to bring more details to the story.

- Aengcho's life with her birth family and how they got to know she was the chosen one by tge spirits and abandoned her.

- Details about shamanism in joseon period and how shamans were treated.

- more details about jang family and how high ranked nobility they were

-aengcho and mujin meet when they are kids and fall in love as they grow up

-aengcho writes spell books and mujin reads them. They discuss about how she gets the info about the specific ingredients required from the spirits in connected with her.

- Mujin laughs at the love spell and asks aengcho if it really works. Aengcho explains that it will only intensify the real feelings otherwise it will not work and that she has to design it for a specific person everytime.

- Mujin asks aengcho to write a love spell for him for so that they can use it in their next life because in every life he wants to fall in love with her. Aengcho denies saying that i cannot force you and he reminds her that it will only tell his real feelings and that they are connected by hearts and he just wants to fall in love with her in his next life asap. Aengcho laughs at his foolishness.

- Aengcho writes a spell book which can be used in their next life and keeps them in a box which can only be opened by her now and when their next life counterparts meet.

- Mujin gets ordered by his father to marry since a high ranking scholar's daughter (enters past life nayeon) has taken a liking for him. Mujin denies and is threatened by his father wiyh aengcho.

- Mujin tries to runaway with aengcho but aengcho denies as she is threatened by mujin's father

- Mujin meets his to be wife and tells her how he is in love with other woman and that he cannot marry her. The lady still insists on marrying him and his father again threatens him with aengcho's life. Eventually he gets married.

- Several years pass Mujin is now at a high position in the military currently stationed in thr palace. Aengcho gets hired by the king's concubine to get her a son by using spell.

- Aengcho and Mujin meet again in the palace, aengcho tells her real feelings to mujin but at the end they decide to remain only as friends since mujin is married now(sorry i cannot take cheating even if it was common in joseon period for men)

- Aengcho gets threatened with mujin's life by the concubine and asks her to perform black magic on the crowned prince.

- Aengcho tries but couldnt put the curse. The crowned prince still gets harmed and aengcho is accused for that. She is captured and tortured and all her spell books are burned and when the king tries to kill her she reveals the curse the person who kills her will put on himself and mujin listens that.

- Mujin rescues aengcho from the well and takes her to her shrine and promises to take her to a safe place.

- Next day when they are on their way they get ambushed by the soldiers, Mujin is told how aengcho is going to be killed by dismemberment anf how it will also make aengcho's soul perish to never reincarnate.

- Mujin still tries to fight the soldiers but eventually he cannot and ends up killing aengcho himself and he gets cursed

- Mujin buries aengcho's remains near the shrine and promises her to find the real culprit. Mujin also finds the box and letter from aengcho where she had kept her last spell book. Mujin burries the box hoping that they would be able to meet in their next life.

- Mujin gets reprimanded by his family for the curse and almost committing treason for helping the accused. Mujin apologizes. Mujin tries to finds the real culprit with the time left before he dies because of the curse but couldnt. Mujin dies and his wife reads his will.

- His wife realises Mujin's love for Aengcho and decides to protect the Shrine for generations to come as requested by mujin in in his will.

Plot for Evil Gardener-

- Male Shamans were rare during the joseon period. Thus very few peopld knew abt EG being a shaman. Moreover he chose to become one rather than being one.

-Why? To take revenge on the the royal family and the jang family who were involved in killing his shaman sister for delving in black magic.

- So he decides to help the concubine to kill the crown prince. As aengcho is not able to curse the prince he steals one of her books and uses it kill the crown prince but he couldnt as he is not as powerful as aengcho and neither the curses written in the book are that powerful as it is tge first book written by aengcho.

- Meanwhile, aengcho hides the latest curse book in the box where she had kept the spell book as she is the only one who is able to open her.

- At some point in his life after all that tragedy happens to aengcho and mujin, the EG gardener dies by extreme use of black magic unable to find the book and take revenge on the Jang Family.

- In the present, he is after aengcho's reincarnation i.e. Hongjo and the curse book to take his revenge on Jang family.

This is just a rough outline for his character i might add more details and change some parts.

He never did. And its funny how i thought hongjo will shift to his apartment but he is the one who did it

Something i have noticed is even though Jang Shinyu is kinda richie rich he rarely flaunts. Even his apartment, like it screamed rich and classy but it wasnt extravagant like we see in other rich boy × poor girl dramas.

#also did anyone notice he used the same furniture from his apartment when he shifted to hongjo's house #dude never thought the need of living in his own house until he shifted to onju #and he asks hongjo to pay for their meal during their fake dinner date #destined with you

[palepersonaturtle]

His family home (i dont think he owns it buy it is still his)

He owns the land on the onju mt which the gov is so eager to get

Other lands his family might own

His father's construction company. He might not work there but i think he is one of the shareholder

And now he is back to Law and High so he gets money from there too

I really want to know how rich Jang family is like i want the stats because looks at this hospital room or is it a villa?!??! I have never seen a hospital room this big in any kdrama.

The side stories were just not compelling for me.

The love story b/w Ms Ma and Mr Gong bored tf outta me. Instead they could have shown on how Lee Hong jo warms upto her coworkers as a side story and how they start to care for her as their junior and youngest.

What was the point of showing that verbal abuse is bad when shinyu's mom and dad were never going to get a divorce anyway. The writers failed so awfully in this. They could have been just a sweet couple who cared and loved their son.

I wish they had shown us more of Park Gi dong and his dynamic with Shinyu.

DWY timeline fix-it

Eps 3&4 were great imo. It was from ep5 that the plot got repetitive.

Some suggestions on what each episode should have entailed and how it should have ended,

Ep5- This epiosde should have ended with hongjo and shinyu performing the disaster nullification spell and his sudden love confession to hongjo in front of Jae Kyeong.

Ep6- They should have actually used the 100 days that DNS required to work for exploring both shinyu and hongjo's feelings for e/o with shinyu finally breaking up with nayeon since he has a clue now that his feelings might be real with a final favour for nayeon to keep their breakup a secret for the time being.

Ep7- Shinyu still in denial trying to control his growing feelings for hongjo and yet failing. Shinyu confronting nayeon on slapping hongjo and her being hongjo's bully. Shinyu and Hongjo going on a fake date to catch the stalker, apologizing to each other for their past mistakes and hongjo confronting Shinyu for being a coward.

Ep8- Shinyu in a Coma, the past life reveal, the confession on the bridge, him formally ending his engagement with nayeon by telling their families, nayeon stirring chaos, the beach scene where both hongjo and shinyu confess and start dating and the return of the bloody hand.

Ep 9 and 10 should have been what Ep 11 and 12 are with more info on the gardener's motives.

Ep 11- breakup

Ep 12 and 13- should have explored the past life in detail with their patch up at the end of ep13

Ep14, 15, 16- should have been hongjo and shinyu exposing tge gardener, hongjo casting the last spell on the gardener, shinyu giving the justice aengcho deserved by prosecuting the gardener, lots of fluff and a happily ever after. With an epilogue of aengcho and mujin discussing how the love spell works and mujin burrying the box so that they can meet in their next life.

Shinyu×Hongjo au

All hong jo ever wanted in her life was someone to talk to someone to share to her daily life her worries with and now after all these years of lonely takeout dinners she has her very own husband Jang Shin yu to do that.

Everyday hong jo would babble about her day at city hall and what all complaints she got and how she solved them to shin yu and he was more than ready to listen her. Actually he loved to listen her voice and thus would sit through it with completely whipped eyes momentarily giving her "hmm's"

But today it is different his wife wanted to relay an incident that happened when she and her junior went to solve a complaint. Yes, her "junior" as hong jo is now promoted as the head manager of the complaints department of the city hall.

So here he is sitting on their bed leaning against thd headboard all ready to cuddle his wife and sleep yet still watching his enthusiastic wife giving him a live action demo on how she rescued her junior from a greasy man who was harassing them with her taekwando moves that she learned in her self defense class which she  decided to take on shinyu's insistence because according to him he cannot come to save her 24/7 since she has a knack for running into trouble while solving complaints.

At some point when she starts to shows off her taekwando moves he starts to zone out. Because how can he not his wife looks so sexy rn  that all he wants to do is kiss her senseless and love her.

Hong jo notices that he is not giving her the regular "hmm's" he always give and stops and gets angry at him for not listening to her(though she knows that look he was given her before but she just wants to tease him)

Shinyu as a devoted husband should quickly follows with a sorry and insists that he did listen to her. So hongjo asks him to recite the whole story and he does every single word perfectly given his eidetic memory. And now it is Hong jo who gets turned on because of her big brained husband but she is not shinyu who would wait, she pounces on him in the middle of his babbling and thats how their day ends with happiness, giggles and  passionate love making.

#it is my first time to write an au #because i love them so much #and i wanted more of their fluffy romance #so this is how i compensate it #sorry for the typos #destined with you #jang shin yu #lee hong jo #shinyu×hongjo #my writing is kinda messy since i have been never good at it but i hope it will do

[palepersonaturtle]

Rewatching some scenes of Shinyu and Hongjo and i have to say their realtionship progression after they started dating in ep 11 is so well written i mean yes it is not perfect but it is near perfect for me.

Especially the fact that it is not only that they are in love with each other but there is desire/passion(sexual) in between them which is expressed not only by their actions but also by their words which imo many kdramas lack in that part. And i am glad that the writers didnt shy away in showing us the sexual tension between the couple in their realtionship.

And it is right from ep4 okay when shinyu was like "if it is not kiss that can break the curse then is it...?" Shinyu was down bad horny okay.

One more example is that noncon kiss in ep7. I mean yes that was problematic and he deserved to be punched. But he was eager to show his feelings and desire to hongjo and wanted to know how she felt about him. Also his imaginary kiss and bed scene

And most importantly this desire was mutual. Hongjo was attracted to him too. She very much gave into that kiss in ep6 but alas shinyu slept. She was frustrated. The next day she is like "you were terrible at it"

And it gets more interesting when start dating

They are comfortable enough to sleep in the same bed the same night they get into relationship. Hong jo very much wanted to be with him you can see how she was frustrated when he didnt come to her room. Also love the way Shinyu was testing the waters with the whole "if you say another word i wont stay still..." dialogue. See she was shy but not scared of it.

And throughout ep11 and ep12 we can see that their is a mutual sexual tension between them. Also i love how Hong jo is able to show her desire too. She actively asks kisses from him, tries to seduce him in his office which shows that being single all through her doesnt mean she has to be naive in the physical intimacy part of their relationship. Yes as her first time in a relationship she gets shy and giddy but she has desires and she is very much aware about it too.

About, their breakup, i know people were like there comes the noble idiocy of ep13 but i actually enjoyed it. It is the way they showcased their longing for each other. Particularly, when shinyu gets drunk. It is the way he hugged her, nuzzled into her neck and smelled her. He not only missed her emotionally but also missed their hugs and kisses. And same for hong jo too that little smile she gives before being sad again and the way she gave into that hug. She indulges him not only for him but also for herself.

And so for me their reunion was much more sweeter and earned because the curse is gone now the main barrier between their relationship.

That spiderman kiss on the couch. Many people are like hong jo got shy. But i personally felt that she (and him too btw) actually was so turned on at that point that if she hadnt stopped it would have escalated into some thing more and which wasnt good for shinyu since he was injured. Same when they were sleeping together, look at the way hong jo is smiling and shinyu's gaze lingers on her lips.

Now on to the main lovemaking scene. That was planned mutually by them okay i mean not verbally but they both knew what was gonna happen and they both wanted it. Their phone conversation says it all. Also the way he was like "take your time to change" and then she comes wearing his white shirt when could have wore any comfortable tshirt of his. They didnt knew it was gonna happen right at that moment but tgey knew they knew that this was the night. And i loved that because it was consensual and it wasnt just heat of the moment. It felt very much earned and sweeter.

And throughout ep16 we can see that how much they both enjoy the physical intimacy and are pretty much normal about it now. Him saying that he cannot sleep w/o her. She jumping on him taking charge. It all feels natural with them

Lastly, it also shows the contrast with the relationship shinyu had with nayeon. You see he never felt any attraction towards her that he never felt the need to even hold her hands.

#this got very long #had to say it because this was something new that i felt in a kdrama #also because i think love and desire can coexist and that there is no need to shy away about it #shinyu x hongjo #they are soft chaotic cute they are simps losers down bad for e/o but they are also sexy and passionate #they are so couple coded #jang shin yu #lee hong jo #destined with you #sorry for the typos

"Meri kismat ke har ek panne pe

Mere jeete ji, baad marne ke

Mere har ek kal har ek lamhe mein

Tu likh de mera use

Zindagani ke saare hisson mein

Tu likh de mera use

Aye Khuda, aye Khuda, jab bana uska hi bana"

"on every page of my fate,

during my life, after my death,

in all my future, in all my moments,

you write her to be mine..

in all stories and fables,

in the true relations of the heart's world,

in all parts of life,

you write her to be mine..

O God, whenever you make me, make me hers.."

This song if you listen in the native language and understand it.... It's JUST HITS DIFFERENT AND NOW WITH THEM😭😭😭
