Things Dudes Don't Do to Other Dudes (#tdddod) or How to Fail the Gender Benders

So, Lizabreff just finished watching To The Beautiful You.  I'm not sure why we started it.  I think we just needed to watch something stupid, so this was perfect, because it was completely stupid.  The thing that it was the worst at was the whole girl dressed up as a guy.

I mean, there is no way that Sulli would pass for a boy ever anyway.  But she didn't even try to act like one.  And from the start Hyun Woo didn't treat her like one... neither did Minho for that matter... instinct?  Cough cough, unlikely.  Anyway, we started this hashtag #tdddod for all those moments when they obviously treated her like a girl, or she obviously was 100% not acting like a dude and no one seemed to care, because it was that bad.

199. To The Beautiful You 아름다운 그대에게 (2012) Korean

Choi Min Ho, Sulli, Lee Hyun Woo, Kin Ji Won, Seo Jun Young, Kang Ha Neul, Hwang Kwang Hee

Drama Rating: 4/10     Neck Score: A

Also known as Poobutt.  Mostly because my new nickname for Minho is now Poobutt.  Tae Joon was just a grumpy poo butt, and then he was an awkward poo butt after he started to like her.  Also Goo Jae Hee had no character.  She was just awkward and there.  I wondered why the couple was so awkward for me, and it was because Sulli can't act.  You know who can act and stole the show?  Lee Hyun Woo.  I absolutely loved him, and his adorable smile and his squeaky little voice.  He totally stole the show.  Like, completely.  In fact he and Kang Ha Neul (affectionately called Moobs) were the only kids who could act really, oh and Samcheon (Seo Jun Young).  It was just a completely ridiculous show that was fun to watch at first because it was so flipping ridiculous, but then when it got mopey in the last 6 episodes, it was so boring and lame it was almost completely unbearable.  Maybe because once everyone knew she was a girl we couldn't do any more tweets with the hashtag #tdddod (things dudes don't do to other dudes).  There were almost too many to tweet all of them.  It was ridiculous.  Basically she was never convincing as a dude.  When they finally got around to it there were some good bromances.  I missed that little bitca Kwanghee being gay for Hyun Woo.  He totally disappeared by the end.  Weird.  Also I liked all the teachers.  I mean, that hot doctor (Ki Tae Young).  And my OTP was the teacher and coach.  They were adorable.  Basically I loved all the side characters and thought the main couple was a pair of boring poo butts... who can't really act.  And.... yeah.  That's basically it.

188. Moorim School 무림학교 (2016) Korean

Lee Hyun Woo, Lee Hong Bin, Seo Yi Ji, Jung Yoo Jin

I think the thing I said most while watching this show was: "What is this drivel?"  This show was nothing but a bunch of pretentious crap.  It was basically a CW show.  It tries so hard to be cool and instead it just looks ridiculous.  I felt so bad for those actors who were actually good.  I wondered how they felt being in such a crappy show.  You know who I'm talking about.  Lee Beom Soo and Shin Hyun Joon.  Why would they ever accept a role in such a lame show?  I even felt sorry for some of the kids who I know can do better if they have a better script and direction.  Like Lee Hyun Woo or Jung Yoo Jin.  Well, actually Jung Yoo Jin was the only kid I actually cared about.  Because of that I wanted her and Hong Bin to be happy together.  I think in terms of actual character growth and development, Hong Bin's character was the most interesting... and frustrating.  Everyone else was kind of boring.  Well, the entire script and plot was just lame crap anyway, so that's not saying much.  And with Hong Bin's acting abilities still being baby, there was plenty of ridiculousness.  Also, I don't even know what to say about how bad the martial arts were.  If they were going to do a show about a martial arts school, could they have please just hired martial artists to do those parts, if not the whole show?  Everything made me cringe and laugh because it was so bad.  Especially the teachers.  Most of them just came off as pretentious losers.  Boy this show was lame and boring.  I couldn't even pretend to care.  The only time I enjoyed watching it was as I was mocking it profusely.  Then at least I had something to laugh about.  But then the ending was so cheesy that it made me want to barf even as I laughed.  So it was boring, boring, barf cheesy!

145. Oh! My Lady 오! 마이 레이디 (2010) Korean

Chae Rim, Choi Siwon, Lee Hyun Woo, Moon Jung Hee, Park Han Byul

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A+

Omo, Siwon, you bias crusher!  Seriously!  He's just so completely sexy, adorable... everything!  This is a perfectly likable drama because you've got a completely likable and relatable lead, who has super ahjumma powers, and you've got Siwon, one of the sexiest peeps ever.  It's not so much a romance as it is a story about an immature star maturing and becoming a responsible, adorable dad with the help of the best ahjumma ever.  She's confident, quirky, big hearted, not afraid to stand up for herself, and generally just awesome, even if her character was pretty static.  At least she started out at a good point.  Also, that little girl was so cute.  Siwon's kids are totes going to be that adorable.  The end was a little weird.  I think they just kind of derped out trying to finish it.  Since the romance wasn't that strong to begin with, it was a bit blase at the end.  Still good though.  But the other dude.  Boo.  I didn't like him because he was all over the place.  Super self-righteous, prideful, cold and then suddenly good with kids and a nice person/busy body?  Can't keep it together with his wife but will bend over backwards to protect a random ahjumma that he randomly took a liking to?  Wut?  Whatever.  He was annoying, not because he was a bad guy, but because his character made no sense.  Also he was married, and he and his wife were the most frustrating couple in this.  Park Han Byul is the queen bitca.  I seriously think she is the best at playing bitcas because she is so hatable in every role.  Slow clap for her?  Anyways, to the important part.  Siwon's abs, Siwon's smile, Siwon + cutest little girl ever, Siwon's eyebrows, Siwon's decent acting.  This show was good.  Chae Rim was awesome.  Siwon was sexy awesome.  The end.
