The Problematic of the Unproblematic

Surplus Princess ends as crazily as it started. Although not as pervy, which makes our kokos sad. You know what else makes our kokos sad? No? JoAnne: I can only speak for my own koko, Mary. Although I really prefer not to even do that. becca: I have very mixed feelings about this ending. But yes, most of them are sad. And if they're not sad, they're cranky. kakashi: It's finally Oooooooooover! *does happyhappy dance*

It's the second to the last episode. Will Pervy get her fun sekshi times? With whom? Or will she really vanish into pink bubbles of vanishment?! good riddance! (guess who that was) Did I ever stop to admire the cute animated sequence where they display the episode's title? JoAnne: Nope. You were always chasing dat ass. becca: Not that anyone blames you. An apple butt like that is worth chasing.

Lots of stuff get cleared up in this episode. Which is good, because we only have 2 episodes left. Chop-chop, Show! kakashi: Now you see me ... and now you don't *poof* (Anyway, this is one of the better episodes) Mary: kakashi is baaaaaaack! Come give her a hug, koko! JoAnne: If you're not coming back I'm taking back my color! You can be gold if it's just one comment. becca: I hope kakashi realizes that she's leaving the maknaes at the mercy of JoAnne. Who will protect us from the jeobbing? Mary: Save yourself, dongsaeng. I'm 100% jeobbed.

Mary: 난슬픈... JoAnne: I can't see any of the pictures. I don't know why. kakashi: Maybe ... you're being punished for something? 

Mary: I'm so sad. JoAnne: *patpatpat* NOT you, KoKo. kakashi: I don't remember anything about this episode. I'm glad you'll trigger my memory. EPISODE 6 It's The End of The World (How apt) Hani answers her call, but it's Ahn Ma-nyeo on the other side, asking for news. She scolds him for possibly hogging her signal and ends the call, still waiting for Shi-kyung. JoAnne: You know, she spent so much time watching dramas, I don't know why she doesn't realize that the best thing to do when you're waiting for someone to call is just to go out, randomly, and pick a place, because you're sure to run into them there. kakashi: Oh, but only if unmyeong, the big fucker, is on your side. becca: Hey, it's worked for her before.

Hello again! I'm dropping by from the land of Much Busy, Very Work to hack a little bit at this crazy Mermaid drama. Y'know, the one that got cut down to 10 episodes . That means the last one airs on October 9! Can tvN manage to wrap up everything by then? becca: Yes! No! Maybe?? JoAnne: Well sure. A meteor could drop on them all and kill everyone. Boom. End of drama. kakashi: I'm sure they'll wrap up but I'm also sure it will be an opportunity to have ragefits.& (Note re: We Got Married . Yes, we're going to cap it! kakashi, Enabler of Squees, has started the RimKimJeobs so it should be up soon. Well, as soon as we finish commenting. Hehe. She's already finished it . ^^ Thanks, kakashi! (You're welcome. It had to happen) Oh, and we're still doing YNS recaps too, in case any YNS-lovers are reading this and waiting for news too.) So just as a refresher, Episode 4 ends with Jin-ah telling everyone to go ahead and try getting into ...

Pervy Mermy gets a couple more allies in her quest to be close to Rim! But is it enough? It seems to me that in this universe, EVERYONE is looking for a jeob. Err... job. JoAnne: I prefer to think of it as Second getting a jeob. Job. Because I'm all positive like that. No other meaning. None at all. kakashi: Please give everybody a joeb-Job. Joeb-less people are so sad.   becca: I just want food. Sheppu-nim! Please feed us! Anyway, I'm just glad she's still pervy as ever. It just makes jeobbing so much easier. becca: This show literally jeobs itself!

I think I found a way to enjoy this drama: First, I must accept that Rim is NOT the lead and just appreciate how Ohn Joo Wan is killing it as the sincere, horny Puppy who will teach our Mermaid how to be "human". And second, I must treat this as another Age of Feeling where Song Jae Rim shows up randomly, does random shit on the screen, does weird stuff to my kokoro, and leaves as quickly as he came. becca: I'm glad you've come to terms with it. As for me, I only get more confused with each episode. JoAnne: Mostly I'm just confused by the way I ended up liking the Gamer Guy because I figured I wouldn't pay any attention to him at all, but he's holding his own with Big and Second. Not in the same way, of course. Rim is in this? kakashi: Yeah, he is that puffy white thing that reminds me of pastry. I think.   This way I can enjoy both the story AND Rim! Let's try it in this 3rd Jeob, shall we?  JoAnne: But Kim Seul Gi now, she ROCKS. kak...

Bad news, Squeeglets. There is too much hate for some characters and not enough Rim to jeob this whole episode. Thus, we are extending the jeobbing to all puppies. Rim, Big, or Very Big. (Wait-- why is that bad news again?) kakashi: My sentiments exactly. You know what? I don't like this show. Not at all. JoAnne: I like it, but I get you.The problem is it's not BAD like Paris but it's weird like Paris, so it feels...slippery. I don't know.Hard to settle in to. I think that's part of the one episode thing, too. becca: It does make it harder to get invested, but the show itself is just weird, too. I like it, though. We get to know more about Ahn Ma Nyeo, our Share House Family, and Pervy Mermaid in this episode. Though in her case, what you see isn't very likable... let's hope the show fixes that soon. kakashi: One of the main reasons I don't like this show is her. She is horrible. All the more horrible for not knowing she is horrible - if that mak...

I'm gonna need your help on this one, chingus. Surplus Princess has premiered to fantastic reviews from my drama circle. [And by fantastic, I mean "LOL Mary you HAVE to see this", "Hey Mary that mermaid is crazy like you", "Your Rim looks good here Mary" -- stuff like that.] kakashi: Yes, it is well established that you may either watch this drama for the Rim or watch this drama to torment mary. I, personally, watch it for the Rim. Which means: I fast forward to all the Rim scenes. JoAnne: I am quite certain that I will have my cake and eat it, too. becca: I would've watched this show even if Rim wasn't  in it. He's the icing on the cake. It's a punny show with lots of pop-culture references, but I don't understand all the jokes *scratches head* Eh. We all know I'm just here for the RimJeob! If I miss some puns or jokes, please feel free to point it out! Thank you very kamsa! kakashi: Errr, jokes? Shit. Maybe the fa...

This is it. The final Jeob. The main reason we're calling it WTFParis. Sex ghosts and nail-diagnosed depression ain't got nothing on the WTFery of this hour. Prepare to say goodbye to the Handjob Harem, Our Lovely Kei, and your sanity... JoAnne: I didn't even recognize Thunder (Jin) without his pink hair. kakashi: WTF, seriously. It's by far the MOST WTF show I've ever watched. Thank you mary for making me.  (Warning: This Jeob contains a ton of gifs.) (If you can see this warning, you have no issues with size of this post anyway)

It's the second to the last Jeob, which means second in terms of annoyances and WTFery. The writers continue to jerk us around by making Kei do BOTH the usual first and second lead clinginess and idiocy. It's very effective though, because this is the 9th episode and we still don't know who the fook Bunny ends up with. *cradles kokoro* "Ssssh... ssshhh... kwaenchanha... kwaenchanha... uri kokoro-ya" JoAnne: Now that I know I'm not the only one who knows both the actual and slang uses for kokoro - which I really didn't know, I just thought it sounded like it SHOULD be, that's me, tied right into the pulse of raunch, yes ma'am - anyway, I find Mary a little...disturbing. RANDOM RIM PIC ATTACK!!!

We are nearing the end, which means more paaaaaain for our cast and kokoros. Prepare to be jerked around by the roller-coaster of squeeing and rage in this 8th Jeob. (And hold tight to that Kei-cat in your kokoro. You'll need it for the tough times ahead.) JoAnne: With all this kokoro holding I have realized I need to be more flexible. You know, as a responsible KDrama watcher. kakashi: Ladies, I have something to tell you ... EPISODE 8

YOU LADIES, SONG JAE RIM HAS A DRAMA. An honest-to-goodness, real drama where he is part of the main trio and not just a random guy getting beaten up in Episode 1 (thanks, Big Man) and not a side character, bartender-time-keeper-angel (thanks, Secret Love). The working title for his drama is 잉여공주 (ingyeo gongjeu) literal translation is Surplus Princess which is a pun on 인어공주 (ineo gongjeu) or The Mermaid. kakashi: Yes, mary. He might even be the lead? JoAnne: So he's the mermaid? Or the princess or whatever? Starring Song Jae Rim, Ohn Joo Wan, and Jo Boa the story is a parody/mature take on The Little Mermaid. This time, the mermaid must find a real job within 100 days to become completely human. O.o sounds WTF and fun . Surplus Princess will be on cable (expect kisses!) tvN, to be exact (expect awesomeness!) and by SNL Korea's production team (expect fun!) The drama will take over Rude Miss Young Ae Season 13 timeslot every Thursday 11 PM. (Wow... that intro sound...

Hi Squeeglets! I'm back like Song Jae Rim! Meaning, I come back for one measly cameo then disappear for a long time, then pop-up again for one episode in a mini-series . *grumble grumble* But hey, let's not look a gift horse in the mouth! Unless horse = Song Jae Rim and look = kiss. kakashi: mary is back, mary is back, maaaaary is backbackback! JoAnne: I should go away for a while. Look how happy she is. AND she's wearing my color. Before we start, check out the trailer for KARA's mini-series Secret Love , where Song Jae Rim seems to be playing some bartender-cum-time-travel-angel (Yes, JoAnne) who gives Seung Yeon a chance to go back and change her dead boyfriend's past. kakashi: Hahahahaaaa, awesome. Will you squeecap it? You should. JoAnne: What? That's totally the correct usage for that latin term. I am not giggling.

Hola, Squeeglets! I'm back! (I hope...) We all miss Rim on our screens so let's get on this RimJeob while waiting for more casting news, ohkei? *staring daggers at SM C&C* kakashi: *suspicious* What does that stand for?! I hope they did not forget the "&" between the S and the M... seems dodgy. It's his agency. Oppa's agency , ohkei? *eyeing kakashi* JoAnne: Aren't they the ones that people joke keep trainees in the basement? For lakaribane, who fangirls over Oppa's thumb

Hola Squeeglets! Sorry for the delay... (yeah, we all know what you have been doing in the meantime ....) Last week marked the end of Age of Feeling and I got caught up in my grief, mourning the loss of new My Il Hwa pics every week. But I'm back now! Partly because this will be our only source of Rim in the foreseeable future. *cries* Oh, and a big thanks to the lovely enablers RimBuggers who commented on Jeob Ep3 and gave us the license to squee endlessly. You are awesome. Song Jae Rim approves! kakashi: Yeah, where's that casting news?! Aoki has already secured his next project. Just saying, Rimmie, hurry up! JoAnne: Now, wait...I'm all for getting Song Jae Rim back on my screen but you can't exactly rush a Rimjeob.

Looks like I spoke too soon. This episode adds horror to the genre-soup that is WTFParis via Rapist Ghost. Then Show jerks us back around by giving drunk confrontations and accidental kisses. WTFParis? WHY?! I swear this show is going to kill us, but do we care? No! *sigh*  The things we do for Song Jae Rim... JoAnne: And the things we'd like to do...sadly, in the Venn Diagram of my life, there is no overlap between these two things. kakashi: Oh yeah. Here's a story for you, a true one. I was teaching in Budapest this week - 26 great students, really good interactions, very full days, etc. They are doing a group assignment, I take a deep breath, check twitter on my computer and open the blog. I do that a lot and really didn't think about it. My Twitter timeline is FULL OF Song Jae-rim quasi naked, from all sides (thanks to mary, really)  (you're welcome) . The blog? The same. I have my very quick reflexes to thank and  only  them that I realized just in time ...

Dear kakashi and JoAnne, I regret to inform you that Alex is still very much alive and conscious in this hour, despite your fervent wish to see him in a 9-episode coma (or not see him at all). On the plus side: we get Kei in a trenchcoat, Kei hanging out with a cute kid, and Kei being angsty -- because Why The Fuck Not Paris knows where its strengths lie. I hope this encourages your continued participation in our SongJaeRimJob. Sincerely, Mary

Mary: Hello fellow squeeglets! Mary here, dropping by for a quick Song Jae Rim Job aka Nail Shop Paris Squeecaps . This drama was called #WTFParis on my side of the Twitterverse so I ignored it... until Mo Il Hwa almost died last week and I was desperate to see something, anything with Song Jae Rim in it. Thankfully, the show is a cute, funny watch despite the ugly nickname someone gave it *eyes JoAnne* JoAnne: Umm, hello...I believe that back then I was live tweeting encouragement to watch and going on OT to say listen, it's crazy, but you have to see it, it's weirdly good. I got a lot of people to watch it! kakashi: Hello! I'll be joining you! You seriously made me watch this mess with all your squeeing!!!! Plus, I'm a complete goner. Mary made me fall in love with Song Jae-rim and now, my heart flutters when I see him or when I hear about him. Thanks. Mary: Hehe I know that now , but outsiders who are new to this and see it being called #WTFParis think th...
