Little Black Dress (2011)
Nothing else in this movie touched me especially so.
Probably because it didn’t seem particularly organic, a lack of effective music, haphazard scenes put together and actresses, who had excellent acting chops, but didn’t seem to have real chemistry between them to establish real camaraderie.
But this scene. This scene ripped my heart to little pieces.
Heaven knows how many times a warm lap, a soft touch on my head, a good cry, holding onto my mother’s legs has been the most comforting thing in the world.

Song: The Sunlight Hurts (햇살이 아파)
——————————————-
The sun hurts, the road that I walked with you hurts,
The song that grazed my ears hurts,
Unknowingly, my tears keep flowing while I was walking.
If I had loved you more,
If I had opened up my heart first,
Would we be different now?
If you are still alone,
If you would allow me,
Can we still love each other like last time?
It hurts that you’re far away from my eyes,
It’s always on my mind.
The sun hurts, the road that I walked with you hurts,
The song that grazed my ears hurts,
Unknowingly, my tears flow while I walk,
My heart hurts, the time I spent with you, it hurts
The days without you hurts,
The more I love you the more it hurts,
I’ll will always remember that(end)
If I had loved you as much as I love you now,
would we be different now?
If I were to call you now and say that I miss you, can we still love each other like last time?
It hurts that you’re far away from my eyes,
It’s always on my mind.
Even if you let go of your heart as time passes,
I will keep running back to your love.
The sun hurts, the road that I walked with you hurts,
The song that grazed my ears hurts,
Unknowingly, my tears flow while I walk,
The wind hurts,
The sea that we watched together hurts,
The waves that look like you, it hurts,
The more I love you the more it hurts,
It washes over endlessly.

Color of Woman — Thoughts
Watching Color of Woman reminds me time and again why I love second male leads. They’re generally the passive sweethearts who act as the unofficial bodyguards of the heroine. This passes for me in certain dramas and completely overwhelms me in others. In some cases, the puppy love is so adorable, in others too syrupy. But most times, I drop the drama because of plot complications which involve dropping Second Male Leads. And is it me or are most second male leads cuter than the heroes?
It’s not like I’m always a SMLS (second male lead syndrome) fangirl, though. For example, it didn’t fly for me in I Need Romance (although who was the second lead in that drama is debatable) because his personality suddenly became demanding, expecting the heroine to “educate” herself in many ways to really, in essence, become a trophy wife. Which is why I supported the heroine’s eventual return to her ex.
Not to mention, he was so passive in the entrance episodes that I could hardly tell he was interested until he confessed. Brick wall, that.
In Color of Woman however, I find the second lead Kang Chan-jin such a relief and crap, amazing. He’s not a typical romantic sap who just hides in the background as a forever second. Most second leads hint to the heroine and leave obvious clues in their actions to let them discover their feelings but never man up to actually confess (and when they do, it’s too damn late).
He has his strengths and is first and foremost acting as best friend. He has discovered feelings for Sora, but understands he is not a priority in love for her and thus is dealing with his own feelings as such. He fights for her actively, lets her know he’s there for her and loves her, but does not overstep his boundaries as a friend in order to protect her very unstable, fragile relationship with his best friend/almost-brother (or very possibly actual… half/step brother? We’ll have to see how this drama rolls).
I also have a major soft spot for Byun Sora. She kills me as a heroine. I love her pluckiness and naivete. She’s not an idiot, because she has her own method of dealing with life and reality. She has specific rules she cannot overstep and she has her own insecurities (although thank God, they never stray into overacting like Taiwanese dramas are wont to do to their heroes/heroines).
She is one of my favorite standalone heroines and it’s especially in these cases that I really am rooting for the heroine to find her right Mr. Right (whoof, that was a mouthful). In that case, who wouldn’t want her to end up with her 10-year-long best friend EVER who also happens to live next door, is super cute and sheesh, is so thoughtful, loving, and freakin’ perfect???
I also never did like Jae Hee the actor. I don’t see his appeal.
Please, CoW writers, PLEASE make Sora end up with Chanjin. Or I may lose hope in your industry <3
