Sibcest in kdramas - I will never mock thee again.

With me having watched Dal Ja's Spring the last few days and the question of half-sibling-cest was brought up jokingly with the male lead telling his OTP she had watched too many doramas LOL. I was laughing out loud when this was brought up because it is a running gag among some of my flisters.

Well I will never mock and snigger this cliche in kdramas ever again ... in the UK binovular twins seperated at birth and brought up independantly indeed married each other without knowing they were indeed twins -> The Guardian Unlimited Online.

Which reminds me I want to watch Boku no imoto ni koi wa sukure (I'm in my love with my little sister) and Temptation of Wolves again.

I have heard of this - how tragic! Poor guys, I imagine that these revelations must have broken their life.

Yeah ... one moment you think you have found the love of your life and the next it turns out it is your brother or sister. I feel for them. Hopefully there wasn't a little one on the way.

Yeah ... and the built up was excellent - I mean after seeing that photo of a young Jung Jung Ae in Tae Bong's father's hands didn't think of a possible *we might be half-siblings* plot :D
I really loved them spoofing a lot of recent dramas, from Damo to Capital Scandal!

In Germany there was an actual sibling-couple (didn't grow up together, though) who wanted incest to be legalized for adults..

Yeah I remember. They didn't grow up together till their early teens both and then somehow knew they are half-siblings and still got together and had kids. They are both now locked away in pshychiatric wards in different prisons. The only good thing about it is that apparently the two children (they have a four or five year old and another baby on its way).

Boku no imoto ni koi wa sukure is just OK for me. It was rather slow, in fact. Matsujun was very pretty, but other than that it was just.. hmm.. plain. But I should do a re-watch of Temptation of Wolves :D
