Morse's relationship with Rosalind Calloway was very special. He says something like he didn't know what beauty was until he heard her voice somewhere. The lonely clever & sensitive boy whose mother had died and who lived with a probably never speaking father and a too-much-speaking step mother... So to him Rosalind became something ideally motherly & angelic. When he meets his idol he is drawn to her on all sorts of levels. Until the end...

This was such a strong opening.

Wow! it's so cool to find out that there is an active fandom for the show you've just discovered!!!

I have recently started to watch Turn: Washington's spies (with season 2 - not very clever probably) and I'm not sure yet where it's going (dramatically not history-wise obviously)... Also I'm not a native speaker and still trying to figure out who is an ally/ a spy/ a counterspy /... and so on 😅.

But I think it's really good & I enjoy a lot of the characters! (Especially one Major Andre perhaps... )

That moment...

in ‘Confection’ when you realise an outtake was actually an edit point!

One of my favourite Masterpiece PBS behind the scenes features for Season 6 was 'Endeavour, Season 6: The Cast on Shaun Evans as Director' [x], mostly because of all the outtakes where Shaun is flashing that fantastic smile!

At about the 1min 20sec mark, there's a wonderful outtake from 'Confection' when Shaun looks at Anton Lesser and breaks up. If you run the outtake directly after the actual scene, however...

...the frames matched exactly!

How lovely to think that at the end of any given scene, no matter how dark, that they all could have laughed! In this scene DeBryn is telling Bright and Endeavour about the bullet that killed Fancy!

This knowledge might just get me through the toughest scenes. And also the Morsetache, of course.

I'm still thinking about that deleted scene of Joan touching the side of Morse's face and him putting his hand over hers.

It reminds me of the end of Coda when she gently brushes her thumb across his wound, and he instinctively holds on to her. I love that moment because it showed a loving side of Joan which was reminiscent of Monica and demonstrated she was Win's daughter as much as Thursday's. You could totally see why Morse fell for her.

I realized Joan kind of lost that side of her in the rest of the series. The closest which comes to mind is her silent kiss with her hand in Harvest.

I feel like it would've been really lovely to see that parallel of her being able to look past all the bullshit for a minute and let Morse know how much she cares for him. I think it would've gone a long way in explaining why he could never get over her.

#omg. the look on his face is heartbreaking #and so superbly acted!#endeavour itv #endeavour morse #shaun evans #I think their relationship wasn't a very coherent part in the series in terms of storytelling & character development...#... so I'll just be silent on that part 😉

An amazing thing in Lockwood & Co (more so in the books probably) is that it's kids who have to save everyone from the ghosts. Bc they are the only ones who can see them. But that doesn't give them any power or superior position in their world! No cool fantasy heroes... They are as dependent on adults as in our world & exploited like children invented by Charles Dickens.

Jonathan Stroud is a genius.

Awww, this list is so good 😻

There's also:

Rich nerdy young boss (ml) and hard-working nice young employee (fl) fall in love...

... while at least one of them mistakes the other one's identity

... or they only pretend to be a couple

childhood trauma connected to heavy rain / car crash

There is also a serious lack of mothers

(And: enormous massaging seats in the background)

My sources of research are: king the land, business proposal, she was pretty, love to hate you. (...maybe it's not tropes but just my pattern 😅)

I started watching Kdramas this year and I do a lot of literature analysis in my normal life, so I found it really fun to find the tropes that were unique to this genre/culture that were different than what I find in Hollywood TV/movies and novels. I started with Alchemy of Souls and I was kind of amused looking back, because I never thought the SML had a chance with the FL but if I had known how strong the "they met as children and therefore DESTINY" trope is, I probably would have thought they would get together for sure!

Here are some of the unique tropes I've noticed:

-Leads meet as children and therefore DESTINY (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, 100 Days My Prince, It's Okay to Not be Okay, Castaway Diva, The King's Affection, Sh**ting Stars, Destined with You, subverted in Alchemy of Souls)

-Reincarnation, which happens a ton but of course for the same reason Western media is littered with Chosen One/Saviour plots (played with in Alchemy of Souls and Extraordinary You, straight in Destined with You, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Moon in the Day, My Demon, The Story of Park's Marriage Contract... so many)

-Guy (usually) buys the girl shoes and then puts them on her. They also usually make a joke about her running away. (Tale of the Nine Tailed, 100 Days My Prince, Extraordinary You, Castaway Diva, King the Land, subverted in The King's Affection and The Forbidden Marriage)

-Guy (usually) gives/brings the girl an umbrella to protect her from the rain. I LOVE THIS TROPE, symbolism for protection and shelter gets me (straight in My Lovely Liar, King the Land, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, subverted/played with in Alchemy of Souls, Business Proposal, Doom at Your Service, Castaway Diva)

-Not sure if this would count as a trope, but unique to the genre because we don't have formal speech in English and especially not in Canada where I live (we've basically started just going first name with everyone) I love it so much when the main characters use informal terms with each other for the first time. The subtitles don't always translate this well, but I know what the honorifics sound like and I'm all, "She didn't use "Mr." that time it's serious now!!!"

Anyway, are there more? I'm probably not catching them all!

Edit: Definitely some sort of trope around characters finding wild ginseng to solve a problem.

(I've only been watching Korean dramas by the way, I'm sure some of these tropes are shared by other dramas from China and Thailand. I just found the comparison with English language TV interesting.)

I'm to retire. D.C.I. Thursday's with Carshall. Now I hear Strange is to be seconded to Kidlington. Yes, sir. What of your own future? Well, I suppose I'm undecided sir.
