So my current obsession is this Korean drama which just started airing on Channel U last Thursday. Della and I went out the next day and bought the series because we were too impatient to wait for the story to slowly unfold. And Sazryna and I created our personal bests. We went on a 16-hour DVD watching frenzy. It started about 10 plus pm last Friday and ended at 4 pm Saturday!
The show's great. I dare say it's the best I've watched so far. None of the sappy, bitchy, tragic ingredients that make up most of the genre. (No insults intended here) I think the beauty of it is its realism, embodied in the female lead Sam-Soon. The three of us could so relate to her problems, anxieties and worries. We admire her spunk and strength. She's identifiable. And of course we all want a Jin-Hun a.k.a. Sam-Shik. The aloof guy who's different when he's with you. The guy who gets on your nerves. The guy who laughs at and with you. The guy who's possessive of you. And Hyun-Bin carried off the role so well. Their chemistry was spot on (despite them being 7 years apart in age in real life). And of course I have to mention that this 24 year old guy is sweetly gorgeous with a dazzling smile and dimples that tease. Love his voice and the way he touches his nose when he laughs.
Sigh my reel-life infatuations go on.
Still waiting for the day when someone says 'Saranghe yo' to me.
Still breathing.
