Asian Drama of the Week 5
This week's post is a day late but I had to post it this week! I wasn't letting procrastination get the best of me. This week's Asian Drama of the Week for me is.....I loved Eun-Hye in Coffee Prince so it's what fuelled me to watch this show. I'm probably boasting this show a lot more than I should but I really enjoyed it. It's always on my list of recommendation. Yeah Eun-Hye's character lies a lot and it kind of rolls into something messy but I think she plays the character quite well and the character wasn't over done.I also liked the chemistry between the two characters. The scene that I remember to this day (because I watched this closer to when it came out) is the coke scene. There's no subtitles on this clip so if you don't understand it... it's not a spoiler in my opinion but watch at your discretion.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y5XVICrmrs&w=420&h=315]Why I love this so much was that this show was one of the first few dramas that I had ever started watching so I was really used to those Korean "ppoppo" kind of kisses. (Which is a peck... but in Kdrama... more like their lips touch and nothing else which looks so awkward half the time.) So this show had like REAL kisses that came practically out of nowhere, so imagine how surprised I was when watching it.I also believe this was my first encounter of Sung Joon and where I became a fan of him. I didn't expect his voice to be the way it was at the age he was during the show and he is quite witty to a point where I think he is like that in real life. I am pretty sure that I had second lead syndrome in this show.This show is a good show to watch if you are not looking for something with action or seriousness. This was just a feel good drama to get good laughs out of.Have you watched this? What are your thoughts on it?Synopsis:"A woman in her late 20's is always asked "when are you going to get married?"
