(On Ep 8)
Not close to being an amazing drama at all, but it's great for the purpose of cheering yourself up on a gloomy day. All the characters are so cute in the drama, although the things they do sometimes are so dumb that they annoy me.
I've noticed how in this drama, some things might seem a little unrealistic. Take for example, how Jae Hee so easily accustomed to the new environment around her. There are so many factors that could have led her to having some sort of trouble accustoming to the new lifestyle, yet her struggles to do so weren't shown much in the drama. I'm assuming this is either because it wasn't really shown in the manga, or the writer was too eager to speed up the development of the love line between Jae Hee and Tae Joon. Again, the development of the love line was pretty quick in the beginning - I know Tae Joon never showed any feelings akin to hatred for for Jae Hee, but I feel like he started being nice to her a little too early (e.g. Ep 1 - Jae Hee passes out in the middle of PE class, and Tae Joon's the one to rush over to her and carry her to the infirmary. Uh, what? Didn't you just push her hard on purpose earlier during the game?) He opened up to her before Jae Hee did anything much, so...yeah. Loopholes here and there, but you can't expect those to not appear in a drama like this.
Oh, and shameless advertising of SM artists' songs in the background...I know SM has some sort of control over the drama, but it still bothers me. I almost laughed out loud when EXO appeared...their song didn't match the celebrating atmosphere at all. Like, if you're gonna promote your artists' songs and all, please don't do it so often that it makes it extremely obvious that you're desperate to advertise everything you own? Sigh. Oh, and SM loves using their 360 degree filming technique way too much.
The Thousandth Man
(On Ep 3)
I feel like I'm taking a huge break from intense dramas by taking on two light hearted dramas at the same time. This drama is not exactly good for cheering yourself up, because it's kinda boring and not particularly cheery.
It would help if the characters were at least a little bit lovable, but a few of them annoy me, others are boring, and the only ones that interest me are Mi Jin and Eung Seok. Mi Jin seems cute and innocent, and Eung Seok seems like a nice guy who manages a really damn fancy restaurant. What I don't like is that they've already met each other in the past as different individuals...are we gonna have the we-were-in-a-relationship-in-the-past-but-it-ended-tragically-so-we're-gonna-fall-in-love-all-over-again-now kind of thing, drama? Okay then, if you insist...
It's nice to see one of the actresses from Ojakgyo Brothers here, but I can't help but cringe whenever she talks. I don't know, I just don't really like her character very much. Same goes for Hyo Min's character. I would probably get a headache every day if I had a sister like her.
And I do understand the point of Woo Hyun's character, but the drama makes him seem pointless. I don't really get his relationship with Hyo Min's character - they seem like they flirt with each other on a regular basis, yet they're friends at the same time...anyway, in conclusion, this couple is not a couple I can take seriously. Maybe I will later on, and maybe I'm judging them too early...but this is what I feel about them right now.
And I have a feeling this drama will have a tragic ending. Mi Jin says she's only willing to eat a man's liver if the man loves her enough to sacrifice himself for her. I'm pretty sure Mi Jin and Eung Seok are gonna end up as a couple...so either one of them is gonna end up dying in the end. Mi Jin might die, because she might love Eung Seok too much to eat his liver and end up disappearing, and Eung Seok might die, because he ends up sacrificing himself for her. There's no win-win situation at all.
