My Lovely Sam-Soon

Recently, there is a boom of Korean shows. Then here come the Korean Heat. Beside the weepy teary tragic love story, i think the success come after the movie of my girl.
YUP.,, this reali draw my attention. Personally, i dun like tragic / sad movies /drama. The outspoken girl in the show reali drawn my heart, wow... i think of myself she so true... she reali can speak with her heart. Dun u find that sometime all of sudden u feel like shouting out loud, just to vent.
Her gestures n actions so outwardly, but it still caught the guy heart. Not to forget the witty plot play out a Innocent cute couple who try to get to know each other well, how they think... simple but true.

My Lovely Sam-Soon
A going thirty woman trying despo for love n all her insecurities (eg. obess in getting rid of her bumpkin name, her desire name turn out to be the name of her lover's ex name). Like her never say die attitude. Touching when she explain the male lead why she so urgent to find a right guy in her life (when he chase away her suitor just for joke... bad behaviour). She say that "in a vast sea, it is better to find someone to ride a boat with u to the shore / opposite side cause if alone, is so lonely n pitful." ok, the male lead is handsome, quite too young for her. with his lovely ex gf (his first love) n sam-soon, he is undeciding cos these two are opposite not to mention appearance (one is so thin, one is abit plump). Laughing out aloud, she complain abt having another competitor when her second sis had divorced, renew her status as single. N how she moans abt her sis could had such a heavy supper n staying thin. From this drama show how close their sis relationship. Here got 4 couples, all are cute. of cos the ang-mo(Henry) is veri cute but main focus is still with the lead male, plus her sis n the cook weird relationship, n her ex with his wife an immature relationship. I was impressed by her hardworking n love toward pastry... she may have no other talent but her love for her pastry is so sincere, true. she try to explain it like Forrest grump 's box of chocolate. As for the male lead, once he decide Sam-Soon is his love, he reali clings to her (lovely) n pass her mother tests with flying colours.

Another i watch is Lovers in Paris (old drama 2004). At first, im not interested but after hearing positive comments by my colleagues, i started watching. Its a typical Cinderella-like fairy tale, a rich, smart guy, he is everything that you could ask for in a guy appear in font our poor hopeless female. Her onli plus point is her opporuntism. All of sudden, she got 2 handsome suitors (envy from the gers) and these 2 guys are no other but brothers; one is mature n rich, one is young n artistic (which they realise later cos they are raise as uncle n nephew). Between the two guys, guess who she chose? she chosen the rich older brother, given for me, i will do the same even my colleagues agree... Sigh... money does make wonder, especially when u stuck at sticky situation like the poor female lead facing financial problem always. you may wonder why both brothers come from same family, both are must be wealthy. But is the older bro who control the family business, the younger one i think, fear of the stiff competition with his capable, role-model 'uncle', decide to step out n live his own wayward life. When he realise his 'uncle' n him like the same ger n onli money can help her plight, he went back to work on family business. Then he realise it too late, she had already fallen in love with his 'uncle' even though the three of them meet at the same time. This drama show a few epi of the landscape of Paris, quite impress that Korean drama could go there to shot. Both lead are good choices as the male is mature looking guy, one could expect his support all time n lend his shoulder to cry on. the female lead on another hand, has a pair of soulful eyes, their chemistry is gd, stunned to find out the female lead is just afew yrs older than me, but she definitely look old (guess she too much surgery; it true korean ppl are famous being under the knife often). Lee Dong-Gun as the younger brother abt the age of mine, definitely doesnt suit her...look young compared to her. i watch this drama at first partly of him, i had a drama of him in sweet bride 18(that is a nice cute show), he n the female lead in that show are real couple on-screen n offscreen. :) But in this show, there is not much of him cos he not the main lead.
