Yeah they fought all the time but most k-couples do. Jandi and Jun-pyo? Not the greatest couple in the world. Since Korean dramas are all about the LURVE, lemme tackle this now. Like…what the funk? Oh, Jihu plays the violin, Yi-jeong is interested in pottery, Won-bin does God Knows What and Jun-pyo, well Jun-pyo is a spoiled little bitch who does nothing, but this ‘distinction’ DOES NOT COUNT. They have the same issues, unrequited love, neglect from parents or parental figures, misunderstood-ness. – forget their faces (and GHASTLY hair) for a second, the boys are all identical copies of one another. He was useless ornament whose only signifiant contribution is his ‘Yo, my bro’s. He and Yi-jeong made me so uncomfortable in the beginning with their stiff acting and fake, lifeless expressions but Yi-jeong had a semblence of an arc with Gaeul and his family problems. – the last guy, whose name is Won-bin I remember now was so useless I can’t fathom why he was even in the show. Which makes me wonder why didn’t any of them EVER try to stop him? Especially Jihu? They followed him around like loyal dogs, all dolled up with their stupid hair and perfect clothes and it was rather infuriating. it was always ever Jun-pyo being an ass-hole and doing all those horrible things to other students while the other three were actually nice by comparison.
There wasn’t a single teacher in sight though we did see the principal once. People were shown being bullied, going to and coming from the school and essentially doing all manner of things EXCEPT studying. – no one studied at that stupid school which was touted as the most prestigious in all of Korea.
You know, the super special girl who ‘reforms’ a bunch of guys with her specialness? A few things as quick and as randomly as possible lest I forget: So we have the members of F4, the group consisting of four high-born boys, Jihu, Jun-pyo, Yi-Jeong and the last guy, a group that lords over the entire Shinhwa school, doling out punishments and shaming on a regular basis which the student seem to accept readily as fate. Even 12 year olds don’t talk like that for the love of God. I couldn’t even with this because IT WAS SO ANNOYING. She was shown to be 18 years old, right? And I’ve seen this done in Goblin too, there is a ‘_ years later’ that happens in both dramas and so to show the ‘difference’ between the young protagonist and the somewhat grown up protagonist, the actresses adopted this childish way of speaking. And this show is filled up to its fucking neck with them. You see, things like these, I can’t swallow. After which the guy swoops in saves her, takes his shirt off, gives her his extra clothes and they kiss. Geum Jandi, the girl who kicks and screams in the face of adversity, finds her ‘strength’ draining because snow is falling? She repeatedly drops to her knees and then faints. Like, going out in heavy snowfall to look for a necklace you dropped hours ago in a HUGE FUCKING FIELD? And then inexplicably not being able to walk after 5 minutes? I shit you not. Like, listen, okay I get that you cry because he hurt you or because you miss him, frankly, the boys do the same but there are things I can’t ignore. Geum Jandi was…like all other kdrama heroines? Really fiesty and brave but displays startling idiocy when the love story begins. Love triangles, bitchy and controlling parents, poor parents and financial problems, that random dude who wants revenge because of reasons, unwanted finaces, memory loss, a girl that literally grows out of nowhere to create angst in the last two fucking episodes… I can go on but hopefully, you get my point. They dragged the show by its toes by doing one pointless and stupid thing after another. The makers of the drama proceeded to go about it in the most Indian soap-opera fashion possible, I think a lost a few brain cells.
The theme was simple: boy and girl have to be together.
– The presence/acting of Lee Min-ho, the graceful lady who played his mother and the girl who played his fiance. Let me get the pros over with, it’ll be quick: 1 episode = 1 hour, so 10 hours of garbage and cringe and funk ton of EW. It was 24 episodes long which was 10 episodes too many. Like…EW, SERIOUSLY.Įvery trope and cliche of every kind, color and culture under the sky was crammed into this one drama that is actually ten years old but seemed about twenty. I’m just trying very hard not to die by cringing at the same time. I can’t believe this is one of the dramas that started the Korean Wave… Actually, no, I believe it.
