Korean Drama Discussion - Page 45

The fact that someone would cheat on LMJ for that doctor lady makes zero sense.

Jang Hee Jin is pretty foxy, I could probably be convinced to sleep with her if she asked nicely, even in the alternate universe where Lee Min Jung is my fiance.

LOL at Suzy's character. It's absolutely hilarious Even though I just know that this drama is gonna be your standard Korean Rom/Com I'm definitely seeing this on through.

Is soo good, I really got into the characters, MiHo is soo cute and adorable. The plot is heart-wrenching and I couldn't help but cry (yes, I am man enough to admit it!!). The grandfather was awesome, so funny and animated. The aunt/director combo was super funny and cheesy. But I never felt that they over did their part and was tooo cheesy. Just the right amount of cheese. Hyomin (<3 T-Ara) was also cute, even though she wasn't too involved. I hated Noona, that controlling, manipulative ... women. Which is exactly as her role should be. The goblin/human guy was okay, although at the time I didn't know you could turn off the user comments on viki. OMG!! Hot Guy!! Sexy alert!! etc etc etc etc pretty annoying.
Cha Dae-woong was a good actor and I thought he did a really good job.

The only thing about the plot I didn't like and thought they should've changed was the goblin. It seemed liked he came out of nowhere and was only used to forward the plot (aka telling MiHo that she will kill Dae-woong). I just thought they writers could've come up with a better idea (not that I know of any off hand).

Again it was pretty good. My favourite story line was not Kim Joo Won / Gil Ra Im; but rather the Oska / Yoon Seul. That story just seemed more believable to me, ie likely to happen. Kim Joo Won just seemed like a spoiled brat for the majority of the series and I had no idea why Gil Ra Im would ever fall for him. He also seems overly sexually aggressive to her, like she tells him to leave but then he chases her and hugs her on a bed, etc. This may not ring true for you but I couldn't get over this and thus their relationship seemed superficial and not true. The other relationships seemed fine

1) Do most K-dramas follow the basic plots of SG and AGiaG? Girl/Guy don't like each other but have to spend time together (insert plot device). Learn to like each other but the reality of their lives separates them. Learns that they can not live apart, fall in love. Fall in love but realize that if they stay together they risk injuring their partner more. Separate so that each other can be happy. Then realize they can't live without each other. Happily ever after, etc. Same as other k-dramas?

2) I am trying to learn about Korea (language, culture, food, people, etc). It was my understanding that Koreans don't really show their affection for each other publically. But in SG, Kim Joo Won/Gil Ra Im were making out on the dance floor. Is that something that would be typical or atypical in Korea? My understanding is that it was going to far and that their would be a backlash against them (friends calling them out?). I know it is a k-drama (DRAMA!), but help me here, please.

3) Continuing on the same vein, is it typical for a bf or male to drag their female counterpart around by the wrist? It seems to me to be pretty rude and intrusive. Thoughts?
