Soulmate


Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama, this time a romantic comedy called Soulmate. It was quite an interesting drama because it was about the "game of love". The drama revolved around Shin Dong Wook and Lee Soo Kyung. In the first half of the drama, both of their perspectives were shown, including them realizing what "love" is. DW had never fell in love before, but finally found a girl, Hong Yu Jin, who was very innocent and naive. He began to realize that he could be with her, since she was so simple and different, however he never really "loved" her. There was no passion for her, rather, just fulfilling the qualities he searched for in the game he was playing. SK on the other hand, was with the same guy, Phillip, for 5 years and even got engaged to him, but he started falling for someone else. Due to that, he realized that he fell out of love with SK. It was really hard for SK, but that was how she found DW. Finally, the two main characters met halfway into the drama, as if by destiny. They kept being drawn to each other. But, DW kept pushing the thoughts aside, and SK, being friends with YJ, tried not to realize her feelings as well. The rest of the drama involved different encounters between DW and SK, and their love developing for each other. It was a cute drama, but the ending left me longing to know what happens next. I guess that is also a reason to like the drama right? Personally, I dislike being left hanging, so I would have to rate this drama a bit lower than perhaps it deserves. But, otherwise, it was definitely a worthwhile drama to watch. There were a lot of laughs, and a few tears now and then. But, it was nice seeing all the characters learn what "love" is, to them, as individuals. I also found the dating games really amusing. If you have time, give this drama a shot! I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars.


Some notes about the drama (SPOILERS):

- damn DW had a great body!
- the instructor was such a trouble maker!
- the [OST](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wiCTMZoBtg) was interesting... very sensual...
- interesting perspectives by showing both sides
- the games were twisted
- outfit YJ picked out for DW was hilarious!
- the manager & brother were hilarious!
- YJ's way of speaking was so irritating at times!
- the phone call/crying/music scene was so sweet/touching (tear)
- so much better without the headband!
- sexual tension between DW and SK was nice
- family orchestra... hahaha
- cried: break up, when main prentends to be her bf, when DW left
- end left me hanging

That's it for now.

I'm off,

- B
