I Hate You, But It's Fine



Hey Everyone!

So, I finished this drama a few days ago, but just didn't have a chance to write about it. It is an older drama (2007), but it was really good! The drama was called I Hate You, But It's Fine. The drama started with Kang Baek Ho's mother and Bong Soo Ah's father getting married. At first BH was seen to be a trouble maker, but as the drama went on, it was evident that he was actually a very sweet guy, that just never had the opportunity to find a good, stable job. SA's father was the owner of Bonjour Foods, so when BH's mother married into the family, BH got a job as a temporary employee (his mother's idea). Throughout the drama, SA's grandmother disapproved of BH's mother and BH joining the family (to the point of getting his mother to sign a pre-nup). When BH finally started his job, he met his team leader, Na Dan Poong. DP was a very stern boss and loved her job more than anything else. The two didn't get along at first, but as time went on, they began to complement each other at work. Eventually BH fell for DP, but during this time, BH's friend already started dating DP. Throughout the drama, BH had to control his feelings for DP, but without even realizing it, he was falling deeper and deeper in love with her. DP on the other hand, did not seem to even care about either guy, and only cared about her work. In the meantime, SA married DP's brother Na Sun Jae. SJ was already dating another girl just before marrying SA, but broke up with his ex because he was an ambitious person (wanted Bonjour Foods). However, after marriage, SJ was a bad husband because he kept on going back to his ex (did not cheat on his wife, but he still had feelings for his ex, and kept on causing misunderstandings between them both). The rest of the drama revolved around the complicated relationship between DP, SJ, BH, and SA; SA had to adjust to married life, SJ continued his ambition without care for anyone else, DP learned to love someone other than her work, and BH struggled to make peace in his household. It was a really good family drama, and I'm really happy that I watched it. It was very long, but the episodes were a third of the length of other dramas. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it had a little bit of everything, from birth secrets to downfall of too much ambition. That's it for now.

Ma Boy


Hey Everyone!

Another drama I finished today was Ma Boy. It was a 3 episode drama that was just super light and cute. The drama was Ma Boy and it was mainly about Jang Geu Rim arriving at a new school full of idols. One of the celebrities was Irene. GR ended up rooming with Irene, but what she didn't know was that Irene was actually a guy. The rest of the drama revolves around GR's struggle to fit into the new school and coping with the secret behind her roommate. It was a super cute, lovey dovey drama, so I have to give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars. If you are looking for something short and cute, then this is it! That's it for now.

Good Doctor


Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama. Well, actually, I've been procrastinating in posting a few dramas I finished recently, so you will see a few posts tonight. The most recent drama I finished was Good Doctor. This drama was very unique because the main character, Park Si On, was autistic. I have not come across any dramas so far that had such an interesting character. I really liked how the actor portrayed the character. The story was mainly about SO coming to work at the pediatric sector of the hospital that Cha Yoon Seo worked at. Initially, there was a lot of adversity towards SO because of his disability. But eventually, his team started to welcome him. He had a lot of fallouts with his attending, Kim Do Han, but eventually even he realized that SO had good intentions. Both SO and DH had lost brothers in that past, so the two shared an interesting relationship throughout the drama. Not only did he develop a close relationship with DO, but regardless his nusual quirks, he was just so sweet and caring, that the staff and patients loved him. The drama mainly involved SO becoming more human through all the interactions he had with the staff and patients in the pediatrics department. There were many intersting cases that came about throughout the drama. It was especially interesting because the patients were all children. It was a very cute and touching drama. I have a slight bias because I'm in the medical field, but nonetheless, this was an excellent drama with great acting by the lead male actor. I give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Her Legend

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama today and thought I would post my review before heading to bed. The drama was Her Legend. At first, I was not sure if I would like this drama, but then after starting it, it got me hooked. The drama was about Eun Jung Soo and her struggles after her mother passed away. Initially, she was taken in by her uncle, but their living situation did not really scream "welcome". Her aunt really did not want her living there, and neither did her daughter; Eun Kyung Hee. Eventually, a woman decided to adopt JS after some unusal meetings. However, after finally taking JS in, they had a bad car accident that left the woman in a coma. Her husband was away for business while all this happened, so since he did not have any attachment to JS yet, he decided to take his wife to the US and gave up the adoption. Before he left, JS's aunt forced him to send money since she JS was supposed to be adopted by him. He did end up sending money, and her aunt decided to use it for her own daughter. A few years later, JS and KH were both in middle school, and a call came to adopt JS again because the woman came out of her coma. However at that point, JS's aunt and KH became greedy, and somehow they ended up sending KH in JS's place. The rest of the drama revolved around the reality of the switched fates. I liked the drama, however I got a weird feeling after it ended. I feel like they could have ended it with a few more answers. Regardless, it was a good drama about greed and how far people will go to keep what they have (regardless of whether it's theirs or not!). I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars, not because the plot was bad, but rather because the lead actress's acting was just horrible! I only watched it to the end because the plot was very interesting (every week I wanted to watch the next episode). So, I would suggest this drama to anyone that wants to watch a good plot, but don't expect spectacular acting. I actually preferred the supporting roles more than the leads. So, don't be discouraged from watching it because of one bad actress! That's it for now.
