Operation Proposal

Hi Everyone!

So, recently I finished another drama called Operation Proposal. It was a remake of the Japanese drama, Proposal Daisakusen. I have watched the Japanese version as well, but the Korean version was not necessarily completely the same (just like how Hana Yori Dango and Boys Before Flowers were quite different). The drama mainly revolved around the strong friendship between Kang Baek Ho and Ham Yi Seul. The had been friends for almost 20 years, when YS was finally getting married to their old coach, Kwon Jin Won. After the wedding ceremony was finished, BH began to realize how much regret he had. He realized just how much he always loved YS, and broke down after he found a love letter she had written for him in middle school. At that point, the "conductor" arrived to grant him the wish to return to the past to change it. After that incidence, BH started his journeys to the past to win YS's heart. The rest of the drama involved BH learning more about himself, as well as just how much he loved YS (and just how much she had done for him). It was a cute interpretation of the original drama. I liked the twist on who the "conductor" was and the strong friendship between the 5 friends. I have to admit, I did cry a lot during this drama because there were so many misunderstandings between the two main characters. I liked this drama, but not as much as 9 end 2 outs (another very similar story, in terms of childhood friends finally becoming lovers). I am not a big fan of fantasy dramas, but this one was cute because it showed that, even if you go back to the past, it does not necessarily mean you can change the outcome of the present. I gave this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars because it was a nice remake of Proposal Daisakusen and the characters were all very good looking!

Some comments about the drama (SPOILERS):

- first time he travelled back to the past, it was so gross to see him eating that many buns for the contest... -_-'
- first kiss was very awkward yet cute
- there were a bit too many returns to the past
- the other girl did make my blood boil a bit
- cute awkwardness when on their first date in Jejudo
- very steamy kissing after first date in hotel room
- she was always so thoughtful of him
- "conductor"... I get it! (the name)
- the father was such a good man

That's it for now.

I'm off,
