Melody of Love

Hey Everyone!

I finished this drama a while back just like a few others that I will be posting over the next few days. This was a weekly drama that ran from Monday to Friday each week. I started this drama because I knew it had the theme of musicals. The drama was called Melody of Love and it was mainly about a girl named Gong Deul Im and her struggles to become a musical star. Initially, she was the unemployed maknae (youngest daughter/child) in her family that strived to become a famous musical star someday. During her regular routine one day, she came across an annoying guy named Park Hyun Woo. HW and DI had many amusing encounters and misunderstandings near the beginning of the show, however eventually the two fell in love. But there were many obstacles in the way for their love to unfold because DI's sister Gong Soo Im was HW's college friend and also had a huge crush on him for years. On the other hand, the third member of that friendship was Han Tae Kyung who not only had a crush on SI for years, but he was also a musical director that hired DI coincidentally. SI was to the point of obsession over HW, whereas poor DI had no idea who SI liked. The rest of the drama revolved around the hardships that HW and DI had to go through to be together. Let's just say, SI was not the only obstacle in their path! The drama was cute and had a few muscial numbers that were nice. Overall, it was a nice drama to keep up with during the week since the episodes were super short. I would give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

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.
