Lovers in Paris (2004)

Classic romance drama formula that worked for me. I love the characters and the actors who played it because they have chemistry and the actors are versatile. I love the fact that the drama is just light, entertaining and well-balanced because there's melodrama and comedy. I really enjoyed it's soundtrack and cinematography. For me, it's one of the best soundtrack out there. The drama in general is fresh and charming that I can re-watch again and again and certainly could stand the test of time. I love the Paris shots. I recommend this to romantic people who likes watching light enjoyable dramas. This classic drama is certainly a MUST-WATCH! :)

"Lovers in Paris one of Korea's top classics"... I have heard this sentence so many times ever since I started watching K dramas back in 2006, since then I've been holding it back for some reason I wasn't too eager to start it. However, I know that being a K drama fan I have an obligation to watch the Top Classical K dramas and Lovers in Paris is one of them. I have always been wondering why is it considered classic and why did it receive high TV ratings (it is ranked top 11 most highest rated K drama of all times and received 57.6% !!) so I was wondering WHY?? Well here is why...

Story: The main reason why I doubted this drama is because of the story (Rich man falling in love with poor woman and everyone is against them) let's be honest here this concept is been used so many times already not just in K dramas but all over the world. What makes "Lovers in Paris" story so special?? Well, it is special the story made me go through so many emotions (and I'm not the type of person that goes through emotions or cry over scenes no matter how sad they were... it's my first time tearing up for a Romantic Drama such as Lovers in Paris). This story is really classic now I understand why, cus even though towards the end "certain characters" made me really pissed off and annoyed (I almost kicked my screen) I thought that I wouldn't rate it as 10 because of those characters behaviors towards the end (it was just too much) but what happened in the last episode was more than enough for me to forget about how annoyed I was with some characters. The main couple's lines and scenes were enough for me to rate this drama 10 they deserve it this drama deserve a 10.

Acting: Park Shin Yang !! OMG I saw him in sign and loved him there he's such a great actor I never saw his romantic side...but I saw it in here he is MAN you'd wish to have for your own he did a great job I loved him the most (his romantic scenes, his character and his acting SIGH everything about him was mesmerizing me). The rest of the cast did a great job as well Kim Jung Eun annoyed me at first but as the story proceeds I started liking her. As for Lee Dong Gun oh my I really hated him and got really sick of his character but that just shows he acted it too well for me to get this annoyed by him.

Music: I LOVED one song (To Your Side by Jo Sung Mo) OMG how I love this song whenever they played it I would always repeat the scenes and react strongly to the them... it's just too mesmerizing with breathe taking lyrics I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT I'm even trying to memorize it to be able to sing it as well as Jo Sung Mo I will love it forever.

Rewatch: This is one drama I would gladly rewatch because it is filled with sweet romantic scenes and I'm sure I'm going to miss this cute couple very soon.

Overall: This drama is one of the best romantic dramas out there, it is PURELY and COMPLETELY romantic filled with sweet romance!! Lovers in Paris is also known for its drama lines ppl still remember those lines said by the actors (I didn't know why ppl were making such a big deal about those lines even after so many year have passed I didn't get why until I actually saw the drama).... My favorite line for Park Shin Yang is "Ore Aige (My Baby)" and for Lee Dong Gun "You're inside me".
