Superhumanly charming
Let me make a proposal: Can we please get 1000 more episodes of this show???
How is it already finished? It was sooooo fun, heartwarming, touching and funny - it's going to be a while (if ever) until we see another drama of this caliber.
The story sounds a little cliche at first: Kang Tae-Moo is a rich president of a food company whom his grandfather sets up on blind dates because he wants to see Kang Tae-Moo with a wife and children. He sets up a date with Jin Young Seo, the daughter of another wealthy man. Kang Tae-Moo sees this as a waste of his time but indulges on it to satisfy his grandfather. On the other hand, Jin Young Seo knows that all her blind dates are wastes and pays her best friend Shin Ha Ri to go on the blind date to scare off the president. What follows is the most hilarious blind date scene ever where Shin Ha Ri plays the sexy slutty girl to make sure that Kang Tae-Moo disapproves of her. I've seen this scene dozens of times and it just never gets old. However, Kang Tae-Moo takes a liking to her and Shin Ha Ri's lies become more and more intricate where we see a series of fake - and eventually real - dates between these stars.
I always find it amusing that some of the jokes only work in Korean (or Asian) shows. For example in the quoted scene above, Shin Ha Ri takes off her coat to show a little (but really very little) skin and is thinking to herself that nobody likes a girl with much skin - portraying a sluttier girl. But this only works in Korea, no western guy would be against a little skin. There are other typical scenes which appear to be quite intimate to Koreans while really not so for westerners - but I guess those are elements of every K-Drama (compared to western TV shows). I do like this because it gives many scenes more special.
The side couples are also cute, especially the best friend couple. They've been sweet throughout the entire show and it's amusing seeing that they sort of figured out many things a little earlier than the main couple.
Some parts were quite overdramatic but still mostly funny. I also strongly approve that the couples get together early in the show, so we get to enjoy seeing some together time of these couples. Shows or books that end after the main couple actually become a couple usually seem unsatisfying but this show allowed us to enjoy the actual relationships!
The filming is always beautiful filled with great colors. The actors are also amazing and sweet in their own respects. It's fun to let Kim Se Jeong sing a little and to have Shin Ha Ri be the girl who enjoys singing and acting with us knowing that Kim Se Jeong represents all of these! I'm definitely a new fan of hers.
My heart is still melting and I won't get over next week where we won't be seeing another episode of this fantastic drama.
