Old But Gold…
I’m late to the party with my review for this series and it will likely remain unnoticed but I still wanted to put in my two cents about my personal thoughts and feelings.
I think it’s easy as a 2021 viewer watching an old series from 2005 to claim that it’s “ unfashionable” with the subjects tackled but that’s untrue.
Yes, I can’t deny even in retrospect that ‘ My Lovely Sam Soon’ radiates mid-2000s with its filming, outfits and character roles but ultimately its a love story which has a pretty impactful presence through its characters.
My biggest draw to watching the series was undeniably our main cast. There are some notable names in the series and it’s hard to find one performance which outshone the other.
Nevertheless I can’t deny that I gravitated towards the main female lead. She was relatable and the main driving force of the series. Her gradual romance with the main male lead was also a highlight.
Maybe this is also where I was slightly annoyed a little. I felt the show did a wonderful job at presenting the characters as human beings. Even characters who you hated to begin with were given their moments also. On the other hand my one annoyance is that the series did lapse into some overused cliches. Not the end of the world but a bit annoying. Overall a sweet romance.
