Greatest Love was one of those dramas that I watched because of Dramabeans. It had good reviews on DB and was often mentioned as one of the best works of the Hong sisters and Gong Hyo Jin. I loved GHJ in It's Okay That's Love and Master's Sun but I couldn't emphatize with her on Hello, My Teacher despite the fact that I adore both her and Gong Yoo. So I was hesitant to watch Greatest Love. I finally gave in when I saw that the lead actor was Cha Seung Won whom I was super impressed with on Three Meals a Day. I wasn't expecting much. Greatest Love surprised me. It was so funny and despite my skepticism, I found myself laughing a lot of times even during the pilot episode -- which usually doesn't happen for me. Unlike most dramas where it usually takes 4 or 5 episodes before I start loving it, Greatest Love had me at its 2nd episode! Cha Seung Won did the trick for me. As Dokgo Jin, he's so hilarious. Most romcom kdramas usually pair a silly, funny, oftentimes clumsy female lead with a confident, dominant, take-charge type of guy so Cha Seung Won's silliness was so refreshing to see. His struggle to come to terms with his feelings for Gu Ae Jung (Gong Hyo Jin) was so funny to watch. And his evil laugh always gets me. The second lead, Yoon Kye Sang as Yoon Pil Joo, wasn't bad either. He's cute and kind, I would have shipped him with GHJ if I didn't enjoy CSW's performance so much. Yoon Pil Joo was a good guy but Gu Ae Jung obviously was meant for Dokgo Jin. And man, that kissing scene by the car has got to be one of the best kissing scenes in kdramaland. Unlike the first few episodes though, the latter part of the series was heartbreakingly sad and the emotional scenes really delivered. If you're watching this and you're new to Korean entertainment scene, you'll probably be shocked and uncomfortable with the injustice that Gu Ae Jung and Dokgo Jin. If I hadn't been reading some articles about Korean entertainment culture, I'd probably think that the drama was unrealistic. But it wasn't. It was a representation of how harsh showbiz can be, especially in Korea where anti-fans can be even crazier than fans. Over all, Greatest Love is a must-see.
