Review:

My girl is a fun drama to watch. Story is up beat from the start, but my problem initially was with the intro. Actually this was the first Korean Drama I came across. Originaly I started with Taiwanese Dramas so switch to a new language was hard enough itself, now imagine such a boring intro. But If you manage to pass the first 10 min with no expectations, which I did not in my first attempt and I gave up on spot, the the rest will draw your attention fully! But this doesn’t speak for the last 3 episodes. I literarily been forcing myself to watch the last 3 episodes, well that’s b/c you already know what is gonna happen, it’s just the matter of time!

As for the characters, I hated Yo Rin the main girl character! nothing against the actress (former Miss Korea) but she acted so darn stupid with her fake wanna-make-cute-faces! Trust me it really goes to your nerves watching her doing the same expressions over and over again.

On the contrary, I just loved LEE JUN KI this guy is simply flawless in every way. hmmm if I only could keep dreaming *slapping myself* Basically he is Seol Gong-chan’s(the main man character) rival. What a rival? he is as loyal as a dog and handsome as hmmm let’s just ends this before I embarrass myself

I don’t still recomand to start watching korean dramas with this one piece, but if you have time and don’t mind the dragging expected story lines especially with boring intro and endings starting from the episode 13 (drama has 16 ep. total), this can be a nice try!

So many fans compared this to the drama Full House, I personally think this is funnier, but we should keep in mind that FH was aired 2 years ago. Thus, makers of this one had all chances of the world to come up with much better plots, which if that was the case I think they failed big time. But I think the acting was much more mature, two thumps up to the cast excluding the main girl! ops sorry!

BASHA=this is an equivalent for the famous AJA AJA FIGHTING line in this drama!

Review:

Wondering what I think of it after watching this? Huh?
Honestly I forced myself to watch the whole drama! It was so boring unlike what you might have heard! It’s something like Full House. A forced marriage for financial reasons and balh balh balh but all that in bigger scales. I don’t know what is all the fuss about this drama really?

The story about a guy from a Monarchy family

who marries to a girl from an Ordinary family

In comparison to the FH they’ve done way worse job, still wondering why people who actually watched the FH are the fan of GOONG?
The story is about the imaginary Korean Crown King that has been forced to marry this not so good looking yet cheerful girl but he is in love with his secret lover (a ballerina) who rejected his proposal cuz she didn’t wanted to get traped by living in the palace, instead wanted to carry on her dreams!
Since no emotion  involves in the marriage the couples are forced by the elders in the palace and the other people around to share bed and act being deeply in love! So some funny incidents happen as a result but that’s about it!

One of the most patheic attempts was these bears at the end
of each episoids which resembled the people in the story!

What was even more pathetic than the bears was the fact that they all went to the same school!

I think the sexual texture in the drama and the drama’s age group is what made it all big! But what is now huge about Goong is the controversies over making the 2nd part!
Apparently the company refused at first to make such plans after all tears and letters of the fans, complaining mostly due to financial reasons. Also bringing up the fact that they can’t afford to pay the main charcaters since they are on the peak of their career in the industry! Thus, another company made up of fired employees of Goong 1 came up with the Goong 2 (the one se7en is playing in) when the original company heard the news they freaked out and called this plagiarism and took their case to the court. Then suddenly they announced they are making the Goong 2 themselves and it will contain all the original casts ( found the treasure or s.th?). Therefore made the other company change the name to Goong S! As of now despite all the threats to the GOONG S the filming is in the process!

The on going battle of GOONG 2

VS. GOONG S (what’s the S stands for anyways? Se7en?)

Anyways, as I’m typing this, the on going battle is still in heat between the two upcoming series! and Se7en’s fans are shedding tears that why the first drama of their beloved singer has to involve such struggles.

 Meanwhile just a curious thought: Is this gonna be the concept and all GOONG 2 has to say? *shaking head*
                           

As far as I know the original series was based on the comic book with the same title! Thus Goong 1 was not that original after all! By the way the staff of Goong S has a permission from the comic book creature! but this is not apparently enough to shut the goong 1 makers up!

Characters of the comic book VS. the cast of the original drama

Eun-suk and Jun-sung are forced to get engaged after they are caught being together one day.

Review:

No wonder it has been put in the Stay Away categories! Take it literally! Horrible plots and story line that nothing make sense as a whole in the end!! In case you are wondering, the writer is Lee Kyung Hee the same lady who wrote the screen play to Sangdoo Let’s go to school! Impressive huh? Quite pathetic for a woman in that ages to come up with such a weak screen play! What’s even worse is that actors like Bi after reading that crap actually played in it! I don’t understand people sometimes!

Okay, the story goes in a way that is so waste of time for me even to remember what the hell happened! But what still is taking space in my brain about this pathetic Drama is the ending!! Guess what? The both main characters die again! And where? In the snow this time! So ridicules, a 2 year old could come up with a far better ending. I personally think the writer is suffering from a chronic depression, my evidence is watching two of her screen plays and if seriously that’s a case she needs to seek for professional aid immediately.

I finished this drama up in 2 days! But I failed to watch ep. 9-11 I should get back to that sometime! Since it was such a meaningless drama, I have no such desires at this moment!! What was even worst than the story was the cloth designing! Well by now we all know that Bi is so obsessed with clothing! Sounds like here he had to approve of the cloth presented to him before trying it on or in case didn’t like it (which seemed like the whole time) making changes of his own! b/c there is absolutely no transition between the wardrobes in different settings! You see him careless at the beginning! Oh well that’s fine, you say! since the wardobes matches, But then on, when he become bodyguard he dressed better than his master! In one scene he is wearing a shredded jeans with such a high profile coat!! Who are they kidding?

I actually managed to find the same outfit he wore on that scene but in another occasion! You’d be the Judge, if this is what a poor bodyguard can afford to wear on a regular basis? While according to the Korean Entertainment Industry outlines an actor is wearing the same outfit in an award ceremony in real life (and I mean the same exact outfit!)

Then again you see him part of a gang and with a casual style!? Where the hell he got the money to dress up like that? Huh? And that’s when the story is about him being so poor that doesn’t have money to pay his brother’s hospital bill (yeah right again) thus he joins the Gangs!! Then later on as a poor mechanic in uniform? Well u know I really suspected as if he himself came up with the cloths ideas or something along the way! b/c it didn’t follow any logical flow!!!

Oh well bottom line is that stay away from this drama!! Sangdoo lets go to school had still such a better scenario except the ending! But this one was terrible since the beginning!! 

 

Synopsis:

 Growing up as the best of friends, Bi and Gong Hyo Jin make lots of lasting memories during their shortened high school years. When Gong’s family goes into bankruptcy, debtors rush into their house to grab all of her family’s belongings away. When somebody takes her fathers old record player that she really loves, Sangdoo goes after the guy. In a physical fight, the man falls off the bridge and enters a coma. Gong, not knowing this, runs away from the town. Bi goes to jail, returning to find out that his family and Gong have left him. Years later, he becomes a gigolo (with his uncle) in order to raise the hospital bills for his sick daughter (Hong claims that Bori is his daughter).

Eventually, he meets his long-lost first-love, Gong as a high school math teacher. In an effort to never lose her again, he returns as a high school student (to finish his last years of high school) and gets placed in Gong’s class. In numerous funny yet heart-touching moments, Sangdoo vows never to become a gigolo again. Yet, his past deeds have caught up with him, and he is soon sought after by the police. Gong’s boyfriend, Lee Dong Gun, also does not want to let go of Gong. First love is something beautiful yet painful to these two lovers, who have reunited after ten years to find out that everything is not the same anymore.

Review:

Warning!!! This is the saddest mini series you could ever watch in your life!!! It makes you cry like a baby!! Avoid watching it by any means if you are experiencing some happy moments in your life. b/c by watching this drama any possible smile will be taken away from you in a spark!!! By the way, this drama has the saddest ending possible a screen writer could ever come up with! The only reason would I suggest to start watching this is, a. if you are experiencing a hurtful break up with a no possible way back in!!!! b. lost a dear person to your heart so you can have an excuse to cry out loud all you want, OR c. to measure the acting skills of Bi in his debut TV drama! (The last one was my reason by the way! but I was wrong cuz it made me so sad!)
This is briefly what’s going on:

Honestly, the writer never avoides any possible chance to make things go tragic than it has already been. An 8 year old sick kid who suffers from leukemia since birth! People who lie to each other non-stop, and keep secrets till the longest they could possibly keep!!! The main character is a poor young man who was told to be a father of the sick child and sell his body to make money for her hospital bills. Not only that, during his high school he tried to backup for a girl he loved and in the accident he made a man in comma and has sent to juvenile ever since!! Funny thing that not even that girl heard about the story till 10 years later!!!

The guy got abandoned from his adopted family as a result of ending up in jail and started a pitiful life which made him a gigolo for making money for the hospital bill’s of some one else’s daughter!!!!!! Other characters give each other hard time in any way possibly they can!!!! And the love between the two main characters never came to settle down, not even after everything was ready for them to celebrate!!!! 

If you are stuburn and are willing to watch it still there is only way at the end to make you believe that this was just a stupid drama and it has no validity on a real life story!!! that is to keep watching the NG’s!!!!!! But rememebr even that might make you cry and laugh at the same !!
