Well, here we go again with issues of communication! And, dysfunction. More than any other kdrama that I’ve watched thus far, there has been more drinking and hitting each other! That is slightly disturbing frankly. Maybe it’s because I’m American but I found it really weird that a mom would be hitting her 31-32 year old daughter. Even when Park Do Kyung and Oh Hae Young have their first kiss, it’s after she starts hitting him with her purse and they tussle one another into a wall! And, that lawyer friend and PDK’s younger brother are constantly at one another too! Park Soo Kyung’s drinking scenes were so OOT I could barely stand to watch them. Hair in front of face, total inebriation, etc. Ugh! Onto to dysfunction and back to PDK—in flashbacks from his relationship with OHY Girlfriend #1, he’s happy and smiling. After she bails on the wedding, he goes into total emotional void. Then, once he’s with OHY 2, he’s able to smile again. That seemed a bit unlikely as a premise although for the sake of the series I suppose it made sense. After reading Episode Guides, I skipped Episodes 10-13 and was glad I did as all that could have been wrapped up in one episode. Even though I was annoyed by the excessive physicality/hitting/drinking, I still was invested in the relationships, particularly of the leads, as they had great chemistry. “Ordinary” OHY was actually not so ordinary because of her bubbly, free-spirited and gritty personality. Here’s something that’s been bothering me for a while…as in all other kdrama series, the female lead never wears the same clothes twice. But their closet space doesn’t seem to accommodate all the clothes they always wear—it’s a perennial mystery to me. And, original OHY was criticized twice for having “poor” clothes. What does that mean? She seemed to dress casually yes, but in Korean culture, does that mean someone’s poor? A bit baffling as in America some real slobs can be really rich so you never know.
