![]() Next stop Greatest Love – hopefully that will be this good.īoth the leads (and even secondary leads) did a great job – Gong Hyo Jin is so good at playing these incredibly sweet “kicked puppy” characters, most recently bring the same skills to When the Camelia Blooms (the most frustrating part of watching that is that her character had internalized so much cruelty that she regarded it as normal when other people abused her and could not seem to really understand or accept when the ML actually likes her respects her and wants to be kind to her). Still working on Korean Odyssey (which is interesting and well made, but maybe not this level of crackly fun. Delightful Girl Choon Hyang – I did enjoy this until the super dark “noble idiocy” arc towards the end – if you think what was actually happening the FL during those years – yuck, disgusting, horrible. This is my favorite of the Hong sister’s dramas – someday if you ever wanted to give your own ranking of them, that would be great. There are things wrong with it, but just like other good dramas (My Love from the Star, I Hear Your Voice) the good outweighs the bad. I would probably rate this a bit higher than you did – maybe an A. Maybe something got lost in the translation or cultural concept. The concept of her being “Candy” wasn’t clear or consistent throughout. I never felt that she lacked self-esteem, rather, she wasn’t on the same chart/level as Joong-Won’s OTT (cartoonish) ego. I still don’t get why Kong-Sil just didn’t go to Joong-Won after he recovered. More importantly, I had trouble following: Nor did I understand the Jin-Woo character: Wait!!! What? ANOTHER ghost-seer!!!!-and SHE KNEW HIM?!!!!?–big plot hole/missed opportunity that whould/could have been introduced sooner and seemed WAY MORE INTERESTING that the stupid Chinese fortune teller. I never quite “got” the twin plot–too complicated/unexplained and the arc was rushed at the end. ![]() The chemistry of the four leads carried this one and give the show just enough to keep it sorta interesting until the end and keep it in the B- range rather than C. ![]() ![]() Kdrama newbie here: just completed watching this one. ![]()
