Geumganggo, the real hero

I am not having withdrawal symptoms for the first time! I have had them for Boy over Flowers, Doctor Stranger (Only he was a very lovely stranger), Healer, K2, I remember you. Well, basically, for all the Korean dramas I watch. I am just too invested in them. But this is the first time that these heightened withdrawal symptoms are coupled with trauma. Too Much Trauma. The last episode of A Korean Odyssey aired and I was traumatized for life.

'Coffee Prince' is a Girl

Spoiler Alert: Coffee Prince is a Girl. Ok No I am just kidding. Nothing like that.

Anyway.

Only South Koreans can make tons of dramas where the girl is mistook for a guy by literally everybody just because she doesn’t have the 36’ 24’ 34’ figure. And the dimensions too were decided upon by a male world. But No, here we are not going to discuss that because here we are only going to praise these sweet miracles produced by the South Korean drama industry.

Stealing hearts by a 'Playful Kiss'

Ok, So I'll tell you straight on. This drama is the lamest and the stupidest drama ever, and I have watched it SIXTY SIX times (not kidding).

The drama is about a girl Oh Ha Ni who has fallen madly, deeply, completely, in love with the most intelligent person in her high school, Baek Seung Jo. Baek Seung Jo who can’t care less about stupid people and Ha Ni is the worst academically. Talk about fate!

Talk of fate might be more accurate when I tell you that the girl’s house is destroyed because of poor construction in an earthquake and she has to live in the father’s friend’s house which turns out to be Baek Seung Jo’s house from the second episode.

A Korean Odyssey / Hwayugi

A little kid is bullied openly and yet keeps a straight face as the teacher enters and asks all the students to get up and greet her. She stands up alone while the others call out on her. (Here, I was like ‘ok fine, those kids are just pointing out the fact that the kid, Jin Seon Mi, is just a teacher’s pet.’) But then the teacher......

(Did I mention I was watching it at 3 am?)
