BABY-FACED BEAUTY / YOUTHFUL BEAUTY

Just watched episode 1. Well, I'm really not hard to please when it comes to dramas so I give this a thumbs up. One reason I'm watching this is because of Choi Daniel. I love his funny character in the drama, World's Within. 

Lee Soo Young (Jang Nara) is a 34-year old woman who looks like a 25 year old university student. She is also  a struggling fashion designer who only graduated up until high school. She worked at a company for 14 years but recently was fired. She's the bread winner in her family so she has to find a job ASAP to support her mother and younger sister. 

Choi Jin Wook (Choi Daniel) is man who looks older for his age. He is the heir of a multi-million dollar company but is not in good terms with his father and decided to take his fate in his own hands. He worked at a fashion company as a managing director. That scene where he thought he had to walk on the runway was funny. =D

I just finished watching episode 1-4. The first few episodes started slow but after episode 4, I couldn't wait to watch the next one! Daniel Choi really portrays his role well in this drama same with Jang Nara. Sometimes I'm kinda annoyed of Nara's character, Soo Young, because of her low self confidence. I hope for a better character development of Soo Young as the drama progresses.

I guess basing on the posters Soo Young and Jin Wook will end up together huh. IMO, Ryu Jin and Nara have more chemistry! =D The scene where Seung Il gave the -- (was that a 10 won coin? Sorry I'm not familiar with Korean currencies,) was so funny and the way Soo Young received the coin. =DD Either way it'll be okay for me since I also like Daniel Choi. Haha! Can't wait to watch episode 5! And ohh, Soo Jin ---- the real one, really gets into my nerves!! >.<

Baby-Faced Beauty: This scene is soo cute. Seung Il's daughter putting make up on Soo Young. =)

That's all for now. =) I will be updating this post as the drama progresses. =) Hope you'd be coming back here.

SINGLE DAD IN LOVE

Dramas about father-son and father-daughter relationships really interests me. It's like I feed off these dramas to fill the lost love from my father. My next entry is about a single dad doing his best to raise his only son by working as a pest exterminator by day and as a boxer at night. Guess who the single dad is? 

It's the oh so hot OH JIHO! =D Moving on..

Soyi (Kang Sung Yun), ex-lover of Pungho (Oh Jiho), left her family to pursue her career as a world renowned  pianist leaving Pungho with so much hatred to her. Pungho strives to make a living to support Kang San. Pungho met a medical student named Hari (Heo Yi Jae) who was in need of a test subject for their project in medical school. Pungho agreed to do the test with charge. Since that day both of them have developed a friendship. Hari most of the time claims that Pungho was head over heels with her and that leaves Pungho so annoyed with Hari. Hari and Kang San have also met and have been close ever since. Hari was like a mother to Kang San. She visits San at home and brings them lots of food. Sometimes Hari picks up San just to hang out. 

Dr. Jeon Gisuk, Hari's father, came back to Korea with his soon-to-be-fiancé........Pungho's ex-lover, Soyi! Yeah, I was also shock when I knew about it. Small world huh. Soyi was Hari's piano teacher. Hari's father was a bit old. =D Well, as they say age doesn't matter. Pungho liked Hari too. Hari called him ahjussi. 

Sadly, Kang San was diagnosed with brain cancer. To cover San's medical fees, Pungho decided to accept a boxing match that involves a famous boxer. Fortunately, he won but after the match he felt a very painful migraine. Dr. Jeon was San's doctor and did San's brain surgery succesfully. He was hesitant at first because he already knew the connection between Soyi and Pungho because he has hired a detective to find Soyi's son, Kang San. 

One of San's wishes was to go to a beach after his brain surgery. Pungho's trainer, Sang Tae, Chilgu, Hari, Pungho and San all went to the beach. Pungho also confessed that he likes Hari and kissed her.

Fast forward, all the secrets were out. Soyi, Hari, Dr. Jeon and Pungho knew that their life stories were related. Soyi tried to help Pungho with San's medical fees but refused it because of his hatred to her. Soyi decided to end the engagement with Dr. Jeon saying it is for the better. Hari was deeply hurt when she knew about Soyi and Pungho's past. Pungho also discovered that he has brain cancer and asked Dr. Jeon to perform his surgery. Before agreeing to proceed with the surgery, Pungho made sure that Kang San was doing well already. Kang San has been seeing his birth mother (with Pungho's approval) and started a fresh relationship with her.

The ending was a bit hanging and it pissed me off. =D It looked like Pungho died. Before the surgery, Pungho and Hari went to a beach and filmed a sort of "boxing training" video for Kang San because they didn't tell San that Pungho was off too surgery. So they made a training video for San to believe that Pungho was just away for training. The ending was a scene with Pungho in the operating room. The next scene was San watching Pungho's training video with a big smile on his face. I was confused. Hahaha!

EDIT: I forgot! I love Shindong's (Super Junior) acting performance in this drama. He should do more comedy dramas. :)

What do you think happened to Pungho? Tell me your own interpretation of this drama's ending. Just post your 2 cents in the comments section. =)

Thank you for reading!

THREE DADS AND ONE MOM

The story revolves around Haseon the daughter of Nayoung. Nayoung (Eugene Kim) and Sungmin (Yoon Sang Hyun)  had a hard time conceiving a child because Sungmin had fertility problems. As soon as Sungmin's friends, Soo Hyun (Jo Hyun Jae), Kwang Hee (Jae Hee) and Kyung Tae (Shin Sung Rok), knew about it, they decided to help through sperm donation. Sadly, Sungmin died in an accident leaving Nayoung with her unborn child at the moment. The three friends of Sungmin, feeling sorry for what happened, decided to help Nayoung raise her child.

When Nayoung gave birth to Haseon, the three men were always there for her.  The three men suggested to Nayoung to live with them since it would be hard for her to go to work with Haseon who still needs to be taken care of. While Nayoung goes to work, the three men takes care of Haseon. Kwang Hee is an artist who works at home spends the most time with Haseon. Soo Hyun takes care of their finances since he is a corporate worker. He takes care of  buying the things Haseon needs and pretty much all the expenses at home. Kyung Tae is a policeman and pretty much acts like a husband to Nayoung.

Fast forward, Haseon was Sungmin's birth daughter. Soo Hyun, Kwang Hee and Kyung Tae liked Nayoung but was scared to tell her because all three of them still didn't know who the father was. They didn't want to break the guy code....at that time! Haha! As soon as they knew that neither the three of them was the father of Haseon,  they couldn't wait to tell Nayoung that each of them liked her. This was evident in the last episode of the series when the three of them raced to Nayoung in the end.

This drama is one of my favorites. I grew up without a father and this drama made me jealous of Haseon because she has four dads who took care and loved her! Though the real one was already dead but still she's very lucky.

What I love about this drama is that it is not one of those common dramas with love triangles. Though they confessed at the end that they liked Nayoung but still the story was evident that it REALLY REVOLVED AROUND HASEON.

You guys should watch this! Join the 3 Dads and 1 Mom through their journey in taking care of Haseon. =)

Hope you had fun reading this. Please feel free to post comments.

Thank you. =)
