drama update

WOW, i had a really intense Friday evening.  I watched the season finales of Grey's Anatomy and Gossip Girl. AND i watched the last 2 episodes of Personal Taste.  okay, since i watched PT last, i will start the rant about it first.

AND WOW. it was such a good drama.  the story line was new and different.  the characters were really developed (well, at least the 2 main were).  and Lee Min Ho and Sohn Ye Jin are both amazing actors.  they were so expressive!  okay, on to the last 2 episodes.

i have to say ep. 15 disappointed me a little in that there was a small amount of dumb heroism.  jin ho (LMH) wouldn't tell his side of the story straight. granted that it was in line with his character but it dragged it on a bit.  i also got a bit irritated with how Kae In (SYJ) was so quiet when it came to the other dude and his dad. omg were they annoying.  but overall, i guess the episode was okay and ending great because it showed the beginning of Jin Ho regaining his backbone and stepping up to Kae In's dad.

But ep. 16 really took the cake!  it had angst, sorrow, happiness and sheer sugar (if you get what i mean).  so many kisses and even a semi-sex scene? well i wouldn't call it that but they supposedly slept together finally. it was really sweet how it was carried out tho.  no laying the female lead down and blacking out the scene.  i loved how Kae In grabbed Jin Ho's hand and let him feel her heart beating quickly.  it was so Kae In and the way Jin Ho reacted was also Jin Ho-esq.  it was super sweet and really brought those 2 together. then it followed with silly sweet moments and Jin Ho finally proposing to Kae In.  i thought it was also a nice touch with Kae In losing the balloons. hahah. overall, great episode and a great ending to a great drama :)

i was wondering why i liked Sohn Ye Jin so much since The Classic.   i think i've liked her in almost all of her movie works (i.e. a moment to remember, the art of seduction etc.) and this would have to be my favorite drama of hers.  okay, back to the topic.  i think Sohn Ye Jin is quite beautiful and natural in her looks.  she doesn't look like a typical korean girl or actress.  and i bet she wears very little makeup.  she's just so gorgeous naturally and cute at the same time.  and she has so much depth in her acting and expressions.  she is definitely my favorite korean actress, if not simply my favorite actress.

And Lee Min Ho has been redeemed by this drama.  i HATED him in Boys Over Flowers because he overacted so much and i think i have a very biased opinion because i hated goo hye sun.  gosh she is such a terrible actress and annoying.  ugghh, i'm not going to ruin my happiness from talking about her. honestly, i think BOF was a big failure and didin't capture the essence of hana yori dango.

ANYWAYYYYY i will definitely miss Personal Taste and i laugh at the people who don't enjoy it.  seriously, SERIOUSLY? there's so much to appreciate in PT that if you don't recognize it, you're either really slow or lack taste.

onto Grey's Anatomy.  it was an intense finale and really good and really exciting and fun overall. not overly bloody to me either. i think that was what caught my attention at first.

Gossip Girl was eh. it was okay and interesting. i guess my favorite part was the bitching out blair gave to jenny and how jenny was sent away and won't be back for a while :)

i'm going to continue with You're Beautiful. it's funny but nothing compared to PT.  and hopefully i get to watch more of sunao ni narenakute. but that's unlikely :(

ja ne!
