"Wonderful Life"
I finished watching this Korean drama a few weeks ago. I know. “Cory, what have you become? You’re watching Korean dramas now?!”
Well, let me defend myself first. This show was different than most Korean dramas. There was a good plot, some good humor, and some talented actors. Okay, so I don’t give a hoot about the male actors, but dang, the girls!!! Actually, only one of them was appealing. I really really really hated the annoying “evil girl” character. But the female protagonist was SOOOOOO cute! It was Eugene (유진), ex-singer from the girlie k-pop group, S.E.S.
Aside from this rare occasion of me actually thinking a girl is pretty, there were other elements unique to this drama that made it watchable. Or, elements that were gladly NOT present, I should say. For example, there were no super-blubbering crying scenes. Sure there was crying, but nothing like the waterworks seen in most dramas (nigh every episode too). Also, there were no cases of mistaken family incest – “OMG, you’re my sister!” and the plot wasn’t centered on some completely unrealistic mishap of amnesia (I used to be a millionaire but I bumped my head on a cabinet and now I think I’m a poor boy). However, I concede that terminal illness was involved, as well as an annoying (cute, but annoying) little child actor.
All in all though, for me to actually sit through a Korean drama is unbelievable. To actually enjoy it is a frickin’ miracle. And it wasn’t just because of the girl. Honestly. Well, not all of it anyways.

I love how they left the ashtray there along with the no smoking sign.
i'm curious to see what other pictures you took in the men's washroom...
For someone who claims not to like most Korean dramas, you seem to know the general plots pretty well!
I got my nose pierced right before school...Aug. 2, I think!
