I am on episode 12 of Corner with Love (I have the DVD version so the total is 23 eps) and I love it so madly: it's the perfect combo of funniness, romance, and a bit of angst. Just GUUUUUH. I haven't fallen for a Taiwanese drama this hard in a long time.
Also, Barbie and Alan's characters are such total darlings. I love everything about them: the bickering, the super-solid friendship, the chemistry, and the fact that they are a bit in denial about their feelings (though he less than she) even with all the kissing.
Yes. KISSING. This drama has a lot! I love htier first kiss, where they are in the middle of a conversation and he asks her to close her eyes and she does, because she thinks he is doing this thing where you have to describe the other person's face with eyes closed (long story) and in the middle of it, he just swoops in and kisses her! And her eyes pop open but she doesn't move for a long time and then she does shove him off and is all 'why the hell did you do that?' and he looks totally dazed and is 'I don't know.' *pause* And she grabs him and kisses him!!!! EEEEEE! And also says she doesn't know why :)
Or the way they are jealous, or the kiss in the pool, where they are fighting and he just kisses her. OMG.
Also, I haave to say I love girl friendships in this, and I love the interesting approach to Barbie's fiance, who ditched her when she became poor. He is not evil or even money-grubbing. He is just weak and a wet blanket and can't stand up to his parents. Booo! He would be pretty useless in times of adversity.
doramas,
corner with love
