I decided to give it another try and watched ep 4 of Lawyers of Korea as per ambergold's instructions. It was very hilarious. While the insane flashback which both makes me hate Min Gook the Rich Guy and makes no narrative sense (seriously - they do not interact in any way consistent with that flashback - none of the three main characters!) pretty much

Wow we have such diverging experiences of this drama! I'm going to resist stepping into the futile position of defending HMG. :) And now that you know the spoiler about Lawyer Byun.... well, you're watching a completely different drama than we did. I can't wait to watch ep 5 tonight.

Oh, I want to read the defense - I'd love to be able to like him.

Re: spoiler re Byun. I am a total spoiler nut - there have been very few dramas I was fixated on enough to try and watch unspoiled entirely (Legend, Fashion 70s, Hong Gil Dong, and a very few others). All of those are rather plotty dramas unlike romcoms like this and e.g. My Girl or Delightful Girl Chun Hyang. So it doesn't really wreck an experience for me any more than it would with any other drama I've watched :)

So what's the reason? *wants to know!!*

He left because his parents were ill and he needed to finance his siblings education (which he could do by taking a US job) and also donate a kidney (?) to his sick sick father and pay for the operation - he did not want to bury her under a mountain of debt and a generally sucky situation. So he did the usual kdrama thing and bailed for her own good :)

Aww! *jumps on your uncanonical shipboat*

[dangermousie]

Yay!
