If nothing else, this drama will make sure you know the Korean phrase for "ant poop."
I'm just gonna come out and say it.
If you aren't watching Can You Hear My Heart, you're a sad, lonely person with a gaping emptiness in your soul where CYHMH should be.
LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE MISSING:
OTP!
Fakecest!
BROTHERS!
This is Woo Ri! She's your standard plucky girl heroine, except she makes it awesome. Her first appearance is throwing someone in a river, chasing them home, and then kicking in their door because they owe her money.
That's just how she rolls.
Woo Ri lives with her (step)father, who's mentally handicapped. They never say what's wrong with him - since it's a kdrama, they probably just made it up - but he's basically very innocent and sweet and simple. He raised Woo Ri as his own and doesn't understand or care that they're not blood-related. She's his daughter, and that's all he needs to know.
Basically, if you don't love them, you are a robot.
This is Jun Ha!
Jun Ha is Woo Ri's stepbrother. As a kid, he hated his embarrassing dad, his annoying sister, the whole damn family. He eventually left for spoilery reasons and never looked back... until now.
The first time they see each other in fifteen years. She doesn't even know who he is, but she stares without knowing why....
YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE THE OTP, RIGHT? Piggybacking! Banter! Ex-stepsiblings reunited after fateful childhood events! Except NO. You see, when Jun Ha was away all those years, he was with...
Dong Joo! The real hero.
Dong Joo is deaf because of a childhood accident, but don't worry, he can still speak, so we aren't robbed of Kim Jae Won's sexy rumbling voice. Randomly, I don't know why all my caps make him look so serene.
Dong Joo and Jun Ha are brothers. Well, "brothers." They aren't blood-related and they both know it, but they're ridiculously devoted and they constantly sleep and eat and play together and they're always like "hyuuuuuung~!" and "do you love me?" and "should I sleep here tonight?"
The kicker? Jun Ha is Dong Joo's father's son. Except Dong Joo isn't. So even though they have the same dad, they're... still not actually related.
WHICH WOULD MAKE PORN OKAY!
Once upon a time, when Jun Ha was off being embarrassed and ashamed of his family, Woo Ri would sneak into the city and play with Dong Joo. Their childhood OTP was cut short by the accident, so now they're starting all over.
Then!
Now!
THEY ARE SO ADORABLE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STAND IT. They're romantic and hilarious and full of nostalgia ("you liked me, right?" "no! you had a crush on me!"). He woos her; she resists being wooed. They frequently run places hand-in-hand. Sometimes he initiates it on purpose... except then he refuses to let go even when he's pouring drinks, just doing it one-handed instead...
SET PHASERS TO "ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN."
YES. SHE GETS PIGGYBACKING (OR AT LEAST BACKWARDS HUGGING) FROM BOTH LOVE INTERESTS. BWAHAHA.
Not to be outdone, Jun Ha will swoop in for no other reason than to be ridiculously attractive.
He knows their past; she doesn't. So he just RANDOMLY APPEARS to tease her and buy her things and sweep her off her feet. Despite her obliviousness, he's about as subtle as a brick to the face. "If I were your oppa, what would you say to me now?" alfsdkl;fjklsdklfjsdfljsdf
Lately he keeps insisting "I've never thought of her as a sister! Not now! Not in the past! Not ever!" Hmmmmmmmmm...
Did I mention he's a doctor and a business manager and an investor? You may think that's unbelievable. Jun Ha can do it all and bang your mom before dinnertime.
"AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT."
I leave you with this, for no other reason than the fact it cracks me up no matter how many times I see it. His stare! Her faces! Their goofy little perfect courtship of adorableness and crazy families! GAHHHHHH! ♥ ♥
