So beautiful, and MAN did it make me think of Betty/Armando. Seriously, dudes, this could totally be their anthem. Anyway, hearing Big Kenny doing the harmony just made me realize how much I miss the glorious freak show that was Big and Rich. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO BREAK UP? WHYYYYYYY? They were my favorite, gosh darn it!

Oh, I don't mind meddlesome families when they are in it for the child's happiness, but when it's for their own selfish reasons? Ugh, I hate it. Like, I don't seem to mind when it's the parents of the poor characters, because they seem to be worried for their child as opposed to being hellbent on controlling every single aspect of their child's life. What I really love is when the mother worries, but eventually accepts the child's choice because she wants him/her to be happy. That is believable to me. But when the mothers become the ultimate villains and just keep creating obstacle after obstacle for the couple, I just can't stand it. I prefer my couples to have internal conflicts rather than that nonsense, but yeah, it's just a given if I choose to watch a drama about a rich guy falling in love with a poor girl. And when the girl is rich, then it's usually the father (or grandfather) creating all the obstacles, but they seem to come around a lot sooner than the mothers/grandmothers for some reason.

Haha, I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who couldn't get through Secret Garden. What kills me is that it started off with so much promise and I loved it so much, but augh, the melodrama, I couldn't take it anymore. I tend to avoid melodramas all together, so it was a bummer that Secret Garden turned into one as opposed to the quirky romcom that it started out as.

Yeah pretty much exactly, it started out as my IDEAL drama almost with the intensity between the actors and then the hilarity and sharp dialogue and the crazy hijinks and man it was so so fun but then it turned into 90% of other kdramas out there and I just hated it, This is my main problem with kdramas is they always seem to get melodramatic even if they dont start out that way (and many of them do). That said they are more emotionally intense than jdramas but I still prefer jdramas although I havent watched any in a while either.

speaking of jdramas, have you seen Love Shuffle? I think you would really enjoy it. Its about these group of young people, who are unhappy with their current relationships or lack of relationships you could say and so they do a shuffle and switch partners every week and its really fascinating and hilarious and has to of my favorite couples in all of asian dramas. its a great show, with twists and turns and laughs and romance and I cant recommend it highly enough really. you can find downloads for it at the ourhour and jdramas comms on lj.

Ooo, no, I haven't seen that one! I think the only Jdramas that I've seen are Hana Yori Dango and the first few eps of Nodame Cantabile. I'll have to check that one out.
