Nice Guy
Nice Guy (The Innocent Man) makes me realize why it is that people like soap operas. I've never bought into American soaps mostly because they never end and so I never really saw the point in getting involved with them. Korean melodramas have the distinct advantage of having a beginning, middle, and an end, so you know there will be a real resolution and can allow yourself to get really caught up in the story without wondering how long it's going to be until the next ridiculous makjang (outrageous plot element) that makes it possible for all of the same characters to have a new story in season 225 of As the World Turns.
I'm actually surprised how into it I am. I am not usually the type to shout at the screen when I'm watching a show, but this show really makes me hate the villain so much! In episode 5 I was shouting at Ma Ru, "No, don't listen to her! That bitch is full of shit! AUGH!!! YOU ARE TOO SMART TO FALL FOR THIS CRAP." There are elements of it that are definitely silly ("I'm going to rappel down this cliff to save a Barbie doll now!"), but I'm really buying into the raw, angry, vengeful tone of the show. Also, kissing already in episode 5? I'll jump on that train for sure.
I know this is basically turning into my kdrama review blog, but I haven't got a whole lot else going on that isn't just the same old shit. My life is pretty boring right now, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
