My Girl

[lesbiassparrow]

So now I am watching My Girl, a Korean (what else) dorama with a delightful heroine (I hope I don't fall out of love with her because that would be sad). It involves a girl with a useless, yet quite fun, dad who owes money to the mob. She has quite a talent for telling lies but only in the cause of employment and saving herself. She meets up with

Secondary males in kdramas seem to wear a lot of lipstick(the secondary guy in Goong has astonishingly pink lips, IMO)

I started out cautiously liking the Yu-Rin but really liked her.

I am liking Yu Rin more and more as the series goes on.

The secondary male is quite, quite girly. I find him fascinating in a very strange way.

I started out kinda leery of Yu Rin, but started loving her when she started staying with the family. They really cutesy her up at first, which always rubs me wrong.

I'm at episode 3.

That was my thing with Silence, too. I love mocking wangst, but I loved both the main chracters so it was just depressing.

The thing is in silence the angst may over the top but the characters seem (to me, at least) to be strangely real. And the sub-plot of rich developers coming in and tearing down homes is just sad to me.

And they even managed to sell childhood love = eternal compatability to me easily enough.

The characters do feel real to me too. Neither is saintly or perfect or larger than life. Just some confused young people.
