I actually enjoyed FBRS a lot. It was genuinely funny in a very kdrama/cracky way. I agree that Eun Bi's character didn't make sense at times, but she redeemed herself at the end in my eyes. Also JIW is so ridiculously crazy in that drama, it was a joy to watch him! Oh and also watch out for steamy kimchi kissing scenes :) Nothing too serious but definitely comforting.
Yeah, it's been cracking me up here and there 3 eps in, not too bothered fr EunBi's flakiness from the get go, totally expected. I think the character is written very out there but Lee ChungAh is handling it quite alright considering. I have much more rants on Lee MinJung in BIG, it was like she didn't exhale once with the glaring whole drama long.
ohhhh I'm not at kimchi kissing! There's some hot space invasion fr JIW's ChiSoo towards EunBi that got me fluttery. JIW seems shakier though, I don't think he's getting the zany, seems a bit lost and not sure with what he's doing. I'm totally not feeling Lee KiWoo. If the boys r not stepping up the game, I think I'll drop it when it stops being entertaining.
Yeah, I don't think JIW is that great of an actor. Eye candy and ridiculousness in the form of Cha Chi Soo but not much else.
I was actually meaning to rewarch it because it was such a fun and comforting drama for me (I also followed it around Christmas time, all those kisses and ramyun foodporn are superbly appropriate for that season)
I don't know if you've watched Secret Garden? I'm guessing yes since you are a Binnie fan :) But yeah FBRS reminded me of SG. Both have a neurotic guy falling for a girl after admiring her physical prowess and being in denial about it. Except Cha Chi Soo is a more lovable character to me and imho everything is funnier and more poignant in FBRS.
I dun mind things not perfect in sth as fluffy, but I got to ep7(?) and he's totally out of his element, methinks.
Ohhhhh yessss, I've seen SG, not my cup of Earl Grey. :/ MY biggest peeve with SG is HJW's character, absolutely the most aggravating specimen of my sex I've seen faking as some 'strong woman'. And Binnie's char is not just certifiably neurotic (he needs meds, I vaguely recall)but a stalker and commits offenses suchas abduction even if he would've got off scott free with the insanity defense and obscene amt of $$$$. HB is sooo much better at his craft, yet SG is not funny to me esp in the latter half.
I agree on HJW's character. She was definitely aggravating. I hate it when dramas tell me that the heroine is strong and sassy as I'm struggling to reconcile what they are telling me with what is actually coming across. It was absolutely the worst with Delightful Girl. The whole concept of the drama was a sassy, aggressive, no non-sense heroine....But she was so passive and mellow! Perhaps no non-sense, but in this tired and lifeless way. She did not do one "sassy" thing throughout...Except in the first 5 mins of the drama when she threw the phone away or something? Her dream was to open a jewelry store...And lo and behold, ep 12, she's sitting in her jewelry store, with a stoned expression on her face and doing nothing to go after the guy she loves. So, yeah I'm now practically allergic to the concept of sassy and strong heroines.
