Lesson 2

What I learned from watching today's drama:
Cross-dressing can be profitable. You might get a brand new watch.



Coffee Prince 2! Kdrama fans are so nice about speedy uploads to fast servers, so I couldn't resist watching another episode...and nobody was around to play with me today. Episode 2 was loads more amusing than the first episode, but still, I don't understand the attraction of the 2 main male actors. Aren't they a little old for Eun Chan? like almost 10 years too old?

Eun Chan and Han Gyul negotiate the terms of their fake relationship to deter his grandmother's blind dates and then go shopping. They even create a manly or gay handshake. Their flaming gay act (which is more like a Rain Man act) literally blows everyone away. It's pretty funny. I like how they steal candy from the kindergarten children. One evening, they are out to dinner when Han Gyul accidentally drinks Eun Chan's alcohol. He's a wimp and passes out. Eun Chan carries him to his place and upon failing to open is door, carries him to the dojo (where she teaches Taekwondo). The scene where the little kids tie him up and jump on him is sooo cute.


And how're the other characters? Well, angsty boy and pretty girl sleep with each other one more time before calling it quits...for good...yeah right. And you get to see angsty boy's very nerdy stereo system. Both of them blah blah blah...

And back to the 2 main characters. Han Gyul's grandmother, tired of his lazy arse, makes him work in a run-down coffee joint (one that Eun Chan hung out at), and Eun Chan's job at the Taekwondo place is no more since it looks like the owner ran out on her. Oh, what could happen next? I wonder.

*sigh* If this were a jdrama, the male characters would be about 10 years younger, have better fashion sense and there would be about a dozen more of them. If this were a jdrama, everything that happened in the first 2 episodes would have happened in the first half of one episode. Anyway, if they simply got rid of the 2 side characters and got a decent comedy writer, it'd be a more enjoyable series rather than the formulaic kind where all the fun thrives on the occasional cute thing amidst all the upcoming angst.
