I think the reason Yoo-rin isn't appalled by the furry, girly upholstery coat is that her pink, ruffled collar is cutting off her oxygen. She's not thinking straight.

And Tennis Girl of Lip Gloss Excess looks a lot like Lana on "Smallville", the same cranky expression and all.

You may be right about Yoo-rin. Come to think of it, they kept swaddling her in scarves. Maybe she was permanently oxygen deprived?

I never noticed the Lana resemblance before now. *ponders*

YOU HAVE CRUSHED HIS HOPES AND DREAMS, YOU HIDEOUS BINT.
Ahahahahahaha.

Glad you enjoyed it. It is indeed a fine kdrama, totally one of the best I've seen (and managed to wade through). :D

I hated that character with a fiery passion.

I really did enjoy this and some of the fantasy sequences were the funniest things I've ever seen on any show.

Any idea as to where I can view this movie? Where it's available? I don't see it on Netflix.

Thanks!

It's actually a TV miniseries (16 episodes). If you want you could get it from jdramas (http://community.livejournal.com/jdramas/profile), which has it subtitled (good subtitles, too, not the mad ones I post about - those come from DVDs of dubious origin I buy at a video store). You have to join and then check their tags for 'My Girl.' It's all up there except episode 9.
They also have a film starring the secondary male lead as a cross-dressing clown whom a Korean king falls in love with. I am looking forward to that will glee and excitement.

Here via dorama_chat: I just finished watching My Girl myself and you've said everything I wanted to say with great snark and eloquence. The beautiful (if sloooooooow) love story between Secretary Yoon and Other Girlyman was possibly the most awesome (and slowest) secondary (tertiary?) relationship I've ever seen in an Asian drama.

You're spot on with the fashion critiques - why must they always dress like that?!

Kdrama fashion exists in its own special universe of strangeness. I've never seen Goong but the 'fashions' from that one seem to make My Girl look restrained. Maybe the costume designers hate pretty people? Or all the clothes are made by untalented relatives of the producers???
