My Girl: through ep 11

First of all is Sae-hyun remotely connected with reality? Sheesh. It's bad enough that she doesn't get that no one hated her because she left to pursue her career(and really, when every single person who knows a guy hates your guts for what you did to him and even his sweet aunt can barely make herself be civil to you, it should be a clue that ( Read more... )

I don't think SH is capable of seeing other people as people, only as someone she wants/likes/dislikes.

That is not a way to treat someone you claim you love (Gong Chan). And re: Yu Rin? I'd still think SH was a witch if she went and told if she knew YR is not really a cousin, but she has no idea YR is not family. She just doesn't like all the attention not focused on her all the time. She doesn't care who she hurts. The only time I hated the 'other' more in a drama is the 'other guy' in Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang (by the same writers, coincidentally, and one I strongly rec).

but it doesn't look like it'll be much worse than ISWAK as far as angst levels go, and it looks like it'll be justifiedAhem. It's going to be entirely justified but for me My Girl angst was about the most painful except for Tree of Heaven. Not because it's anywhere near the level of angst in a 'dark' drama, but because I adore the characters there and when they get hurt badly, I hurt for them. There is a scene in ep 14 which I can't rewatch ( ... )

re SH and attention: Exactly. And her not knowing the whole truth just makes it worse, really. BEcause GC has NEVER indicated to her or given her any reason to think that his relationship with YR is anything more than his trying to make a newfound relative feel welcome. He's very careful that all anyone sees is him trying to make YR's new life easier. It makes SH worse because it means she's like this over someone who(as far as she knows) is completely harmless to her and her relationship with GC. I mean, can you imagine what she'd be like if, like JW, she knew all along? *shudders* Every time she grabs his sleeve when he tries to walk away or invites herself along when he has plans I want to scream at her...I mean...that behavior isn't acceptable between the (rough) ages of 10 and 70 ( ... )

SH is hate, yeah. I never stopped to analyze why, and I thought the fact that Jung-woo was so awesome sort of made up for some of her bitchiness but still. You're right about her character, she's just a new level of inconsiderate. (This may be spoilerous as I can't recall what ep it took place in but anyway, an appropriate subtitle moment I had to screencap: http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3014/mygirlseohyunorlytk6.jpg... )

I think I've seen that scene, yeah. Have you seen Magicians of Love? SH(and the whole "get back together after she hurts her hand" thing) reminds me of the guy's ex there, except that she was actually a nice person underneath, she was just immature. SH isn't immature, she's just self centered.

Secondary pairings can make or break a series, usually the first. You really kinda need them to help balance things out.
