*** The plot of "My Lovely Girl" seemed kind of boring - It was very typical. It wasn't anything different. The story line was too simple. I guess this is one of the reasons why the drama didn't do well, rating-wise. One pretty good thing was the love triangle, though. It was pretty strong. I didn’t consider watching it, a waste of time, but it definitely didn’t meet my expectations.  The worst part of this is that the RAIN & Krystal in my opinion had zero chemistry.  Lifeless OTP - hahaha - Although, I actually found it pretty cute. Krystal portrayed leading lady Se Na with a small repertoire of emotions. I believe Krystal can act, but I also believe she’s not ready yet to be a proper leading lady. I liked Krystal in Heirs. Coming to a conclusion I would say that “My lovely Girl” is what I would say “watchable” drama, but this isn’t enough to survive at a dramaland, which is very competitive. I've seen a lot of great dramas and this was a "meh" one. But…I enjoyed most episodes. Biased aside, Rain was awesome! I liked the dog, too. :P

Great Cast, Poor Script: 8 K-Dramas That Just Didn’t Cut It

 

998ad4eaec46470fa4cce56d6447f238.jpeg?s=

 

As an avid K-drama watcher, there has been a fair amount of K-dramas that I was excited to watch prior to the release because of the amazing cast. Most of the time, a stellar cast is more than enough reason for me to watch a series. But then there comes that moment – and it can be one episode in or several episodes in – when you realize that the script is just awful. It ends up becoming just another title on your list of K-dramas that you didn’t finish. Sad, right?

 

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

 

 

5. My Lovely Girl

my-lovely-girl.jpg

 

“My Lovely Girl” was Rain‘s big comeback into the K-drama world after he completed his military service. Although never a huge fan of Rain, I did (and still do) have an immense amount of respect for him and the success he garnered all on his own. Also, with f(x)’s Krystal as his female counterpart in the drama and INFINITE’s L as the second male lead, people were pretty excited, to say the least.

 

The first part of the series was okay. But it was when they introduced the idea of Rain’s character, Lee Hyun Wook, falling in love with his dead girlfriend’s little sister, Yoon Se Na (Krystal) that it really took a turn for the worst. It almost seemed like he wanted Se Na because she reminded him so much of his past girlfriend. The love didn’t seem genuine, and I spent most of the series just hoping Shi Woo (L) would end up with her.

Swoon, right?

 

On top of the weird love between the two main leads, most of the script was pretty boring and anti-climactic. It was a series that was not really engaging, and the only intriguing part was in the character, Shi Woo. Other than that, the story was boring and it was difficult to get through.

Although many details have been blurred, as we know, 17 years ago, on April 24th was the first occasion when Rain appeared as a solo singer on stage and danced and sang the famous Bad Guy at the recording for his first show, called Show Music Tank. It was scheduled regularly on Fridays by KMTV, which was a cable channel so the broadcast may have been on April 26th. After two days, on April 28th Rain performed at Popular Song (Inkigayo), and that show was broadcasted on SBS, which is a country-wide TV channel. As we know, Rain regards that day as his real debut. Although his Clouds likes to celebrate him, so usually, we used to hold a four-day yearly event 1f642.png:) During the first months of his career, he performed Bad Guy on many occasions. He wore a unique and beautiful silk costume in several different colors and tailoring versions. His appearances were almost equal to a fashion show 1f642.png:) You can find the collection of the first 32 performances between April and July 2002 in the linked blog post.

Arts, as it appeals to feelings and perception, is subjective :) so am perfectly okay when someone doesn't like what I like, because a lot of times I don't like what many people like :) While I agree that MLG's script was ultimately responsible for the drama's low rating, unlike the writer of the soompi post, I have no issue with Hyun Wook falling in love with the younger sister of his deceased girlfriend. Supposedly, Se Na was a strong girl, different from most of the girls in the showbiz even though she aspired to be a musician/song-writer and I could see why HW fell for her. Of course, on the screen, like you @willenette, I don't think Krystal was up to the role. She was too young for it - I don't mean her age, rather I don't think she had enough life experience to portray such a character.

 

Side note: 11 years before MLG, Rain was cast to portray someone 6-7 years older than his real age (Cha Sang Doo was supposed to be around 27-28 years old when Rain was only 21) and he performed beautifully. In my opinion, his excellent performance owed a lot to the fact that up to that point Rain had been through lots of unfortunate experience, he had had to fight hard, he himself has a big kind heart and a strong love for life, so he had a good reservoir of emotion to tap into and project out. Besides, though at the time of Sang Doo, Let's Go To School, Rain had had no acting experience, except for a few acting courses he took at Anyang Arts Highschool (which he often skipped to practice dancing), he did have good acting potential, as observed by his teacher of acting (one of the seven Rainmakers :)).

 

Back to MLG, my biggest issues, aside from Krystal's acting, are when the screenwriter decided to have Hyun Wook delayed telling Se Na the truth and eventually let Se Na receive the news from Jae Young instead (arghhh!) and then, 4 episodes later, have Se Na swayed by Hyun Wook's father's words and decided to leave him. That totally doesn't make any freaking sense to me.

 

But I love MLG, really. It's a drama I can come back watching any time, because of Rain's acting - he carried the whole drama. I love how Rain portrayed LHW's loneliness, I love LHW's wit and I love LHW's love for Se Na. MLG isn't as good a drama of Rain as his other K-dramas but, and it's a big BUT, MLG has a happy ending (yay!). Of course, Dalbongie is a huge plus :)

Am very grateful to Mr. Kim for always encouraging Rain to act, giving Rain that dual role in the school project to convince him that he can act. As I said earlier, I came to know of Rain as an actor first and he is such a fine actor that I really appreciate. I like it that he doesn't want to be boxed in a stereotype of characters and acting. He challenges himself to portray different roles and act in different genres, both on small and big screens. Unfortunately, for a drama or a movie, it takes so much more than just a good male lead to be successful.

Congratulations, Rain, on the 17th anniversary of your official debut. Rain's fans posted many of his clips to celebrate the occasion. I'd like to share here two songs from his first album that are special to me.

 

The first is Instead of Saying Goodbye, one of the three singles from his first album, N.001. When someone compiles a list of Rain's top songs, this song rarely makes it, but he actually performs it a lot on stage throughout his career. This song is special to me for two reasons. One - it is a song that could be credited with "reviving" his first album. And two - I just really love him on the stage singing the song, though its lyrics is sad, he was just having so much fun on the stage with his dancing and the whole performance is just really an overdose of cuteness.

 

 

 

The second song is my most favorite from his first album, in fact, it's one of my most favorite love ballads in all languages and of all times.

 

 

 

As your Vietnam fan club wrote on the congratulatory banner "It has been such a wonderful journey with you"! Happy Anniversary!

*** Full House drama will have an upcoming C-drama remake again. The PD has said that he will slice & dice the original to create something new. Honestly, if they're going to do that, why even call it a remake? As far as I remember there was a remake of this drama some years back but because of the Hallyu ban that time it never aired. There was also a Thai version of this series. SHK & RAIN were such a CUTE couple. I really, really liked the house! :P

*** Can’t wait! Although, I’m not really familiar with these (2) actors. It will be so good seeing Rain in a new drama project, though! Former title was “Living Two Lives Anyway” -       It will be helmed by Make A Woman Cry director Kim Keun Hong and the script will be penned by Yoo Hee Kyung of Falling For Innocence. :P

Rain, Lim Ji Yeon, And Kwak Si Yang Confirmed For Upcoming MBC Drama

286384befe034f6d8997c0f01bf97ccb.jpeg?s=

 

Rain, Lim Ji Yeon, and Kwak Si Yang have been confirmed for MBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “Welcome 2 Life” (literal title)!

 

“Welcome 2 Life” is a fantasy drama that will tell the story about a selfish lawyer who helps people who want to take advantage of the law. One day he gets sucked into a parallel universe due to an unfortunate accident and begins to live a completely new life as an upright prosecutor.

 

Rain will be taking on the role of the selfish lawyer Lee Jae Sang. As the ace lawyer from JK Law Firm, one of the nation’s top five law firms, he’s a person who can create something from nothing in order to win. However, due to a traffic accident, he gets sucked into a parallel universe and begins to live life as an upright prosecutor.

 

Meanwhile, Lim Ji Yeon will be playing Lee Jae Sang’s ex-girlfriend Ra Si On, a detective who acts before she thinks. Although Ra Si

 

On has a tough personality, she’s also a warm and pure person by nature. After breaking up with Lee Jae Sang 10 years ago, the two are on bad terms. However, in the parallel universe, she’s a bright, energetic, and optimistic working mom who supports Lee Jae Sang with love and trust as his wife.

 

In particular, the drastically different chemistry Lee Jae Sang and Ra Si On will portray as exes who are on bad terms in the real world versus the couple that make a fantastic investigative team in the parallel universe will be an interesting comparison to look forward to.

 

Finally, Kwak Si Yang will be taking on the role of Goo Dong Taek who is Ra Si On’s trusting partner and sunbae. As a police officer from the same police station as Ra Si On, he’s known for his fiery personality, but in actuality, he’s someone soft rather than tough on the inside.

 

With the star-studded lineup, “Welcome 2 Life” will broadcast near the end of July and will begin filming once casting is complete. The fantastic new drama will air after the second season of “Partners for Justice” concludes.
