first of all, i must thank Jung Yong Hwa oppa for being one of the casts in the drama LOL, he's the reason i feel compelled to watch this. if not because of this drama, most likely i would not have found Jang Geun Suk oppa who then became my ULTIMATE bias in kdramaland ever, kekeke.

in terms of story, i think the story is really lacking. i have not watched Coffee Prince, and i am not someone who actually would ever choose gender bender love stories. i mean the story would be quite standard all-across, a girl for some reason had to pretend to be a boy and live with a group of boys, and slowly the male lead discovered that she's a girl and eventually fell in love with her. the writers would try to introduce some conflicts or tensions to separate the two apart, but the ending is always a happy ending LOOOOOL! i could be a writer-nim too if the level of story-telling is always this simple and shallow.

and that's exactly what this drama has given us. but i think what really stands out most particularly in this drama is the three male leads, especially Jang Keun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung. MAN, HE'S SO FCKIN GORGEOUS! his deep voice, the way he portrays the character of a superstar, his gorgeous face, his spiky hair LOL i love everything about him. this is definitely one of the weak-to-average scripts that is really lucky because they managed to secure the perfect casts to play the lead characters.

with regards to second and third lead syndrome, they left me with bitter taste in my mouth. especially the second lead syndrome with Kang Shi Woo, i am mad because the writers really just put him on the main love triangle to screw him over and play with us. that feels so sh*tty. he was repeatedly stood up and that was so uncomfortable to watch. i mean he seriously deserved better. the writers should have given us some moments where Go Mi Nam sincerely relied on Shi Woo, so that our memory of the second lead syndrome was not that he was always rejected and cast aside. that was painful!

also the third lead syndrome with Jeremy, wow i salute Hong Ki's acting on the bus when he finally found out that the girl liked their hyung. he's such an angel, a breath of fresh air in the midst of our heartache observing kind-hearted Shi Woo who was always dejected and Tae Kyung who's always grumpy, moody and arrogant LOL.

i have said this in many places but i will write here one last time. Jang Keun Suk would have made THE most perfect Gu Jun Pyo in BoF. his portrayal of someone with deep/intense and dark charisma of a true tsundere is really spot on, and is really similar to how Matsumoto Jun played Domyouji Tsukasa. gahh one can wish~

any dramas with Jang Keun Suk oppa has perfect rewatch value for me, JUST FOR THAT SMILE. yeah i live for it. gosh oppa, you're so fckin perfect and i discovered you so late. I LOVE YOU.
