When I watch old dramas I really miss those times when the Korean entertainment industry didn't take itself too seriously yet. Back then, Hallyu was not popular outside Korea and dramas had a very specific target audience. Therefore, the production standards were pretty low. But at the same time, I feel that the stories were sometimes better than in more recent dramas. That's what I felt watching Delightful girl, Choon Hyang. I love Hong sisters storytelling style. It's fast, it's hilarious, it's full of references to Korean popular and traditional culture, sexual innuendos... DGCH's plot is actually a modern twist on a Korean folk tale. I loved all the comedic sketches at the end of every episode parodying sageuks scenes. But above all I LOVED Jae Hee. He does a great, heartfelt job as Mong Ryong. Han Chae Young is not a great actress, but I liked the fact that she took a risk with a different role such as Choon Hyang's. And she has good chemistry with her partner. Ahn Suk Hwan was also hilarious and endearing as Mong Ryong's father. And the couple who are friends with Choon Hyang and Mong Ryong were quite lovable as well, although she was a little irritating at times. I like the fact that everything was not solved quickly in just 60 minutes in the last episode; instead, it took three or four episodes to close everything. And I also like the fact that main female character is a strong independent woman, even though in the original story, her strenght is based on the fact that she can remain a virtuous woman -which was the female ideal type in Joseon era- before the constant harassing of a vicious nobleman. What didn't I like? Well, I hated the second lead female character. She didn't contribute with anything to the main plot. She was just the ordinary second female lead you find in almost every romcom drama, the evil girl who interferes with the main couple's love story. And the resolution of her character felt too hasty in the end as well. The soundtrack was a little irregular. But it's worth mentioning the main title song by Jiny, which sounds really cool and is so distinctive that it must have become a classic by now. Anyways, I really enjoyed this drama and I really recommend it, and I have the feeling that it's sadly underrated.
