Quick, predictable yet still good
8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2015 South Korean drama. It has 20, 15 minute episodes. I really liked the main characters in this one. Lee Kang Hoon, played by Sung Hoon is a dashing, arrogant character who has to drop some arrogance and come a bit more down to earth to learn to love (remind me a bit of Beauty and the Beast). Cha Yoon Seo (played by Kim Jae Hyung) is a plucky veterinarian who is extremely down to earth.
Spoiler ? The story in this does follow the typical boy meets girl, boy and girl do not get along, boy and girl slowly grow feeling and understanding, fall in love then live happily ever after. But the female lead’s fierce independence and plucky attitude add a lot of depth to the story. Lee Kang Hoon’s mother is trying to marry him off which is pretty typical in most of these dramas. His mother doesn’t think Cha Yoon Seo is good enough for her son and it is true they are not from the same social standing. Added a little bit of a Cinderella element. It was a quick one – each episode was short (15 minutes) and there were only 20 episodes total. Relative to others, the last I watched was 30 one hour episodes – this was short and quick. I was a bit worried they would not be able to tell the story in this short of a version but it worked.
