My Lovely Sam Soon (2005)

J'AI REGARDER A 8 ANS ET JE RE-REGARDE A 25 ANS

PS : La note Overall n'est pas une note que je donne au drama, c'est juste que pour mettre la review il faut que je note obligatoirement

La première fois que j'ai regardé ce drama j'avais 8 ans, je n'avais pas fini parce que la chaine qui la diffusait avait cessé sa diffusion, mais au moins je me rappelais du titre. Je ne sais pas pourquoi j'ai autant trainé pour le re-regarder. Je crois que j'étais trop attaché à la nostalgie du premier k-drama que j'ai eu à regarder dans ma vie. Cette année j'ai décidé de me lancer et comment dire que le regarder une fois adulte change complétement.

-Le caractère de Jin Hun est un red flag, que ce soit la gifle donné à Hee Jin ou sa possessivité mélangé à de l'ego envers Sam Soon.

-J'ai beaucoup aimé Sam Soon sauf sa violence répété, frapper les gens encore et encore.

*La répétition à son poids meme en étant en couple c'était aussi pas nécessaire, elle n'était meme pas grosse.

-Le couple de la sœur de Sam Soon et du chef cuisto n'était pas nécessaire on pouvait s'en passer, il était un très grand red flag, je n'ai meme pas compris pourquoi elle a accepté de coucher avec lui.

-Je ne saurai quoi dire des personnages de Heejin et de Henry à part qu'ils sont beaux.
Mijoo est mignonne.

Et aussi l'agression sexuelle envers l'assistante pâtissière au restaurant de Jin Hun n'était pas nécessaire, ce n'est pas de l'amour.

Les K-drama étaient vraiment problématique mais pas que les k-drama, toutes les séries ou films meme américains dans ces années avaient vraiment quelques problèmes.

*J'avoue être déçu de l'avoir re-regarder, j'aurai voulu que ça reste de la nostalgie, mais d'un coté, c'était quand meme fun de le regarder étant grande, comprendre les subtilités, cringe mais rigoler quand meme. Je ne le note pas par pur nostalgie, je ne peux donner une note de peur que ça me fasse mal, à moi de 25 ans et à moi de 8 ans.

L'OST RESTE A JAMAIS L'UNE DES PLUS GRANDS OST DE TOUT LE MONDE DU KDRAMALAND; Entendu dans d'innombrables téléréalités coréennes!

Every once in a while I will watch a drama that will make me re-agonize over my top 5 list, and this is one of them. I knew from the very 1st episode that this would be one of my new favorite dramas, even though I'm about 7 years late. I literally stayed up all night ,and into the morning, because I could not stop watching. In a lot of ways, this is just another k-drama rom-com with a familiar plot, but it's so well done that it truly stands out.

Kim Sun Ah made Kim Sam Soon one of my favorite K-Drama leads ever! Sam Soon is loud, stubborn, charming, emotional, unfiltered, and absolutely hilarious. She was equal parts frustrating, & inspiring to watch. She's not the usual passive female lead, and I loved watching her take charge of a situation. She is matched up with Hyun Bin as Hyun Jin Hun, who walks the line between arrogance & charm so expertly well. At first I didn't recognize him, because he looks so different in this compared to Secret Garden, but his performance in this reminded me of all the things I loved about him in that drama. Together, their chemistry made them a rom-com dream team. The fact that they didn't fit seamlessly together, and that they were not always good to each other, made their relationship feel more honest. I think they were the perfect blend between discord, and harmony. I could literally watch them go at it all day... in fact, that's exactly what i did. lol.

The lead performances were a clear 10 for me, and every minor character in the supporting cast was also really great, but I feel like I have to deduct at least 1 point for the 2 supporting leads. It's clear that Daniel Henney's purpose in this drama was to be eye candy. Most of his scenes involve him smiling at people while they teach him Korean language & culture. His acting was decent enough, but far from good. Jung Ryeo Won's performance was also underwhelming. As much as I loved to hate her character, there were also quite a few moments when I cringed through some of her acting scenes (in both languages). It was initially jarring to hear so much english spoken in scenes, with actual fluent speakers, but it made their acting inexperience much more obvious to me. The only moments of boredom I felt during this drama was when these two were the focus.

I admit that the plot wasn't exactly original, but it wasn't typical either. The love stories in this drama are far less innocent than the k-drama norm, which was nice to see. There were many great rewatchable rom-com moments between Hyun Bin & Kim Sun Ah, and they share one of the best kiss scenes that I've seen in a drama.

Music also plays a key element in the story, which I liked, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the soundtrack.

Overall, It's lol hilarious, yet emotionally realistic. Even when the tone of the drama began to change, It never lost it's momentum. I continued to be excited about watching each episode, and I enjoyed every one till the very end. This drama could have easily ended with a pleasingly cheesy conclusion, but instead the ending was simple, and inspiring.

I think all rom-com fans should have this on their "to watch" list. Forgive the old school phones, and the ugly clothes, and I think this stands up against any current drama. I agree that "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" is one of the best dramas that I've seen, classic or not. I can see myself easily watching this drama again, & again... while eating a lot of pastries, of course : )
