Man I've watched so many "so bad but so good" dramas haha. The only one here I've really seen in Full House Take 2. What even was that drama lol? Also the hairstyles! But I just had to see what happened next.
Oh my word! Yes, I so agree! I have noticed the new "trend" (at least I hope it's one) and I love it! It really makes the story much more enjoyable and fun to watch. I've been thinking about this a lot since I started watching a C-drama where the guy is super in love with the girl immediately and is kind of (basically) trying to force her to like him. I enjoy the show and the couple have good chemistry, but that kind of romance feels <i>sooo</i> awkward - like you just can't help thinking, "I wish he'd just back off a bit and let this romance happen more naturally" lol.
It just dawned on me that her name is literally So-Young! Is this a play on English words?? I've seen similar name-playing on foreign words, the best example in "Kill Me, Heal Me" the heroine is named Oh Ri Jin (origin) and her brother Oh Ri-On (Orion).
