The Korean Pride and Prejudice
I’ve recently discovered this amazing drama on Netflix in Australia and I was totally hooked. I’ve watched it back to back twice and again twice back to back. The music and OSTs are so amazing, the scenery around the male lead actor’s is breathtaking. The cast is superb, both male and female leads have played their roles to perfection, although I give Hyundai Bin extra points especially for his performance when they had switched bodies. Also the of him in the elevator was so realistic (I’m claustrophobic too). The other scene with the elevator during the fires with her firefighter father is heartbreaking.
This drama has so many punch lines, love her calling him Mr Sparkles and the “one little two little three little Indians” is so funny and the “the chestnut was me but the cheesecake was some other bitch”. The scene at the action school with the sits ups is one I will never forget. I loved watching them walking side by side, first in his mind and then for real. I have laughed a lot but also cried a lot too. I know hate is such a strong word but I do hate his mother. I don’t call that real love, even after finding out that the girl’s father had sacrificed his life to save her son and later when her son had almost died she still remained nasty and twisted. Even after they had three children she was still the same, would her grandkids love her when they grow up and find out how badly she has treated their mother and father? I would not, I simply cannot justify her actions and I feel sorry for people who put their status and worry about the rest of the world’s opinion instead of focusing on their children’s happiness. Now I’m about to disappear like foam and watch it again as sadly it’s leaving Netflix tomorrow. It is by far my favourite Korean drama.
