This was a really beautiful mini drama. Lighthearted but with nice message.
Kinda bummed because the reason I started watching didn't get closure the way I would've wished - but still worth the watch! c;

I'm not saying it doesn't happen in real life. I know, it does. It's like - when the hero kills the bad guy in a movie or something. No one wastes a second considering how that's not acceptable in real life. Even though it does happen. All the time. Most people just know that killing someone is wrong and that opinion won't be shaken by a movie (no matter if they really love the story). So, in my opinion, it's a about how well one can seperate fiction from real life.

Personally it doesn't bother me. Obviously abuse in any way is horrible and if someone were to treat me like that I would definitely NOT go out with them - even if he's Kim Woobin. But this is fiction. It's not real. (Even if we sometimes get attached to characters as if they were.) So please keep that in mind, people.
Okay, so now I'll try to explain why (in my opinion) these plot devices are actually important for a lot of dramas, shows & just stories in general.
1. Imagine a rich goodlooking guy, who's good at everything AND has literally the best personality ever. Now, while in real life, he'd be the jackpot - in fiction, he would not only end up as the most annyoing character (subconscious envy's a bitch), he'd also would not be able to grow during the whole show. Since he's already perfect.
"Alright, there are so many negative personality traits they could give him though so why does is it usually the typical overprotective/abusive/total asshole one?'
2. It's the easiest. And (especially according to asian dramas) it's also the one, proven to be the best recieved by the audience. We all know how fast the asian drama industry is. So yeah, I don't blame them for overusing the whole badboy thing (I don't even blame them for the unintelligent girl one - and god knows how I hate that one).
3.Wrist Grabbing, Slapping & Co: To me they're rarely just random acts of violence. Usually we don't really know what the characters are thinking and feeling. And words don't always make us feel something. But when the lead grabs the girl's wrist to stop her from walking away, we know he's freaking frustrated. The wide eyed sudden kiss - surprise, shock, wOAH she didn't expect that. The boss hitting one of his employees - fudge he's powerful.

(Wow, maybe you've noticed but I think about this a lot. Most of my favorite characters are terrible people so yeah.)

Just quick note about the genderroles: Dramas are changing. Painfully slow, yes. But man, at least there are some good female characters now. (It's also a matter of perspective, I've noticed. Like, even though characters seem very similar they might not be. So try to see it from the perspective of the dumb girl or the evil witch and you will see that it isn't always black & white.)
I honestly can not wait until most asian dramas have strong female characters. AND BAD GIRLS. DATING GOOD BOYS. OH GOD YES PLEASE.

[btw, please don't compare getting your hair shaved off to rape. that's really not cool.]

im kinda glad instrumental songs (ayyeee healer theme) arent on the list because honestly it was already hard enough without them.
....i'll HAVE to treat myself to some drama marathoning now c;

I literally had to pause and fangirl for a moment when he suddenly appeared in the Running Man episode, I was watching. I loved him in DH2 & he's perfect in WR. Really hope he gets another main role soon.

Fighting!~ :)

His name is Jang Doyoon. He's going to debut in 2014 as a member of the upcoming boyband Seventeen. You can find a lot of videos of him because Seventeen does this live stream calles 17tv :)

yeah me too, sorry :s
I really do hope Seyi and Sulchan will get together, too! They would be so cute together & Sulchan already has (kind of) a crush on her, which is adorable :3
Did you watch the 10th episode of Love in Tokyo?? SO CUTE OMG. It was perfect. I really cant wait for the next episode. I wish they aired all episodes already bc I NEED more episodes right now.

I bet the pervert/'Adam' is Min Seyi's father.

Haha, same here! And yes omg he is! c;
Omg I'm so angry at that fangirl, who pretended to be hit by the car!
And the 'In an interview he said that he's afraid of rats and then fans sent him dead cats and said they will kill all rats for him'. What even. He has some crazy weirdo fans. Really, I feel so bad for him.
I loved the scene were he was stalking Seyi! :D

That's great to hear. It really makes me smile, too. :)
You're also watching Monstar? Omg I'm loving this one so much! Can't wait for the next episode! What do you think about it?

That's fine, I like japanese dramas :)
I'll put it on my ptw list! thanks for recommending!

Yes, you should! :)
Is Love Shuffle good? I was thinking about watching it.

Yes, I agree! It's very pretty edited :)
I didn't think about watching it at first, too (I saw half of the korean version and didn't like it much). Actually I started watching it because of a few gifs I saw :)
It's really cute & hilarious! And the actors are really doing a great job. I'm loving it so far c:

sorry for my late reply >.<
currently im watching gu family book, the best lee soon shin, itazura na kiss (& im going to start Monstar, when its subbed! Ahh, I can't wait!)
I also watched Boys Over Flowers the whole last weekend with a friend & we finished now lol life.
how about you? are you watching something? did you like the thousandth man & little black dress? :)

sorry for my late reply again .__.
Yess! Gu Family Book is so good c':
I'd like to wait for it to finish first too but I can't either! lol
& OMG Loving the Innocent Man & School 2013 stuff on your page <3

Yeah c:
It airs on the 17th may in korea :') Did you see the teasers? omg it looks so good!
Yes, I have! I started watching Itazura Na Kiss (the new jap. version) & now I'm watching three dramas that are currently airing and soon Monstar will be added to my list o.o You're very clever for not watching dramas that air. Really. Why did I do this? Ugh, but now I can't stop any of them ._.

Sorry for the late reply :s
Yeah, I agree. It's better not to see Yonghwa being heartbroken. It hurts too much :c
Yes, we still have to wait 4 months ._.
Thank god, Hongki's movie will come out soon. I'm so excited for this one! :)

Sorry for my late reply :s
Idk, I didn't like how they turned into monsters at the end but then again, they had to because the final message of the drama is 'Monster are created & not born' so yeah. But it was really awesome!
Are you enjoying Gu Family Book? I'm loving it! Can't wait for the next episode :3

You're right. But I'm so impatient, I can't waaaaait for them to finish. Ugh.
Did you read that he dropped it? I don't know how I feel about it. Like, I'm sad because I was really looking forward to see him, but then again, apperently he dropped it because he wants to focus on CN Blue and stuff. Heirs will be a very popular drama, but he he chose his band over it and I really admire that.
And also, hey, I won't have to cry because he's not the second lead.
Yeah.. I'm trying my best to be positive about it.. *sobs*
I think they will have good chemistry. They're great actors - especially Min Ho, so I'm pretty sure they are able to make people ship them c:
