It's a trip of a show. Get a ton of popcorn and soda and just go in with the mindset it's really bad. Fun, but bad! :D

Stockholm Syndrome indeed! LOL

Ooh, you're one of the few who pushed through!

Bride of Habaek really grated on may nerves! At one point, I had it bookmarked. Now, I might not even watch it.

Because it had an interesting premise about the zodiac signs and their powers. The ninjas were just the topping on the cake! LOL

Oh Lord, I felt badly for all those actors. I died watching it crumble before me.

Right? And he was loony too, with a dash of MSG!

Strawberry yogurt and Pepero are my favorite snacks if ramen is not available!

Sorry for the delayed response, but yes, I am. I've done research writing and I want to make sure the proper sources are credited. I'd hate to think I made up numbers... I don't have time for that, especially when someone's already done the real number/information crunching! :D

In a bunch of the lakorns I've watched, the BFF is interchanged with a girl or an effeminate male. Either way, they seem to balance out the lead female well. :)

Eventually, I'll get to watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Boy Joo. Now if only I can find time to add to 24 hours to watch shows! LOL

Thanks for reading my article.

I think I should've clarified my feeling for a male hanging out with a female (lead) as a platonic friend rather than a love interest. There has to be a likability factor for a guy to hang out with a girl but the feelings shouldn't always be romantically-inclined. Not only does it cheapen the male character, but makes the female protagonist be nothing else but an object to be desired or attained.

With that being said, I do believe most writer-nyms believe a female BFF to the female lead doesn't move plot along. However, She Was Pretty proves this wrong. Sadly, I'd have to tap into my Chinese/Taiwanese/Japanese/lakorn drama list to prove the female BFF role helps move a story along.

Like you, I don't want a character (male or female) to be added in a story just to fill a "hole". They should have purpose and personality. :D

Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

I struggled in a way to calling it "wo-mance" or "sis-mance". Is that crazy or what? Anyway, as I wrote this article, I wondered if I was the only one who notices the lack of the female BFF. She Was Pretty is definitely the closest I've seen in a 16-ep drama that had a friend who, despite of it all, stayed loyal to the friend than the guy. I'm glad they didn't have to part ways.

I'm planning on watching Age of Youth! Alas, time isn't on my side right now but I'll get there. Thanks for the response!

Dude, great ideas.

Chilbong! How did I forget?
