Spoiler@@@Alert@ In Ep 55 that greedy lady is Seoul Hwa birth mom. Wow! so sad, and I don't think she would…
She obviously misses her as she is giving all her love to her son, because she cannot find her daughter. I mean, she keeps looking for her in the orphanage. Probably she won't find out soon enough tho. And Jun Sang is so blah and overbearing I don't think anyone in their right mind would date him.
The evil mother-in-law and the self-sacrificying loyal woman are most hateful indeed.
However, Nodame is not a self-sacrificing loyal woman... at least not in the sense that you described... She was also quite shelfish or self-indulgent in my opinion. Nevertheless one of my favorite female characters throught the drama/anime/manga history
I like how divorce is becoming a more natural part of kdramas.. or ppl finding new love etc not getting back tohether with their exes... for example one more happy ending or even the quite makjang happy home :D
Hmm, my dislikes would be:
1) bad acting (can ruin anything)
2) the last third of almost any korean drama or last half of any taiwanese drama (this is usually the part when the couple has fallen in love, but everything including evil mothers and amnesia etc starts getting in their way)
3) too simple-minded or kind-hearted female leads... just lame, can't seem to feel for them
4) whiny second male leads (they tend to fall to easily and be too clingy)
5) evil without motivation or any real reason characters (sometimes they exist, and it makes no sense as to why they do all the evil deeds they do)
The phenomena exists. Heirs proves it. However, half the sweaters in this article are not ugly. The one that you found in a drift store looks sooo cosy and cute. I wish I owned it :)
You picked the best ones, tho I haven't seen DOTS yet... so no comment about that. The goblin bromance is my favoutite too. I don't know if qualifies as bromance, but totally loved the interactions between Hamburger and Ma Suk Woo in Woman with a suitcase.
Despite being a huge fan of contract relationship dramas, all I could think through this whole article, was that I Was Born to Love You is Freddie Mercury's solo.....
Anyways, it's a nice list and gave me some ideas on what to check out next time I'm bored:D
