Dating Now

Dating Now is such a great korean drama (or comedy). I laughed so hard and even shed a few tears for the characters even though I don't usually cry (for reference, I didn't cry while watching Stairway to Heaven even when Choi Ji Woo became blind and wept bitterly for her love - a most heartbreaking scene) while watching these things.

There were so many nice lines and quotable quotes. It was fun to see how all the men in Ho Jung's life played key roles in helping her find who she was and who she wanted to be. Her first crush led her to a cool new friend. Her first boyfriend (the unfaithful liar) inspired her to re-study for college entrance exams until she made it. The psycho who courted her next introduced her to photography, which turned out to be what she loved doing. Finally, her childhood sweetheart (Gun-u), after courting her aggressively and causing many misunderstandings, still somehow led her back to her true love, Gyu-In. On the side, Kwon Sang Woo's (Ho-jae) love story with Suji was also nice to watch. From being a chauvinist playboy with absolutely no plans for the future, he turned into a famous model/actor with eyes only for his plain but kind and loving dentist wife.

What a fun show! I'm thinking of watching it again. Hehehe. too bad these plans normally don't push through because there are just too many things to do...

like my graduation speech for example. ho-hum.
