Last night I gave in and started yet another Korean drama, this time a weepie (but a warm and hopeful one, you know terminal disease, importance of living your life etc.) I liked it a lot since I do like the male lead Lee Dong Wuk who is realy georgeous but not in that otherwordly way (you know like Song Seung Hun or So Ji Sob) and he is a decent actor too. The female lead is Kim Sun Ah who is very likable and will be in my good books for she is the lead of one of my favorite Korean Dramas, My Name is Kim Sam Soon. And there is the added bonus of Om Ki Jun, who came into my radar with the Worlds Within.
Yeon Jae is our lead who is working at a travel agency doing everything her colleagues don't want to do themselves. She was a contractor before and became permanent after much work and since she is 34 and unmarried(!) it is not easy for her to get another job so she sucks the insults etc. and tries to save money by being really prudent. Even when she is accused of stealing a ring of one of the agency VIP clients - for whom she had been the tour guide- she tries to keep her job above anything else. But she finds out by accident that she has a malignant tumour and she is cancer and she has only about six months to live. The doctor is her elementary school friend but he is one of the cold doctors who does not get friendly with the patients.
Well first of all she stops to receive insults and stands up for herself. She resigns in style and slaps the rich bitch who slapped her without even checking whether she is guilty or not.
Our male lead meanwhile lives life as if he is dead. He is not interested in anything and agrees to be streered through life by his father (who owns the above mentioned travel agency) and is engaged to be married to Rich Bitch. He is neither happy nor content but even that doesn't matter.
After Yeon Jae buys fancy clothes and gets herself an expensive makeover, she flies to Okinawa and decides to enjoy her trip, she sighs that it would have been much better if she has a man but she decides not to dwell on it.
And there our couple meets cute when he mistakes him for his tour guide (he is on research for more tours) and she lets him be mistaken since she has a huge crush on him. And eventually our ice man dissolves and starts to enjoy himself. He even laughs - and I love that one of his teeth is slightly crooked-. But of course Rich Bitch (whose ex bf was blackmailing her father with some photos he had of her and she has just found out what a bastard he actually was, since he never really loved her) decides to be nicer to her future husband (who is distant but not unwilling to get along) and visits Okinawa to join him in his business trip. She comes across our couple throughly enjoying themselves laughing and joking after a great day and ruins their moment, especially after realising that Yeon Jae is the employee who slapped her back - of course after resigning her job- getting enough of her insults.
Well also Strip Jack gets even better as I read. Ian Rankin, great writer.
