Now she's in California and has just found how her sister's been lying about her whereabouts. She's looking for her sister but when she reaches the doorstep of the address she has she finds a White woman instead in the house instead of her sister. Still I somehow wished this time Park Shin Hye wouldn't be stuck in the naive, crying girl role but alas! Anyway, she goes alone to California, a completely foreign land in hope to meet her sister. Yes, her life is sort of sad with a mute mother, a bad job and sister who has been MIA for so long. Park Shin Hye's character Eun Sang seems to me like a damsel in distress. Guess what else I learnt about his character? He loves surfing. He is surrounded by so many people and yet is lonely. Just the beginning we already know how he is unloved in this world. Pardon me if this seems inconsistent with the story because my Korean's not that great and yet I tried to understand very hard!Įverything in the background is shiny and yet we see Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho) looking out the window with a sad, brooding expression within the first few minutes. I was really curious to know how this drama was going to be. Thanks Viki!Ī predictable yet fun start! I'd been waiting very impatiently for this drama to start! Now that it has I grabbed the first opportunity I could to watch it. Besides - I already see a theme of bullying cropping up with that chaebol son (you any guts), so I see a BOF parallel there. Min Hyuk is playing Park Shin Hye's BFF back in Korea. Lee Min Ho is that prodigal son banished to the US, in the pretense of "studying." His english is shockingly bad for a kid meant to have grown up there, but I genuinely appreciated his efforts, and he made me laugh^^ I just wanted her to cheer up^^ (Good news, looks like it will in the next ep! Unleash that smile, girl.) The girl is a credible actress (just look at her MV's) but the writers are making her life too hard-up and sorrowful. Park Shin Hye had to sob quite a bit in this episode, and I felt sorry for her. Great eye-candy, beautiful sets, h Already, I am salivating over the golden beaches of california, the wardrobes of the well-to-do, and the rich colours so artfully employed in like every other shot. I also was happy to see park shin hye's acting skills and I think she looks lovely:) and of course Min hyuk is adorbs! I want to see more of him :3 I don't blame the show for having them because i have no doubt that if it was the other way around we'd mess up too but I shall voice my complaint! (lol) his blonde friend acts so ridiculously high and stupid and his acting is odd (why couldn't they find a better white guy to play him? they are in CA after all.) and of course there's the stereotypical abusive boyfriend.In reality I hated that they included him because I worry about whether korean people really think marrying/dating an american would be like that.I hope not.though I know that this could happen especially since many women try to escape from their lives in their country to come to america.alot of times by marrying someone they don't know.ĪNYWAYS the music was awesome and I can tell they put a lot of money towards this judging by the quality of the images and surroundings.
