Viki should do an original sort of “reboot” of My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho called My Girlfriend is a Gummy Bear. They could scare the crap out of people, get lots and lots of dessert porn, and do lots of Haribo product placement.
I have a German neighbor who is a strength training coach at a local gym. She says her mom sends her monthly shipments of the German version of Haribo. That’s a good mom . . .
Why you could easily fall in love with My Love Eun Dong …
Rain is an element that had a huge factor in their story …
But most influence came from the young actors,
their first encounter was in the rain he ran her over with a bike, after that they had a special bond, they lost contact and yes you get where he found her again … Under his umbrella!
… no umbrella but a telephone booth
Think before you watch it this drama will pull on your heart, wring it out and stuff it back in its place with no regards of your feelings.
It had a happy ending but spend too much time on her husband and her family, for a real happy ending the viewer could feel cheated, so it was a bit unsatisfying.
Okay, it bugged me a bit, that is why I am back. This story goes over 20 years, so after 20 years, first getting to know her she barely a teenager and liking her, then loosing her, 10 years later finding her again starting a relationship (I won’t tell more), loosing her a 2nd time and another 10 years later finding her again under bad circumstances, finding a way to be together - and they are walking together at the end - is that what you would call a satisfying ending after all that time that has passed?
That is almost as the ending of President & I … Handshake, please! Why can’t it even be a hug? And that was a happy ending as well!
As they were walking together, I saw it as their new start. I find most Asian dramas don’t wrap things neatly in a bow with a kiss ending. I got used to it by now. I’m glad to have a happy ending where one of the main leads doesn’t die! It’s rare to get a stupendous, satisfactory ending. I find if a drama has a totally blissful ending, there was something in the show that really irked me.
It’s really like life. Nothing is as we expect or can predict. On my “Happy Ending Romances” collections, I state the ending for people to be prepared. I feel if I know a little of what to expect, I’m not as disappointed.
Hey, there’s an idea for a new collection, ha ha: Endings that Make You Ponder. I guess it could be called cliffhangers, but most of us demand a second season to find out what happens. “Pretty Man” left me hanging but when I watched the preview for Season Two, I thought it was way too much angst! These days, my heart just can’t take all that wringing out and being left to dry!
