You may not like it that much at first because it’s not quite what you expect, and you may not “get it” on the first go around, but by the time your time on vacation is at and end, you might wish you just had a few more days to spend. And that first night, rather than just staying in your room, you get up the courage to just start exploring a new world. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.Ĭute and fun, this drama reminds me of what happens when you go on an island cruise vacation, going to visit places you’ve never been before. ![]() hehehe!):Ĭity Hall OST – “웃어봐” (Laugh) by Chae Dong-ha Īudio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. if the song ends, and you’re not done reading, then just scroll back up and hit play again. In no particular order, here are my thoughts on 2009 (oh, btw, hit “play” for the mp3 so you get the full technicolor and sound effects of this review. And lastly, my first and still favorite drama of all is My Name is Kim Sam Soon, which combined everything – the cuteness, heart, love story, wonderful acting and a kickass OST.Įnough with the old, however. Even more than the first group, these latter dramas did more than just create a nice balance of cuteness and heart these dramas created a love story so palpable and real that, if you wanted to, you would need both hands to reach out and hold onto one. I mean would Full House have been as good, without “I Think I” by Byul? Or how good would Save The Last Dance For Me have been, without Edward Chun’s breath-y lyrics?Īnd taking it up a notch, here is a sample of pre-2009 dramas I loved: Goong, Coffee Prince, Bad Family, Dal Ja’s Spring, Hong Gil Dong and My Girl. I think it has something to do with the soundtrack songs that act as demi leit motifs and burrow the sentiment of the drama into your heart and mind. These dramas tend to mix cuteness and heart together in a way that Western television shows still haven’t figured out how to do consistently. Sample of pre-2009 dramas that I liked: M y Love Patzzi, Who Are You, Full House, Save The Last Dance For Me, Two Outs In The Bottom of the Ninth, and Super Rookie. First though, a little background on me so that you know where I am coming from. So while I can’t do an expert review, since I’m not an expert, I can give a newbie opinion on what worked for me, and what didn’t. Like when I saw Save The Last Dance For Me (my third k-drama ever!), I spent days afterwords thinking about what it would be like to have amnesia and then a second round of amnesia where I would forget what I had promised to remember while being forgetful the first time time around… Nevertheless, I do think a newbie’s perspective on dramas is not necessarily a bad thing – since everything is new to me, it is tougher for me to be jaded. How can I be critique-ing with any legitimacy? And so, even given the number of dramas as I have seen this year (probably topping 50) I feel a bit out of my league. But then it hit me: 2009 was also the only year of k-drama watching I’ve ever had. After all, 2009 was the best year of k-drama watching I’ve ever had. When javabeans asked me to give my thoughts on 2009, I was pretty excited, and agreed without much thought. ![]() My pick for Drama of the Year: City Hall. 154 DecemApA newbie reviews 2009 by samsooki
