I really don't know where to start so I figure I'll review a short K-Drama I just watched.
This Drama is called
Hope For Dating and was only two episodes and aired September 11th to 12th.
First of all, let's talk about this cast. Pictured is Daniel Choi and BoA, the two leads. I saw Daniel Choi in The Musical and even though I wasn't a big fan of the drama itself I really fell in love with the actor. We all know who BoA is, but who knew how amazing her acting skills were? I loved her in the drama and I have actually been meaning to check out a lot more of her music (
I'll eat you up
(your love your love) so yum so yum). We also have
Im Si Wan. Don't recognize the name? You'll probably recognize his face though. He's in the kpop group ZE:A and in a few well-known dramas like The Moon Embraces The Sun and Answer Me 1997. Next we have
Kim Ji Won. She has also been in a few popular dramas, and will be one of the cast members of the highly anticipated drama, The Heirs. Don't even get me started on the rest of the cast. The point is, there is talent literally oozing out of this drama!
Onto the actual review part then, I rate it 4 stars. As you'll learn, I don't give out a lot of five star reviews. This drama was great, it had me laughing and yelling at the screen, and *SPOILER* the ending was INCREDIBLY unpredictable. The producers and director did a fantastic job of keeping me on my toes. The characters really did grow and learned a lot about being in a relationship.There were REAL kisses (and even some tongue). The great part about it only being two episodes is you get to skip all those boring "oh they're looking at each other's eyes again, I'll just go wrestle a shark or something...*1 hour later*... oh look they're done being awkward again." There was no 6 episode wait for a hand hold or a 15 episode wait for a kiss. So it was kind of refreshing in that aspect.
Favorite part: I found it hilarious that BoA's boyfriend wanted sex while the Daniel's girlfriend wanted marriage. It was very stereotypical, I suppose, but I found it funny all the same.
Least favorite part: I'm honestly having a hard time remembering a part I didn't like. I suppose you could say I got mad at the very end where Siwan's character ran up to her and prevented her from actually meeting Daniel's character. I mean, come one dude!
Overall, I recommend it. It doesn't take very long to watch and it's a fantastic drama. Let me know what you think in the comments! ^o^
Oh, and don't forgot to answer the poll on the right!
