Upcoming Kdrama has me excited
Jul. 13th, 2010 09:49 pmI've been a bit disappointed with the last few seasons of K-dramas; though last season was really good - Cinderella's Sister Personal Taste, Prosecutor Princess among other things. However, when I looked at the summer 2010 season, nothing really struck me. Until now.
Gloria is a new Sun/Sat drama written by Jung Ji Woo, the writer of such classic as - Stars Falling From the Sky, Family's Honor, How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor, etc. Plus, the cast list is beyond awesome:
( The cast )
I have to say that I'm exited for this drama due to the writer, who has a way of writing dramas about people rather than simply about their romances. I also really love the casting - Lee Chun Hee has become a favorite, as has So Yi Hyeon. Plus, Bae Doo Na is always very good. I think the story also has a lot of potential, because it seems based around these people and their relationships.
At the start Jin-Jin and Dong-A are friends and "develop a relationship", but then cold and aloof Kanna Seok enters the picture. It'll be interesting to watch that love triangle form and develop, because there are many factors involved in it: the past Jin-Jin and Dong-A share, Kanna Seok's family, etc.
There is also Yoon-Seo, who I'm sure will fit in that love triangle somewhere. I'd actually love too see Yoon-Seo and Dong-A form a little somthing-something, simply because it would give into two of my major drama kinks: ballerina/gangster and rich girl/bad boy. (Yes, I am shallow. Sue me.)
I will say this, though: I am a bit worried about how they will portray Jin-Joo, Jin-Jin's mentally handicap sister. Because, let's face it. . .sometimes the mentally handicap characters in dramas and films come off as adults acting like children and not as adults with the mental capacity of a child.
Either way - I'm looking forward to this drama. It's just too bad it's 50 episodes. That pretty much means I'll be streaming this one.
