My Girl

This is the Korean drama that got me crazy about dramas in general. I think it was all the way back in '07 that I was watching it on TV, then searched for it on Youtube, and finally opened my eyes to the endless websites that aired hundreds of dramas.

When I first started watching dramas,  I laughed and cried through them. I was emotionally attached to them, and loved how dramatic everything was. Love seemed so perfect and intense, and I craved for it myself. I loved how nice the male characters were and thought everything was 'happily ever after.' However, watching a few more dramas caused me to see past the love and become quite cynical. Now, I can't cry through a single movie or drama. It's sad and I'm not sure exactly what happened, but something did.

My Girl is hilarious. The antics Yoo Rin pulls are daring and silly, and Gong Chan's smile is quite breathtaking. I love how their bond actually evolves slowly and they make an adorable couple. I held my breath for them and cried with them through their hardships. The plot was great, but I kind of dislike the drastic mood shift from light and funny to depressing and bitter.
