A heart-warming story about two married individuals who meet by fate and become more involved in each other's lives. Choi Soo Ah (Kim Ha Neul) is an experienced AirAsia stewardess who is married to Park Jin Seok (Shin Sung Rok), a pilot who dominates every aspect of her and their daughter Park Hyo Eun's (Kim Hwan Hee) life. Despite protest, Jin Seok sends Hyo Eun to an international school in Malaysia where she meets Annie Seo/Seo Eun Woo, Seo Do Woo's (Lee Sang Yoon) daughter. Tragedy strikes when Annie dies while in an attempt to come back home and despite their denial, Soo Ah and Do Woo's lives get intertwined together.

How long has it been since I saw a drama that touched me in so many levels. Despite the plot hinting at an affair drama (which I hate the most, but end up watching anyway) it really is a story of pure yet forbidden love and also the complicated relationships of those who around them. This drama is absolutely different, modern, and deals with the affair storyline in a way that doesn't make you uncomfortable while giving you a realistic approach. The chemistry between the two leads is UHMAZING. The perfectly fitted OST was like a sprinkle of glimmer, that just made the drama more magical. I was head over heals after just the first episode. Kim Ha Neul, is such a beautiful, elegant and charismatic actress. I have loved all her work so far, she really is one of my favorites out there. A definitly all-around perfect drama for me.

The Lover Review

Title: The Lover

Genre: Romance, Comedy

Episodes: 12

Broadcast Period: Apr-2015 to Jun-2015

Cast: Oh Jung Se, Ryu Hyun Kyung, Jung Joon Young, Choi Yeo Jin, Takuya Terada, Lee Jae Joon, Kang Kyun Sung

A story that depicts four different couples living together in one apartment complex.

Room 609: Both in their thirties, Oh Do Si (Oh Jung Se) is a voice actor and Ryu Doo Ri (Ryu Hyun Kyung) is a blogger. They simply chose to live together instead of getting married, and have been sharing an apartment for two years. 

Room 610: Jung Young Joon (Jung Joon Young) and Choi Ji Nyeo (Choi Yeo Jin) are a couple that's twelve years apart in age. Ji Nyeo has the personality of a penny-pinching ahjumma and basically supports her younger boyfriend in the hope that he will someday realize his dream, while Young Joon is an unemployed musician who carries around a guitar he doesn't know how to play. 

Room 709: Lee Joon Jae (Lee Jae Joon) is a loner who prefers to stay at home, but is forced to find a roommate for financial reasons. He doesn't even want to exchange unnecessary small talk so he advertises for a foreigner who can't speak Korean very well. Enter Takuya, a Japanese guy on his travels. Takuya thinks Joon Jae is wasting his youth, and begins to draw him out into the world.

Hmm, I can’t decide if this were a failure or success for me. One thing I know for sure, that it was so real-to-life, meaning I found it to be so realistic, and I’m sure people that are cohabitating with someone, could relate to a lot of stuff in it. However, it just didn’t work for me. There were many hilarious things in it, but after finishing one episode, it was so hard to click the next episode. Imagine that for 12 episodes, I’m so exhausted now, although I never found myself bored with it. Oh god why does it have to be so complicated to explain, you guys get me right :b ? There can be dramas that you just can’t figure out why it didn’t click for you. Anyway there were no main story, just the fact it’s about the people living in that apartment complex. It consists of many short story, which I found to be relaxing, not complicated or anything. The actors were good too, and there were many rookies, but also some seniors, so a watchable mix. I do recommend it since, it’s something new in Kdrama-land, so why not? :B

Genre: School, Romance
Episodes: 16
Broadcast Period: 2005-04-13 to 2005-06-02
Cast: Gong Hyo Jin, Gong Yoo, Kim Da Hyun, Choi Yeo Jin and many more..

This drama is about a Na Bo Ri (Gong Hyo Jin), a woman who, as a student, was thrown out of school because she beat up some people. She returns to the same school, as a teacher, mainly because of her ex-teacher, Ji Hyun Woo (Kim Da Hyun), still works there, and whom she had loved every since she saw him. Little does she know, the 'leader' of the school, or best fighter so to say, Park Tae In (Gong Yoo), is a troublemaker, who seems to find an interess in the her.
He starts to like her, and refuses to go to school, or behave to say at least, unless she becomes their classoom teacher. The priciple happens to be his stepmother, and she then hires Bo Ri to be the "watch-dog" for Tae In.
Tae In falls in love with Bo Ri, which is seen as an eyesore by Noh Jem Ma (Choi Yeo Jin), who is the classmate of Tae In, and a leader in a way. She has since forever loved Tae In. She tries to make school life for Bo Ri a living hell. Bo Ri starts a relationship with Hyun Woo, but as it turns out, Hyun Woo has a fiancé. And it becomes a fight for Bo Ri's heart...

This drama took me forever to watch.. Firstly I didn't remember the homepage it was on, then the drama links were broken, then I didn't know where to download it. I remember when I started it, that I didnt like it. I hate "Teacher-Student-Love-Affairs", but I ended up liking the drama. I think I would've loved it, if I didnt resent the fact that the teacher was older and a teacher.. Just doesnt fit in my head. But the big plusses in this drama is the great acting, from Gong Yoo, who portrais the troublemaker Tae In with ease, and it looks natural on him. I liked the realtionship he developes with Jem Ma, and the fact that he understands what love it. I loved his personality, which is a double + in this one. The last star is purely because of the story; no one would or will accept a "older-woman-young-guy-relationship" nor a "teacher-student-affair", I actually found myself being one of those who dont accept them. But this story made me understand, that it is simply two people who love each other, the school is just the place they happend to fall in love.. All in all, if you have nothing else to do, or like "forbidden love dramas" this is a good watch..
