I am sure you are aware that I think Tamra the Island is the worst kdrama I have ever had the displeasure of coming across (with the possible exception of My Love Patzzi, but the latter did have Kim Rae Won and was much shorter).

Everything about it is horrific - the writing, the 'acting' (Im Joo Hwan is non-grating, which is the most I can say, but the heroine and William both need to be banned from acting forever), the anachronism of it (sometimes anachronisms can work brilliantly - Hong Gil Dong had our medieval hero in sunglasses. But HGD is one of the best dramas out there and had more good writing in one ep than Tamra in every ep it ever had and will have - anachronistic period dramas are very hard to pull off). Even the fight choreography sucks.

This said, impelled by trainwreck symptom I went looking for youtube vids and the above almost made the drama's existence worthwhile. It's a vid with two of the characters set to "I need a hero." I literally loled. Literally.

Heeeee!

Oh, and tomorrow, more City Hall for me. EEE!

Yeah. Yeah, I'm still gonna end up watching this. Because I have nearly no shame when it comes to light hearted crap and a guy who looks like THAT. Kinda sad, really.

Oddly, I don't find Im Joo Hwan attractive at all - I know he is objectively good-looking but I seriously do not find him appealing in the least.

That was, um....dull. I have never seen a hero, in action, look so action-less before. It's like he just doesn't care, like his fights are the equivalent of a particularly grueling, but nonetheless boring, job. And swimsuit girl? She doesn't need a hero. She needs to propitiate the drama gods, because no one gets into that sort of trouble that often without some very bad script writing. Are they supposed to be lovers? Siblings? People who happen to live in the same town and shop at the same store maybe twice a month on Tuesdays? Because I didn't get any sense of chemistry between the characters. Maybe it's just the video. Maybe they are compelling in the actual drama? Or, I guess, no.

That is why I loved the vid - cheesy but awesome song paired with such lack of anything heroic. Seriously, this drama is a dull disaster. Ugh. I did not know one could be both.

does the lead actress... carry that pout all throughout this drama?

I don't know, I haven't been brave enough to watch past the first ep. Seeing it's by the same people who made BOF, probably.
