Can You Hear My Heart? Well, hopefully, yes.

Tomorrow, I am finally starting Can You Hear My Heart, the 30-ep drama from the writer of Last Scandal. Love the writer, adore the leads - Kim Jae Won and Hwang Jung Eum, and it just seems something I'd love. I was waiting for first 6 eps to air.

Also, doesn't KJW have the most amazing smile?



I've loved him ever since I saw him in Romance with Kim Ha Neul, where he was a student in love with his teacher.

Well, that's good to hear at least.

Haha, I don't know if I would rec it, I actually found it pretty ordinary. I haven't actually finished it yet, so I don't know. Maybe you'll really like it?

Aww, I like twdramas? They tend to be a lot more fluffy, or more emotional, in my experience, which is sometimes exactly what I want. ISWAK, case in point. Fluffiest drama I have EVER seen.

Oh, really? Ockoala's given it rave reviews, so I had pondered trying it despite my misgivings; frankly it sounds exactly like your average twdrama with those contract marriage/relationship turning into ~*~true love~*~.

Hmm, I wonder what it is about twdramas which has rubbed me the wrong way? I liked a few - ISWAK is one of them - but after that, I can't seem to finish any. For me, kdramas strike the exact balance of romance/dramatic tension/angst. I've found many twdramas hard to stomach because they start off slapstick, descend into overly dramatic angst for a long stretch, and by the end everyone comes out of it with long faces. Even ISWAK had that final 4 episodes of everyone running around weeping.

LOL I don't know, it's not like I can say kdrama romcoms don't often fall into that format, but... maybe it's because there are so many varieties of kdramas that I can choose, while twdramas are 90% romcoms? *ponders* Or maybe it's because a good portion of twdrama actors/actresses simply can't deliver on the acting department and I can't get involved enough in their characters to stay watching even when it rolls into heavy angst.

I don't want to be the anti-reccer! Maybe just try it out yourself? It kind of is exactly that, though. I found it cute but forgettable. Also I seriously CANNOT shake the goofy image I have of Mike He from DBY omg.

Haha, true, but I end up buying into it all anyway. I think I cried for half the last episode of ISWAK 2. And I remember sobbing in Autumn's Concerto which pulled every single cliche in existence. And during Fated To Love You, even if I ended up hating it by the end. And they all had happy endings!! I guess I'm easy, LOL. Imagine if I actually watched something tragic. :/

My Lucky Star! That one was adorable and I love it and I never embarrassed myself with tears throughout it. :D Took awhile to get used to the dubbed voice, though.
