OMG Hong Sisters, you are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dangermousie]

I am barely ten minutes into Best Love and I am grinning and giddy and delirious like a teen with a new crush!

I think I may love this more than any other drama this year so far.

It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, you guys.

I lost my trust in Hong Sisters delivering dramas I adore post Hong Gil Dong. My Girl, DGCH, Hong Gil Dong - I loved them with a passion (and even Couple or Trouble, which wasn't my thing, I could appreciate). But You're Beautiful - I ended up having huge issues with it. And Gumiho Girlfriend bored me to tears.

Tbh, I only checked out BL because I am an incurable opimist and because I adore GHJ and CSW.

I am so glad I did!!!!! The Hong Sisters I know and love are fully back!!!!!!

I wonder if it's because YAB and GG (YAB especially) skewed a lot younger than their normal stuff (and now BL). Hmmmmm.

OMG YES!!!

I haven't watched a Hong Sisters drama that I didn't love (which includes YAB and Gumiho) so I never doubted their power to charm and make me laugh.

Must watch ASAP!

It is very good.

I finished watching ep 1 about an hour ago and am totally with you - full of hilarity and as a fan of variety shows and as a fan of all that kpop silliness (from radio shows to music shows) that this show parodies I'm totally vibing with the references and the satirical aspects of the drama. The casting seems pitch-perfect, too.

I can't wait until the characters begin fake-dating for a tv show...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes, the fake-dating will be way too funny.

If real variety shows are like that, they must be insane.

I LOL'ed through the first two episodes myself. It's been a while since I've watched anything this fun. Yay! for thet fact that it's not juvenile or OTT. I do hope it'll stay this way. I mean, YAB started out fine as well but it didn't last so I'm a bit weary still.

I loved all the meta about k-ent, snipes included. And doesn't that field just have plenty of material. :)

See, I thought both characters were unsatisfactory at the sart of YAB but would develop. But they never did :(

[timescout.livejournal.com]

I'm with you about the characters but the story was fun in the beginning (so I ignored the character flaws), then it just didin't really go anywhere and lost the fun. Irritating characters became an annoyance.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup. That's when I stopped with it - when I realized this was a cool set-up that was never ever going to go anywhere.

Yay, glad you finally started on Best Love. Hong Sisters are excellent (although You're Beautiful and Gumiho weren't my thing either), but I'm loving Best Love a lot because the two leads totally float my boat. Cha Seung-won, eeeee. So hysterically funny and hot at the same time - what a combination ;)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup. So good.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you liked "You are beautiful" at first too. :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Treu, true true. I like a lot more romcoms at the start than I do at thefinish :P
