How are they so adorable, how?

If there is one shippy trope that I am an utter slave to, it's the tall, icy, messed-up in reserved fashion businessman being utterly puzzled and smitten by the outgoing, chirpy, tiny girl he can't get of his mind. That is why I was so obsessed with Min Woo and Miju in Giant and that is why I am now fixated on Woo Jin/Joomi in A Thousand Kisses. They make me melt...It doesn't hurt that I adore both Ryu Jin and Kim So Eun, both of whom are capable of having chemistry with a brick wall.
By now, I just skip any scene that doesn't involve either of them (or people talking about them). I couldn't care less if the main couple jumped off the edge of the earth and died.
"Can you help me by being my fake girlfriend so I can get out of this matchmaking session. While I am at it, I will egage in the most anemic handgrip ever."











Someone is noticing our Joomi :)




His parents find out he has a gf and are mad excited since it's the first time ever and are all 'bring her over!' (I love that even his crusty father wants what's best for his kid). So WJ has to ask Joomi out...





'Can you play my girlfriend one more time?'


'I'll only do it if you smile - sending a pic of it will be fine.' Heh.

Trying on smiles for size. LOLOL darlings!





Why are they so cute?





Height difference FTW!

Honestly, adorable.




Ooops, on driving her home, her family drags him in.





Crazy greataunt spills stuff on him...






Oh, give in, darling. You know you want to - you'd have to be both blind and insane not to.


"Operation Make Woo Jin Smile." I'd say it's a success.





Have a really adorable MV (I especially love that it uses a song I am super-fond of).
I am currently on ep 6 - please tell me they get more screentime. Almost everyone on-line is only watching ATK for them.
Also, I repeat. If they make WJ's stepmom Joomi's bio mom, I will kill things. I do not want angst for my darlings at all. Only in a kdrama would age difference and the guy's utter lack of social skills not be enough of an obstacle so they'd be tempted to throw in sharing a blood sibling and being unknowing stepsiblings.

Also, the dad (whose pretty cool right now - as of ep 10) is fairly modern. Unlike other older Korean people, he doesn't seem to care that her parents aren't around and that she's poorer than them. I can seem him being upset with his wife and not wanting the two step-siblings together, but I think he'll come around.

Date: 2011-09-30 03:52 am (UTC)For all the kdramas that I have watched, I have never encounter such problems before! The whole future MIL = mom...even I can't wrap my mind around it!
But yeah, they are just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! Wait till you get to ep 12 with the picnic scene OMFG. Is it possible for them to be so cute & innocent, yet filled with sexual tension at the same time?! Am I over-thinking things or being too gutter-minded? Omg can you imagine their first time lol =p If they get to, that is...

Date: 2011-09-30 04:08 am (UTC)Their first time? LOL. That would be a little awkward, I'd imagine, since I am pretty sure she's a virgin, and while he may not be, I severely doubt he's got a lot of experience. OK, that is officially adorable :P

Date: 2011-09-30 04:24 am (UTC)But well, I am willing to overlook it as long as I get to see them together! I just can't get enough of them and wish they are the MAIN couple instead! *sigh*

Date: 2011-09-30 04:51 am (UTC)Considering the fact that the mom/stepmom wants them to marry. There has to be an out somewhere that we are not aware of.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-30 04:59 am (UTC)But still, even if that would be the case, they are still steps. Maybe stepmom/mom (who does not appear the most conventionally-moral woman out there) is just thinking 'hey they make each other happy and are nt blood-related so why not?'
no subject
Date: 2011-09-30 10:06 am (UTC)But they are not related by blood so I don't see any problems in them getting married.
I wonder will Joo Mi's big sister recognize their mother if they meet.

Date: 2011-10-02 05:47 am (UTC)Hee! I'm watching this drama now and was so pleasantly surprised that not only is Woo Jin a "cold" man but also a complete dork. My god, when he is surprised or doesn't know how to handle Joo Mi, his face just makes me laugh.

Date: 2011-10-04 12:13 am (UTC)Yes, he is so dorky, not the stereotypical icy chaebol at all.
Just lost sleep...
