The cuteness! The cuteness is too much!

To distract self from the fact that subs for ep 2 are still not out, have this scene from ep 1:





And then she finds out he's a high school student and what she thought was a suit jacket is his uniform! Bwahahahaa.




I am super-picky with romcoms, but I am Ramyun Shop's helpless and adoring slave. It probably helps that I have yet to find a male student-female teacher drama I didn't adore (yet I hate when the genders are reversed due to society's inherent imbalance in gender-power dynamics). Sang Do, Hello My Teacher, Loveholic, Romance, Majo No Jouken, Gokusen, now this. It seems I am doomed to love this subgenre. Of course, this drama has a lot more in common with Gokusen or Hello My Teacher and their light-hearted vibe than it does with the rest of the dramas on that list, which are all majorly heavy-duty, but that is part of its whimsical charm. I hope that, like Hello My Teacher, it will slowly introduce somewhat more seriousness, probably about the time the two leads will start liking each other. Please please please Drama Gods, make Jung Il Woo's character fall first and then pine like mad. But even if it doesn't achieve Hello My Teacher's wonderful mix of laughs and absolute swooning romance and give me ridiculous emotional overinvestment and break my heart a little (Gong Yoo's character had major problems and I don't think JIW's does), I will still love it for frothy, ridiculously adorable darling that it is.

And if it gives me a scene half as swoonworthy as this, I will love it forever:



(Too bad I have no caps of the foot-massage scene :P)

This looks like it might be up my alley. But! Question: It doesn't start out looking all happy and cute and quickly transition to REVENGE AND ANGST a la Can You Hear My Heart, does it? Which I still haven't finished, but idk if I will. >______>;;

... I realize it's only a few episodes in, is it? But you never know! XD;;

I am pretty sure this has been advertised and promoted as fluff. With CYHMH you could tell it was going to be angsty (and was adverted as such). Kdramas rarely switch genres (Myung Wol is a rare example).

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, good. I had no idea with CYHMH because I didn't watch/look at any trailers or anything, plus I only had yours and darkeyedwolf's posts to go by and they seemed cute and sweet! XD Maybe I just read them wrong lol.

I think I'll check this out! Did it recently start?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Just started this week :) Go to drama fever :)

Re: CYHMH. They had murder and kid disability in the first two eps :)

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

Cool cool. :D

Well someone's post must have highlighted all of the sweetness in it hahah. XD Did you ever finish it, btw?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Well, the otp was always sweet and functional ;)

Yes finished it and loved it.

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

True, true. Thankfully! Hahah.

How was it? I have no idea if I'll ever actually finish...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I loved it.

Where did you watch Hello My Teacher with subs? My friend and I searched high and low for it and were so sad when we couldn't find it! I need to see Gong Hyo Jin and Gong Yoo together! The cuteness!
