Ojakgyo Brothers - chicken soup for Mousie's soul...

[dangermousie]

After seeing flistie after flistie succumb to it, I finally caved in as well and started Ojakgyo Brothers, the currently airing hit family drama about a family who discovers that the farm they have been living on actually is just a temporary loan, and the diseased owner's daughter (Uee) moves into the house which already had grandma, mom, dad and four sons.

Family dramas are usually ridiculously lengthy beasts (this one is 58 episodes!) and so I am always very picky with starting one. But this one is so cute!!!! Five episodes in, I am in love.



Well, let me modify that. I am in love with the whole concept (because it has barely started) of Joo Won's hot-tempered, scruffy cop and Uee's grieving-yet-optimistic former rich girl. I mean!!! They first meet when he mistakenly arrests her for forging good. And they have so much chemistry in every scene. OMG.

Have an adorable MV:

So far, Joo Won is two for two for big hits where he's my favorite character. Heeeee.

Oh, I am also interested in Ryu Su Young character.

The young duo have so much chemistry, just wait until you get to the angsty parts - I think you are going to love this. Joo Won's character has some angsty past 9just saying :D)

I didn't like any of the parents in this series and ff them a lot, but all the young couples were lovely. I also liked the older brother (the guy from "Capital Scandal") and his lady's story and even warmed up to the youngest bro.

Ooooh, there are angsty parts? I loved his angsting in Baker King so mmmmm......

Yeah, all the parents are horrible. I think we are supposed to like the brothers' parents and grandma but they are awful people.

The older brother - I like him. He's so odd :)

Btw, I don't know if Qing get-up is a deal-breaker for you, but if you are looking for amazing cdramas, Bu Bu Jing Xin is to die for. It stars Liu Shi Shi and is very woman-centric but with great male characters. In case you are curious, this is a shippy (and spoilery) MV for it...



It's pretty much the most gorgeous drama I've ever seen.

Do they not have the most AMAZING, sparkly chemistry? Seriously it blew my mind how they could have chemistry just from being in the same space together. Also, you are in for such a treat because about two-thirds of the way through the series they develop the most AWESOME angst ever. Unfortunately it doesn't last that long but it is the most delicious kind of angst and I promise you there are certain scenes you will LOVE. So glad you started this.

Also: Joo Won. <3 After this it's official, he's one of my favorite actors. You've heard he's taking the lead in this right? http://www.dramabeans.com/2012/01/joo-won-takes-the-lead-in-bridal-mask/ SO EXCITED

They are so shippy and addictive and awesome.

And yes, I heard about the bridal mask and omg, it sounds like period City Hunter! Just please, tptb, give him a good OTP! Hes fast becoming one of my all-time favorite actors.

it sounds like period City Hunter that's exactly what I thought! I'm a sucker for superhero/masked vigilante stories, especially with good casting, so plan to eat this up with a spoon. Now please God let them cast someone good. I'm not worried he won't have chemistry with whoever it is - he's had amazing chemistry with all his female leads so far - but I just want to lIKE her.

Yeah, my list of actresses I dislike is small so I am hoping they don't cast them (Gu Hye Sun, stay awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!)
