The curious case of Big...

[dangermousie]

Big is all sorts of cute (and miles better than the shrill horror that was Best Love) and makes me giggle but I am left emotionally uninvolved. Perhaps it's that while I liked Daran/Kyung Joon, I don't go for Daran/KJ in YJ's body at all. I don't think the leads have much chemistry, but also, this is just not the vibe I get - it's more of a 'he's a lonely boy who needs a family and she'd be a great older sister.' I am not feeling more from either of them and that's a bit of a problem.

I really WANT to love "Big"... but I can't.

I love Gong Yoo's acting, I love the story, I love the kid.... but I despise the heroine. Everytime she's on screen I want to punch her. She has the IQ of a jellyfish and the emotional maturity of a 5 year old. Gosh, won't someone shoot her?
Even Mari, even though she's played by an emotionless robot, is loads better than her.

Hate the heroine and feel no emotional connection to the story. Probably if the heroine wasn't so dumb and childish we'd get some more mature love vibes.

Also, is it just me or did the beginning of the drama remind you of "Majo no Jouken"? When he took her on the motorcycle to comfort her. Except, you know, "Majo no Jouken" was loads better than this.

Yes, it made me think of MnJ but I was obsessed with MnJ and this is...pleasant but unmemorable.

I am OK enough with Daran (let's face it, it's Hong Sisters, they haven't done a smart/powerful heroine in years) but the whole thing is kinda a pleasant blah...
