dangermousieSomebody talk me out of checking out I am sorry I love you (MISA).
MISA is a super-super famous, super-super popular Korean drama from a few years ago. It's also so depressing, by the sound of it, that it makes What Happened in Bali seems like a joyful walk through the park (I've seen Vic Zhou's Silence compared to it, and if you were around when I watched Silence, you remember that a. I cried like a baby and b. I skipped all the middle part because I was too upset).
MISA stars So Ji Sub (does he ever get to live in his dramas? Seriously. This, Bali, and his upcoming one, Cain and Abel, which I really want to see, but he plays a mob assassin, so I don't think he has good living prospects in that one) and Im Soo Jung.
But the story sounds like such emo crack. As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitsune714 put it, it's all these horrible things happening at once to this one very good-looking woobie (paraphrase).
Our poor hero:
(1) He was abandoned by his parents as a kid. Now he is in Australia, as a small-time scam artist.
(2) He meets our adorable heroine, Song Eun Chae, when she in Australia with her long-time friend and crush, a Korean singer (who doesn't see her that way). The heroine gets robbed and SJS saves her and returns all her stuff and she spends the night with him (not that way).
(3) At an ex-gf's wedding, our poor hero is shot in the head (!!!!!!!) by accident. It can't really be removed, so he has only a year to live.
Let's sum it up: he is an ex-gangster, he is dying, and his gf married someone else. Think it's going to get better? Nope.
(4) He goes to Korea to find parents who abandoned him. His mother is a famous actress who has a son who is...the Korean singer in (2).
(5) He decides to plan and bring revenge on them but he falls in love with Eun Chae, instead.
Did I mention that his 'brother' needs a heart transplant? This is pure, pure, pure crack.
I mean, we have evil families, heroic and doomed hero, revenge, angsty love etc etc? Perfect.lesbiassparrow, this promises to be chock-full of screaming manpain. Are you in?
Here is a MV:
