Welcome

Hi, glad you came here. I really don't intend for this to become something big, it's just a little thing i've always wanted to do. I thought it would be a nice little place for me to write the thoughts about the dramas i watch so i not only forget em, but it makes it easier to tell other people waht i think about them. If there's a drama i haven't written about that you think I should, e-mail me about it and let me know, i'm always open to suggestions. Welcome and i hope you enjoy your visit here.

Witch Yoo Hee



Alright, today's topic of interest, Witch Yoo Hee, yet another drama i had put off until recently xD. Jae Hee stars in this one also, he was also in Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, which i commented on earlier, in fact a few people were in this one, including people from DelightFul Girl Choon Hyang, some even having similar roles in relation to Jae Hee, among other characters who also were in My Girl (makes sense, same director, and 2 of em had the same screenwriters, and all 3 aired on the same network, SBS)
Ok, so what do we have here in Witch Yoo Hee. We have, Han Ga In, who's drop dead gorgeous btw, playing the role of Ma Yoo Hee, CEO of an advertising company owned by her father, the President of a big super corporation. She's known to be a ruthless witch, but deep down inside she wants to love and be loved and has gone on several blind dates and matchmaking meetings (aww isn't that cute, rought exterior but a soft interior....:\) We have Jae Hee plays Chae Moo Ryong, a dropout medical student who now wants to be a french chef, but doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut and thus is currently out of a job. on a side note, they obviously don't have much creativity, Jae Hee's character name in Delightful Girl Choon Hyand was LEE Moo Ryong.
Anyway, the two first meet at a blind date session that Moo Ryong is going to at the request of a friend who threatens to tell his mom that he dropped out if he doesn't go. Yoo Hee tried hard to succeed this time but was too fake, and the two get off to a rough start and leave on bad terms. Later, coincidentally, Moo Ryong is on a delivery for his father who owns a restaurant when he has an accident with none other than Yoo Hee.
To repay his debt, he agrees to be her housekeeper, which had bee a problem for her to keep a constant one with her picky attitude. He also ends up becoming her love coach and they make a contract (oh noes another contract, classic hint at things to come). They agree to pretend to be in a relationship so that she can know how one feels like and what to do in certain situations of a relationship. He changes alot about her, including her fashion, getting her to cut her hair, and fixes her manners and such. But of course with the classic contract and fake relationship going, of course there's going to be romance that blossoms between them. With this romance comes the obstacles, for one, the fact that Moo Ryong has a girlfriend already, and the head chef at the restaurant he works with, his girlfriend's restaurance, happens to be an acquaintance of Yoo Hee. There is also the thing between Yoo Hee and a previous upperclassman of hers, getting his attention was the reason she began the fake relationship to begin with. There is also the disapproving dad who tries to break them up and meddle in his daughters' affairs, among other small little tidbits that come up during the course of the drama.
The insert songs, put simply, started off ok, but quickly became annoying to hear all the time. Seeing Jae Hee in another drama and smooching another cute girl kinda irked me and made me a bit jealous wondering how he managed to land those roles. The plot was cute, but rather simple, with not much strength in the plot, it could have been a bit better plot-wise, but the plot itself didn't leave much room for that. Regardless, it was a nice little romance story, wasn't that bad, it's for the romantic crowd tho, not the soap opera complex storyline group :)
