calixaand lesbiassparrowtold me to, so I shall, though it's possible that several I hope to watch soon will shake it up. No pics or MVs from me though, I'm afraid.calixaand lesbiassparrowtold me to, so I shall, though it's possible that several I hope to watch soon will shake it up.

The last few days, I have been bingeing of Fantasy Couple, the kdrama based on the 80s movie, Overboard. It is almost too good for words.
The plot (with some liberties taken, as they have to turn a movie less than 2 hours long into a 16 hour show) is about Anna, an American raised Korean woman(who, incidentally, actually DOES have English as good as the characters praise it as being) who's filthy rich, insane arrogant, and has no caring whatsoever about the feelings of others. She crosses paths several time with Chul Soo, a money pinching handyman. Each encounter ends badly, of course, and involves things like hitting him in the head with a shovel (she thought he was a serial killer) driving off with his head stuck in her car window (he stuck it in to yell at her over the shovel head bashing...) mutual petnapping, and finally, kicking him and his tools off her boat and into the ocean. He gets his chance at payback, though, when he finds her in the hospital with amnesia. He claims that she's his lover and takes her home to work off the money she owes him by taking care of his house and three nephews.
The leads, Han Ye Seul and Oh Ji Ho, have some of the best chemistry-comedic and otherwise-that I've seen and make two characters that should be difficult and unlikable fun and endearing from start to finish, and the supporting cast is great and quirky. While the other Song Sisters drama I've seen, My Girl is better in terms of drama and romance, Fantasy Couple is the better comedy of the two, and I think I like Anna and Chul Soo as a couple more than I do Yu Rin and Gong Chan(and I liked YR and GC a lot)
Lots of pics and text under the cut.
Also, has anyone been following or heard feedback on Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung?

calixahas warned me this is what will happen, and 9/5 times out of 10 we share a dorama brain. I am open to suggestions for anything you think or know I have.calixahas warned me this is what will happen, and 9/5 times out of 10 we share a dorama brain.
