Smile, You @ episode 12

I did not recall watching any drama with so many annoying characters. But just like the title it carries, the drama still made me smile ^^.

I know I had posted an introduction of Smile You but allow me to re-do the synopsis of the drama so far *wink*.

*********************************************

The drama started with a bride (Lee Min Jeong as Seo Jeong-In) being dumped on her way to her honeymoon after her in laws learned that her family had gone under. Felt angry and deceived by her parents, she decided to seek for her family's ex-chauffeur whom she called as haraboji (grandfather) rather than going home.

At the same time, Kang Hyeon Soo (by Jung Kyung Ho) who is the grandson of the ex-chauffeur came back from the State. JeongIn stayed at haraboji's house then later joined by the rest of the household when the Seo family found that they had really lost EVERYTHING. Thing gets complicated when HyeonSoo learned that the girl that he had crush on, JeongKyeong (by Choi Jeong Yoon) for EIGHT YEARS was also a daughter of his haraboji's master. In other words, she's JeongIn's eonni. To make matter worst, Mr. Kang's first crush (Hyeon Soo's father) was Jeong In and Jeong Kyeong's mother (Mrs. Seo).

When this two families live under the same roof, who had different background and way of living, things become hard to endure for both party. But the story just gets more exciting.

*********************************************

What's to expect?
A love triangle between this three.

Although JeongKyeong had told HyeonSoo that she's not interested with him and she's seeing another man, I believed that now she getting a little bit jealous when HyeonSoo who had been following her back for the past eight years had his concern/interest now on JeongIn (her own little sister).

However, JeongKyeong can sulk all she wants because I will be supporting these two.

As my feeling went well with almost all the roles, this man could probably be the MOST ANNOYING of them all!! You really don't want a husband nor a father like he is! Yes, meet the master of worst-of-them-all, Mr. Seo (by Seo Jeong Gil).

While Mr. Seo still looking for a way to get easy money (not by working of course), his whole family are changing (although I am still sceptical about the son behaviour). Jeong In decided to pay a debt by working at her ex-husband company (which also where HyeonSoo worked at). I believe this is just a way of the writers to spark more romance and jealously issue between the two of them.

JeongIn is in the midst of filling the questionnaire. Now, why had I never thought of this before? ^^

Smile You is expected to have 50 episodes so a slow pace plot is expected. At this point, the level of annoyance is still succeed at being CUTE so I am trying to hang on to this ^^

Smile, You @ episode 3

Another romantic comedy drama on the way adding my piling list of "ongoing watch' kdramas. At episode 3, the drama was quite enjoyable. Yes, QUITE is the right word for now. It did not turned me to gaga-mode like You're Beautiful did. At least I had something to enjoy during the weekdays while waiting for thy truly coming back home from work late at night.

• Description as taken from KoreanDrama:
  

  Seo Jung In (Lee Min Jeong) is the second daughter of a chaebol family, whose family suddenly meets financial ruin. She is dumped by her husband, Lee Han Se, after their wedding ceremony when his family finds out about her family’s financial problems. Her family is then forced to move in with their longtime chauffeur’s family. The once rich and spoiled daughter and her family must now learn how to adjust to life as commoners in the Kang household.

**************************************

While getting to know this drama, I somehow thought of a manga I read (I forgot the title, it's been a while) which the story line somehow resembled each other. In other words; a once rich family that went bankrupt, had to go tru a normal life, somehow ended with the ex-chauffeur's family, descendants fell in love on each other... and so on. The manga however had a sweeter version since there were memories between each of the hero + heroin along with more funnier side to how they get along when they grew up later (I'm hopeless towards manga so I should stop talking now...*sigh*).

As for Smile, You ...the grandpa/ex-chauffeur is a very frugal man that they're moments I pitied the mother/his daughter-in-law.

Lee Min Jeong did a good job as the annoying-spoiled rich girl along with a lovable side.

I however had problem with all the actors lined up. Is it just me or did all the boys in the drama is skinny? I don't really realised that until the scene where HyunSoo (by Jung KyungHo) was in his boxer, and am started thinking... such a skinny thigh. You just can't ignore that since he's in the boxer ya! I'm beginning to see characters' images from manga being brought to life = pretty faces with such a skinny figures.

Due to that, somehow...... at one point... I miss Lee MinHo *sigh*.
