Korean Drama: Personal Taste

I realized that I blogged nothing much about myself but more on entertainment nowadays. Last night I finally done watching 16 epis of the Korean drama 'Personal Taste' online. This week I made myself crazy of not having enough sleep because of this. But it's worth watching - its a romantic comedy drama with lots of humor, some intimate kissing moments and a few sad scenes towards the last 3 epis, and at least this time the ending is better. It was also a pretty inspiring story about the value of true friendship, trust and love. And again, love the ballads in the OST. Check out Kim Tae Woo with 'Dropping Rain'. And thumbs up to both main actor & actress - excellent acting!

The drama behind the scenes:


Synopsis: Kae In lives with Jin Ho whom she thinks is gay. Jin Ho is straight but pretending to be gay. Jin Ho falls in love with Kae In. Kae In is confused. This, in a nutshell, is the plot of Personal Taste, a thoroughly endearing comedy starring two of Korea's brightest stars. Lee Min Ho, superstar for his breakout role in 2009's smash hit Boys Over Flowers, finally returns to dramas in the illustrious company of film and drama staple Son Ye Jin (A Moment to Remember, Summer Scent) in this quirkily-themed drama. Park Kae In (played by Son Ye Jin), a furniture designer and the daughter of a famous architect, is kind, impulsive, and a complete slob in her personal habits. Naive and trusting, she's stayed with the same man, Chang-ryul, for years, ignoring all the poor treatment she's received at his hands. When he dumps her in the worst possible circumstances, she's heartbroken, and determined to never take a chance on a man again. Enter Jeon Jin Ho (Lee Min Ho), straightlaced (and straight) architect who needs to scout out her house for his latest business deal. After Kae In takes him as gay during an early encounter, Jin Ho sees his opportunity and decides to pretend to be gay in order to move in with her. Once there, he gradually embarks on a mission to make over the inveterate tomboy/slob, but in all the mayhem of the makeover and hiding his true orientation, the unexpected happens and the perfectionist architect begins to fall for her. What will happen when the man who's pretending to be gay and the woman who thinks he's gay develop feelings for each other?


The sweet neck kiss


I love 'Park Kae In' hairstyle and dress here - she look so sweet!



I love how the used colours and creative props on the set

Copied these subtitled wordings at the ending part of the drama which I find sweet and meaningful:

'Park Kae In' words: "It won't be a life where everyday is clear & mild. But even if a pitch black darkness passes, where nothing can be seen. If this man and I are together, I feel like can muster up the courage and continue walking."

'Jeon Jin Ho' words: "I raced ahead up to now without rest. But I was always that child that circled around the same spot. But after meeting this woman, I learned that occasionally stopping to reflect would allow me to go further."
