My fever over Korean dramas are still not so over...I think I could never get enough of them. I just love their language and I could already understand and speak a few words quite well...Sa-rang-hae-yo! After 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'drama, there was another Korean drama blues over 'Cruel Love' (or aka Bad Love), a twisted but interesting love story that could make you cry. Unbelievably, even my husband watched it, joining me & my sister, Debbie every night from Mon - Thurs. We family are so into Korean dramas or even their food for that matter (talking about kimchi & bimbimbap) nowadays. But the drama ended it's last epi last week and again...why Koreans can't do any better & satisfying ending for their dramas (geez)? Anyways, the ending was just ok - the couple did end up together but in an un-romantic way (sigh!).
Here's a brief synopsis of the drama:
Na In Jung (played by Lee Yo-won) struggles with her love between the rather cold and rebellious Yong Ki (by Kwon Sang-woo) and a successful businessman, Soo Hwan (by Kim Seong-soo). Kang Yong Ki is a pop culture artist. He was separated from his first love, Jo Ann, and still carries the wound that he suffered from their relationship. His half sister is Joo Ran who is married to Soo Hwan. Soo Hwan begins an affair with In Jung but he only has ambition for the CEO position of Yong Ki's father's company. Soon after he discovers that his ambition does not fill the emptiness that he has inside and realizes he needs In Jung. But In Jung and Yong Ki have already fallen in love with each other. Will In Jung go back to her first love or stay with Yong Ki?
They say there is nothing else you could wish for as long as you are in love. But people tend to expect quite a lot from those they love. They say pride does not matter when you are in love, but many lovers break up because their self-esteem is hurt. They say love alone will do when you are in love, but we eventually keep turning our eyes to the demands of reality. They say love has no reasons, but people always love for a reason. Maybe that's why God bestowed love to humans as the biggest punishment for their greed. A bad and wicked love...
Here's one of the music soundtrack from the drama - and again, Koreans are SO good in doing ballads and I particularly love this one:
