Pick the stars: the end

[alexandral]

EEEEEEEE! I have been really really good this week, finishing my unfinished dramas as if there is no tomorrow! "Pick the Stars" was a very typical Korean family drama; it was as far from any reality as you can get, packed to the brim with clichés, stereotypes and family love, but did it all well and made you feel better about the world. Can you find anywhere in the world a rather low intelligence lazy girl who would turn into a shrewd hard-worker the minute her parents die (simultaneously, under the wheels of a lorry sent by evil relatives)? No, I don't think so. But at the same time – isn't it nice to see this transformation happening (overnight)? And isn't it nice to watch the bundle of evil secondary girls, lost grandchildren, awful mothers, transplants of something I didn't even know existed in human body and all such things, whist having a cup of tea and a cake?

Needless to say, I enjoyed "Pick the Stars". I just wish the number of Pal Kang's brothers and sisters was a little smaller as five was way too much and that we also had kissing scenes sooner; leaving the kissing until the end of the episode 19 was not at all acceptable. But the ending is ridiculously good and satisfying to the extreme.







Now I can watch "Cinderella's sister". :D

I didn't find the number of kids too high. I LOVED Pa-rang like I've never loved an onscreen fictional kid character before (trufax!). He's just too awesome. And I also liked how the girls were rooting (and obviously were crushing!) on the other guys: so adorable.

I loved Pa Rang too, and he is one of my fave on-screen kids too. But I think the whole number of children could have been cut down to 3: 1.Parang, 2.Baby (for the purposes of making the herouine's life really hard and also for transplant angst) 3. One girl (to crush on different people left right and centre).

His soulful eyes, omg1 *dreamy sigh*

** Sighs right next to you ** HE did the scenes of ANGST and DESPAIR really really well. :D

My only pet peeve? Jae Young. OMG I wanted to strangle her. I'm sure this was the effect she was supposed to have on me, but still, delusional much? insane much? alkdjalsj And of course there was a sudden change.

I kind of loved her insane self because - I like to hate secondary guys/girls from time to time, and I saw her transformation to goodness coming (because - family drama! Everyone must end up good and preferably hooked-up with a partner), but I am with you - her transformation was one of these totally roll-eye worthy unbelievable things.

Why do they all have to be good or less evil in the end?

I think it is the family drama thing - everyone must end up as a good person and repent at the end of the drama. I don't mind it too much.

He does that soooo well. He does most of his acting with his eyes, imho, and I love that. It's the kind of acting Bae Soo-bin does, too, and I love both to bits. *g*

Yeah, maybe, but sometimes I just want to see the villains getting punished for what they did. It only ever happens in revenge dramas, but even then it's not always the case.

Excuse me now, I have to go watch and fangirl my Bae Soo-bin in Dong-yi. :)
