alexandral | Pick the stars: the end

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.
