Thank you so so much to everyone reccing "Gloria" – I am deeply and fully back into Korea drama love! This drama is made by the same folks who produced "Family Honor" and not surprisingly it gives me the same feeling "Family’s honor" did. I love it’s cosy world (the drama is supposed to be about harsh realities of life but I feel so comforted by it’s world I want to live in it), I obsess over it’s delicious romance stories and I adore almost every single character, elderly and children included. I adore both couples, Jin Jin/Kang Suk and Dong Ah/Yoon Seo, but also I like Kang Suk’s irascible mother , the invincible lady manager, the perm-haired club owner and especially Jae Hwan, new re-incarnation of the cute under-cook from "Pasta". The only two characters I hate are Yoon Seo’s possessive mother (your daughter doesn’t belong to you, you crazy person) and Kang Suk’s evil step-mother (but I have a little tiny flick of pity for her). Oh, and I loathe Kang Suk’s pervy alcoholic brother.

But mostly, because I am shallow, and also because I loved and wept for Man Oh in "Conspiracy in the Court", I love Lee Chun Hee and his portrayal of Dong Ah. I have great hopes for the writers of Gloria (so far they only produced happy and life-affirming stories) , so I hope Dong Ah has much happiness coming towards him. Wake up, Dong Ah!

In the meantime, the drama also has it’s priorities straight and in the episode 2 we had Dong Ah shirtless for no apparent reason:

just in case you want to see another version of this )

And the fact that Kang Suk is regularly prone to angsty shirtless fighting and other forms of shirtless angsting doesn’t hurt as well Shirtless and semi-shirtless angst )

PS: I have sailed through 10 episodes really fast and I am so going to enjoy every episode left. The subtitles are coming nice and quick, apparently, so YAY!
