| Oh boy! This is one of the best. The [US version by YA] is terrific. In fact had pre-ordered it.
I'm a movie junkie, and at the time I purchased this, I was a definite K-Drama fan. Let's say, I am experienced with the genre.
The story has some of the funniest material I've seen around. The cat/dog exchange enacted to the song, "Bang Bang He Shot Me Down", is so hilarious I almost fell off the bed watching it. I'd seen screen caps of the scene, but nothing compares with live action.
There is a dog in this show that deserves an Oscar. She's just great.
She's jolly, and good natured. I read a commentary written by the director describing how easy she was to work with. She is just a local girl, who could have imagined she had star quality?
He said, when they wanted her to sleep, all they had to do was feed her. She always crashed after a meal. Like I said, definite star quality.
There were several cats playing Princess. They couldn't remember their lines.
Oh Ji Ho is splendid in the opening scene. He plays it with a straight face for the most part, then with grit and determination later when he's underpaid for the job he's on. (He's a private contractor.)
I can't bring myself to divulge details. As I mention time and time again wherever I write, I hate spoilers.
There are scenes in this show involving water, a lot of it. Put on your life jacket, then sit back and laugh.
There's also a mole of interest, and I don't mean the furry animal. AND a great Oh Ji Ho nude scene that will break you up.
Oh Ji Ho always gets naked in his movies. I love a man you can depend on.
The cast is grand all around.
What a great love story! Lot's of longing a la K-Drama, ditto lots of tears, lots of laughs, and of course, a conniving woman you can hate with my blessings. No, it's not Ana. |
