![]() ![]() Throughout the drama, Sung Soo continues to do terrible things that hurt In Young, and although In Young has a man who will bend over backwards for her (Bae Sung Hyun, portrayed by Choi Jin Hyuk), she still chooses the cheater in the end. In it, the heroine Sunwoo In Young ( Jo Yeo Jung) is in the process of breaking up with her first boyfriend of ten years, Kim Sung Soo ( Kim Jung Hoon of Goong), who cheated on her with a much-younger girl. Though this drama was not widely-watched, I really loved it for its brutally honest depiction of love in the twenty-first century. However, many fans disagree with me and still to this day ship Minam and Shin Woo.Ī similar case is the recent tvN drama I Need Romance. Personally I thought Shin Woo was a bit of a boring character, and it did not help that Yong Hwa is a much better singer than he is an actor. The kind, nice guy just can’t ever get a break! Kang Shin Woo (played by Jung Yong-hwa) was the perfect guy - sweet, caring, thoughtful, talented - but he was rejected in favor of Tae Kyung, to the chagrin of many viewers. ![]() The snobby male protagonist is a character that reoccurs again and again in Korean dramas, and he almost always wins out. He’s often very callous and insensitive to the feelings of others. Hwang Tae Kyung ( Jang Geun-suk) was arrogant, rude, jealous, and self-indulgent. ![]() Noted that this article will undoubtedly spoil the ending if you have not seen the following dramas – You’re Beautiful, I Need Romance, Boys Over Flowers, and Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy. The secondary guy character is usually the one who doesn’t get the girl, and sometimes angry fangirls will bash the heroine for picking the ‘wrong guy.’ I will divulge some of my own thoughts and I want you to share your opinions on when you think she (the heroine from every Korean drama ever produced) picked the wrong guy. She lets the ‘right’ guy slip from her grasp and picks the other guy. However, sometimes we don’t fall in love with the same guy the heroine does. But that’s perhaps the best part of dramas – we watch dramas because the romantic in us wants a perfect romance that we might not be able to find in real life. We use Korean dramas as a means of escape, and many times we fall in love just as the heroine in dramas do. ![]()
