The Very
FOBULOUS
Daily News!!!!
Song Seung Hu and Son Ye Jin
are riveting in Summer Scent1 The biggest drawback to my newfound glory is that it has totally interrupted my meditations with Korean soaps. That’s the danger of discovering something this captivating right before a Mars launch.
2 Anyone else into them? Well the one that got me started was called Summer Scent. See that Korean boy and that Korean girl up at the top of the page? Well, she received a heart donation a few years back, the same time that his fiancee was hit by a car and killed. Needless to say, his fiancee’s heart went to her. But SHE was already engaged to a dickhead.
3 So when the dickhead calls on the boy to help him design a resort, fate brings these two together when both their hearts start beating…
4 The rest is so corny and filled with tears and bad music that you just keep popping the next episode into your DVD player and looking out at your garden everytime someone gets emo.
5 I walked in on this one and never came back. I found myself screaming at the television. “TELL HER!!! TELL HIM!!! GET LOST DICKHEAD!!!”
Ryu Jin as the dickhead
who turns into a great guy6 I was somewhere in the beginning of my third one when I had to stop watching, looking at flowers, listening to birds mingling with bad music, and go in for the interview.
7 And now…well, I’m STILL watching my third one! Haha! I don’t even remember what the second one was called, but the third one is called Stairway to Heaven, I think after the famous rock song, But I’m not sure. Actually I’m 99 % sure.
8 Anyway…they all are alike. We always see them as kids, and some sort of jewelry is exchanged. It always flashes back. Nobody EVER tells ANYONE how they really feel until around the sixteenth episode.
9 They LOVE each other, but NEVER kiss.
10 At some point, the guy who is left out takes up drinking, but it never goes anywhere. He just takes up drinking.
11 The love is always forbidden and looked down on by the rest of the people in the drama.
12 There’s always a comical couple.
13 It has shades of Shakespearean mood changes, and there is always some low-budget version of a famous American rock song all emo-ed out playing in the background.
14 If someone cries, it’s always one tear on a blink. Once in a while, a second one will drop down.
15 The performers are always beautiful looking, and vulnerable.
16 The secondary characters are also beautiful, but just a shade less beautiful.
17 Each episode always leaves you hanging.
18 You always wind up yelling, “TELL HER!” or “TELL HIM!”
19 You can find these on You Tube, but there’s a black market out there.
20 And that’s the way to enjoy your first day, by going home and watching a great Korean soap. It used to be a hard drink and a blended cigar. Now it’s a cup of green tea and a Korean soap.
21 You wind up wanting to go to Korea, or Taiwan.
22 And it’s a perfect way to waste time.
23 Try it.
24 I swear! That’s my plug!
25 Peace everybody.
Haha!!! GREAT stuff man!~H~
The DN is back!
