Hello, I’m sure that any people unlucky enough to be reading this blog is already bored to death about how sick and tired I am of school, papers, and exams, but here I am, once again complaining. It’s depressing having to hole yourself up at home to force yourself to concentrate on school work. All work and no play makes for a very dull life. So ladies and gentlemen, without further delay, let us start on the countdown for my top 3 Korean dramas of 2012, because nothing makes me happier than indulging in one of my favourite pastimes.
3. Big
After The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince, Big is Gong Yoo‘s first drama after his discharge from mandatory military service. The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince was one of the first Korean dramas I ever watched, and it is one of my all-time favourites. Gong Yoo plays both Seo Yoon Jae, a doctor engaged to the leading female, Gil Da Ran (played by Lee Min Jung from Boys Before Flowers), and Da Ran’s student, Kang Kyung Joon. Because of a car accident, Kyung Joon awakens to find himself in the body of his teacher’s fiance, Yoon Jae. With only Da Ran who knows about the body switch, they try to figure out what to do next. Also, Suzy from miss A plays the obsessive friend of Kyung Joon. While the concept of soul and body mix-up is not by any means new, what made this drama one of my top favourites, the comedy and romance in it was very well done. It doesn’t hurt that Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung make a very pretty on-screen couple.
