---> KING of HIGH SCHOOL

yet another drama that i am watching simply because it is a TVN production^^ i may not always go ga-ga over every drama that they produce but what i always look forward to is how they are going to surprise me each and every time. now,  with a lame plot where the male lead*a high school kid* has to pretend to be his brother*a company executive*,  i'm asking myself..."why are you even considering watching this drama?"
i have no answer to that one except maybe... sometimes, i'm pretty lame myself!

 

i have to confess though that as early as the 1st episode i already like the male lead^^ ahhh,  who is this kid???  there's something about him and the way he looks and carries himself that i totally dig.  when he smiles his eyes are like that of someone who is about to get into a naughty mischief and when he's mad his eyes are menacing in a way that penetrates your soul.  he's perfect for that role... cute but somewhat brutish teenager with raging hormones.  the way he grabbed the lead girl on the streets and kissed her that one night...  then in ep11 when he called the lead girl noona in the elevator... and in ep12 when they got back together,  the way he hugged her outside his school... kid, that was so sweet.

i have a serious and i mean SERIOUS problem with the lead girl... her hideous hairstyle that has to be disheveled at all times to further piss me off... those unflattering specs that sits on the tip of the bridge of her nose that looks like it's about to fall at any time... does she get up from bed in the morning and just tie her hair at her nape without at least running a comb throught it?  and, while her fashion sense doesn't leave much to be desired most of the time*ahjumma dresses and socks with shoes /sandals, urgh*,  my bigger problem is the way she speaks is totally dreadful, her geeky manner,  and her personality coupled with her dorky posture that spells L O S E R in all-caps! ohmaigattttt... having described her like that,  HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU CONVINCE ME THAT OUR MALE LEAD CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH HER??? she looks and acts so pathetic the only way anyone would give her a 2nd look is out of pity!  and please, im not being mean,  it's the reality people, THE REALITY!

When a guy gets jealous when he has no rights whatsoever to be... that's my favorite situation in every rom-com. But here, instead of me enjoying those scenes, i couldn't bring myself to watch it i had to reach for the fast forward *Orz*

So, i was about done with episode7 and that's when the kiss happened*the pic above*, the hug was in ep6 and i'm debating with myself if i should... If i could continue watching this.  I couldn't watch the kiss it was sooo awkward for me *Orz*  just saw the preview of ep9 and i dunno if i have to prepare my tummy for some major vomiting.  They were acting all lovey dovey and sh*t... I dont think i can take it. Oh, oh, oh... Did i forget to mention that aside from all my complaints above there's also this little matter about our male lead still in high school and that he is 10 yrs younger than our female lead? I did forget didn't i?  Mr or Ms Writer of this drama,  couldn't you have at least made our female lead a little bit more visually palatable to your average viewer?  had you made our female lead a little more likable by doing away with some of the things that drives me off the wall as i stated above, it doesn't have to be all, just some, then i'm sooo ok with the 10yr age gap... really!  the woman is actually pretty*see the pic below*.  i know she's not suppose to be pretty in this drama but did you have to make her look and sound that bad*Orz*

what's even more frustrating is that, i love almost everything about the love story part.  all the scenes... the dialogues... and the lead guy... he did sooo well... the way he hugs her, and kiss her and stares at her... ahhh,  i feel like an over-protective older sister watching her younger brother fall for the wrong chick! i just can't get over that "mismatch" of epic proportions!!! just look at the 2 pics below and tell me, do you see those 2 getting together in a romantic way, even in your nightmares???  eeewww right? *Orz*

despite all my complaints and rants,  there may be some of you who may be tickled pink at the thought of this odd pair falling for each other and all that.  by all means, i'd recommend it for you for your viewing pleasure.  it's well made, even i am interested to know how the story will end.  its just for me, as far as the love story is concerned,  i will ALWAYS CLICK ON THE FAST FORWARD BUTTON SPECIALLY AFTER HOW THE PICTURE BELOW CAME ABOUT.  excuse me ladies and gentlemen while i find myself a good size brick and smash it on my head*for finishing the drama*... and an even bigger brick for the writer's head*for writing the stupid wedding as it is...Orz*  no matter how cute and funny and realistic the arguments of the people around them were written, IT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT HE IS STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL.*bwahahaha...i'm sooo affected^^*  i guess it's for shock value huh writernim?  well congratulations, you did not only succeed in shocking me, you also succeeded in annoying me at the same time*Orz*

if after watching this drama you agree with what i wrote here or if you think i'm just being petty and shallow... I leave that up to you. TO EACH HIS OWN BABY!  ^^
