Same bones, almost the same flesh, different skin.
Don't be alarmed. This post is not as serious as it sounds. I'm just writing about the K drama serial My Girl. (Now on Channel 55 on weekends)
Funny, all the shows I've watched are really just variations of the same basic storyline. Rich, young man already has his heart set on someone. Enter funny/bumbling/poor but kind girl who is in financial difficulties (invariably because of her family). Enter also another guy waiting in the wings for her. My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Full House, Goong, and even the dark Memories of Bali all revolve around this same set-up.
Nevertheless, I quite enjoy My Girl. The lies are well-woven into the scenes, some of which just made me laugh so hard.
These are the two guys in the fray. No fight, right?I've read many good reviews about his role in The King and the Clown but Lee Joon-ki (on the right), who acted as the clown, was overshadowed by the main lead (on the left), who I think is also a better actor than Hyun Bin (male lead in Sam Soon).
Well, I shall be following the story every Saturday (thankfully, there are only 16 episodes), and if you don't have to fight with people watching EPL on Saturday nights, you might want to as well.
I'm also looking forward to the real Australian Open, which will open very shortly. Too bad, Henman and Justine Henin-Hardenne will not be playing. There is a rather unfortunate rumour going round the Internet about why Justine isn't playing...

The old girlfriend of the leading man is supposed to be a tennis star (she was called Korea's Sharapova!) and was supposed to have won the Australian Open!
She just doesn't look like a tennis champion, though she is very pretty.Well, I shall be following the story every Saturday (thankfully, there are only 16 episodes), and if you don't have to fight with people watching EPL on Saturday nights, you might want to as well.
