Every time I have wanted to write I was too tempted by loverly sleep. Dern school taking over my life.

I have to gush about a new favorite Korean drama I have been drooling over. I was talking about it to my sister, who actually watches Asian dramas on her own (and she credits me for introducing her to some of the dramas she loves...awww I love you too Mar!). And I was all smiles. And she asked what happens in the show. My answer was that nothing really happens. It is a simple romantic comedy and I am loving it!

I heard about the drama through another blogger and I had to give it a try after that. It reminds me of my favorite Korean dramas that have just been about a woman falling in love. Dal Ja's Spring and 9 End 2 Outs are good examples.

Love & Marriage is about a woman and man finding new love after being cast aside by their former lovers.

As I said, nothing much really happens. It does not mean that this is a boring show. It is so incredibly cute and funny. The characters are all endearing, even if some of them are jerks.

Lee Kang Hyun (Kim Min Hee) is a couple manager, getting paid to set people up. She gets cocky and soon meets her downfall. Kang Hyun, after awhile, becomes less annoying and grows on me. I think she learned her lesson after getting dumped, fired and fined. Enough punishment to satisfy me. Haha. But really she has this cute air about her, and she reminds me of my cousin (the same one I compared to a Gokusen boy!). I like that she doesn't have perfectly groomed eyebrows and her hair is a frizzy mess. Her fashion sense is questionable too, because she sometimes reminds me of my Mum and the way she dresses. But even so she is can be very lovable.

Park Hyun Soo (Kim Ji Hoon) is the handsome and very single divorce lawyer. Aaahh! I can't take it! Ji Hoon is just too cute. And I love his cheeks! Some near nakki (aka naked. My sisters love saying nakki...so it sorta stuck with me) pics have been floating around...he posed in some magazine so no they are not like our dear Vanessa HO-gens' pics. Well I should move on to his character Hyun Soo. Wah, this guy is basically prince charming. Damns I wish my life was a Korean drama, of the comical variety por supuesto.

I have been trying to locate some dramas of Ji Hoon's with subs...I may I have to live without them if I really want to watch more of his dramas though. I have been avoiding I Came in Search of Flowers because it looked kinda dull, I should give it a try though now that I know a certain person is in it. Bwahahaha.

Yin Kyung Hwan (Park Ki Woong) is the nerdy, but very cute, younger man that dumped our heroine. Everyone had referred to them as husband and wife, but being very pressured and fed up Kyung Hwan moved on. A bit too quickly though for Kang Hyun who had hopes of them making up, until she spotted him with a new woman.

Due to juicy circumstances Kyung Hwan ends up having to deal with Kang Hyun around work. Haha, I just love it! Well, The two pretend they know each other from school, hiding the fact that they had dated from co-workers. The fun part is their bickering and Kyung Hwan's jealously of Kang Hyun's relationship with our cutie lawyer. Kyung Hwan's pouting is so cute!

Seo Hwa Young (Yoon Se Ah) is Hyun Soo's clingy ex-wife. This woman has been unable to move on and still loves her man. She relishes the fact that he has trouble finding love...she is a sicko. Even though they are apart she wants to be his "friend" and wants to know everything going on in his life. Jeez.

I gathered that the two split because of Hyun Soo's brother problems involving money and loan sharks. Plus Hwa Young's angry mother seems to be a possible reason or at least a result.

I wish I had tons more to say. All I can say that it is a very sweet and warmhearted drama. I love it a lot...well I love more than the show. Heh heh heh...Ji Hoon! I want to watch the all the episodes I watched thus far all over again. I highly recommend it!!!
