LOVERS IN PARIS
a.k.a Pari Eh Yun In, Romance in Paris, Des Amoureux à Paris
The Cinderella-like story started in Paris, the city of lights, for about the first 4-5 episodes. It shows us the beauty and romance of the city, and lift up our mood and the atmosphere when we are watching the series ;) Once you start to watch the series, you won't left it (even for a while) until you finish them all.
Tae Young (KJE) is a Korean student working as a part time housekeeper at Ki Joo's (PSY) House in Paris. KJ is a perfectionist man who want everything is done just like what he want, while TY do things just like the way she thinks. No wonder, she's getting fired just after a couple of weeks working over KJ's house. Then, KJ finds out that TY comes from the same hometown with his prospective business colleague. He hires TY to be his girl friend. You'll see the two of them dance waltz in a beautiful chateau and it's so beautiful!!!
For some reasons, things don't go well and it makes TY and KJ end on a bad term in Paris. Afterwards, they make their own way back to Korea for their own business (TY: father’s death anniversary, KJ: Called up by his father)
The real story goes in Seoul, Korea when unfortunate events are always happened to TY, and KJ shows in a good timing as if he is her guardian angel ;)
Soo Hyuk (LDG) is a person who always back TY up when KJ don't. He's a nice, warmth and cheerful guy who can make everyone falling into him, you'll see a drastic change on his character in the movie. It makes him and the story goes much much exciting!!
Frankly, I'd say I don't like the ending of the movie! It's nice and sweet, but I want a bit longer ending which shows the couple in their wedding day, or at least shows us a sweet and romantic proposal!! Anyway, the ending is much vivid than Glass Picture though :P
IT'S A MUST WATCHED KDRAMA SERIES! 5 (out of 5) THUMBS UP :D
ps: after watching this series, I became an official Lee Dong Gun FANatic!! I crave for him :P

SWEET 18
a.k.a Nang Rang 18 Seh
I love this serial so much!!! Not only because the lead actor is Lee Dong Gun... but the story has a strong cultural background in it. We can learn load of thing from this serial about keeping our local wisdom as our values.
In this serial, I salute the young Koreans who embrace their culture. It's getting rare to see youth embracing their culture. Get along with the globalization, we often forget "who we are" and "where we come from". We are so into IT, Electronic and Cyberworld... and it often makes us into cyborg :P
In this movie we can learn a wise attitude, such as respect the elders, keeping responsibility to our family, learning wisdom from the traditional values and philosophy of life , keep chasing our dreams even it's just a simple and modest one, and even doing "intimate" relationship only with the one we really love (even if we have to wait until we really love him/her after the marriage :P).
Jung Sook (HJH) is an 18 year old girl who has just graduated from High School. Her only dream at that time is getting married to Hyuk Joon (LDG) soon after she found out that he's her first love. Their grandfathers arranged their marriage when HJ was 10 year old and JS just was born. For an unknown reasons, finally HJ agreed to the marriage, but with a pre-condition. Just like another kdrama which has the same theme, finally the couple really fall in love for each other. The story get twisted when HJ's ex-girl friend and sisters come back to Korea from overseas. I recommend this serial to you, this is another-must-watched-kdrama-series!! :D

LOVERS IN PARIS
a.k.a Pari Eh Yun In, Romance in Paris, Des Amoureux à Paris
20 Episodes, SBS TV (2004)The theme is just like another Korean Drama Series, Love Triangle, and the girl is the one in the powerless and poor role. But something makes this series is different from the other series, which make it one of the best korean drama series I've ever watched. Let's figure it out!
http://tv.sbs.co.kr/paris/
Genre: Romance Drama
Starring: Kim Jung Eun, Park Shin Yang, Lee Dong Gun etc.

SWEET 18
a.k.a Nang Rang 18 Seh
20 episodes, KBS TV (2004)The story reminds me of My Sassy Girl Chun Hyang and Full House. It's because of the "arranged" marriage and the ambience when I watched the series. The story flows so good, it's not too draggy or too short, the peak points is just where it should be...

Genre: Comedy Drama
Starring: Han Ji Hye, Lee Dong Gun
