I Do, I Do

I have very conflicted feelings about I Do, I Do. It was just up and down. Just when it started to look like I was letting itself get carried away with their relationship after all, I found myself getting bored after a while. And it went on and on. Jang-woo Lee was passable, but Seon-ah Kim didn't fit him at all. In fact, I found that I don't think I like her as an actress. The script was as worn out as an old record, and aside from a few nice romantic scenes, it sucked. So the best part of this whole thing was probably Soo-hyang Lim and the main character's appealing dad. Once was enough. 2.5 stars. (02/03/2015)

This cute series worked out well for my taste. I know when I started watching it, some 7 episodes were already out, and I sucked them down like a raspberry – it was a nice show and I never felt bored with it. Even just that bed scene when they got up “the morning after", awesome, no freaking out. In episode 7 I was very taken with the cart he was pushing her around in like his shopping, it seemed terribly out of place in such a series (the cart reappears full of flowers in episode 13, in case anyone was wondering :-D). There were cute scenes, nothing was particularly insane – well, except maybe her obsession with shoes, unbelievable how much! There were scenes that had me in stitches, laughing; for example, the "Ajusshi, be ambitious" scene in episode 14 was brilliant, or the gay scene in the restaurant in episode 15. I also really liked that the main character was adamant, strict, and didn't whine. Finally, after a long time, I’ve encountered a really strong heroine; that makes me very happy. The doctor who was wooing her got the message right away and she didn't bother him too much, which also impressed me very positively. And the baby's father... such a cutie for the ladies. ;-) When I first heard the theme song I kept wondering what it reminded me of... in the middle of the series I finally remembered – Heartstrings! So the music wasn't anything too original, but who needs that when they like the rest of it? It had its quirks and weaker moments here and there, but it was still a very enjoyable show. A better 4 stars. (07/20/2012)
