I decided to merge all my Sungkyunkwan Scandal posts together!
So I can keep the posts which really, really only have one main focus *blush* on my blog a little longer when I update my blog =)

And so more people can admire him longer as well. =)

So, next to my next kdrama.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho/我的女友是九尾狐

The script's written by the Hong Sisters, the same people who wrote the script for You're Beautiful. So expect it to be quite a light-hearted, nice drama =)

Hmm, personally, I think it's a nice enough drama. But somehow it doesn't have the same drawing power as You're Beautiful.

Maybe it's just not as hilarious, the characters not as eye-catching, the plot not as attention-drawing?

Or perhaps it just doesn't have Hwang Taek Kyung in the show.

I think, this character is really quite the epitome of the whole 偶像剧 syndrome, no matter which country the 偶像剧 is produced in.

For me, well, Sungkyunkwan Scandal's Moon Jae Shin got me 花痴ing over him, but I can only stare in awe at Hwang Taek Kyung. No other words than 'awe' can fit him better. Even though the YB craze has subsided for me, well, HTK craze certainly hasn't. Not like I love him to bits, but somehow his image will pop up in my mind and I'll want to look out for this character/this type of character in every drama I watch.

Though, thinking of the more practical side - if there's ever such a person like him in my life, I think I won't be able to stand him for even a day, what with his haughty but cute attitude, his weird yet interesting insistence on particular stuff and his eccentricities. He's a super complicated character in himself, yet his actions are ever so captivating (or maybe it's because Jang Geun Suk really really made a superb job for playing this character like what Yoo Ah In did for Moon Jae Shin?).

Not that he's my favourite character in YB too, I like Jeremy better =)

Which reminds me to return to the topic again. Jeremy's appearance in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho's last episode was so surprising and welcoming! =)

Oh yah, Go Mi Nyeo also appear in the drama toom - as the male protagonist, Cha Dae Woong's junior!

Well, but the appearance of these two characters points to one thing - perhaps the drama is trying to catch on to the YB effect in hope of trying to gain more viewership? This is what I feel, personally, a rather unwise move: why include successful characters from past dramas into the new drama? It sort of makes the whole drama appear somewhat lame, like the producers have no confidence that this drama will be able to succeed the YB syndrome.

Whether this tactic can really make the drama more appealing to people, I have no idea (because I didn't really look up the statistics).

Well, in conclusion, this drama's a cute enough drama. with some really good-looking main and side characters. In terms of 搞笑指数, if I say I laughed for YB, for this drama I'll say I smiled. It's not that hilarious, but heartwarming enough to give you a fuzzy feeling, especially whenever it rains in the drama and you see Cha Dae Woong looking at the sky, rushing back to Mi Ho's side because he knows she's crying. You'll have to watch the drama to really understand what I'm talking about though, it's rather intangible.

Of course, there are exceptions, what with the Hong Sisters's script and everything. You have to think twice again if you think this show's safe enough to watch while drinking or eating, because you'll never know when you'll choke or splutter on your drink/food when the drama appears to take quite a normal, seemingly boring turn. Well, don't follow my footsteps though, I choked on my water when I saw the "结婚狂想曲", taking a glance at the computer screen while drinking water from my mug. The hilarious part just come so unexpectedly that I spluttered due to laughing =)

仔细一想，我几乎看完了洪氏姐妹编写的韩剧耶。

《我的女孩》、《豪杰春香》、《幻想情侣》、《都是美男啊》、《我的女友是九尾狐》。

就差一部《快刀洪吉童》了。（不过据说这部戏不是很好看，我也看过简介，对它没什么兴趣，就索性跳过吧！）

每一部我都挺喜欢的，因为全部都是轻松好笑，在内容上不断翻新，突破典型的搞笑诙谐让人忍俊不禁。

《我的女孩》说的是一场因为要找寻失散的亲人而自编自导的骗局，我看的时候是惊喜，心想，怎么会有那么在当时算是“另类”的韩剧？脱离了悲情、拖拖拉拉、主角死到尽头又突然奇迹般复活，然后一直变得更强大，最后终于完成梦想/得到或失去爱情而徒留遗憾的剧情。当然，那种剧情有时也挺吸睛的，因为，这类的剧情总是影射了“人生不可不经历苦难而一帆风顺、其中必然造成或留下遗憾”的人生真实性。

可是看久了，就真的觉得人生好黑暗哦，怎么有那么多挫折，要遇上那么多遗憾呢？
所以，《我的女孩》的无厘头诙谐让我耳目一新，哇，好不容易可以笑个够，剧情又不拖拉，好！

《豪杰春香》在韩国典故中贞烈女子春香等待、守护丈夫的故事上翻出新意，看了让人觉得，原来典故也能那么翻新啊？让我大开眼界，同时又认识韩国文化多一点，当然，也可以开怀笑骂，顺便怀念一下校园的温馨。

《幻想情侣》就颠覆了一个贵妇的形象，当一个贵妇失忆后，又会露出怎样的面貌本性？这部戏，看得我连连喷饭，笑得好畅快哦！

《都是美男啊》则介绍了一个单纯的女孩在复杂的演艺圈求存的故事。 我个人认为这个是洪氏姐妹的最佳代表作 =)

《我的女友是九尾狐》 - 看一只让人避之唯恐不及，却可爱到极点的九尾狐如何适应人间吧！

当然，每部戏也不是完全只为搞笑，在笑点背后还是能找到某些意义深刻的道理。

我个人看来，《我的女孩》主旨在于告诉大家谎言的可怕性；《豪杰春香》则说明了把握、珍惜身边人的重要；《幻想情侣》点明了必须积极适应人生中无可避免的意外、挫折的道理；《都是美男啊》搓破了时下青年追星、渴望成名的美丽泡沫，以一种很现实、幽默的手法影射了演艺圈不只是光荣的代称，反而是种束缚的事实；《我的女友是九尾狐》则提醒人们不该对事物断章取义，凡事都应经由本身真正的意识、真正去了解后才作下结论。当然每部剧也不单单只是一两个主题，就像分析文学作品一样，一千位观众眼中便有一千个哈姆雷特，真要慢慢破解，恐怕是说不完的。

好像很沉重哦？可是一边笑，一边看戏，这些道理自然能慢慢接收。

很不错吧？所以，偶像剧、轻松诙谐的喜剧也是可以看出“营养”的哦！虽然比不上什么名著、文学代表作，可是比较生动的情节就是让人耳目一新，不是吗？
