She Was Pretty (2015)

My incredibly poor rating for this drama is mostly due to my dislike for how back and forth the male MC is with his behavior. He's so mean to the female MC but then so nice the her best friend. This extreme hot and cold behavior was so abrupt and uncalled for that I couldn't define it as anything other than being unrealistic and completely annoying and infuriating. I really went into She Was Pretty with high expectations, having watched many trailers and funny clips prior to starting it. I was hoping to enjoy the drama based on the high ratings and the promising clips. I was so disappointed that the male MC was such a horrible person toward the female MC. The reason why I dropped the drama was because I couldn't stomach knowing that the female MC would essentially end up with her ruthless bully. The atrocities of his behavior just couldn't be redeemed in my eyes. I knew that by the end of the drama, I wouldn't be happy for the female MC because his prior behaviors were a true indication of his poor character and therefore, no, I wouldn't want her to be "happy" with him. We are all entitled to be displeased by someone's work, but that gives you no right to treat them as inferior (which the male MC did multiple times, in front of others in a *professional* setting nonetheless). People can like this drama all they want because we're all entitled to our own opinions, but coming from someone who *has* been bullied, I cannot be moved by this kind of love story.

Eu passei muita raiva assistindo esse drama, mas não por ser ruim, até por que é Muito bom. Pois então,nesse drama mostra o amor entre dois amigos não é? Ao decorrer da historia eu fui vendo que parecia um drama que o final é ruim, que não vão ficar juntos ou vão mudar de país, algo assim. Então dei um tempo, quando voltei a assistir vi que não tinha nada haver com o que eu estava pensando antes, esse drama mostra simplesmente o amor pela pessoa e o padrão de beleza colocado pelas pessoas( sociedade). - Ao olhar alheio você pode ser feia, mas o que importa é que você sempre foi linda!

She Was Pretty bisa saja kelanjutan cerita Kill Me Heal Me versi Hwang Jung Eum dengan Park Seo Joon, hihi. Nggak ding. Ini sama sekali bukan kelanjutan Kill Me Heal Me, namun banyak candaan di media sosial mengenai dua drama tersebut. Lucu juga sih kalau misalkan beneran, kan.

Story

Kim Hye Jin, tumbuh menjadi seorang gadis berambut keriting dan jerawatan. Ji Seong Joon, tumbuh menjadi pemuda tampan dan pekerja keras. Perubahan keduanya benar-benar menakjubkan. Bagaimana tidak? Sewaku kecil Hye Jin sangatlah cantik dan seseorang yang baik kepada siapa saja. Dan itu pulalah yang membuat Seong Joon kecil jatuh hati pada Hye Jin. Hingga suatu hari, Seong Joon harus berpisah dengan Hye Jin. Mereka berjanji akan saling bertemu di kemudian hari. Tapi ketika waktunya sudah tiba, mengapa Hye Jin tidak mau bertemu dengan cinta pertamanya? Dan ketika Ha Ri menyukai Seong Joon, apa yang harus Hye Jin lakukan?

Wah, She Was Pretty menganut paham 'cinta masa kecil' nih. Kalau menganut paham tersebut sih, akhirnya pasti udah ketebak. Tapi yang aku suka dari kebanyakan drama Korea, mereka selalu menampilkan latar belakang pekerjaan si aktor-aktrisnya dengan detail. Di She Was Pretty ini mengusung pekerjaan di balik sebah majalah fashion. Dan aku suka banget kalau ceritanya lagi ada di kantor majalah. Seru banget.

Acting/Cast

Sebelumnya aku udah nonton aktingnya Hwang Jung Eum dan Park Seo Joon sebagai adik-kakak di Kill Me Heal Me. Di sini kemistri mereka dapet banget. Menurutku karakter Kim Hye Jin nggak beda jauh sih sama karakter Oh Ri Jin, heboh nya samaaa, haha. Aku suka Park Seo Joon di sini. Mungkin karena dia peran utama jadi karismanya dapet banget. Tapi aku lebih suka Hye Jin - Shin Hyeok masa. Ketawa mulu tiap ada mereka berdua. Aku juga suka sama karakernya Pemred Kim. Saat dia memberikan ambutan di ulang tahun The Most, kata-katanya menyentuh sekali. Jadi baper bacanya (ya karena aku baca subtitlenya)

Music

Untuk soundtrack ada ih yang nyantol di telinga, tapi tetep yah, aku mles download lagunya. Cuman dengerin pa diputar di radio aja, xixi.

Rewatch Value

Karena ecara keseluruhan cerita ini tipe yang mudah ditebak bagaimana akhirnya, jadi untuk di tonton ulang sepertinya nggak deh. Paling pas adegan yang menurutku seru aja, kayak adegannya Hye Jin-Shin Hyeok, haha.
