Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung (2007)

Story- Starts of hilariously. The male leads in fat suit getting ready to be married to his love. She leaves him at the alter and after many years he comes back as a hottie pro golfer. Of course he wants to rub it in her face and she just wants him back for his money. Or does she? The drama\''\''s only weakness is the plot drags a lot in the middle. The end is cute tho!

Acting/Cast. Everyone in this drama can act. Oh Ji Ho is funny as always and is the Korean Brad Pitt. The female lead is so likable even though her character is suppose to be unlikable. You root for her. The supporting female I despise. She is sooo annoying! The second male lead is a good actor but his looks make his rival role not believable. You def cannot compare him to Oh Ji Ho!!

Music- ordinary

Rewatch- Not rewatchable in my opinion.

Overall- A drama with potential so watch maybe the first 8 episodes than skip to the last 2 or 3 eps. Believe me you dont miss much...

I decided to watch this drama as a sort of timepass and because it had Oh Ji Ho. Needless to say I wasn't expecting much but here's where Get Karl, Oh Soo Jung surprised me somewhat. Here's one drama, which gets rid of the traditional Miss Goody-two-shoes self-sacrificing Kdrama heroine who cries buckets whenever things go wrong in her life and embraced the idea of a strong woman who unabashedly confesses to be a gold-digger, as its lead. And who better than a great actress like Uhm Jung Hwa to do this character justice?! The story was a bit unconventional, so was the relationship between the leads...but both Oh Ji Ho and Jung Hwa had terrific chemistry throughout. The plot drags considerably after episode 10, when stupid misunderstandings crop up. Instead of being brave and fessing up, the hero chickens out and gives the bad girl the advantage and they take this long meandering route towards reconciliation. I was expecting more spine from Oh Ji Ho's character and in that respect I was sorely disappointed. Coming to the side characters, the friendship between Soo Jung and her two girlfriends provides lots of comic relief and Karl's manager who speaks Korean with an artificial American accent and Soo Jung's teenage brother are hilarious as well. All in all, a good watch but not remarkable.
