Initially, I had watched “My Girl” a year ago in my “new to Kdrama frenzy” and I had even forgotten the title and storyline, but I recently re-watched it and here are my findings. I am really surprised at the low ratings in MDL for this “rom-com”. It strikes me as being as worthy as a Secret Garden or BOF. Granted the first 2-3 episodes are rather lame and cheesey, as it outlines the future storyline, but picks up by episode 4 and from then on, it certainly keeps the viewer’s interest. I especially loved the OST, “Never Say Goodbye” (taken from Symphony #40, Mozart /Mario & Nesty). The storyline is good and with a strong cast, the drama unfolds, gripping the viewer right to the very end. As was said, in other reviews, it does get a bit laggy in final few episodes, but doesn’t render it unwatchable. The final episode delivers 100% as well as episodes previous. And the excellent choice of music and the Awesome OST made me love it more. I can see why, when it originally aired, it pulled in such high weekly ratings from television viewers. Honestly, I can recommend this “drama” and in my books it has earned the right of being a classic, along with SG & BOF. (with a worthy 2nd lead) I have changed my initial rating of a 7 to a 9.5, as I can now appreciate all that goes into making a drama a classic with a high re-watch value.
