I never thought I would give this high rating to a drama which has every single thing in the storyline that a cliche storyline could have! It has rich guy-middleclass girl dilemma, it has arrogant guy – sweet girl conflict, it has contract dating and what not in its storyline. Yet I couldn’t but fall in love with this drama; just like the protagonists fall for each other in this drama!
I was randomly checking out youtube videoes when the first scene of the 4th episode of this drama caught my attention. I got hooked up in no time and finished this within two days. So what made me fall for this drama? Well, here are valid points:
1. The drama is pretty short. Even though it is a 16 episodes drama, each episode is of around 30 minutes. Because the drama is not lengthy, I didn’t lose patience while following the cliche storyline.
2. Usually, in pure romance based drama, the female lead is either pretty crybaby or pretty rebellious, pretty rebellious in the sense that they show a tendency to overreact in even normal situations. In this drama, the female lead is pretty well-balanced in term of showing kindness, sweetness and her rebel side.
3. In this drama, there is no unnecessary misunderstanding to annoy the audience. In pure romance based drama, there is a tendency to create misunderstanding between the leads which misunderstanding can easily be sorted out by a simple text or phone call. In this drama, the two leads maintain communication despite having their busy schedules and sort out misunderstandings.
4. In most Korean dramas, the way how female lead falls for male lead is pretty abrupt, as if one fine morning the female lead decided that she loved the male lead. Here, the creative team has come up with an awesome dialogue to validate this emotional transition, which dialogue is now one of my favorite quotes, “Suppose, there is this person with 99 good traits but he has one bad trait. You’ll come to detest him eventually over that one bad trait no matter what he does. But there is this other person with 99 bad traits and one good trait. if that one good trait catches your attention, that’s what you’ll fall for; because that’s his charm!” So true and simply explains why people often fall for one with traits which they hate normally.
Jun So Min has a pretty innocent look which perfectly complements the character of the female lead she has played here. Her co-star, Ha Suk Jin stated in an interview that Jun So Min’s real personality also resembles the female lead character of this drama which explains her natural acting. As for Ha Suk Jin, I’ve come to know of him for the first time through this drama and simply loved him. His acting is so natural, specially his smile.
If I’m asked to figure one negative aspect of this drama, I would point finger at the acting skill of the actor who has played the role of the grandpa here. He simply overacts and it feels pretty obvious that he is ‘acting’. I felt Sung Dong II would be the best option for this role.
In a nutshell, if you are tired of over-drama in dramas tagged with ‘melodrama’ genre or if you’re looking for something light, refreshing to lighten up your mood after being done with a twisted, complicated drama, then ‘Something About 1 Percent’ would be a good pick.
