Sassy Girl Choon-Hyang

[a person]

I'm really liking this so far, except for a few corny parts I would say it's pretty good. Is anyone else watching this?

[mikey]

It's a tad *too* corny for my tastes, though there are a few cute moments now and then.

Also, I don't get why the lead actress is supposed to be some kind of High School beauty queen. Am I the only one who thinks she's nothing special?

However, I also missed the last two episodes (I was out of town that weekend) so maybe I'll get more attached to it when I tune in again on Saturday (I'm watching via satellite).

;D Yeah I guess it is a bit corny... and I don't think the lead is that pretty either because it looks like she got a lot of plastic surgery, but I think that she fits the part perfectly. Maybe that's why I'm hooked on it. What episode are you at? I'm watching via video. What's via mean? It just sounds cool.

I'm not, but 쾌걸춘향 (Sassy Girl, Chun-hyang) has been reasonably popular with the members of the California board.

And the Hotelier board has a Sassy Girl thread, too.

a person, I watched episode #5 on TAN last night (I missed episodes #3 and #4) and I have to say the show's much improved over the beginning episodes. Not nearly so "corny" now.

Glad I rejoined it.

Yeah, I started enjoying it more the more I watched it too.

This show just started here in Chicago this morning, after the re-airing of 'Who's My Love'.

Here is KBS's site for it: www.kbs.co.kr/end_program/drama/qgirl/index.html

I saw part of the show that my tape caught. It looks cute. But it seems to me that it's targeting a teen audience, maybe that why they have to corn-feed the story line.

I kept getting distracted by her pigtails though, why does she like them like that. It looks like she forgot to pull them through.

Lol, I thought the same thing when I was watching it, but since she's a senior in high school her look changes a bit when she gets out of high school. Plus, she's known as the asian(korean?) barbie... I read the article somewhere.I'll post it up if I can dig it up. Does anyone agree with that? Personally, I think that she's not beautiful, but cute-pretty, and she's supposed to be tall but they make her look really short on the show.

[galacticchick]

I don't think she's all that either. But maybe because she has a very finely chiseled face.

I know I've read this from somewhere already, but what's with the scenes with them in the past?

And does she have super powers or something?

[mikey]

“Sassy Girl,” as I hear it, is supposed to be an updated, 21st century version of the Chosun-era “Legend of Chun-hyang.” So, at the conclusion of each episode, the producers update us on the original legend with a brief period piece.

And, as for Chun-hyang’s “super powers” . . . well, that’s one of the several ridiculous aspects to this drama that I never really cared for. I think that watching her scaling ten-foot walls in a single bound (as if she were “Wonder Woman”) only detracts from the show as a whole.

Her “super powers” appear to diminish as the show progresses, however. By midway through, she seems to be nothing more than a normal, 20-something girl. Go figure.

I'm continuing to watch this drama unfold, but (honestly) I don't think you Chicago fans are missing anything remarkable.
