A Penthouse View

[Soju]

I don't think it's quite what Lisa Douglas had in mind, but I enjoyed the premier. It looks like the romantic plotline is pretty much in place. A four sided triangle? Will it be a rhombus or a trapazoid?

I was glad to see some old standbys as Jung-eun's parents. I know Jang Yong will always be "Mr. Cha" to many of us. Let's conserve water! Dismissed!

I enjoyed watching this drama and I was so excited that it was subtitled So far it seems like a cute love drama. It had some funny moments too. I like the scene where Jung-eun's brother runs away after stealing her money, then she sees him on the street, screams thief, chases him, and Kyung-Min jumps to her aid.
It was funny to see the look on the Kyung-min's face when they dragged the brother to the police station and the cop starts beating him up (it was Jung-eun's dad)

So there is one girl on the show who seems to be the pretty girl and all guys fall for her (which I dont know why) well I liked the scene where she is at the gym trying to get this guys attention and he wasn't really interested in her. He talked to her for a few minutes (I think they knew each from before) but he really didn't care for her. I think he is going to end up falling for Jung-Eun

and what was up with Kyung-Min's friend? why did he tell Jung-eun that the only reason he let her borrow money was to get to her friend. Is that true? I think the friend was lying, because in one of the scenes Kyung-min asked Jung-eun if she had told her friend anything about the money, then he asked Jung-eun's friend, if Jung-eun had said anything to her. I dont think he told Jung-eun's friend anything.

You guys are good. I just say this show yesterday and already I can't remember their names. The main guy, Kyung-Min, is such a metrosexual. I love how he's always adjusting his hair--he does it more than any other female.

I loved how the older guy sitting on the bench brushed off pretty girl at the gym just like she brushed off Kyung-Min with the same line "Oops! Look at the time I have to run." The only thing I seriously don't like is his earring. What's up with that? It looks awful on him. He's wearing his dress up clothes but has a little stud on his ear. I really don't like guys with earrings (my personal preference, not trying to start any controversy).

And as for Kyung-Min doing all those things, I do think it was because he was hoping Jung-eun would say all the wonderful things Kyung-min had done for her.

yeah right
I had to go online and find out what their names were.
I am the worst person when it comes to memorizing names in a Korean drama.

but didn't he tell Jung-eun not to mention anything to her friend about him giving her money?

[galacticchick]

I think he just said that to play it off though. Because remember he asked the pretty girl if Jungeun had said anything? Why would he ask her that unless he was hoping she did.

Yeah, he was just being casual. He lent the money so that she would tell Hye-ryun, and then he had to check up and ask her whether she had said anything. When she said she hadn't, he had to play it casual, like, "Oh, it was no big deal."

Reminded me of George Costanza on "Seinfeld" when he bought the Big Salad for Elaine and had to make sure she knew he paid for it. It involved the same sort of passive-aggressive kind of weirdness.

They just aired that episode either earlier this week or last week. That was so funny.

나혜련/Na Hye-Ryun/羅惠蓮
