My Girl

I have finished watching My Girl! 16 episodes in all in 7 days. Watched approx 1-3 episodes per day, starting from around 11pm (cos I hv to work till at least 8pm EVERY night -_-) till 1-2am, then going to work at the usual 8.30am. This was my routine the whole of last week. Amazing that I somehow survived thru with less than 6hrs of sleep per night.

In any case, let me highly recommend the show My Girl. Although at times draggy and unrealistic, the show is nevetheless gd, not least due to the superbly likeable main actress and shuai actor.

Frankly, I don't understand the Korean way of thinking. In Autumn in My Heart, why can't the brother and fake sister be together, even though they hv grown up as siblings in the past? After all, they aren't real siblings. Is it so hard for the parents to accept? Shldn't they even b happier, since there wun be much difference after they get married? Similarly in My Girl, why can't the grandfather accept that his grandson wants to b tog w the fake granddaughter? After all, tis time, they didn't even live tog from young. Is it so hard to accept, when the lie was told as a white one? Y can't he hv the will to continue living if they are tog? So stubborn until the grandson gives the ultimatum that he will leave hm...tsk tsk.

But I digress (pt being the Korean society has their own way of thinking). The actress was extremely likeable and appeals greatly to me. Yes, she was a liar, but her antics were entertaining. I can see why all the actors preferred her over the international tennis star. To be her true self and in the process, attracting so many suitors. How brave she was, despite feeling deep anguish, she still masked her true feelings on the outside.

In a sense, we all luv to see ourselves in the character portrayed. It's our dream to live such a fairytale life, or to prosper despite the odds. That's y I like to watch such shows rite? For luv to manifest despite not being very likeable to the common people/society.

Oh well, there's hope since shows mirror life (xi ru ren shen). Haha..=)

Using the actress's favourite phrases, all of us must do well! Ba-sha! Ba-sha! Yes, we must A-za! Aza! (means jia you!) All of us hui wan fu de! (All of you will be blessed!)
