My Girl: Thrilling Updates!

[lesbiassparrow]

1. Heroine is quite lovely, though I am not as mad about her as perhaps I should be or will be later. Still, anyone who is still so fond of mad, gambling father and refuses to think ill of people is quite smashing. And she is quirky in a fun way. And I like her fantasy sequences and her glee at actually having luxury.

2. Hero is a bit boring. I am sorry because though he is gradually overcoming his odd obsession with rules and being upright and morally priggish he still has a way to go. Also at one point I suspect his jacket was made out of random bits of carpet he found around the house. And let me point out: if you have paid heroine to pose as your cousin to soothe your grandfather's dying hours then maybe you should not be so superior about never lying. Because paying someone else to lie is much the same thing. Though bonus points for out sourcing in such an original way.

3. Secondary male, aka Girlish Boy is far more fun. I am seriously obsessed with Girlish Boy and his prettiness and his excellent flowing locks. He's prettier than Cherubino in Marriage of Figaro and he has much better coats than the hero.

4.Evil Tennis Playing Girl: so far not so much evil as really annoying. You know, usually when you dump people at the worst point of their life and then don't phone them for two years they are not so excited to see you again. They probably HARBOUR DEEP RESENTMENTS. However, as according to the Law of Kdramas, your first love is the only love for you I can see why you would be smugly secure in the belief that he would accept you back with open arms. She also has a touch of the mad eyes which is always the sign of bad things to come.

Yu Rin's dad works because they don't show too much of him and it's clear he cares for heroine and she cares for him (the scene of them on the cliff talking about the house they'll own and their land is smashing).

Tennis Girl is pretty much wrapped up in her own awesomeness. But given how many Kdramas feature first loves = the abiding passion of your life I was not that thrown by her belief that hero would wait for her. But I am pleased when Hero and Girlyman give her smackdowns.

yes. he's not shown as "oh, hes so fun and adorable" but as
ok, tyhis guy is useless, but he loves his daughter and can't stand the thought of making things bad for her"

as far as lip gloss woman goes...well, when every single person a guy knows hates your guts(and his super sweet aunt can barely be civil to you) for what you did to him, it should at least clue you in that you messed up...but shes determined to be the victim to the end.

I know! I can't get over the fact that she did perfectly well without him for two years, but the moment he actually says 'er, no I'm not still waiting' she pulls out the drinking and the fainting and the moping. And whining.
