[Official Thread] She Was Pretty Drama


ZKPOP

Recommended Posts

Eps 3 and 4 are both subbed by the way. LOL

 

I'm pleased that Hyejin is FINALLY making progress in the "not act like an idiot" department...now the drama can begin lol.

Also I ship Shinhyuk and Hyejin wayyyy more than her and the lead...lol. Second lead syndrome in full effect. I love how he calls her "Jackson" xD

I've been lurking around for a while now :>

 

I watched Ep.3&4 today and I'm falling for Siwon  :ahmagah:

And also: I haven't laughed so much watching a drama since Angry Mom xD

 

I really loved this scene. Warning: Spoiler

The way Shinhyuk moves from "HAHA SHE'S SO AMUSING!" to genuine admiration as she is kind to the senior woman, to maybe a little like as he infers that she is pretty even in her current state...it was so well done!

 

This might be the STRONGEST case of second lead syndrome I've ever had and will ever have. Shinhyuk digs her in her current state and doesn't need her to transform back into some glam chick to think she's great. THAT is who a girl should be with lol

So far I think 'She Was Pretty' is 1.2 million times better than the main lead actors previous drama 'Kill Me, Heal Me,' which was a complete chore to get through.

 

If I have one complaint, it would be that there are too many being at the right place or at the wrong place scenes.

 

yup. it's tiring.

SO!!!!

 

 

things are going in the predicted route...

 

 

 

Sungjoon's jerk gene is lessening as he's falling for her cuz...I mean she's still her so if he fell for her back then he'll fall for her again once he gets to know the personality that drew him in the past...which is exactly what's happening.

 

Hari is being slapped with the reality that Sungjoon is not here for her but for the childhood Hyejin who he thinks she is...and she doesn't want to deal with it so she's hoping he will fall for her (not gonna happen! he doesn't even know who she is)...I don't like that she went out there and kissed him even tho she KNOWS what's up. Even if she was falling for him before she shoulda got that in check or come clean and tried it properly.

 

And my fave part...Shinhyuk's realization OUT LOUD that he likes Kim "Jackson" Hyejin lol. I love that the "dongseng" was a dog LOL! That made me crack up...I also love how it wasn't this suave smooth confession but a confession in keeping with his wacky and honest nature. The writers NAIIIILED that and so did Siwon. 

Like I KNOW Hyejin is gonna end up with Sungjoon cuz plot always says so...but I SO appreciate the fact that Shinhyuk liked her as she was from the very beginning whereas Sungjoon was a thorough jerk and had to take his own sweet time getting to know her before he was softened. Despite my ship probably sinking...I SHIP SHINHYUK AND JACKSON LOL! I just need Hyesjin to show a smidgen of feeling for Shinhyuk for my ship to be fully functional Lol~~~

 

The tangent love line with the other two employees was funny. I liked how she's trying to snatch him cuz she thinks he's rich and her plans to woo him blows up in her face...yet the minutes she becomes more human and less concerned about impressing him (embarrassing as it was) he started to think she was cute. Wonder how she's gonna act when she finds out he ain't the rich one...

/insert don't know what I meant to feel pic

 

 

I want Hyejin to end up with Siwon when she was with Seojoon but when Haeri kissed Seojoon, I want to face palmed myself wanting Hyejin to end up with him.

 

What the helllllllllll

 

I can explain that.

 

Shinhyuk (Siwon) and Hyejin are preferred cuz he was nice to her and embraced her from the start. Sungjoon was a jerk to her so we don't quite want her with him...but Hari is using Hyejin's name and legacy and just dragging the wormhole deeper and it's unnecessary at this point...so you're frustrated with her...plus it helps that Hyejin reconnected with Sungjoon and Sungjoon has eased off on the jerk bit.

 

LOL

 

 

Hahahah the lady in the restaurant Ep 7 is the same executive lady at The Most

 

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS!!

 

Blatant recycling cracked me up

well!

 

 

I hope folk stop screaming for the makeover now lol...there u go.

 

I wonder what will occur from here and what exactly prompted her to get a makeover...that is if it's not a dream sequence or sumn. lol

 

 

 

I wonder if the drama will use the "supporting characters are he main characters" concept for itself and allow Hyejin to end up with the kooky but just right for her Shinhyuk LOL

She looks so awkward with her hair bec I'm still used to her curls â•¥ï¹â•¥

 

and wasn't Hari about to give Seongjoon her letter, but didn't get the chance to? scriptwriter pls.

 

lol yeah there were a lot of "screenwriter, please" moments.

 

_________________________

 

lol I keep looking for more hints of Hyejin even remotely liking Shinhyuk to fuel my ship but...nada. LOL

I must give props tho because she didn't become this ultra girly glamazon...she basically did what I asked. She still has her Hyejin style just upgraded. I do miss the curls tho...all they had to do was tame the curls instead of get rid of it.

Now that he's being successful he has to leave I am done with life :._.:

 

I'm glad he's leaving on a good and relevant note actually and to active duty no less (I think). Can't wait for tonight's ep~~~ Also great to see the drama picking up with the Korean masses~

Good ep!

 

 

Oh how my heart hurts for Shinhyuk...oh how it cries~~~ (/the OST in the back doesn't help either)

And I'm honestly ready for Hari to get hers. While she's not a mindless villain she's also not a kid and she should've known that she couldn't keep this up and should have been mature enough to end it sooner. "First love" or not.

Just watched it.

 

 

 

 

No. I don't feel bad for Hari. She should've handled her business from earlier even if she pined for a while over Sungjoon. But she dragged it out. I feel bad for her in regards to her miserable family life tho.

 

I feel terrible for Shinhyuk. I think he knew what would happen but Sungjoon's "at least I don't wrap my feeling in a joke like a coward" line got to him and he went for it anyway and got slapped with the pain he knew would happen. He was so melancholy and almost hopeless even while going for it. It was heart breaking. Can I say how much Siwon nailed that scene??

 

And while the misunderstanding between Hyejin and Sungjoon is out the way and now they are free to be happy and lovey dovey...the other folk they respect and care about (Hyejin loves Hari as ber best friend/sister) and needs (Sungjoon needs Shinhyuk as an employee cuz he's good and creative) who have been hurt in the process are now up and leaving them.

 

 

 

 

Basically the ep in a nutshell lol

 

 

Also lol at Hanseol finding out Joonwoo ain't the heir.

i think shin hyuk - hari is too random and mean, just because they can't get with the leads they have to throw them together. it will be better if hari just finds her worth as a woman and realize that she doesn't need a man to be happy and shin hyuk... i'm not sure about him but they can work something out.

 

This.

 

I mean some part of me somewhere is hoping for some kind of twist where Shinhyuk will end up happy with a Hyejin who finally comes around...but I already can tell that's not gonna happen so I hope writer does right by him lol. 

 

But I DO NOT want a random Hari Shinhyuk pairing.

Shinhyuk is everything.

Shinhyuk is everything.

 

Have I mentioned that Shinhyuk is everything?  lol

Shinhyuk got his mojo back and the ENTIRE MOOD of the drama ep improved. I wouldn't call it filler at all. I call it "How Shinhyuk got his Groove Back". lol

 

Seriously tho I do hope the writers give him some form of happy ending. And Hari's character I am proud of. This is actually the kind of maturity I expected of her from a while back seeing how usually feisty and on top of things she seemed...better late than never. Hyejin and Sungjoon will turn out fine. Here's to hoping the rest of the drama isn't a sappy boring mush-fest of Hyejin and Sungjoon tho.

... Here's to hoping the rest of the drama isn't a sappy boring mush-fest of Hyejin and Sungjoon tho.

 

...I said yesterday.

 

That's exactly what this ep was...with minor set up for what will probably be the last problem to be solved in the drama and the last plot point.

 

*sigh*

Hmm...

1. If MOST will overtake New Look <------ Main problem at the moment

2. Identity of the chairman's son

3. Identity of TEN (who I believe will save The MOST from closure since Leonard Kim might back out from the interview)

4. Ha Ri's closure (with herself and not with SJ)

5. That freaking puzzle piece which magically came back to Hye Jin 

6. More skinship from the couple (lol. Just my selfish wish~) 

7. SH's real reason for staying at the hotel and his real identity as well

 

These points are why I'll tune in to the end lol.

lol. All pertaining to SH, eh? 

Anyway, I saw a spoiler pic in Soompi that somehow tells me that he really is the chairman's son. He was cleanly shaven and wearing a coat. Someone even guessed that the scene is during the supposed inauguration.

 

Not all, lol. I personally don't think he's TEN (I wouldn't be too shocked if he was...but I really don't think he is lol). And he's the only character (along with our FABULOUS editor in chief) who have some mystery left to them that I want to know about. The two leads are obviously going to ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after.

 

I also am interested in seeing where Joonwoo and Hanseol go lol.

AHHH LOL I just had to read the spoiler!

 

Well...ok then xD

 

 

props for not going the too obvious route of Shinhyuk being the chairman's son lol. I wonder what Hanseol's reaction was...can't wait to watch this later

THAT WAS FUN TO WATCH xDD

 

Even with the spoiler I read earlier it STILL was cool to see Poongho walking up there all cleaned up like a boss.

And Ten is just stunning.

 

Let's see everyone's reactions to this in the next ep~

Damn, I really hate when a cool 2nd lead has an unrequited love. Argh! I need to feel manly again.

 

It's ok...more than half of the ppl watching this drama is suffering from that...

And when we talk about worthy/cool 2nd leads...Siwon as Shinhyuk is the posterboy

This was a great ep. It had mush Hyejin and Sungjoon mush, Hari and Hyejin mush, Shinhyuk and everybody mush... but validated mush; mush that I enjoyed.

 

The whole Ten reveal and interview and Shinhyuk's farewell to the team and to "Jackson" turned my bones into mush. That was a well done scene....very emotional without being overdramatic.

 

I like that Hyejin gets to do what she wants career-wise..basically the entire drama wrapped up in a timely manner and very nicely.

 

I guess ep 16 is gonna be some kind of "1 year later" bit or sumn...
