OVERCOMING THE HICCUPS

My Secret Romance is just so… refreshingly uncomplicated and straightforward despite it exhibiting all the stereotypical drama tropes. What I wouldn’t give for a guy and gal who clear up misunderstandings or apologise immediately without dragging on the angst? That way, we can skip straight to the swoony and heartfelt goodies. Jin Wook and Yoo Mi are stealing my heart and laughter with every episode. My Secret Romance is the absolutely perfect way to kick off the week. Trust me, this drama is an unpolished gem that glitters bright.


 


One complaint – why is each epsiode only 45 minutes long??????? I don’t really get the whole epilogue segment at the end when they could have just edited the extra stuff into the main duration of the episodes. Maybe because this drama is entirely pre-produced and they discovered too late they don’t have enough content for 12 60-minute episodes but still…I don’t really care for the different camera angles.


 


So I beginning to suspect Dong Goo is really the love child between the OTP since Yoo Mi seems adamant to continue referring to him as her “puppy†whenever she is with Jin Wook. I kinda wish a kid wasn’t involved since the central romance has been wonderfully fuss-free and spontaneous so far, but the kid is so cute that I’m swayed.


 


Anyway, I can’t get over – and can’t get enough – of how hilarious, outrageously juvenile and artlessly clueless Jin Wook is. He vocalises his suspicion that Yoo Mi hiccups only for him… because he sets her heart racing. HAHAHA. Which is true but Yoo Mi does a decent, plausible comeback when she retorts that she hiccups because he makes her uncomfortable. His reaction is an incredulous, “Me????? I make you uncomfortable?????â€. Hahahahahaha. I can’t believe he can’t believe he hovering all over her is making her feel all warm and friendly.


 


 


How about when Jin Wook accuses Yoo Mi of desiring skinship when she accidentally falls into his lap or tries to clean his stained shirt? Or his outlandish antics when queuing up at a restaurant or trying to act all cool and suave in her presence? And when he arrogantly explained the restaurant Yoo Mi chose was not his style because his legs were too long to be folded under the table…and sticks out his leg with pride. HA. This guy totally cracks me up to no end. Plus, Sung Hoon’s deliberate OTP gestures, reactions and expressions somehow enhance the execution of the story, make it more comical than cheesy. I just love it when he overreacts or wriggles his eyebrows acrobatically or pulls a dramatic stunt for something tiny – like how he swerved the car in the direction Yoo Mi suggested with so much fanfare in deed and tone of voice.

But Jin Wook can also be unbashedly honest and emotionally shrewd when the time calls for it. Loved how he handled the whole lunchbox fiasco by rushing after Yoo Mi and instantly stating what happened was not deliberate on his part. He calls her out on the weekend under the guise of “work†but readily admits he likes being with her and hates eating alone. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind but at the same time, he demands the same honesty from her, too. It is something that Yoo Mi is reluctant to extend to him, but is a quality she grudgingly respects him for.


There is the almighty sweetness and rare vulnerability he dares to show Yoo Mi, or willing to share with Yoo Mi. I mean he ate up all her uneaten lunchboxes to the point of getting hospitalised for indigestion because he knew how much she hated wasting food. That’s crazy but meaningful commitment. He valiantly wants to cares about what she cares about. He keenly observes Yoo Mi, trying his best to genuinely figure her out as a person, and not just some chattel he intends to possess. That whole 10-meal “punishment†dates is really just a golden opportunity for Jin Wook to learn more about Yoo Mi and spend time with her. He missed the chance three years ago and he is all eager to make up for lost time. Oh and of course, find out whether she really kissed him while he was out cold in the hospital. Heh.


Yoo Mi is one of the most likeable heroines I have come across in ages. Besides being guilty of having a wild imagination, she is pretty much imperfectly appealing on the rest of the fronts. I like her and I like how Song Ji Eun is portraying her. She doesn’t stubbornly push Jin Wook away… just because. I just hate it when leading ladies avoid interaction or are brusque with their leading men for no justified rhyme or reason. In this case, Yoo Mi does exercise caution with Jin Wook for reasonable reasons, but I appreciate her practical, but curious steak, that keeps her intrigued and conversant when it comes to Jin Wook.


msr6_3-e1493748227803.png?w=620%26h=314&


To top it off, she can be as sweet as him. She notes his vulnerability/weakness but doesn’t seek to use it to her advantage. Instead, she works to lessen the loneliness she can senses in him. She offers to cook the dish he claims his mother was good at, and offers to accompany him during his meals because she knows he doesn’t like eating by himself. She doesn’t hesitate to show kindess and care to him, from one human being to another.


I like this OTP because they are doing a darned good job of convincing me they are going to fall in love organically because of the developing mutual care, trust and feelings between them.I love they clarified from the get-go that they so-called “lovers†weren’t lovers at all. The one-night stand three years ago was just the spark for them to get things started but it is what they are doing now, in the present, that matters so much more. Physical attraction between them is pretty much a given – and kudos to Sung Hoon and Song Ji Eun for their fantastic chemistry which comes off natural and without strain. Despite the sometimes orchestrated humour and encounters, there is surprising heartfelt emotion and depth to the budding romance between the OTP. And all that lovely, uncaliberated honesty and authenticity. The drama better not lose these critical qualities that make it so watchable to me.

Episode 7 was a delight.

 

 

 

Well, after al the spoilers we already had, I knew what to expect, but still it was great to see how fast our OTP is growing closer. Of course they still are a bit awkward at times, not being totally honest and all, but they are just too adorable together. Once again, JW is doing everything he can to get closer to YM, and I love how much attention he pay to her. 

I must say that my favorite scene was the one where he tries to hide YM of his dad. Two plates and even candles and JW still tried to act cool like he always eat like that laugh.png laugh.png

Even though I'm not a fan of HT, I kind felt bad for him in that scene with YM. He is so deep into the friendzone that there's no turning back.

I hope JW's dad won't try to ruin everything, he is so desperate for grandchildren that he might try to steal Dong Gu LOL

 

 

 

 

 

yet im not satisfied with their kiss, yumi looks like a dead fish lips LOL imstupid.png 

 

I guess they will have more kisses soon, so keep calm laugh.png

 

 

I love SH and JE interactions on instagram, with all the bickering. They get along so well, I'm glad.
