My Girl


My sister and I just (finally) finished watching a Korean drama named My Girl (마이걸). It's 16 episodes long and aired in 2005. It's also one of the more popular Korean dramas, and I have to admit, it is pretty good. The actors are all pretty good looking; it stars Lee Dong Wook, Lee Da Hae, Li Joon Ki, and Park Si Yeon. Here's the summary from DramaWiki:

When Gong Chan (Lee Dong Wook) meets the lively and beautiful Yu Rin (Lee Da Hae), he finds out that she has connections to his missing cousin, who his grandfather has been searching for a long time. He asks Yu Rin to lie about being his long missing cousin until he can find his real cousin. She says yes, but soon their feelings for each other get in the way of their plans. Gong Chan's friend Jung Woo (Lee Joon Ki) falls for Yu Rin while Gong Chan's ex girlfriend, Seo Hyun (Park Si Yeon), a pro tennis player, tries to win him back. Will the two ever tell each other how they feel? Will Gong Chan ever find his real cousin?
The entire story was somewhat typical of an Asian drama - but it had a twist towards the end, so at the same time, it was also rather refreshing. I personally felt sorry for Lee Joon Ki's character and I found him similar to Hana Kimi's Jin Xiu Yi/Shuichi Nakatsu and Bull Fighting (Dou Niu Yao bu Yao's) Jin Zi Cong. I also admit that Lee Joon Ki is rather cute. :D

Anyway... we watched episodes 1 - 15 on MySoju, and episode 16 on aznTV (NOTE: you need to download WinAMP in order to watch their videos). The episode 16 link on MySoju was broken (aka the video had no subtitles) and it took a long time to find one that worked with our slow internet connection. >_<>
