61. Mary Stayed Out All Night 매리는 외박중 (2010) Korean

Jang Geun Suk, Moon Geun Young, Kim Jae Wook, Kim Hyo Jin

Drama Rating: 4/10     Neck Score: A


This was another one I watched because of that list of 100 best dramas.  That list was probably crap, but whatever.  I don't regret expanding my viewing pool.  This one was just dumb.  The premise was dumb.  Jang Geun Suk's hair... hot.  But it's about this girl, Mae Ri, whose dad is in so much debt all the time that they are constantly running and getting their stuff taken away.  But he runs into his old friend, who was in love with the dad's wife, so he decides to pay all the debt if Mae Ri (who looks just like her mom) marries his son.  In the mean time Mae Ri meets Jang Geun Suk, who is this long haired musician in a band.  She hits him with her car, but is so worried about scams that she follows him to get his signature promise that he is fine and wont sue later.  He's been scammed by agents making him sign slave contracts that he wont sign and they end up getting drunk together and he takes her home and crashes at her house for a while since he no longer has a house.  Then when Mae Ri finds out that her dad wants her to get married she uses Jang Geun Suk to pretend to be already married.  Then there is a bunch of stupidness as her dad registers her marriage with the son so she's technically married to both men.  Then there is a bunch of sharing the wife crap and it's dumb.  There are some cool songs.  Jang Geun Suk's rock band is pretty sweet.  It was so cray cray and lame that the writer even quit half way through.  Just silliness, really.
