68. Pretty Man 예쁜남자 (2013) Korean

Jang Geun Suk, IU, Lee Jang Woo, Han Chae Young

Drama Rating: 6/10     Neck Score: B-

What I liked about this one was that it wasn't really about the romance, it was about this pretty man Doko Ma Te (Jang Geun Suk) discovering himself and reaching his full potential.  He is a pretty man who grew up with a single mom and now uses his looks to get money and other fancy things.  He's not exactly a man slut, but he does get rich sugar mamas to help him live the lifestyle he wants.  But what he really wants is to succeed on his own and meet his dad.  Then this woman (Han Chae Young) pops in and tells him who he is so he can help her bring her mother-in-law down so she can get her place in the family back.  In the mean time he has to become powerful himself to take this lady down.  He has to date/get to know a bunch of powerful women to learn from them, all the while getting help from his childhood friend/fangirl (IU) and the dude that has recently been following his friend around (much to Ma Te's displeasure.  It was much better than I thought it would be, based on the title and premise, and I actually really liked it, even though it went a little cray cray at the end with the birth secrets and family drama stuffs.  I liked how it was about character development and getting better.  Still not a fan of Lee Jang Woo though.

14. I Do, I Do 아이두 아이두^ (2012) Korean

Kim Sun Ah, Lee Jang Woo

Drama Rating: 2/10     Neck Score: C

I didn't finish this one.  I didn't hate it or anything.  I just didn't want the main couple to get together.  I thought they each, respectively, had more chemistry with their respective other peeps.  I also think that the one night stand pregnancy that was drawing them together was too much of an imposition to the story.  I didn't want to wait until the other peeps went cray cray trying to keep the main couple I didn't want together apart, so I just dumped it.  I probably wont ever finish it.  It was lame.  The end.  I like Kim Sun Ah as an actress though.
