My Unfortunate Boyfriend, or No Min Woo's Sexy Abs, Face, Butt, and Lips

Previously, in my post More Men Who Make Me Watch Drama Against My Will: Hot Bods Edition, I confessed that I watched Full House Take 2 just for No Min Woo and his skinny, muscular body (and face that's prettier than most girls').

I also stated that I was probably going to watch The Greatest Marriage for him... but I never did.  It sounded too crazy and I was already watching too many shows at that time.  Lucky me, he's already in another drama and his abs seems to be what it's all about.  Yes!

149. My Unfortunate Boyfriend 나의 유감스러운 남자친구 (2015) Korean

No Min Woo, Yang Jin Sung, Yoon Hak, Kwak Ji Min

Drama Rating: 5/10     Neck Score: A

I was pretty clear in my post what this drama was about.  No Min Woo being super sexy.  They seemed to have forgotten that halfway through and tried to up the drama stakes by giving the Bug more screen time.  That was a mistake.  It got super boring and lame when No Min Woo wasn't on the screen.  All we cared about in this drama was the OTP, not the stupid Bug second male lead.  The second female lead was pretty cool too.  The end.  Basically No Min Woo is a great actor because he pulled this character off, making us believe that he was really that innocent and awkward.  But they also still managed to make the love story cute and believable too.  The part that I loved that made this show have as high a rating as it does is how much our main couple grows.  She learns a lot, he learns a lot, they both make each other better and it's adorable.  Lizabreff complained that the ending was too tame compared to all the naughty awkward humor at the beginning, but since the characters had grown so much, that wasn't a surprise to me.  It would have been weirder if it had been that awkward.  The ending was slightly lamer than it could have been.  It also seemed rushed because they skimmed over a lot of things just showing the results and not the actual competition.  They also gave the Bug way too much time.  No one likes him, stop wasting our time.  So it was a delightfully weird drama, super cheesy and campy, but also a bit boring when the stupid second male lead suddenly hogs the screen.  Other than that I loved it.  It hooked me enough for it to be one of the few I looked forward to every week.

82. Bride of the Century 백년의 신부 (2014) Korean

Lee Hong Ki, Yang Jin Sung, Sung Hyuk, Jang Ah Young

Drama Rating: 6/10     Neck Score: A+

Lee Hong Ki totally made this drama!  Unfortunately it suffered from some bad writing at the end, probably because they wanted it to be 20 episodes and it ended up 16.  Ouch, that's a badly rushed ending.  But the show itself was great.  Hong Ki being the jerk chaebol was awesome.  About time he played the leading man.  Rawr.  He was honestly so adorable.  So it's one of those doppelganger shows where the girl looks exactly like this other girl so she has to pretend to be her.  There is this curse on the family that the first wife of the  first son always dies on the wedding night, so the family of the fiancee has to get this doppelganger girl to take their daughter/sister's place as she ran away from the threat of death.  The two girls look exactly alike, and Hong Ki didn't even like/know his fiancee enough to notice them being switch, unless you count the fact that all the sudden he finds himself attracted to his fiancee when he never liked her before.  Their falling in love parts are so cute.  He's got some nice character development as you discover why he has locked his heart away at first, and why he falls in love with her.  There is the ghost of the curse element which makes it super interesting (until they have to rush the end to explain that part, oh well).  Also, I loved the way they handled the part where he finds out he's been lied to and that he's in love with the doppelganger and not his actual fiancee, that was refreshingly awesome.  Really, this show is great, and the ending isn't so bad, it was just so rushed that it was weird, because the very last episode is super draggy too.  Just the last two episodes are lame, and not so much that this show is bad.  It's actually still very good and Lee Hong Ki.  I love Lee Hong Ki.
