title: radio romance
cast: yoon doo joon, kim so hyun, yoon park, yura
genre: romantic
ji soo ho (yoon doo joon) is a top actor from a well known family. his dad is a veteran actor, and her mom is the CEO of their entertainment company. though they look like a happy and enviable family, the truth is it's all just an act. his father involved in a scandal with younger actress while his mom was not his birth mom, and she has been putting up with her husband's scandal for way too long. and soo ho himself, got depressed and couldn't sleep without sleeping pills.
while song geu rim (kim so hyun) is an assistant writer in a radio, but it was her dream to become a writer. unfortunately, she has been a running errand girls rather than achieving her dream as a writer. moreover, her previous DJ has been MIA and then ran away, leaving her team disbanded and suspended for awhile. but then PD lee kang (yoon park) showed up. he was a legendary PD in the radio company. his program was always a hit before he took a leave and went to india. he then was chosen to save the radio company and gathered another team. he put together geu rim and go hoon jung (jo byung gyu) under his wing. his first idea was casting a top actor as their DJ, and soo ho was his pick.
geu rim then tried her best to cast soo ho. seeing her persistent effort, he decided to give it a try. but apparently that's not his reason to give in. back in his childhood days, apparently soo ho had met geu rim in a hospital. back when geu rim mother has just an eye surgery that left her blind, geu rim was learning how to live with a blind person, so she took a class there and had her eyes blindfolded. at that time, she met soo ho with blindfold on so she almost never saw his face. apparently soo ho was falling in love with geu rim back in the days and he was annoyed that she forgot about him when she met him again.
problem rose when soo ho's mom tried to control soo ho's life, while soo ho for once wanted to do the radio thing for himself. long story short, soo ho managed to succeed as radio DJ, while geu rim managed to be a competent writer under lee kang's guidance. their love triangle story also began there. soo ho tried to swoon geu rim while pd kang apparently also had feeling for her. however, geu rim managed to remember soo ho as her first love thus accepting soo ho's feeling for her.
however, their relationship had to face several blocks. from soo ho's legal mom disapproval to their relationship being out in public. and also soo ho's past. there was another boy in both soo ho and geu rim's past. soo ho was hospitalized because he took too many sleeping pills, even as a boy. he then met a boy who had terminal disease and made friend with him. that boy had crush on geu rim first, and he told soo ho that he was going to confess his feeling when he won the singing contest. soo ho was their mailman at first, but then soo ho began to develop feelings for her as well and he even kissed her first, but that boy saw soo ho kissing geu rim. then soo hoo, who was feeling guilty, didn't want to meet the boy and the boy came rushing across the street and got hit instead. he was died and soo ho was feeling guilty up until he met geu rim again.
geu rim then found out that her first love was indeed soo ho, but the other one was the one that sent her letters. soo ho who still kept the letter, gave it to geu rim, and then found out that the boy had found out that soo ho had feeling for geu rim and he decided to give up. his next letters were apparently for soo ho. feeling relieved from his guilt, he finally could move on with his relationship with geu rim. soo ho life also got upside down because his father scandal was out in public, he decided not to cover up for his parents anymore and admitted that their perfect family life was all a lie. but at the end, his dad was the one that's not up for family thing, while soo ho kept in touch with his legal mom, who was changed at the end. on the side, we also see how soo ho's managed got a love story as well.
what i like:
- well, at least they fill in the gap for all the questions in the drama.
- at least his manager got better love story and more exciting/lively that soo ho's. and could we let his manager teach him a thing or two about how to handle a girl?
what i don't like:
- gee... i can't believe someone could actually frown almost all episodes of the drama. if you watched, you'd see that i'm talking about soo ho. up until he was in the clear with his parents and his childhood guilt, soo ho was always frown and cold. until probably couple last episodes, we then start to see him smile.
- the story is boring. pretty flat. with all the problems from his childhood, his parents and this love triangle, all of them don't help with the pretty boring storyline.
- i know that kim soo hyun is a child actress and she is a veteran, but still. ain't she not in her adult year when she filmed this drama? then why filmed her as an adult, with all the drinking scenes and stuff?
rating: 6/10
binge worthy: no
recommended for: those who don't have anything to watch, fans of kim so hyun and maybe yoon do joon.
