My Name is Kim Sam Soon

MNIKSS is a very realistic (most of the time) Korean drama that is extremely funny and entertaining. It is also my first Korean drama that I finished watching. I gave this a chance because everybody said how good this was and it wasn't a disappointment but some of the episodes/story lines were a little bit slow pace/draggy. Nevertheless, this is still a good drama and a must-watch.

Kim Sun Ah: She's really funny and vulgar! A lot of people find her annoying since she can be kind of mean but she is the star of this drama! 5*****

Hyun Bin: He's so mean but cute that you can't hate him. He did the whole "I'm an arrogant, rich boy" role well. 5*****

Jung Ryu Won: I sometimes found her annoying but her character was pitiful and sad so I couldn't hate her for being in the love triangle (I don't really consider her the third wheel). 5*****

Daniel Henney: He's really hot but his character was kind of useless. It seem that he was casted only because they wanted a hot actor who could speak English (lol!). 3***

Kim Sun Ah+Hyun Bin: They were cute but I still don't really like the whole older woman and younger man relationship. 4****

Hyun Bin+Jung Ryu Won: They fitted better in terms of looks but there weren't really any chemistry. 3***

Jung Ryu Won+Daniel Henney: They look great together but there weren't really any chemistry either. 3***

OST: I didn't really like any of the songs. 2**

Rating: 3.5*** Maybe I got some of my hopes up since I consider this a better drama than "My Girl" and "Goong".
