[Review] My P.S. Partner – 나의 P.S. 파트너

R-RATED PILLOW TALK

When Yoon Jung (Kim Ah Joong) accidentally dials the wrong number instead of her boyfriend’s and has phone sex with the man on the other end, she finds an unlike confidant in Hyun Seung (Ji Sung).  As they both confide in each other about their relationship woes, an attraction grows between these pillow talk partners.

What a cute, sexy romantic comedy.  I feel like it’s this generation’s version of the classic 1959’s Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson.  With the exception of one hilarious visual gag, Down With Love was a travesty.  Kim Ah Joong and Ji Sung are no strangers to comedy but they also have great onscreen chemistry.

Just Bananas About: Week of 7/30/12

This has got to be my new favorite K-Drama at the moment. I was confused by the fact that they were only going to air 8 episodes and that it was called a sitcom but it seems that they will be airing 2 short format episodes back to back on Tuesday nights.  Each episode should run about 30 to 40 minutes in length and so far I think it’s working for the plot.  The first two episodes were tightly written and edited so that it connected several unrelated character stories within each episode.

[Review] Penny-Pinching Romance – 티끌모아 로맨스

FRUGALITY FOR DUMMIES

What an appropriate movie for these economic times.  Chun Ji Woong (Song Joong Ki) is jobless and about to be homeless.  One day, he meets his neighbor, Gu Hong Shil (Han Ye Seul) who is extremely stingy and sells used stuff for money.

In order to double the return on a lucrative moneymaking opportunity, she pays the rent for Ji Woong’s rooftop apartment and gets him evicted.  She then allows him stay at her rooftop apartment to partner up with him on more moneymaking schemes.
