Tuesday is back~^^ I have just
finished watching the first episode of the new KBS TV drama “Radio Romance” and I can’t wait to see
more! At first, it might seem that the plot is nothing special, but trust me,
from the first hour I could tell that it was going to be different at the level
of emotional connection. I already have so many questions about the characters’
past, yet so little answers…
While I am impatiently waiting
the for the second episode to watch out, because I’ve so many drama I haven’t
watch yet.. let us take a look what our two leading characters Song Geurim and
Ji Suho are made of.
Geurim is a radio show writer,
she has been doing it for 5 years now, but the improvements in writing are
nowhere to be seen. Throughout the whole episode 1 she is being put down by her
bosses, but she does not give up. When the idol who is the DJ for their show “Mi Nu's Happy 6pm” does not show up, she is trying to fill in and plays it off cool. When he
suddenly decides to leave the country “to find his true self”, she chases him
to the airport because of how much she values her job. Despite all the had
comments she hears, she is high-spirited, determined to what she does, and
persistent. No matter how much she dislikes Suho, when told to cast him as the
DJ, she spends the nights studying everything about him, gets on the set of his
drama, keeps begging and bugging him just to make him participate in the show.
Suho is a famous actor, whose
posters are all over, and whose image, at this point, is sweet and angelic. He
comes from the perfect family, and his parents seem to be noble people who
raised him right. But then he stumbles upon Geurim, and something clicks in his
head. He gets grumpy, and we witness his confidence overflowing as he is
teasing the radio show writer; first acting interested in her show, and then
pretending that he does not know her at all; being cold and unsympathetic to
her actions, but then worrying as he is watching Geurim re-do the drama scene
20 times.
Yet both characters’ lives are
not that simple. The reason why Geurim connected her life to radio is because
of how often she listened to the radio with her mother, who is blind. When her
mom asked her to paint pictures with words, she set a goal to become writer for
radio shows, perhaps, for her dear one to listen. Despite all the difficulties
she had, she is strong and full of enthusiasm. Suho, meanwhile, is having
nightmares and is clearly detached from everyone, even his manager, who is
doing best; his family seems to be like a fact act too. I wonder, what happened
that made him act mean towards Geurim, and why is he alienated from others?
What kind of connection did these two have when they were children/teens?
Don’t miss the next episode!
The fifth episode on air tonight.
