Romance Town

Rating:***.5


Genre: Comedy, Romance
Episodes: 20 
Cast: Jung Gyu Woon, Kim Min Joon, Lee Jae Yong, Min Hyo Rin, Sung Yu Ri


SYNOPSIS:
"The story of domestic help who work for rich households. No Soon Geum is one of these housekeepers; despite the master-maid heirarchy, she's bold, fearless, and unafraid of doing hard work in order to support herself. As a child, Soon Geum had dreamt of living a grand life in a Cinderella story, complete with her own white knight, but that dream had faded as reality took over. However, she reaches a turning point in her life when she is hired as a maid for the rich and handsome Kang Gun Woo."


REVIEW:
Although the show was worth watching, I have to say that this series has the worst title I have ever seen.  Originally, the title was going to be "maids," which was not that great.  However, there were many complaints about it because the word apparently isn't a great word in Korea.  Truthfully, I really don't know what the big deal is about the original title, as I know very little Korean or it's history.  Anyway, they decided to change it to "Romance Town" instead because of the complaints.  Let me just say that the title only got worse.  Seriously, it sounds like a soap opera.  Maybe this drama is actually supposed to be a soap?

Anyway, as far as comedy is concerned, I wouldn't get too excited.  Although the drama is worth watching, there is practically no comedy.  You're better off watching the news if you want comedy.

The thing I hated the most about it, though, is the end.  Can someone say "WTF?"  It's fine if a drama is a little unrealistic, but this one just takes the cake.

Episodes: 55
Cast: Go Eun Mi, Jung Gyu Woon, Kim Hee Chul, Lee Soo Kyung Ryu Jin


SYNOPSIS:
"Eun-nim Ko (Lee Su-Kyeong) is a young woman preparing for her teacher certification test. She comes from a poor family with her father being chronically sick. Eun-nim then comes across a chance to make money for herself and her family. She opts to become a surrogate mother for a man named Se-hun Baek (Ryu Jin). Through fate and odd luck Eun-nim meets Se-hun's younger brother, Kang-ho Baek (Jeong Kyeo-Woon) and they fall in love."


REVIEW:
I wish I could say that I paid enough attention to it to see all the errors, but I really wasn't all that interested in it.  It was interesting, but I think I enjoyed playing Sudoku more than I did watching the show.  (Yes, I played a lot of Sudoku while watching this series.)  I know that if I'm going to be reviewing a drama, I should at least pay attention to the screen, but I haven't had much of an attention span this week.  I don't think it helped that I find most melodramas boring.

All in all, it's a nice series to watch if you have a lot of time on your hands, but it is just not for me.
