Dec 2010 Drama Mary Stayed Out All Night


Mary Stayed Out All NIGHT

Plot:
Korean Actress Moon Geun Young (Known for My little Bride, Innocent Step, etc) is back as Wi Mae Ri (Pronounce MARY). A sweet, honest girl who is born to a father who is a bad business man with too much debt. Like any typical love drama she finds herself with accidental encounter with a guy name Kang Moo Kyul (played by Jang Geun Suk) that starts out forming relationship through misunderstanding and obligations. If her life wasn't complicated, she comes to find out that she has a informal marriage obligation set by her father to Byun Jung In (played by Kim Jae Wook).

REVIEW (SPOILER ALERT!): The first two episodes I watched really showed me how much Moon Geun Young is a capable actress. At first when I saw her with that long curly hair, I thought "Oh Great! Distraction." I really hate it when Korean drama tend to impress audience through props and fancy clothes to hide the actors/actress skill. However, Moon Geun Young's style really show. The sound of her voice is appropriate with her new look and the honestly of her character is portray by her subtle pauses and manner.
This is in contrast to the character Kang Moo Kyul. No offense to Jang Geun Suk, I like his acting on the drama "You're Beautiful." His mean demeanor-yet touching character really told the audience he cared for the protagonist (Park Shin Hye-who I found really wrong for the part). But in this drama he is suppose to play the loyal/lonely/hard to trust/mysteries character. At first you can see his devotion to his band when he pays off the violation fee to his manager to stay with his band. But when it come to him and Moon Geun Young I did not feel the conflict of trust. The whole chasing scene where Moon Geun young goes to get his signature to avoid suing her, was lacking. The only part where you see his "hard to trust" was when he told her blatantly he never sign anything because people messed with him in the past. Where is his reluctance? I only find him appropriate for this part base on his looks, long hair, and sheek clothes.

You should expect from this Drama a "Love Square." There is another male actor Jan Wook Kim as Jung In Byun and another female actress Hyo Jin Kim as Joon Seo. Basically

Wi Mae Ri -LIKES-> <-LIKES-Kang Moo Kyul Wi Mae Ri -WILL COME TO TRUST-> <-WILL COME TO LOVE- Jung In Byun Jung In Byun -Curruent Interest-> Joon Seo
Joon Seo- Currently Love-> Kang Moo Kyul
In the end the basic come to realization to love by protagonist (Wi Mae Ri) is expected.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT? (1 Bored to distract thoughts of suicide-10 Must watch & Avoid Sleep)

YES - score of 7. Basically you should watch it but only if you have some free time.
