[SEVEN FIRST KISSES]
The excitement was real when it was announced that Lotte Duty Free was making a promotional web series and seven of Korea's top male actors were going to be in it. Everyone went crazy, I did, because when the first six lead actors were announced, it was heaven. I mean, Lee Joon gi, Park Hae jin, Ji Chang wook, Kai, Ok Taecyon, and Lee Jong suk in one web series? Dream series of every girl!! And the hype didn't stop there because when they finally revealed that the last lead actor was going to be Lee Min ho, Oh. My. God. Have I told you how much I love Lee Min ho?! So there, I was sold the moment I found out that Lee Jong suk, Ji Chang wook and Taecyon would be in it but when I heard that Lee Min ho would be in it too? OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod!
First among the seven is Lee Joon gi, a handsome, rich guy, who suddenly marches in front of Soo jin at her desk telling her he's going to wait for her outside. Of course, Soo jin is stunned when she realizes that Joon gi is actually talking to her. Later, she's surprised to see Joon gi waiting and leading her inside his car after asking to just give him a chance to spend the day with her.
I'm not a big Lee Joon gi fan but I like him as this tech billionaire who pampers his girlfriend! And that little video by the end of the episode is really sweet!! :)
Next one is the strict but romantic boss, Park Hae jin. After the "kiss" Joon gi and Soo jin shared, Soo jin finds herself back on the same spot before that Lee Joon gi experience happened. And looking at the cards in front of her, it surprises Soo jin to see Lee Joon gi's photo now on it. Enter Park Hae jin, Soo jin's boss who catches her using her cellphone during work. Because of it Hae jin confiscates the cellphone telling her to get it at his office after work. So Soo jin drops by his office to get her cellphone after work but ends up having dinner with Hae jin. Later, their story turns dark when Soo jin finds pictures of her at Hae jin's table. Thinking that Hae jin is a stalker or something, she runs away.
I personally like this episode because I like boss-likes-employee stories and I actually didn't expect this web series to get a little dark. Lol. And either way, Soo jin and Hae jin get to share a moment alone and I liked Hae jin's straightforwardness!
Just like what happened with Joon ki, Soo jin finds herself back on the same spot as before right after "kissing" Park Hae jin. Aww :"( Then we are given a new man in the name of Ji Chang wook! After realizing that Hae jin is gone now, Soo jin receives an envelop from his actual boss saying it is for her without any explanation. Naturally, Soo jin opens it and inside is a usb. Later, when she's walking home, Ji Chang wook suddenly grabs her into an alley retrieving the usb. After a while, Chang wook says his goodbye to Soo jin and is about to leave but a gun to his head stops him. He's been followed by some goons but good thing Soo jin is there because it turns out that she's a former agent and she's able to handle those goons.
I love Ji Chang wook and I think stories like this (like Healer and K2) really suits him. I love him with guns and fighting and doing dangerous jobs because it means I get to see him sweaty and bloody and worked up and I liked seeing him worked up! HAHAHA. And, and! Dramas like this always end up with the guy protecting the girl with his life!
Returning to her desk after the "kiss" with Chang wook, Soo jin feels frustrated for being with those men but not actually having even one of them as her boyfriend. (I'd feel bad if I was her too!) Distracting her from her thought, we then see Soo jin being called by her boss and introducing her to a Chinese couple who need an interpreter. And suddenly Soo jin surprises even herself by speaking and translating Chinese. After a while, she gets a call and we see Kai waiting for her to pick up on the other end of the line. While walking home, she wonders who she's going to meet this time. And ta-da, Kai appears in front of her. She then realizes that she's Kai's Chinese tutor. Soon they're enjoying a date; walking around, doing funny stuff and eating. Soo jin actually still feels frustrated because she wants to keep seeing Kai but of course life (or fate) always has its way of ruining things.
This episode is actually adorable and that rain scenes is REALLY sweet. I admit I don't like Kai (maybe because my sister hates EXO) but this character fits him well. Anyway, I'm getting frustrated for Soo jin as well but wait for it, Soo jin! Hihi :")
This time, Taec yeon is Soo jin's boyfriend and she can't help but be happy. Taec yeon is a chaebol who only wants to date Soo jin, buying her everything that can make her happy. But of course Taec yeon's mother doesn't approve of Soo jin and tries to separate the two but Teac yeon feelings for Soo jin are true and so he fights for her until the end. (Uhh! Sounds like your typical drama) He then holds a press conference announcing he's giving up his inheritance from his family so he can marry Soo jin. (Uhhhhhhhh! Soooo sweeeeeeet!)
It's actually a funny episode and I laughed a lot when I watched this. Soo jin just wanted to kiss Taec yeon so it would end because she can't handle the drama but Taec yeon isn't ready to give her up just yet. The part where Soo jin is forcing Taec yeon to kiss her is really funny! And when Taec yeon is doing the press conference and some reporter asks who's the woman next to her? I'd die of happiness when my rich boyfriend (if I have one and if he's rich) answers the way he did! Like, seriously!
And then the ending cracked me up, again, when Soo jin is trying to stop Taec yeon from kissing her because she knew that if he does then he's going to disappear.
Feeling dejected once again, Soo jin is back on her desk. And knowing that only one last blank card is left doesn't help at all. But her disappointment disappears as soon as she sees the next man she's meant to meet. Lee Jong suk's smile is melting her heart and she can't believe she's shooting a commercial with him. But Soo jin is nervous and she's not an actress so the shoot is not going well. Luckily, Jong suk is there to give her some pointers (and butterflies in stomach!) Feeling that Soo jin is nervous, Jong suk asks the director to give them a short break so he can talk to Soo jin privately. The break gives Jong suk and Soo jin time to know each other better and it somehow helps because after it the shoot finally goes well. Except for that last part where they're not supposed to shoot a kissing scene but they did.
Waaaaaahh. I know I'm biased (because I REALLY REALLY LOVE Jong suk!) but this is my most favorite episode! I mean, just look at him! How can you not fall for a guy like Lee Jong suk? He's a great actor and he's really charming!
Feeling disheartened, Soo jin tries to convince herself that it was a wonderful experience that she got to date those celebrities she doesn't stand a chance to date in real life. Then, out of nowhere, Ji woo just suddenly reappears telling her it's not over yet. This time Ji woo finally asks her to choose just one celebrity she likes and she will send her back to that moment when they were about to kiss. And that's when Soo jin went crazy for she doesn't know who to choose! Huhuhu :"( The dilemma of choosing among 6 handsome celebrities!
With the thought that she gets to choose one among the 6 celebrities she met earlier, Soo jin feels really happy and is working merrily that her boss commends her about it. And then, suddenly, slowly, heart flutteringly, Lee Min ho walks up to Soo jin's desk.
At first Soo jin thought that Min ho belongs to the celebrities she can choose from so she braves it and tries to make some connections with him asking where did we meet before? and such. But it turns out that Min ho is just an author of some travel book and he doesn't even know Soo jin. Still thinking Min ho is pretending, she embarrassingly tells Min ho that he just wants to ask her out on a date. She even boldly ask if he wants to have her number and tells him that he'll eventually come to like her. Quite taken a back, Min ho explains that she's gotten the wrong idea and tries to talk to the other employees at the Information Desk, inquiring about something. Finally realizing that she actually got the wrong idea, Soo jin begins to feel ashamed of what she did. After work, we see her walking out while finishing Min ho's travel book. And then there he is, calling after her.
They say hi and Soo jin apologizes for her behavior earlier, saying she mistook him for someone else. Min ho, of course, forgives her. Then Soo jin talks about Min ho's book, that she enjoyed it and loved a quote from it. "It's daily life to search for something that will love me. But searching for something I will love is a journey." Min ho admits that not many readers get the real meaning of what he really wanted to say but surprisingly she did. And I think in that moment they made a connection! *Squeal*
And then, and then! Soo jin asks why he'd called her and Min ho tells her that she dropped something then producing a familiar card from his pocket and handing it to her.
And of course Soo jin is happy for she doesn't need to choose anymore! :D
Lee Min ho equals Lee Jong suk so this episode is also my favorite! HAHAHA. (And because I can't really choose between the two of them, I'll just have them both!) I really love this web series and if only they made it into a full drama then it'd be wonderful! I also like the message it says that we don't need to push ourselves to people who don't love us and just find someone we love. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone who basically loves Kdrama! :)
