KBS World, Sat and Sun, 6.45PM.
KBS weekend dramas never fail to disappoint me because their storylines are always geared towards family, plus they always deliver quality acting. I admit, I stopped following My Daughter, Seo Young (the drama before You're The Best, Lee Soon Shin) ever since Sang Woo and Migyeong had to forcefully break up. Because I am such a fan of both of them as an on-screen couple and after knowing he will end up marrying that stalker girl in the end, I decided that was it. Shallow, I know. Even the main characters and the sad (or rather depressing i.e. in the terms of feelings, not quality) story line couldn't stop me from not watching on tv. You couldn't have guessed who was the greatest fan of this drama. Paps. Yes, Paps. I am not kidding. Since I stopped watching the drama on tv, I ended up reading its recaps on the Internet instead, and love spoiling it for Paps since I'm always ahead of them. If you must know, KBS World broadcasts are lagging behind by a couple of weeks than the original channel showing in South Korea.
I digress. Back to You're The Best, Lee Soon Shin. I was skeptical about the drama at first because of its main characters. Not all idols are good actors, but I was hugely surprised with IU's acting. It wasn't the first time I've seen her in a drama - the first was in Dream High, but her role was a tad minute so I could not really judge her acting then. But in YTB, she really surpassed my expectations. One of the best idol actress, I must say. As for Jo Jung Suk, I've only seen him in The King 2 Hearts, alongside Lee Seung Gi. He had such a serious character then and it was weird seeing him play a funny character in YTB but I soon got used to it.
The good news is, the drama is subbed regularly online! It's usually difficult to find subbed weekend dramas because they are usually more than 50 episodes. I love it when I'm up to the most recent episode because sometimes the wait can be so frustrating and I will just end up reading recaps instead.
