| "He's Right Behind Me, Isn't He?" Gong HyoJin in Master's Sun |
While I wait for the final episode of Hanzawa Naoki to get translated, I've been biding my time taking a turn for the fanciful with the sweet, funny and at times heartbreaking K-drama "Master's Sun"(Jugun-ui Taeyang), the story of a young woman who, yes, sees dead people, and ends up spending most of her time, credibility and sanity trying to help them right wrongs that have kept them on this mortal plane.

| Gong HyoJin and So Ji Sub in Master's Sun |
Tae Gong Shil has somehow acquired spiritual visions from some as-yet-unexplained earlier accident, and since then has been haunted by hoards of ethereal stalkers of sorts, all wanting her to do things for her day and night, to the point where she simply cannot get away from them. One day she comes across a rich president named Jong-Woon whom she finds that somehow, when she is touching him, manages to keep the ghosts at bay. Only problem is, he's a selfish and money-hungry person who sees Gong Shil as nothing more than an eccentric nut who seems to keep hanging around no matter how much he dissuades her!

The drama's got a lot of original ideas going for it already, but the main draw watching this show for me was the cute antics of adorable Gong Hyo Jin, whom I last saw as the bride of Lee Kwang Soo in a hilarious romantic-comedy themed episode of Running Man months ago- she is SO DARN adorable in this show, I could watch it just for her expressions and quirks alone! Luckily, there'a whole lot of other reasons to keep tuning into this one and it already looks like it's shaping up nicely!!!
Below: the cutest single scene in episode one where someone wakes up Gong Shil and tells her that she looked just like a cat sleeping in the sun...
