"Gung" (Princess Hours)
was a story of a girl who married into the Korean royal family. She had to endure a lack of freedom, strict rules and protocols, being apart from her family and friends, learning to love a Prince who was distant and cold, being maligned and sent away for the sake of the monarchy. Yet mainly because of a sense of responsibility to her country/family, she stuck with it.
"The Witch Yu Hee"
was about this SuperB* Yu Hee who bullied a guy (Chae Moo-ryung) into being her love-coach and maid. Moo-ryung neglected his girlfriend, had to give up his overseas studies and several rare opportunities to pursue his dreams of being a top chef - just to be her love-coach and maid.
Along the way, he fell in love with Yu Hee and broke up with his long-suffering girlfriend. There were many obstacles too, mainly masterminded by Yu Hee's father, who disapproved of their relationship. Finally, they overcame the problems, and the last scene was those oft-used airport scene. ( Heartbroken Boy leaving for US to pursue his dreams. Looks around airport hoping to see Girl. Girl, finally changes her mind and has to rush to the airport within impossibly short time. By the time she gets there, Boy not found. Sad. Suddenly Boy reappears. They hug and kiss.)
Throughout the show, i kept opposing the two getting together.
Somehow it just doesn't feel right to me.
Wei...Chae Moo-ryung was so irresponsible can!!! He had a girlfriend, and his girlfriend was so understanding. How could he take her for granted? Why didn't he guard his heart?
Plus, Yu Hee hasn't really changed much where it really matters! She only managed to dress better and behave better, but she was the same self-centered person inside!!! Did she care that Moo-ryung had to give up his opportunities? Did she care that his girlfriend was hurt, and their relationship was suffering? Na-ah! She only cared that she had help when she needed, company when she needed, fake-boyfriend when she needed! And when her dad got her company bankrupt and her personal belongings were in danger of being repossessed? She told Moo-ryung it's all because of him and told him to leave her house. And to irk me further, because she turned up at the airport for the closing scene, Moo-ryung once again missed the chance to go to US and pursue his dreams of being a top chef. *fumes* I think i care more about Moo-ryung's future than she does ok! That supercilious self-centred girl. Grrrr...
So, because i don't agree with the values of this show, i hereby declare that The Witch Yu Hee is LOUSY!!!!!!
what's with this "Do what i want, love who i want" culture anyway.
I won't let my kid(s) watch this show.
I'll let them watch Gung, coz the values are right. Plus, Cai-Jin and Shin are so cutely prudish. Good for kids to grow up with shows like this rather than the usual Hollywood jump-into-bed-with-anyone shows.
Yah. I want my kids to be prudish too. =P
[By the way, during CG last night, we concluded that i've got a future prof/PM/nerd in my womb, coz suddenly i enjoy listening to BBC and 92.4]
[By the way, i find that Moo-ryung kinda looks like WJJ. hehe.]
[By the way, staring at the computer screen has made me pukey again.]
[By the way, i'm becoming very good at puking. I can sense when it's coming, i can do it without my hair getting in the way, I can plan my Folic Acid pill around my puking schedule. Clever anot?]
