This year is seriously has a lot of good drama from the middle year till the end of the year. I hope next year, South Korea also has a variety range of drama too. One of the good drama comes out again on Wednesday - Thrusday slot to compete with Uncontrollably Fond and W. Although I am still going more for Uncontrollably Fond, but Jealousy Incarnate is still a good and refreshing drama to watch.
Being set in the broadcasting industry and office live, it reminds me somehow of KBS - Producer and Fated To Love You because Gong Hyo Jin really rocks the sticky note attitude. She plays as Pyo Na Ri, a weather forecaster who failed to join the announcer team. Meanwhile, Jo Jung Suk looks really charismatic and sexy with his skillful acting. He plays as an announcer, Lee Hwa Sin.
Long time ago, Na Ri has a crush on Hwa Sin, but Hwa Sin seems to be cold towards her. He even says that since it is not his feelings, he doesn't have to take responsibility on anything.
Up to episode 1, I haven't got an idea so far what happened between the two of them, but it's clear that Hwa Sin still has feelings for her yet he just doesn't want to admit it. Three years have passed, Na Ri says that when 'he' left three years ago she’d vowed to go Bangkok one day and make him fall in love with her. She’d even thought about taking her clothes off. But life happened, and she never found the time. But this time, she has the chance to go to Bangkok and meet up again with Hwa Sin.
Besides that, Hwa Sin also knows that Na Ri is such a powerless girl who happens to be told to do anything for works since she's a contract employee. It also happens that Na Ri is being asked (well, she volunteer too) to go to Bangkok as long as she gets paid in advance. That's because Na Ri has to collect as much money to pay for her brother. Chi Yeol's study and also for their monthly rent, and thus she volunteers to go. When she arrived at Bangkok, Hwa Sin recognizes her and says that when they work together, Na Ri shouldn't lose her focus nor get disctracted.
Since there is no makeup artist, hairstylish and stylish, Hwa Sin is then helped by Na Ri and he seems to be pissed off with the filming condition which in turn makes him to tell Hwa Sin's superior to just be a man, clarifying with him regarding about the filming conditions instead of sending Na Ri as his shield, a powerless girl who can just ask him to understand the situation. He also told Na Ri's superior to stop telling the weather forecaster to show off their figures or telling them to do anything when they are on camera. In the office, Na Ri has no such to be appreciated since she only appears for 60 seconds for weather forecast, but her biggest dream is still to become a decent announcer. She tends to do things for other workers and somehow in my eyes, she becomes like the subject of being told to go here and there.
However, she finds herself a fan, who happens to know that she's a weather forecaster, on the plane to Bangkok. She doesn't even believe it herself that there is someone who notices that she made mistakes everytime she was aired. This fan is actually Go Jung Won (played by Go Kyung Pyo), Hwa Sin's long time friend. Na Ri then asks Jung Won to call or make complaint to the TV station when he watches her again and finds that she makes mistake. Jung Won, himself, was taken by surprised by Na Ri and denies that he is her fan, since he just watches her a few times only. However, Na Ri was too happy and already falls for Jung Won for his good manners, attitude and personality, specially when he treats her in such a way that nobody ever appreciates her. It's so much interesting to see how the love triangle will be built on later on.
On the other hand, Hwa Sin has a brother who happened to get married to Hwa Sin's senior. The first one is to Kye Sung Suk (played by Lee Mi Sook) and the second one with Bang Ja Young (played by Park Ji Young) who has a daugther, her name is Ppal Gang. With so much veteran actors and actress, I guess this drama off to a good start. I am admiring Lee Mi Sook many times in other dramas and I really thought that she is a talented actress. Not only the main lead has the story but the supporting casts will also have a lot to go on and this means the story will get much interesting than before.
So, this is one of my list to watch ~
