Day 23: A Drama You Looked Forward To But Disappointed You In The End?
Flower Boy Ramen Shop (2011)
Directed By: Jung Jung-hwa
It’s been a long time so my memory is vague, but it’s about a woman surrounded by cute guys working at a ramen shop.
Warning: Spoilers!
Back in 2011, this Korean drama was really hyped up on Dramafever and I was really excited to watch it because of the flower boy male cast (and also the story is set at a ramen shop and I love ramen). I remembered I stayed up until 2 am to finish this drama despite having a 9 am class to go to the next day. When I was done with it, I was mad at the ending because the second lead was a much more suitable match for the main girl instead of the first leading man. Cha Chi-soo (Jung Il-woo) is a bit too immature and childish and always got jealous over Yang Eun-bi (Lee Chung-ah) and Choi Kang-jyuk’s (Lee Ki-woo) friendship. To be honest, I don’t think Yang Eun-bi and Cha Chi-soo’s relationship would last due to his stubbornness and immaturity. At the end, I felt really bad for Choi Kang-jyuk because he was literally the epitome of the perfect man: charming, helpful, and kind. Yet, in the end, he didn’t get the girl.
It’s up to you if you want to watch this drama, but I was personally disappointed in the ending because I don’t think the main leads should be together. Yang Eun-bi and Cha Chi-soo had better chemistry in my opinion.

I’m currently watching Goblin, a drama that I had been looking forward to, but….that one so far has not disappointed me at all. In fact it is even better than I expected: highly recommend that one😀 Great post, but it is always a shame when something that you have been looking forward to disappoints in the end. Well luckily there are still plenty of good dramaseries heading our, that hopefully won’t disappoint.

I felt the same way about this drama. I just couldn’t feel the chemistry at all with the main leads. Normally even if I like the second lead better I am usually ok with the first lead getting the girl. Not in this case though. -_-

That’s exactly how I felt. I wasn’t satisfied at all. I’m glad to know that you feel the same way.

I was really looking forward to the J-drama version of Mars, but I was very disappointed. The Taiwanese version was so much better.

It’s always girl win by bad guys in kdrama as you see flower boy ramyun shop, boys over flowers and others. The drama where I have watched good guy win over the girl is ‘dream high’ must watch drama Kim soo hyun, Suzy, IU and techyon in it!

Yeah, those characters have charisma. I watched Dream High. I like Kim Soo hyun, but not much of a fan of Suzy.
