I watched a Korean drama last week which left me thinking hard and I still don't get it till now. It was titled "Playful Kiss" (if you are a Korean drama lover, you would know what I am talking about here) where a girl was in love with a boy through her high school period and the college. The girl latched herself onto the boy even after she was rejected and insulted publicly, mocked and ignored most of the times. Still this girl loves only this guy and even though she got married to the guy finally, still she was treated casually as though she meant nothing to the guy. The guy still got to do what he wanted to do down to being friend with an ex girl friend and ignored his wife.
I just don't get it how a girl stays in love after those bad treatments of the guy? Is the writer a male nerd who wanted to write a story about a girl of his own fantasy? Is the producer has such low opinion on female that he portrait the girl as the dumb?
If it was me, I would hide myself after the first public rejection and insult and tried hard to forget him and move on.

Any sensible person would do what you say you would do. But a drama is not a drama unless there is a bit of melodrama. That should explain how the story developed in the play. Emotion and logic have equal importance in love. For a drama, logic is a big no-no.

Yeah that story is a bit annoying. How could a girl be so martyr? I mean who would want to be with such a rude guy right?

Hahaha... Indeed. I mean some movie can be fictitious and still cute. This one just irks me. The anime version is kinda better. "Itazura na Kiss".

Hi jenny..
I am addicted to drama.... and try to write some scripts as well. Here i would like to mention that a writer should not go for a community, gender, country, race or something else. He is bound to establish some morality throughout his plays. I have not seen this dramatic attitude of that writer as you have described. Very bad.

Wow, I would like to learn how to write some scripts... Must be fun.
Yeah, there are many dramas that for the sake of longer air time, the write has to elaborate and write something 'out of the line' to reach the aim. May ends badly, and several are something as bad as this one I described where it is almost impossible to understand. If it is a science-fiction I can understand it, but this is romance...

Hello jenny,
I don't know why they would make such a movie. She, unfortunately never learned how to give him up and move along, too bad. I don't think there is any such person who would want to endure so much pain in her/his life, and stick to the person they love, even though they know they are not going to get anything from it. It could be that the story writer is probably making a character out of his wildest fantasies ? I don't know. 
All i know is that i am not going to watch such a production where there is no proper ending. I am guessing at last she finally kills herself ? 
By the way, this is for you, Jenny!

Hehe.. :) I don't know what i would do with that DVD. I would not recommend others to watch it either. If only the story writer made it a happy ending one then it would have been cute, but no.. The guy never realizes the girls love for him, marries her and still loves some other girl. So sad. :(@jennyze (7028)

Luv you...
Yeah, I did not see you for a long time and I am just glad that you made it here in my discussion. Yes, I don't think there is one who can endure such pain, so while watching I was in a tug of war situation between wanting to end it and throw away the DVDs and wanting to know how such thing ends. It ends in marriage between the girl and the guy but the guy treated her the same even after the marriage...

I know that you would not do that to a girl, as you wrote a long time ago that you will be faithful and love only one girl through eternity. Now that sounds so sweet and does really sounds as being too good to be true to me. You know Voldie, I am just a hard to please woman...

I do not know anything about Korean dramas. In Italy and France, we have some "psychological" movies which were called dramas 50 years ago, and what I noticed in the last decade was an increasing number of movies made by women where the guys were receiving bad treatments. When a man makes such movie against women, he is a horrible male chauvinist and has to change his name to make another movie ; when a woman do this, she has made "an author's movie"
.
Except if they are comedies, these movies are always bad for me.
I like the good old popular melodramas, with a keen public. Years ago I was going to see them just for the public, the women crying and the men yelling against the actors when something terrible was happening on the stage
. For true drama, I like the response of webearn in the first box : a good drama finds a balance between emotion and logic

Well, I take it for granted that the writer is male as well as the producer. It could be written and produced by dumb women now that I re-think about it. The fact is that I don't appreciate anything that is out of a human nature whether it was written by male or female. Just as you said, except for comedy.
Korean drama are famous amongst Asian people as well as K-pop (Korean pop) songs. Some are really good, so I keep watching a new Korean drama for wanting to have entertained as before. I guess I should really read the synopsis and notice the actors or actresses before watching just any dramas.
