When the Camelia Blooms:
Dear Gong Hyo Jin, you are one of my fav actresses. Playing the doormat again, though??? How many times is this?? Why?? I mean, sure, you do it so well, but… AGAIN???
So far, Dongbaek has really not lived up to my expectations of a “quiet, resilient and cool” person. She is the epitome of all Candies. Same as in Master’s Sun, the Greatest Love and even Jealousy Incarnate. Over and over again.

Whyyyyyyyyy?

    *Pasta trauma flashbacks*
    I can’t see her be a doormat again. I think I’m opting out.

      I’m so irritated… I mean, yes, we’re all very different and yes, there are shy, quiet people on this planet but… This is the millionth time she plays this role! That might actually be why she got picked too!
      I was so proud of her bolder nature in “It’s okay, it’s love” and now, well, now we’re back to the Queen of Candies, the Sea Biscuit teacher of all kind-hearted, earnest and mousy Candies.

      She and Jang Na Ra should have a face off.

      * throws hands up in irritation*

      (On the other hand, her son and the Police Officer are absolutely delightful!)

        Queen of Candies, the Sea Biscuit teacher of all kind-hearted, earnest and mousy Candies

        This is my new favourite quote ever. Biscuit Teacher was just… as bad as Pasta. I quite liked Jealousy Incarnate but that’s the only drama of hers I think I enjoyed. And she’s such a great actor. I guess you can get typecast.

      I didn’t even bother passed ep1 with “Pasta”. Lee Sun-Kyun was a 1st Class Douchebag. (a clear contrast to his very likeable roles in Coffee Prince and My Ahjusshi)

        Really? You are breaking my heart a bit because I really like him as an actor. What has he done?

    Ugh it is so frustrating! So type cast and I really enjoyed her character in Its Okay. I absolutely loathe the characters she plays BUT I just cannot hate her. I can’t. She is too good an actress to detest.
