Lucky Romance is frustrating. The plot isn’t anything special and all in all it’s really nothing new.
BUT what makes this worth watching is some of the cast members. *ahem* Ryu Joon Yeol
Cast: Ryu Joon Yeol as Je Soo Ho is BEYOND adorable. Of course I’m superficial and initially I was unsure about him but he was amazing. I liked him almost immediately. I loved the way he played his character. Ryu Joon Yeol made Je Soo Ho into a really unique male lead and that made him the most refreshing part of Lucky Romance. Watching him fall in love was the cutest thing and it made me sooo jealous of Shim Bo Nui. Ryu Joon Yeol is what makes this drama worth watching. Also, his smile is cuteness overload!!
My other two favorites were Hang Ryang Ha by Jung Sang Hoon and Dal Nim by Lee Cho Hee. Ryang Ha was the perrrfect comic relief. He was so hilarious and I loved his relationship with Je Soo Ho. I love a good bromance. I wish he had had more screen time because his scenes were always a highlight for me. That brings me to Dal Nim who is also super adorable! I feel like her character would have been the annoying supporting character if not played by Lee Cho Hee. She made Dal Nim so precious and I just wanted to be best friends with her and protect her from the world. Together they were super precious.
Shim Bo Nui… I don’t know, it’s not that I minded her character all the time but there were whole episodes were I couldn’t help rolling my eyes. She was super cute with Je Soo Ho when she wasn’t being an idiot. I just couldn’t handle that she was a constant worrier and was always needing to be talked back into reality. Maybe it drove me crazy because I’m that way but I could not handle how dumb she was. The writers made her character almost seem mentally ill with how far they took the whole bad luck thing. Je Soo Ho basically became her babysitter and was constantly having to drag her back to reality. Hwang Jung Eum did her best to portray her as likeable but Bo Nui was just too unstable.
Plot: I don’t really need to go into detail but basically the plot is not very original. There isn’t really anything that sets it apart as being unique besides a few well written characters. It definitely starts out slow as many of the reviews mention and it quickly picks up momentum as the main couple’s relationship progresses. I could not handle the last couple episodes though as they revolve around Bo Nui being sooo stupid. Ugh, I’m sorry but I just don’t have the patience for stupid characters. And that last kiss though I have some serious beef with that!
I would recommend this if you like romance and super cute male leads. Just be aware that this is a pretty basic kdrama and it definitely has it’s frustrating cliche moments. Also, the first couple and last couple episodes are not that great.
