[Drama Review] Personal Taste

Synopsis:The story revolves around a girl called Park Kae In. She works as a carpenter, which signals that she isn't very lady-like. Kae In has a boyfriend named Han Chang Ryul who works in an architectural firm, but who is also cheating on her with her best friend Kim In Hee. Even more bizarrely, they are getting married without telling Kae In. Chang Ryul father is a cheat who bribes employers to choose their design over the other contestants, unlike his rival Jeon Jin Ho, who always plays with a clean hand. When he keeps losing to Chang Ryul, he decided that his next project proposal must be his to win. Coincidentally, their next design must be based on a house that Kae In is living in. In order for Jin Ho to win, he concludes that what he must do is get into the house. But at the same time Kae In needed to find a roommate after kicking In Hee out and finding out that her best friend and boyfriends were getting married. Even though she is a tomboy she is uncomfortable with the fact that a guy wants to move in in the same house. To gain her trust (and home) he tells her he is gay. Eventually Kae In accepts him into her home.

My Thoughts:
I think that this drama has to be one of my favourites. Its enjoyable, its sweet and suspenseful. Lee Min Ho who acts as Jeon Jin Ho seems a bit stiff and uncomfortable, unlike his co-worker Son Ye Jin (Park Kae In) who looks like shes really in her character. I saw a glimpse of her previous movie and she looked serious, pretty and convincing. She REALLY pulled or the sudden character change between movies. Kudos to her for her acting :) OMG just like any other drama, there has to be a villain. In this case its the character of Kim In Hee. She cruel and selfish. She's like (literally thinking of an analogy) ...... the "Birds of Paradise" flower.. (LOL look it up if you don't know what it is) pretty to look at but poisoness. One thing i found annoying was when shes in an argument and she gives this "HMPH" expression. She does it ALLL the time. The relationship between Jin Ho and Kae In is one of the best. Kae In is a really naive girl. Once she loves someone she will do anything for them. She doesn't really have self confidence and that's when Jin Ho steps in. He teaches her how not to cling and to stick up for herself. The sweetest guy ^^. The funny characters in this drama are Lee Young Sun who is Kae Ins other best friend and No Sang Joon who is Jin Hos best friends and colleague. Also if people didn't already know, Im Seulong from 2AM is featured in the drama as a guy who loves a girl that loves Jin Ho. He is also soooo cute and funny :). To anyone who will watch this drama, the elevator scene is funnyy :D

Summary:
Personal Taste, also known as Personal Preference, would definately be one of my favourites. I would recommend it to people who like humour and love. I would also buy this drama and watch in many many times in the future. The drama has very memorable unique characters who will get you hooked and wanting to watch more.
