The Accidental Couple

There's a Korean show airing on KBS World which I think is worth the watch. I came across the 2nd episode of the show by accident. I was about to change the channel, when I got hooked to the storyline. Its about a humble postman who found himself in a friendship with an A-list celebrity. At least, that was what he thought: friendship. Instead he realize he was only there to act as her boyfriend in front of everyone, then ignoring him behind closed doors. She was still in love with a wuss who won't stand up to his father to defend their relationship. Instead the wuss was willing to be engaged to a woman his father chose him: a daughter of a successful businessman.

The guy who acted as the humble postman isn't that handsome. In fact, he's not handsome at all. Why they decided to go with that guy as their main cast, I have no idea. In a selling-point point of view, when a first time viewer sees the first few seconds, they won't be attracted to the show because the main lead is not good looking. And on top of that, the couple were such a mismatch. The idea of having a weak and dumb looking guy with an over-empowering woman, just makes me feel the 'relationship' will not develop into something serious in the end. Maybe just good friends and nothing else. It won't become one of those friends-turn-boyfriendgirlfriend thing. Korean drama almost always ends with romance. So perhaps in this show, there won't be romance for an ending? Or perhaps he'd grow out of the dumb looking guy and turns into a masculine one?

But if they took the time to pay attention to the storyline, then perhaps they'd be as hooked as me. Just my view. I'd give this show a chance. The ending of the 2nd episode just got interesting with a reporter moving in to expose their fake relationship.
