Okay. I’m a little bit pissed. Crunchyroll, what is wrong? I have been a member of that site for quite a while, enjoying watching the movies and dramas on that site, only to keep finding out that everything is being deleted. And I thought YouTube was bad. No, I think this is becoming worse. I go on there today to watch a movie, in less than two hours, its licensed and I can’t watch it. Unbelievable.
Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on with that site? Because I don’t even want to deal with it anymore. I really don’t. It takes up too much of my time to check that damn site to see if the videos that I have favorited are still there or not. It’s getting ridiculous and I’m fed up with it.
Sorry for acting this way about it, but I had to get it out. My own way of venting. So, I won’t be posting any Crunchyroll links anymore for the simple reason that there aren’t any to post in the first place. So thanks for reading, and if anyone can think of better sites I can use, please feel free to leave a comment and point me in the right direction.

My Love Patzzi is a Korean drama that is based on a Korean folk story similar to Cinderella, starring Jang Nara, Kim Rae Won, Kim Jae Won, and Hong Eun Hee. This drama aired from August 2002 to September 2002 with 10 episodes.
Main Cast:
Jang Na Ra as Yang Song Yi
Kim Rae Won as Kim Hyun Sung
Kim Jae Won as Kang Seung Joon
Hong Eun Hee as Eun Hee Won
Synopsis: Song Yi is a girl with a pure heart with a bad temper. She was tricked and humiliated by her “best friend” Hee Won as a child. From then on, Hee Won has always been the princess and successful while everyone mistook Song Yi as the evil child. When Song Yi did not have a job, Hee Won introduced her to the amusement park that she is in charge of. There she found her childhood friend and ex-crush Hyun Sung, who Hee Won has “stole” when they were kids. From then on, Hee Won tried to humiliate Song Yi many times, framing her in many situations that Hee Won has created herself. To get back at Hee Won, she decided to break the train that the park was launching so that Hee Won would be blamed. Little did she know that she caused more damage and that the train caught on fire. What was worse was that the son of the president of the park was in the train. Ridden with guilt, Song Yi risks her own life to save the life of Seung Joon. Seung Joon fell in love with Song Yi for her brave spirit and charming attitude, but what will happen to their relationship when Hee Won exposes to the world of what she has done?

Review: Okay, so My Love Patzzi. It’s a relatively short drama considering Korean dramas in general, only ten episodes. And to be honest, I like it that way. I like shorter dramas because things happen faster instead of the drama being dragged out. Sometimes it’s necessary and sometimes it’s not. So anyway, this is a really cute drama with Jang Nara, Kim Jae Won, and Kim Rae Won.
Kim Jae Won and Kim Rae Won. The question is always which one does everyone prefer. One quick question, why? They really aren’t alike and this is the only drama where they are together. Maybe it’s because their names are very close, but other than that, not much a like. Personally, I like Kim Jae Won better, but that’s because I’ve seen him in more dramas than Kim Rae Won. But in this drama I was definitely rooting for Kim Rae Won’s character for Jang Nara’s character! I think they are definitely cute together.
So, the whole plot kind of revolves around the Cinderella-like story of Patzzi. Song Yi has an “evil step-sister” that has painted her as this horrible person, while she is actually the conniving little witch! Ugh, she bothers me, but it adds to the drama of the story. So in the end, she is revealed as the evil master mind behind everything. So that’s good.
The love triangle isn’t that unique. I mean it’s definitely one that is familiar. The one guy secretly loves her and the other one is kind of needy. I think the thing that made it a little more unique was the fact that Song Yi saved Seung Joon’s life, or so he likes to think.
So, to see who she ends up with, I would definitely watch it. It’s only ten episodes. If you like Kim Rae Won and Kim Jae Won then you should probably see it. It’s a good, nice, short love story. I can hardly find it anywhere though! But I did finally find one link. So enjoy!!!
