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!!!
