Shopingwang Looi

Honestly, I didn't want to watch this show. I watched it because I was bored. I didn't expect anything good but this show surprised me. It was a beautiful yet simple love story. What makes this show special is that the main lead is not an arrogant, emotionless boss. He cries when he wants to, he laughs when he wants to and says the perfect things when he wants to. He opens up his heart in the show. The main lead was the best part of the show & the actress wasn't bad either. She complimented the male lead. Another thing was that the unique concept of shopaholic added humor and made this show worthwhile. What is different about this from the rest of the rom-com is that they both go through difficult times and it's the female lead that pulls up the hero & the hero isn't a jerk. Of course, it had its flaws. Towards the end, they forget that the title was about the shopaholic man & doesn't much talk about it. It becomes very much predictable. Yet I can say I didn't want it to end. So if you want to watch a simple yet good romcom that is diffrent from the rest. This show is the one to go for.I loved it. Louis was a memorable character & so was mr cha.

The story revolves around Louis who although is the only to heir to one of the biggest korean company GoldLine. But has only his grandmother as family. So he seeks interest in buying and collecting and is a passionate about shopping. Seo In Guk's performance is above ordinary and he portrayed the character so well. The plot moves at a beautiful pace and leave you craving for more. Comic elements fit perfectly and Romance is a bonus. A Highly recommend Must Watch Korean Drama Series.

It is a light k drama with good actors and an okay story.

The leads have done very good acting and also their chemistry was good enough, Story is okay but i think the show became slow specially during last 4-5 episodes. Romance could have been a bit better and also the story could be made a bit more interesting.

I overall liked the show but one thing i found strange that side characters stories were left hanging, i think writers were a bit confused on how to finish side characters stories so i think the ending could have been better.

Overall i think the show is good, the lead characters are adorable. If you are looking for a light k drama with a bit of romance and comedy then go for it.

I absolutely loved this show! Were there some bits of the story that were far-fetched? Yes, however, these things definitely did not make or break the story for me. At it's heart this is a show about love, kindness, and being selfless. This is a very heartwarming show that made me smile and believe in love.

That being said there were some flaws: as I mentioned above there were a few plot points that definitely felt far-fetched. There were also some unlikable characters. But there were a ton of wonderful characters that outweighed the bad ones. Louis and Bok Sil's love story is one of the sweetest I have ever seen in a Kdrama, and I loved the softness of Louis' character. This is well worth a watch if you are looking for something sweet, not too heavy, and happy.

This drama is a cute, innocent love story between Louie, a naïve chaebol who loses his memory after an accident, and Go Bok-sil, a warm-hearted country girl who tries to find her brother. Both meet in Seoul, not knowing how to navigate through city life. Bok-sil takes care of Louie after she founds him on the streets with her brother's clothes on and not having any memory about who he is. Although he seems to exploit her, as she goes to work, and he doesn't do anything else than spending her money because habits survive amnesia, it's clear from the beginning that both characters have very warm, loving personalities. Whenever he can, Louie gives a thousand times back, and the way they care for each other is just cute and heart-warming.

I really enjoyed this light-hearted romance with non-toxic main characters. They act so loving around each other that you totally believe being with each other just gives them happiness. They don't try to hide their feelings or play games or whatever characters do in dramaland to drag the story. In the second half, I felt Go Bok-sil acted a bit out of character for a while, overall, the writers kind of loose focus on her and concentrated more on Louie. Her character and story could have been integrated better into the main plot in the last few episodes, and, besides being cute together, the two main leads need some deeper conversations to show their relationship has more to it. Still, I enjoyed them together, and apart from the always present jealousy in K-Dramas, their relationship felt honest and genuine. From all the K-Dramas I've seen so far, it's the first one were the main characters don't get drunk.

I didn't care much for most of the side characters. Even the second leads aren't that deeply developed. Yoon Sang-hyun does a great job in portraying Cha Joong-won as the second male lead and boss of Go Bok-sil, but, apart from his rude behavior, he felt annoying over time. I'm sorry but I can't root for a man around his forties falling for a twenty-year-old girl who doesn't have any feelings for him, and I think it would have been so much better and meaningful portraying him as a fatherly figure rather than a second love interest. His interfering with Bok-sil's and Louie's relationship is cringe and overstepping, but at least it creates some funny scenes.

Overall, "Shopping King Louie" is a light watch with two very warm and giving main leads, lots of cute moments and a few sadder ones as well. Still, the plot never feels dark, so it's perfect for a rainy weekend when you need something to lift you up.
