Shopingwang Looi

I feel frustrated these days, so i need a funny and simple drama to watch.. i need that kind of warmth and also not a cringe one, i found that in shopping king louis.

I thought i wouldn't complete the show after the half of the first episode, but the acting of the main lead the actor was great and very smooth and fun.

The second lead actor, i liked him since the drama " the secret garden", he did also a great job here. The actress also, the friend, the family, the coworkers.. everyone is acting very well.

The osts are amazing, the clothes, the story lines.

BUT.. the last 4 episodes were so dragging, i liked them though, but it was obvious they needed 16 episodes by all the means.

Thank you for the happy times i spend with this drama, thank you korea.

(Note) the actress hair colour kept changing in different scenes.

EDIT i have just seen the last episode now.. i cried a lot, this is how i react with happy endings. Thank you all for your great efforts.

My favourite show ever not just fav kdrama. every actor in this is perfect. i had this is my netflix list for ages cos i dint think too much of preview, finally watched it and it is great. have watched it 8 times now, i just love it, the sweet innocence of it is nice.

I loved this show. It was great. It was never boring not even for a second. The story was funny and made me happy, sad, mad in a good way. They did a great job on this story. The acting was great. All the actors and actress did a great job in this show. The makeup, hair and outfits were on point the whole time. The setting was super pretty. I could tell that the director of this show put his whole heart into it. The script was written super well. Everything that happens in the story makes since. The translation was done super well too. The romance in the story was super good. There was enough drama to keep the story entertaining the whole time. There was good character development and the plot was good too. I loved that Louie had lost his memory and when he found out who he was again he still loved the girl that had helped him the whole time he didn't know he was rich.i loved that before he lost his memory he loved shopping and when he lost his memory he still loved to shop. I liked that detail. Louie and the main girl in the story have such good chemistry together their romance is the best. I recommend this show to everyone.

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.

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.
