High-End Crush

I was looking for something relaxing to watch, something that would be easy and fun without the drama that usually comes with kdramas (i needed a bit of a change) and I have to say that this was it. I ended up enjoying it. It's about a rich guy who always has his way and it bores him to death and one day he meets a girl who doesn't care about his money nor does she allow him to "buy" her and because of that he becames somewhat obsessed with her. It was funny and easy to watch, especially because it's not a long series.

Choi Hoon, the CEO of an entertainment company, has never been in love before, and is full of himself being a successful CEO. Yoo Yi-ryung is the innocent beautiful mountain girl he is trying to recruit and falls in love with. The problem is she wants nothing to do with the entertainment company and doesn't believe anything he says. They have perfect chemistry together.

This is the cutest romantic comedy and will make you laugh and smile and is light hearted and not stressful to watch. The episodes are short so even though it is 20 episodes long, the series goes very quick. Worth the time and fun to watch.

The series is banal and far too vulgar. Actually, I wanted to switch something off with the help of a banal series, but there was no sensitivity, you couldn't feel a single feeling over the whole series and between the actors.

The concept "rich guy falls in love with poor girl" can quickly get boring in our time, but some series convince you in a positive way with the well-known flair.

However, it does not apply here. It wasn't funny, not dramatic, actually nothing special as if there hadn't had a concept for this series.

There were just a few scenes played in which the arrogant guy can't accept a no and the poor girl was averse to his status and his insolence.

Nothing to hold on to.

Choi Hoon is the arrogant and self-absorbed CEO of an entertainment company who regularly terrorizes his employees, intimidates his rising stars and bullies his hapless psychiatrist. His life (and self confidence) is upended when he falls in love with a lovely but sheltered young woman who is completely unimpressed by him and possesses absolutely no interest in becoming a celebrity.

I'm always fascinated how other countries (besides the U. S. where I reside) constructs series. The U. S. A. Entertainment industry (until recently) has always been stuck in coming up with a premise that will not only last many episodes but many seasons. High-End Crush tells its story in twenty amusing 15 minute episodes which is perfect. One can view the hilarious histrionics of lovelorn Choi Hoon (and its impact on his put upon, equally noisy assistant) in short bursts. Otherwise, I think they would quickly wear out their welcome.

In addition, this is a Korean romantic comedy series that is actually funny. The longer series can be funny but are constantly bogged down by torpid dramatic twists. Here there is nothing but the frenzied antics of a man who finally discovered the one thing he says he always wanted: someone who doesn't (initially at least...hey, it's still a romance) want him.

This is one of the stories when a rich has never been in love before falls to an unbelievably poor girl. The guy will go all through the lengths in reaching out, but the girl has no confidence at all to pursue the love. Anyways, lead characters have a little bit of chemistry but not enough to say that it is a romantic genre. It helped that it was only a miniseries.
