Cinderella, Prosecutor, Taste: First episode impressions
March 31st, 2010 // by javabeans
關於《個人趣向》我想了很多，
很有可能是因為多數韓飯都曾經讀過此小說了，
所以對於劇情與角色的設定，比我們這些霧裡看花的來的清楚的多。
感謝小茶的搜刮，我也就握爪開始翻譯啦。
灰姐、檢察官、個趣：第一集之我見。

Finally! The new Wednesday-Thursday battle is off, and the results are pretty consistent with my expectations, both content- and ratings-wise.
觀眾們期待已久的水木劇戰場終於開打。我想，這第一戰的成績，不論是劇情內容或者收視率，幾乎完全在我預料之中。
First, the numbers: Cinderella’s Sister took the lead with a 16.7%, while Personal Taste was in second with a 12.7%. Prosecutor Princess trailed with a 7.3%. (Those are TNS Media numbers; AGB Nielsen gave the numbers as 15.8%, 12.8%, and 8.0%.)
首先，《灰姑娘的姐姐》以16.7%的收視率領先，《個人趣向》獲得12.7%排行第二，而《檢察官公主》收視率則是7.3% (以上是TNS的收視率，至於AGB方面的數字是15.8%, 12.8%, 還有8.0%)
I think it’s likely this trend will hold. After seeing all first episodes, I think it’s also an accurate reflection (for once!) on the relative quality of the shows. Each series had strengths and weaknesses, but this time I have a clear picture of which ones I prefer and why.
我大膽認為，這三台的收視率已成定局，往後大致會按照首播的收視率延續。尤其，看完了第一集之後，我也認為水木三劇的首播收視率，難得的公平反應出了各電視劇的製作水平。當然，每個影集都有其強項與弱點，但是這次，我很清楚我會繼續追哪部片。
On to the reviews! (To the spoiler-phobes: I have avoided giving away any big plot points that aren’t already known.)
劇評，開始囉！(不想看劇透的讀者們：以下內容已經盡量避免透露未來的重要劇情了...請放心閱讀...)
PERSONAL TASTE (MBC)
《個人趣向》(MBC)
I said that Cinderella’s Sister had the best first episode, in that it’s the best-produced and most cohesive package. But Personal Taste is my pick for the most fun and laughs — it’s cute, well-cast, and has a freshness to its humor. The jokes aren’t wildly original, but they’re presented well and feel new for a kdrama. (I mean, a gay-blowjob joke on Korean television? Ha!) Also, every deviation that the drama has made from the novel has been for the better (so far).
我先前提過，《灰姑娘姐姐》的第一集佔有絕大優勢，因為它有很精良的製作與最完整的戲劇包裝。但我卻選擇了輕鬆有趣的《個人趣向》-- 為了它可愛的劇情、精采的演員、還有新鮮的幽默感。當然，這些笑點或許不是新梗，但是編者新潮的敘述手法，讓我看到了不一樣的韓劇風情... (借問看倌，曾經在任何韓劇裡看過電梯"男男blowjob"這類劇情嗎? = =) 更值得一提的是，此劇裡任何跟小說不一樣的劇情，都有為此劇加分的作用 (至少，目前為止啦。)
============>>>> 以下待續
If you’ve been following the novel posts, you’ll get the gist. If you haven’t, here’s the deal: Kae-in (Sohn Ye-jin) is an upbeat and good-hearted furniture designer, if naive and rather dense. She is badly hurt by her boyfriend, whom she believes is going to propose to her when he is in fact marrying her friend the next day.
In a series of chance encounters, she gets off on the wrong foot with Jin-ho (Lee Min-ho), an architect who works at a rival firm to her ex. She thinks he’s a pervert at first, but then gets the impression that he’s gay. Jin-ho, who considers her a clueless blunderer, doesn’t bother correcting her. In the next episode (we aren’t there yet), Kae-in agrees to let Jin-ho move in, fed up with straight guys and liking the idea of having a gay roommate. Little does she know that Jin-ho has an ulterior motive: he badly needs to win a building project, and needs to study her house in order to do so, as she is the daughter to the famed architect who built it.
Spot-on casting, for sure. Sohn Ye-jin is perfect as Kae-in, showing the character’s positive personality even as she bumbles through various encounters. She also lets a naivete and vulnerability shine through, making it easy to root for her. Everyone, from the main cast to the supporting members, has that extra spark that draws you to them and their roles. I have a feeling the sidekicks are going to be a hoot. I even like Kim Ji-suk’s take on his character, who is nowhere near as awful as the book character; you can see he’s conflicted and remorseful. He’s just also a wuss.
Lee Min-ho may be young (he’s even younger than Im Seulong despite playing his hyung), but he wears Jin-ho’s airs perfectly. I’ll be the first to sing Lee’s praises, but I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to emerge from the Boys Before Flowers shadow — which is considerable — or live up to expectations, particularly since he’s taken over a year to choose his next project. I think he does quite nicely.
You might say that of course I like Personal Taste because I expected to like it — but I think liking the idea actually makes it harder to live up to the hype. Episode 1 is a little unstable at times and the pacing is uneven in the first half, but in the second half it starts to gel and really work. At the end of the hour, this is the drama whose second episode I wanted to see the most.
