[Drama Review] 'She Was Pretty' - Episode 4

Siwon, Hwang Jung Eum, Park Seo Joon, Go Jun Hee
Did anything momentous happen in the fourth episode of 'She Was Pretty?' Unfortunately enough...the answer is still a no. Oh, no, wait. There was a scene where Hye Jin gathered enough courage to tell Sung Joon off right in his face. And no, it wasn't only in her imagination.

Hye Jin volunteered to drop Sung Joon at an airport, though not by her own design. Once again, Cheshire Cat Shin Hyuk tricks Hye Jin, forcing her to be Sung Joon's chauffeur for the day which is sure to make for a thoroughly awkward ride. Aaaand my prescience proved correct. The ride was made even more awkward by the fact that Hye Jin kept rambling on and on, although she did ask an important question at one point about which airport they were going to.  This was left unanswered thanks to his weird focusing power. When Hye Jin drives Sung Joon to the wrong airport, he flips out, not knowing it's actually his fault for not answer her earlier question. This is where Hye Jin puts her foot down and finally tells Sung Joon off. Girl, you tell him!


Woman: Honey, you forgot to go pick up the kids at their soccer game again! How could you do this, they're your own kids, you were watching the game again weren't you??! And how many times do I have to tell you that blah blah blah bahl bhla

Man: Think of a happy place, think of a happy place, THINK OF A HAPPY PLACEEE


Shin Hyuk continues to fall hard for Hye Jin, trailing her like a puppy dog and coming to her rescue (though Hye Jin is not very appreciative) in his own annoying yet endearing little way. From the blatant hints dropped in the drama, it's pretty evident that Shin Hyuk feels some type of way towards Hye Jin. He has managed to become my favorite character, and now I'm kind of hoping that Hye Jin will develop feelings for Shin Hyuk instead of for the sour, douche-y Sung Joon. 


Hay gurl, whatcha doin there

Hay gurl. Gurl, notice me. NOTICE MEEEE 


The Saturday morning drama corner featuring Ha Ri continues to fill up the void and waste our time. Seriously, Ha Ri's little story arc has no place in the general plot of the drama, unless the writers somehow managed to tie in the story of Ha Ri's dysfunctional family into the love pentagon of Sung Joon, Hye-Jin, Shin Hyuk, Ha Ri, and Hye Jin's lil sis. Yes, Sung Joon is still creepily interested in Hye Jin's littler sister who is probably more than 10 years younger than him. 


Do I dare say pedo..?

What do you think you're doing with my little sisterrrrrrr???


Ha Ri, who had reluctantly signed up to pretend to be Hye Jin, is starting to grow deeper feelings for Sung Joon who continues to show her compassion. I'm upset at both Ha Ri and Sung Joon at this point; Sung Joon for not being able to realize that Ha Ri is NOT HIS FIRST LOVE (seriously, how can you not recognize the love of your life?) and Ha Ri for not coming out with the truth. The more she she drags this lie, the more deep sh*t she is going to be in later with both Sung Joon and Hye Jin. 


This scene is a LIE! 

Um, I told you to trick him NOT fall in love with him...


There is one more development that I should mention before I close out this review, which is the further development of Shin Hyuk's character. We pick up clues that Shin Hyuk may very likely be Jin Sung Group president's son, the most obvious one being the swanky suite room that he resides in. Come on, you can't not be rich and live in a place like that. We also find out why he shows such a keen interest in Hye Jin: because Hye Jin reminds him of his deceased younger sister. That's a bit...awks don't you think?


How can you think I'm homeless


And here we have 'She Was Pretty's battle of the worst hair!
