Nice Guy

After about 3 months of inconsecutive watching a South Korean television drama "Nice Guy" or promoted by GMA 7 as "The Innocent Man", I have finally finished it.


The show introduces us to Kang Ma-roo, a promising medical student who, because for the love for his "noona" Jae-hee, took the responsibility of a murder in which the latter is involved. After he was released from prison, Ma-roo found out that the woman she loved became a common wife of a rich businessman. In other words, he was betrayed. Sooner, he plot out to revenge against her by becoming romantically involved with the rich man's daughter, Eun Ki.

With one word that I can describe the whole Nice Guy drama-experience thing, it is no other but melodramatic yet satisfying. While watching this drama (and I pause for sometimes), I feel a sympathetic towards each of them. A mellow feeling, thanks to the strong characterization that each one could possibly change the whole scenario, making the story to go to an unexpected route. The whole drama rests upon on the characters particularly the protagonist. How they react? How they feel? And how their decision, judgments (right or wrong) could affect a person on one way and another in later situations? By doing the means in order to stay in the game, the characters must outsmart each other. I just like how each one of them points out daggers against each other even resulting to violent means.

The drama passively impart its viewers about life in perspective of a man who, as he had said, never got what he wanted. What is happiness after the woman, he protected and loved, betrayed him? Is he still a nice guy when he is doing the opposite?

Anyway, I have to say that Ma-roo and Eun-ki definitely has a good chemistry. Their romantic storyline that is not ordinary as it is rooted from lies and revenge. Ma-roo and Jae-hee also had an established chemistry, as a type of "older sister-younger brother" sort of, however, the murder stole it.

So, I'll end this post with a quote of the miniseries, "Love can make unbelievable miracles happen."
