1% of Anything
1%의 어떤 것 / Something About 1%
(Jul – Dec 2003)
who’s in it
Kang DongWon (Duelist – film, Temptation of Wolves - film)
Kim JungHwa (Snow White)
Han HyeJin (Be Strong, Geum Soon!)
what’s it about
A kind-hearted but meddling grandfather (also rich and head of a large company) deems the only way to get his heir-apparent on the right track and turn him into a decent human being is finding the right woman to fix him up. The bad tempered grandson, played by Kang DongWon, is understandably incensed by this new marriage clause placed upon his inheritance. He’s in complete disbelief when the old man declares Kim JungHwa to be the qualifier, the ultimate prize: marry her, score the family fortune. Unfortunately, Kim JungHwa is as good-natured as Kang DongWon is bad-natured. In order to get the old man off his back and inherit, Kang DongWon grudgingly agrees to the farce…even commuting from the city to the countryside to “date” the elementary school teacher. When the farce turns into real love, they encounter obstacles they hadn’t foreseen. While Kang DongWon’s grandfather is up for the match, no one else seems to see it the old man’s way.

A bright but mundane drama that didn’t hit any obvious wrong notes but missed the right ones, too.
after the first episode
Kang DongWon and Kim JungHwa appeared to have some chemistry together and were kinda sorta adorable. While the situation was extremely contrived, even by drama standards, and dangerously close to being too ridiculous to be true, it was harmlessly enjoyable to watch, especially for a Kang DongWon fan such as I.
So feathery light, this romantic comedy could have floated away into oblivion—it was that weightless.

Attic Cat (2003)
Attic Cat
옥탑방 고양이 / Rooftop Room Cat
(Jun – Jul 2003)
who’s in it
Kim RaeWon (The Grand Chef, Socrates - film)
Jung DaBin (Smile You)
Choi JungYoon
Lee HyunWoo
what’s it about
Two collegiate-aged young adults share a rooftop apartment…is this a romantic comedy, you ask? Yes, what gave it away? The sharing of a rooftop apartment being the central plot perhaps? Anyway, this was a big deal because of the co-ed housing situation (as non-married co-habitation is not exactly the norm nor encouraged behavior in the Korean culture). Kim RaeWon spends most of the drama being a lovable and noncommittal horndog jerk (that sort of sounds like a negative description, but isn’t meant to be), and Jung DaBin is the waif that feeds and falls in love with him.

It felt a little long considering the really lean plot premise of lazy law student crashing at hard-working female friend’s rooftop pad while pining for the prettier classmate. Thaaat was about it. BUT Kim RaeWon was full of long-limbed goodness and all kinds of puppy dog adorable that somehow a viewer is tricked into watching...and watching...and watching...well, I was anyway. Hmmm, and I guess technically, he was supposed to be a stray cat...but truly, he felt more like mongrel.
after the first episode
Quick and light-hearted. This one felt like it would go by fast (and it did).
