Love Rollercoaster

ehehe....Pia inspired me put up my fondness on this show too, hehe...so here goes...

LOVE ROLLERCOASTER is a Korean TV series, which i could not categorize as drama for i find more comedy in it than tear-jerker elements. ^^V

it's a series of love situations revolving around a certain hotel restaurant staffs and the general manager joining their wacky stories. of course, the supporting cast are as crazy as them with their own problems to face.

MAIN CHARACTERS:

Seung-li >> she was the first character i saw and got me hooked on the show. she looked so cute in the chineese uniform when they were still new and working on the chinese resto. she's the kindess in the group and oftenly shows how a true korean woman should act. but beware! she's fierce inside, especially when it's her heart that's on the line.

Sang-hyun >> Seung-li's boyfriend. of course, there was a lot of things that he must do before he finally won the heart of his love, one example of this trials is being rivals with the general manager of your hotel. he is a pretty nice guy and the happy-go-lucky one.

Hye-jin >> that's my girl! the first time i saw her, my impression on her is cool and laid-back. she's almost anime-ish with her attitude, that's why i like her so much. and i find her the pretties of the group. Hye-jin sometimes could act tomboy-ish with her strong attitude but becomes very girl around her love one.

Mr. Shin (Jae-won) >> the infamous general manager of the hotel. in the first few episodes, almost every girl likes him, but as the show progresses, it is found out that his first love and crush for 15 years is just around his hotel. Mr. Shin's attitide is cool but surprisingly tease-ful, especially when it comes to Hye-jin.

Min-young >> i first thought Min-young was a "plastic" who always cling on Mr. Shin and any rich man, but later on is found out to be a rather amusing woman who loves dolls but always complains about her credit card bills. her character is a woman with passion in her work and is in search of love, which she blindly cannot see---- for now. ^^

Sung-jin >> he and Sang-hyun came to Seoul together in search of success and love. they are very good buddies and even applied on the same hotel. he is the nicest guy in the gruop. he loves Min-young very much and is determined to capture her heart no matter what. Sung-jin is a big guy with an equally big heart though sometimes he could be overly protective to his love.

THE FAMLIY
they are the supporting cast of series and adds to the rollercoaster-like life of the main characters.

Father >> i forgot his name sorry. ^^V he is the head of the house Seung-li and her brother is living at. most of the time, he is very bossy but show concern to his family oftenly too. As a former Marine member, he sometimes polishes his reputation too much and forget the effect of his selfishness to the people around him.

Mother >> i also forgot her name! biyane! ^^V she is the kind wife and mother to all her children. She loves her husband very much have endured 30 years of his sometimes irritating attitude. she's just laid-back in her home but is very helpfull to the problem of her children as long as she could.

Hye-jung >> the eldest daughter of the family. She's Seung-li's sister-in-law and is also working in the hotel as a clerk. Hee-su loves her husband very much but refuses to get pregnant for now as career comes first. a beautiful woman with much love to give.

Seung-won >> Seung-li's brother. he is a devoted husband but is oftenly stuck in mishaps. he loves his family very much and is willing to do house chores for them. he now helps father in their pub "Happy Virus".

Hee-su >> the youngerst daughter in the family. she is oftenly scolded to study by her family because of slacking off in school. a strong-willed girl with sometimes a bad attitude and incontrollabe babbling mouth.

Suk-ku >> the faithful follower of Hee-su. he loves Hee-su very much but scolds her too with their exams oftenly. a very smart kid but most of the time goes overboard with his actions.

funny when i think about this because for me it's such a coinsidence, as i like Mr. Shin and Hye-jin so much, i made up situations in my mind where they are the one that goes out and take interest to each other, for in the early episodes of the show, Mr. Shin likes Seung-li and Hye-jin likes Sang-hyun, she even said she doesn't like rich guys like Mr. Shin so i thought it was impossible. then after maybe a week of not watching the show, my cousin told me about the 15 years love thingy about them and is now going out. this made me like the show more! haha!!

i find Mr. Shin really cute too. for one he kinda looks like Hisashi or Teru (GLAY) or maybe it's just me...hehe.

one episode i love so much is Episode 26, though it hasn't ended yet, i like this episode the most so far. as i've said, it's Mr. Shin and Hye-jin's relationship im patienly waiting to bloom and in this episode, it did focus much on them.

Mr. Shin have a foreigner guest named Jennifer. the two seemed so sweet and Hye-jin's jealousy was about to explode especially when she mistook the sight of Mr. Shin and Jennifer in the hotel lobby as kissing when he's only helping the girl about her contact lens. Jae-won, knowing Hye-jin is probebly troubled about the other girl, asked her out on a date. as they were about to go, Jae-won suddenly canceled the date for Jennifer is asking for a Seoul-tour. as the brave Hye-jin is, she insisted on going with them only to find herself out of place with the two completely forgetting about her presece. when they took a rest, Mr. Shin asked Hye-jin to buy them drinks, frustrated, Hye-jin shaked the can of coke intending to spill it to Jennifer but unfortunately splashed to Mr. Shin who opened it for his guest. another funny insident is when Mr. Shin asked Hye-jin to take a picture of him and Jennifer. the playful Hye-jin asked the two to step backward to much, leaving Jae-won to fall in the nearby lake. he thought he was drowning and was asking for help desperately then Hye-jin jumped to save him only to find out that the water was knee high only. it left the two of them embarassed and wet. the day after, it was Hye-jin's day off. she and mother went out to pamper themselves and relieve a restless heart. that night Mr. Shin called her out and gave her english catalouges and a dictionary. he also said to answer him yes or no that she will find the question in the dictionary. Hye-jin looked for what it was but failed, so when the man asked her her answer, she just said OK not even knowing what she just answered. after work, Mr. Shin is with Jennifer and revieled that she is his sister-in-law who came to Korea only to think about things with her husband, and consult Jae-won (James as she calls him) too. after that, they went out to shop in the night market. as they were walking by the roads, Hye-jin apologized for her actions. Mr. Shin said it was fine that he's just not so open about his private life. then Hye-jin said: (not exact words)

" Why are you telling me now?"
" Because you answered OK to my question, Love."
" (smiles) Now i love three men in my life."
"?"
"the little boy who briefly stayed in my grandparent's neighbor everyday, the man i kept in my heart for 15 years, and my boss at work."

when Hye-jin went home, she quickly grabed the dictionary and opened in the 'L' section and found the word 'Love' highlighted. it was Mr. Shin's way of asking "will you accept my love?" or "do you love me?". ahahaha!!!! kilig! sila na!

okay, till here, got to get off, the rollercoaster just stoped. Anyong!!!

hi!!! naligaw ako sa site mo kc naghahanap ako ng anything about love rollercoaster. Grabe! di kc me makanood kc nagpasukan na. nakakainis! hangang ep. 28 lang ang napanood ko. If im not mistaken, un yata yung tungkol sa nawawalang jar. do you know what happened next?
Comment posted on June 18th, 2004 at 08:47 PM
well...they found out na yung jar na yun pala is hindi talaga national treasure. local lang yun kasi yung talagang binigay nung hari sa family nila is nabenta na dating-dati pa. yung iba siyempre todo hanap, kasi kala nila di pa alam nuing father na peke yun. tapos dahil sa nagyabang nga yung father, nag-pretend nalang siya na di nya alam na peke yun. magulo bah? sorry ha! basta ganyan yun!

cute ni mr.shin at hye-jin noh?
