Me Too, Flower! (2011)
Grade:
C+
15 Episodes
Police officer Cha Bong-sun completes her
tasks as she should but ultimately is restless and unhappy. She even
finds out she has depression, after attending a work-mandated
psychological screening. One day, the youthful, exuberant Seo Jae-hee
nearly runs over Bong-sun on his scooter. They run into each other
again later, where she observes the young man working as a car valet
at a high-end department store – a low-paying job with few
prospects. Jae-hee teases Officer Cha, but then he overhears her
leave a message on the therapist's voice mail. She feels worthless
and unlovable. Will Jae-hee's heart be moved for this sad, lonely
officer? What happens when Jae-hee's female business partner finds
out he might have feelings for the female officer? And what will
Bong-sun's non-blood related, gold-digging step-sister have to say
about the entrepreneur in disguise?
*This drama really had a promising
beginning, with plenty of tension between the main love interests for
the first few episodes, but it soon fizzled out. There was a lot of
American music, which felt out of place, and then the rest of the
soundtrack was slow and sad – fitting for the feel of the drama,
but not my favorite. The characters just weren't all that likable,
most of their struggles were annoyingly self-inflicted (I think
Bong-sun and Jae-hee break up three separate times over the course of
the show, for arbitrary reasons they come up with), and the ending
was too tidy. It felt like the writers ran out of material for plot
so they wrote how every character ended up simply for filler.
Definitely not the worst Kdrama I've watched but kind of boring. Also, kind of a weird title that had nothing to do with anything. I
wouldn't watch it again.*
