Coming from someone who binge-watch K-drama almost every night, I had very high expectations for this novel. My disappointed point might be because what I want to read is different from Maurene Goo offered. I'm hoping for some dreaming story just like usual K-drama oh-so-dreamy-moment-yet-impossible-to-happen-in-the-real-life instead of K-drama parody going on here.
Regardless my complaining, it was a fun ride and hilarious with a lot of cringes part going on.
Desi, a Korean-American teenage girl who has everything she wants. A smart girl, has a loving father, 4.25 GPA, student body president, perfect SAT score. Only one small stupid yet important thing she never had, a freaking boyfriend!
So when a new cute guy showed up in the school, she decided to take a step forward, to get a boyfriend from what she learned about "how to get a guy" from K-drama formula.
I'm not a fan of Desi, she kind of manipulating her crush to date her. For someone who has everything lays perfectly in her life, why should she had a low self-esteem about this boyfriend zone?
I'm enjoyed all of the K-drama tropes and references here and there, like:
Protect the Boss, Healer, Oh My Ghostess, It's Okay That's Love, Boys Before Flower *check* *check* *check* *check* *check*
My Girlfriend is Guminho and King 2 Hearts *check* --> she notify my ultimate hubby's series
And don't forget everyone's favorite Descendant of the Sun
Seeing all of the K-dramas tropes described it to me one by one, it made me question myself why am I so addicted over those dramas and I never ever regret it. lol.
If you are too, a K-drama freak like me, I think you will enjoy the novel.
And excuse me, I'm going to watch some K-drama now.
Rating 3/5 stars
