You know what bugs me about Lucky Romance?
It’s not the way Lee Chung Ah says Gaewwwwryyyyyy. Although that’s a close second.
It’s the way they make her speak English on the phone because Amy is from Canada San Francisco somewhere in North America and therefore fluent in the language... but her pronunciation is nowhere close to native.
I’ve been annoyed by the same issue in other dramas, but the thing that makes this particular instance of it worse is that those phone call scenes are completely unnecessary. We really don’t need to see her talking to HQ, because she says nothing of importance to them. She could just as well text it. Or email it. Or the scene doesn’t even need to be on screen.
If on top of this, the show has her evolve into the typical conniving scheming sort of second lead I’m going to be so mad because apart from that, I’m really enjoying watching this. I love that the misunderstandings don’t drag on for unnecessarily long. The show is sweet, and fun, and let’s be real, it’s chock full of eye candy.
Although I do wish Gaewwwwryyyyyy would be consistent with his hair. That bangs-down-the-front look is not cutting it for me. Style that shit up boy.
