Uncontrollably Fond
(2016 - Viki, 20 1:00 eps)
A 1st rate, cliche, weepy melodrama, with the usual flat yet extraordinary characters facing an insurmountable problem. Most characters are fabulously annoying & do things that no one would ever do, but it's melo perfect.
Ill-fated 1st loves meet after many years. ML has become a rich actor whose mom can't forgive him for not becoming a prosecutor. FL is a poor video journalist forced by circumstances to compromise her values to survive. We suffer as they try to find their way through the horribleness that life has thrown at them.
The phenomenal acting *makes* this drama - especially Kim Woo Bin, whose character could have been overdone. There are a few unforeseen revenge twists, & a couple of sweet side relationships that keep it interesting. Both leads were nominated for Best Actor & Couple awards.
