Ma Boy

This was the shortest but cute Korean drama I’ve ever seen.  3 episodes and that’s it.  Funny me! I was still waiting for episode 4 and just then I’ve read that it’s only a mini-series. 

This drama was a reverse role of the typical girl acting as a guy.  The guy acted as a girl to get into the school he wanted to attend to.  He dressed up as a girl.  And I was amazed with the guy acting as a girl; he indeed looks like a girl and a pretty one.  Then there’s a girl who’s a transferee in that school and she became his roommate. 

One night this guy acting as a girl got sick and that was the time she discovered that he’s not really a girl. Since then the girl helped him to conceal his secret.  So, as I expected they fell in love with each other.  Then, the time has come for the guy to stop acting as a girl.  Unfortunately, the guy hasn’t got a chance to explain to the girl that he’ll be gone for a while.  So, the girl thought he abandoned her.  Then, after a year she saw him in t.v. promoting an album and he was a guy.  Surprisingly, he came back to attend in the same school as before. There they meet again and got a chance to explain to her why he was gone.

It was cute, sweet and romantic drama.  I just hope it was longer that 3 episodes.  Both lead actor and actress are good.  They look good together.
