It’s Mi Young’s first night at Gun’s family home, and by this time, Gun is convinced that she’s a scheming gold digger. Like this moment in episode 5 when Gun overhears her phone conversation with Mom (Song Ok Soon), and Mi Young says nothing to Mom about how hard things actually are, and only says good things about Mom’s new son-in-law. How can I not love them?Īfter the Big Misunderstanding that causes Gun to believe that Mi Young had schemed her way into his life, I like that through it all, it’s Mi Young’s sincerity that shines through to repeatedly give him pause. Regardless of the external pressures mounted against them, they choose to marry purely because Gun wants to be a good dad, and Mi Young a good mom. Gun and Mi Young make the decision very personal, and I love that about them. In episode 4 (above), when they are faced with the Big Decision of what to do, now that they know she’s pregnant with his child, I love that their decision to marry has nothing to do with Gun’s family concern of preserving the family line, nor the pressure that the islanders are putting on Mi Young. And it’s largely coz Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra are just amazing together.įrom the time in episode 2 as they say their good-byes, I thought they came across very believably as kindred spirits even then, and I could already see them as an OTP to root for. It honestly didn’t take me long to get behind this OTP and believe that they were meant for each other. Whether our OTP is just getting to know each other, or falling head over heels in love, or working through angst, their chemistry feels deep and natural and completely believable. Whatever the magic behind the magic, Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra convey a nuance and depth in their onscreen interactions that really magnifies the emotional resonance of their characters and their relationship.Īt every stage of Gun’s and Mi Young’s relationship, their chemistry feels so real and appropriate to the moment. Maybe it’s coz Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra have worked together before (Successful Story of a Bright Girl, 2002) and therefore already have an existing rapport maybe it’s coz they are both consummate professionals who immerse themselves so deeply in character that they actually feel their characters’ feelings maybe it’s a little bit of both.
#SINOPSIS DRAMA CHINA RIVER FLOWS TO YOU SERIES#
His heart is literally in his eyes, and I found it a lovely thing to behold, all series long.

His eyes manage to speak volumes, even when the message is intricate, profound and complex. A sheen of tears a tinge of wistfulness love fear helplessness regret. Jang Hyuk’s expressive eyes are wonderfully expressive, and there are multiple instances in the show where his eyes completely sold the scene for me. That’s what made it possible and easy, even, for me to look beyond the quirky, OTT trappings to see the sensitive, caring, vulnerable man underneath it all. Most importantly, Jang Hyuk gave Gun depth and dimension with his nuanced, expressive, emotionally rich delivery. Jang Hyuk is committed to the funny from start to finish, and gamely goes OTT when the script calls for it, often making the funny bits quite hilarious. And the laugh, well, there were times in Chuno when Dae Gil laughed like that too, so it didn’t bother me too much either. According to some sources, South America has the highest number of northward-flowing rivers.The long-ish hair sometimes reminded me of the mane of glory on Dae Gil, his character in Chuno (and Jang Hyuk is absolutely, mesmerizingly glorious in Chuno). In the US, at least 48 rivers in 16 states flow north, including nine in Alaska and eight in Washington. However, the exact number of the northward-flowing rivers has not been established.

The truth is that the two rivers are examples of the many rivers that flow northwards. Johns River (US) and River Nile (Africa), flow north. In this case, the river will flow in a northerly direction.Īnother common misconception is that only two world’s rivers, St. Since the direction of flow is influenced mostly by topography, some headwaters or sources (mountains) are located to the south of the mouth or destination. While it is true that most rivers flow south, some rivers actually flow from south to north. This notion could be the popular myth that makes most people believe that all rivers flow south. To them, the north must be higher than the south. Unfortunately, some people refer to uphill as north and river’s mouth as south. It is important to note that a compass direction does not influence the flow of a river.
