Still, I wasn’t that awed since I had already encountered vulnerable boys in other YA stories. Haru was consistently kind, caring, and open about his feelings. However, as his character developed, so did my interest. The delayed gratification tactic didn’t work for me. At first, I was annoyed because I couldn’t see his face nor hear his voice for four straight episodes. Personally, I wasn’t head over heels for Haru. They were so into Rowoon’s fictional persona, but I wondered if they were genuine fans of his music. Sadly, Haru was selfless to a fault.Īt SF9’s concert a few weeks ago, my noisy seatmates kept on shouting “Haruya” to the point that my ears ached. Her resolve only faltered whenever Haru would pay the price for her actions. Instead of wallowing and waiting for the Grim Reaper, Dan-o sought solutions to her problems. She always looked at the glass half-full, mainly when it came to her terminal heart disease. Eun Dan-o was usually a delightful character. Her character was still part of the upper class, but she was no longer an annoying spoiled brat. If you hated Kim Hye-yoon in Sky Castle, you might love her in Extraordinary You. Together, Dan-o and Haru challenge the author’s authority and gradually fall in love. For some reason, Haru is the only one who can change the course of the narrative, albeit with some ominous consequences. When Dan-o learns that the author plans to remove her from the story soon, she determines to change her fate with the help of Haru, another secondary character. Eun Dan-o ( Kim Hye-yoon), the female lead, is an extra in Secret, a romance manhwa (comic book).
Still, it’s similar to a YA novel entitled Between the Linesin that it also features “self-aware” fictional characters who don’t want to be controlled by the author. Not even Rowoon (or April’s Na-eun) could cloud my judgment.Įxtraordinary You‘s plot might seem unique. However, the show’s ending left a very sour taste in my mouth. Initially, I could relate to their fascination. Others had the opposite experience they started supporting SF9 because of their love for the drama. Have you ever felt excited about a K-drama that featured a member of your favorite K-pop group? SF9 became one of my top groups this year, so I was happy that Rowoon was the male lead in Extraordinary You.
You know what? I was a bit sad that I had to follow a path that had already been decided for me.
