I must admit I'm a Korean Drama freak. But honestly no for K-Pop. I even knew SNSD from the Genie Parody by the casts of He's Beautiful. And never mock me if you read the next fact. When I saw the Super Junior's Sorry Sorry MV (so long after the MV first revealed), the expression came out of my mouth was: "Eh, that's what Go Mi Nam and Manager Ma did when they imagine if Hwang Tae Kyung finds that Go Mi Nam actually is a girl". Lol.
But graduated from college slowly but sure made me graduated from 'new Korean Drama huntings'. As you know, pirated DVD stalls had been so mushroomed in campus area. Lol. And when I watched A Gentleman's Dignity aired in one of private TV stations, I was like hey, where I have been? Why I watch this 2012 drama... now??
If you people are already sick about the cray cray second male syndrome, something must exist in most of Korean Drama: a man crazily loves a woman and gives his world to her but let her go with other man she loves in the end *throw banana skin!!*, A Gentleman's Dignity will be a refresh. Like Secret Garden. Inevitable you'll see Kim Joo Won's aura when you see the main male character in A Gentleman's Dignity. Because what? They came from the same script writer. haha.
You know this drama better than me so I write this review just for myself. And I don't own any picture in this post: I picked them randomly from Google image search engine.
The male characters
Left to the right: Lee Jung Rok (cafe and bar owner), Im Tae San and Kim Do Jin (architects) and Choi Yoon (a lawyer)
The female characters
Left to right in the bottom row: Seo Yi Soo (a teacher), Hong Se Ra (a golfer), Park Min Suk (a billionaire) and Im Meahri (dropped out of college)
The four men had been best friends since in High School till they had been in middle-aged. Jung Rok married to an older woman yet a billionaire Park Min Suk. They never have a single piece of happy marriage life because of Jung Rok's womanizing. He couldn't eliminate his bad habits but didn't wanna lose his wife. Not because of her wealth but he knew only her who could accept a man like him.
Im Meahri and Im Tae San were siblings. Kim Yi Soo secretly liked Tae San but he liked her best friend, Hong Se Ra. Im Meahri herself liked Choi Yoon, 17 years older than her. Yoon was a widower whose wife died due to some illness. Kim Do Jin the expert level playboy, must stop hurting girls to get Yi Soo's heart.
I love how the story flows. I love their jokes. And I love them all. Min Suk had spies to report her what her husband did and whom he met everyday. She even followed him and Jung Rok caught having affairs too often. Min Suk also too often sued her husband for divorced but his three best friends always find a way to save Jung Rok. Not because that was what friends are for, but Min Suk was the landlady of where their business buildings were standing on. Lol.
Hong Se Ra was a high-esteem golfer. More than 10 times break up with Tae San because she always refused Tae San's proposal to get married. While Kim Do Jin and Yi Soo, just like the Korean drama's typical: the woman finally crushed by the man's efforts to get her heart. And Im Meahri and Yoon was my favorite couple after all. Meahri didn't pursue an oppa's love but an ahjussi's! Yoon constantly refused her but Meahri never give up. This couple showed that in love, age was only a number matter.
It's not a drama if without conflicts.

- Min Suk had been tired with their marriage life and really wanna be separated from her husband as she loved him too much. She was tired of constantly suspecting him.
- Came a 19 years old boy who actually was Do Jin's son from his first love.
- Tae San got mad by Meahri's undied love to Yoon. Their significant age difference was the main reason. As a friend, he felt sorry for Yoon's past; be a widower because of his wife's death, but as a brother, he couldn't accept Yoon's condition to be Meahri's future husband. So he sent Meahri to the States.
- Se Ra decided to end their relationship if Tae San kept telling about marriage.
Don't worry.. it's a happy ending...
- With his silly whim, Jung Rok managed to win Min Suk's heart and their divorce never happened. It's about their property settlement. Min Suk said that she didn't wanna waste time to fight over money in the court, so Jung Rok could get 1/3 from total of their properties. Jung Rok then measured every items in their house and gave sign on every one-third of their size. He asked if Min Suk wanted the hot or cool water from the water dispenser, if she sit in the sofa with her left or right butt. Jung Rok said that there was no kidding and pull out his chainsaw. Lol.
- Do Jin wanted to be responsible by accepting his son's coming to Korea from Japan. He didn't wanna be so greedy by keeping Yi Soo by his side, so he broke up their relationship. But Yi Soo couldn't let her love just ruined and tried to accept Do Jin just the way he was.
- Yoon prevented Meahri's departure and admitted he loved her, too. He said sorry for letting her tears dropped so often and let her faced the forbidden love alone. Tae San gave up to Yoon's sincerity and told the couple to get married.
- Tae San knew how to get Se Ra's heart back: just opened his arms widely so Se Ra could be into them. Tae San calmed Se Ra down that he would wait for her readiness to step into a marriage life. And he wouldn't need to wait a long time since Se Ra was pregnant! Hahhhh...
