Woori was truly a valuable addition to my kdrama vocabulary. Thank you, Because This Is My First Life.

One spring night, 1

Okay, so while it's been a long time since I watched a Korean drama, it hasn't been so long that I didn't instantly realize that Kim Chang Wan went out and bought himself a wig. It looks like he's got a long-haired guinea pig perched on his head.

Korean television loves romances starring chaebol sons and regular girls, and it seems that this show may be the granddaddy of them all. For me, the genre's biggest failing is insufficiently rehabbing the male lead. He inevitably starts off as a jerk and ends up slightly less jerky--sometimes, around some people. That's what happened in both Secret Garden and Boys over Flowers: those shows gave us “happy" endings without ever making a convincing case for their male leads really having changed. Maybe this show will ultimately be the same, but for now its female lead--a schoolteacher experienced in molding young minds--is all about giving her chaebol valuable life lessons. Lose your temper in public and make a fuss? You'll only embarrass yourself. Expect a girl to always be the one to travel to see you, instead of trading off? It won't happen, because it's not fair. Try to kiss someone without their consent? Well, then you deserve the (hard) kick in the shin you get. This is what I've been waiting for ever since I started watching kdrama: a male lead who learns from his mistakes thanks to an enlightened lady.

How times have changed. Three unthinkable things have already happened in this episode, and I'm not even halfway through: First, the female lead told her male counterpart that their whopping six-year age difference was too significant, so a marriage between them would never work. Then, she lost her keys--those little metal things you stick in locks. And after that, she realized she couldn't call the person who had her keys because she didn't own a cell phone. Was this filmed 13 years ago, or 300?

Here’s one way the 2016 remake updated the original: the actors’ clothes actually fit nowadays. Why was everyone always swimming around in their wardrobe in these old shows?

Something else didn’t change, however: the plot’s inherent sexism. Grandpa finds some wonderful, kind young woman who he wants to support–so he decides to give his company to her future husband. That makes perfect sense…except, Why not just give it to her?

At least in the original, the show doesn’t immediately make it clear that Grandpa set up the whole thing to reform his grandson–his updated will just says whoever she marries gets his company. (Well, that’s what the dramafever subs imply, anyway.)

OS¹ Brochure My final Her related digital/print item. Glad to have finished with a bang; I’m pretty proud of this final iteration. Thank you Spike Jonze for directing a wonderful movie, and thank you whoever designed the in-movie OS¹ branding. Her and it’s universe have inspired me as an artist and an individual in more ways than I can count.

OS One Collection Part 2 Redesign

I had to make a brochure for Graphic Communication and I wanted to give the OS Collection a proper send off, and produce a higher quality pamphlet than the last.
