First view of Hogu's Love 호구의 사랑 drama

Another new tVN web drama titled 'Hogu's Love (호구의 사랑) starring After School's UEE and actor Choi Woo Sik. It's a comical drama with the plot of a pair of fraternal twins- Kang Ho Gu and Kang Ho Kyung with different characters. 




The first episode leaves me pondering a bit should I or should I continue watching this drama. First it was the swimmer contestant Do Do Hee (played by UEE) who participated in the Shanghai Asian Games and won the silver medal. She was fed up and didn't utter any nice words in front of the media upon seeing her team mate won the gold medal.

Back in Seoul, there's the main lead- Ho Gu (played by Choi Woo Sik) who goes out for a date with his girlfriend and later appears to be a super loser and idiot. Looks like his date has gone the other way when the girl steps into a posh car driven by a more matured man.
At night Hogu strolls along the streets, stops at the traffic lights and noticed Do Hee standing opposite. He starts snapping photos of her and tries to avoid to be caught when she walked past him.

And Hogu confides with his friends and later on he was helping out in a comic store while bumping into Chief Oh Sang Sik! (cameo appearance by Lee Sung Min) why...hello? Look who is back! Chief Oh was asking if there were copies of the 'Misaeng' manhwa. Muahaha! That is funny...he is searching for his own drama in the store. And the best part when Ho Gu runs through the rental list of comics- Chief Oh has borrowed a stack of series on Jang Geu Rae!  

There is also Ho Gu's sister Ho Kyung (played by Lee Soo Kyung) is a funny character- donned in an ugly lazy tracksuit, no beauty make up and coaching him on love lessons.
Do Hee remembers who Ho Gu was as they were previously in the same high school. This episode leaves us hanging whether Do Hee is pregnant? Uhm...not too sure.. ? Who is it?

2AM's member Im Seul Ong will be participating in this drama as a lawyer. 
A drama full of K-pop idols....not too sure if it's my cup of tea but will see how it goes with the next coming episode.
