Hello Stranger Korea Grand Sale review


Drama name: Hello Stranger Feat. Chance Encounter/ Korea Grand Sale 
Country: South Korea
Year: Nov 2018

I stumbled across this short drama while surfing TVN Asia channel. I saw it was only about 40 minutes and decided to watch it. Glad that I did! :D 

So, what's this drama about?

This is actually a global advertisement to promote South Korea for tourism. It is a collaboration between the Visit Korea Committee and CJ ENM. Produced by TVN it features Hye-Rim from the Wonder Girls.


Ahn Hyun-Jun is part of the Korea Grand Sale committee and one of the proposals include inviting foreigners to South Korea and getting them to review their experiences during their time there. 


This is where the three girls come in, they were invited by the committee and the moment they landed, Seo-Rae (Hye-Rim) got a text message from her boyfriend asking for a break-up. I know right?! What a douche bag, breaking up over a text... smh... (-_-")  The other girls told her to enjoy herself since they have arrived in South Korea. 


Mr. Ahn was their tour guide, however...His first encounter with the girls was not a good one. Haha! K-drama style of course... ;D Seo-Rae mistakes him for being a pervert and slaps him. Ouch! XD


The drama goes on with the girls enjoying themselves visiting some of the famous places in Seoul and a blossoming romance between Seo-Rae and Mr Ahn. 

Overall thoughts

I didn't know what to expect from the title of the drama at first, but it is a short fluffy drama with a cute romance. :D 

Best parts of the drama

You get to visit the places which you have heard of (or seen in K-dramas!) Not visit in detail but just enough to get an overall feel of it... 


Mr. Ahn is hottt... Yes, you get to see his body... *ahem* XD It was nice to see him again after Temperature of Love, he is handsome! 


The cute romance... you get the full K-drama works in this short drama! The usual fall- catch, eye glance chemistry, hands touching electricity... Haha!! And of course, the kiss... Yes unlike Seven First Kisses there wasn't any kiss... meh... > . > 


Conclusion

It seemed like it was going to be a sad ending at first, because Mr. Ahn didn't manage to give the ring to Seo-Rae during the kiss at the bench. She got a call from her ex- boyfriend... dayum can someone kill that douche bag already?! > . < !! Mr. Ahn sends the girls off at the airport and looks so sad... Nuuu! :'( 


Okay, don't cry just yet... It's a happy ending... Yay! Three months on, Seo-Rae goes back to Seoul and she meets Mr. Ahn at the same place where they first met. The story ends with them smiling at each other... Aww. What a cute fluffy drama! 


I enjoyed this short drama or advertisement... It was done with global audience in mind, so you get all the usual cliche K-drama scenes in just 40 minutes! Fantastic... and now you wonder why normal K-dramas have 16- 20 episodes... :D Alright, I'll leave you here with the cute couple!
