Casts :

The idea :

The story is about those 8 characters finding their soulmate. They have somehow weird acquaintances, weird but cute relationship.
Dong Wook went to an arranged date and met Yu Jin, who is trying to find the “perfect man”. After while, they found out that they were interested to each other and decided to dating.
On other story, Soo Kyung and Phillip were in a relationship for 5 years before he proposed her ( on the train! ). Soo Kyung wasn’t happy, but more confused about his proposal, and wondering was Phillip really her soulmate.

Dong Wook and Soo Kyung had strange dreams that they met their “Soulmate” which are not their current partner.

I read about this serial onSoompi and Javabeans‘ blog. Javabeans mentioned that this is really good drama that you should watch, so when I finally got the DVDs, I was really excited.

This was funny, and like no ordinary other drama,has refreshing storyline and characters.
Their lines were witty and sharp, with smart humor.

I like Shin Dong Wook, saw him on “Cloud Stairway” before ( which is his later drama than “Soulmate” ), and even didn’t bothered by his hairband. ( My male friend in uni were wearing it too, so I’ve got used to it. And I agree, eventhough it looks weird, it was practical. )

The songs featured here are beautiful!
Here some of those :

This Is Not A Love Song – Nouvelle Vague

My only objection about the story is, I think that is so impossible in real life you can meet your soulmate by dreaming about him, and somehow by so many coincidences you met him everywhere you go. It’s so drama! ( It is. But I just can’t help not to complain it. )

If you’re looking for real entertainment with good humor, good looking casts, good storyline plus great musics, you should try this one!
