I Need Romance 3 is a romantic comedy about a 33 year old woman who doesn't believe in love anymore and a 20-something year old (I suppose he's 26) who believes in pure love. This is the third season of this drama, but is unrelated to the previous two because every season has a different cast. In INR3 Shin Joo Yeon, a successful woman in the marketing environment, is played by Kim So Yeon. She has had various relationships and all ended badly, and because of this reason she came to the conclusion that true love doesn't exist and all men are the same. Her ideas are about to change when Joo Wan, played by Sung Joon *swoon*, comes back to Korea. Joo Wan was the child Joo Yeon had to look after when he was little. He used to call her Shing Shing, while she always called him Sweet Potato because he had a face like a potato and in her opinion was ugly. When Joo Wan comes back and calls Shing Shing to inform her that he'll come to stay at her place, the woman treats him badly on the phone. She doesn't want to live with an ugly guy and younger. The guy doesn't give up, and when he meets Shing Shing by accident when he's doing a DJ session at a party (he is a musician/composer of famous singers), he is more eager to find out why the woman changed over the years. He sees she feels lonely and helpless, but he doesn't pity her because he realizes what the woman lost is faith in her feelings and that she's now only calculating things with her mind. His goal is make her see that she can love again and that she can be loved by somebody like him despite he is younger than her.
When I first read about this drama, I wanted to watch it. But as usual, I've only started it when it ended. I am happy I watched it because first, it was very delightful and more kinky compared to other dramas I've watched from the main networks that have those boring peck on the lips between the main leads... blergh. On this drama every action was realistic and the actors had chemistry with each other despite they are ten years apart (!!). Second, it was shorter. Usually a drama lasts for one hour straight, but this was less than 50 minutes long and things happened fast. Let's just say I don't mind an episode being long, but sometimes they drag things... Third. It was a light drama to watch. Cheerful. It tried to portray relationships and the problems of people in their 20's, 30's and 40's and it succeeded. I felt so close with some of the leads too. Sad it finished but it's possible next year there will be a 4th season with a different cast so I'm hopeful. Fourth... look at Sung Joon, isn't he the cutest? And the Shing Shing/Potato couple is funny and youthful.
