Through this drama I've now learnt to read what the drama's are about as this totally went in a direction that I wasn't expecting. This drama had me in fits of giggles, it's definitely a dark comedy and takes twists and turns that I wasn't expecting, I definitely had the wrong culprit in mind, it definitely reminded me of what some people are capable of.
This is my 2nd drama with Sung Hoon, my first being Oh My Venus, and it was because of Oh My Venus that I've started wanting to watch more of his drama's, he definitely seems to be busy lately. I loved his portrayal of Kang Joon Hyuk, it was nice to see him play someone with more confidence as well as someone who uses his celebrity status to get what he wants, although I did find his outcome a little weird.
For the rest of the cast this was my first time seeing them at work, I loved the chemistry between the three main characters, especially towards the end of the drama. If I had to pick a character that was my favourite it has to be Kim Jong Hoon as Hwang Nam Goo, his character was always so random that whenever he was on screen he had me smiling and giggling. I think Kim Ga Eun was also did really well as Lee Yeon Seo, the first couple of episodes for me for her were my favourite as they added to the comedic value for the consequences of her choices.
While the drama does start out as a dark comedy, it does take more of a serious turn, I liked that it took a more serious turn while still having moments of comedy as for me it made it much more enjoyable and less far fetched if the plot had stayed the same, I mean who doesn't like being confessed to while being abducted and tied up, thinking this is end of your journey. I won't lie the ending did leave me slightly confused as well as being left feeling underwhelmed, but overall I would happily watch I Picked Up A Celebrity On The Street again and I would recommend others to watch this extremely weird but wonderful drama.
I've really enjoyed watching more Korean drama's that are darker, and have more of a thriller genre to keep you guessing and I look forward to checking out more.
