I learned that if someone dislikes you at first, and then begins to like you after a period of time, in the end you'll like that person a lot. More so than someone who liked you consistently. It's because you feel like you "earned" their admiration.
So it makes a lot of sense that the girl usually ends up with the douchebag because they end up liking them after hating them at first. PLUS like you said, it's a drama so obvs they're going to use the more complicated romance.
ahh I guess it's got a bit of "the chase" factor in there then.

In Coffee Prince, that scene where she confesses really shows how they're not compatible - he's always thought of her as a little kid (he always calls her "that kid") and when she confesses her feelings he knows that all he can do is console her. So it's not like their relationship really started off on a good foot. How far are you in the series?
yeah, I originally thought it was just that their emotions were completely different but I just watched the part where he just kisses her and I was like LOL WTF.

btw, I never liked the cute shy guys in Korean dramas. They seriously need to grow balls IMO, like Ji-hoo in BOF totally didn't do it for me. Lei in Meteor Garden was alright, but the cocky guy always has way more personality and attitude.
haha maybe han-keol needs to grow on me a bit more. though (argh the names in coffee prince I can never remember) the music dude isn't quite shy, just...less cocky I suppose. but I love him in glasses.

Did you think it was good, though? It's still one of my favorite J-dramas, not that I've seen all that many. Oh, and I only cried a little, if at all, so don't feel heartless. The whole "one liter of tears" thing is supposed to be how much Aya cries while going through her ordeal, not how much viewers should cry while watching the drama.
I thought it was alright; I think I've just been numbed by all the "incurable diseases" storylines in dramas. Also, I think Aya's story itself is great, but by turning it into a drama and essentially creating drama: friends/classmates/parents of classmates was sort of a turnoff for me. All the blind ignorance and silliness sort of detracted from the essence of Aya's story. I just didn't like the triteness of the situations that occurred. I spent half the series thinking "are you forreals. students grades go down because they're helping her get to class on time????"
