Thoughts on Third Rate-My Way drama.

KBS2 has slot in its latest Mon-Tue weeknight drama entitled Third Rate My Way 쌈 마이웨이 which features Park Seo Joon, Kim Ji Won, Ahn Jae Hong and Song Ha Yun. Well everyone knows Park Seo Joon's most recent pre-production sageuk drama as Kim Sun Woo in Hwarang: The Beginning under KBS. Kim Ji Won's popularity soared from The Heirs to Descendants of the Sun- also under KBS pre-production. Ahn Jae Hong is one loveable character from tVN's Reply 1988 and Youth Over Flowers program. As for Song Ha Yun, she was seen recently in the SBS drama Band of Sisters

Third Rate My Way revolves around 4 happy go lucky friends who knew each other since they were kids to adults. They are better known as Fantastic Four Idiots. Park plays as Goo Dong Man- a former Taekwondo elite player who dropped out after an incident. Kim plays as concierge desk Ae Ra who finds herself in trouble when her boyfriend cheated on her. Ahn plays the genius of the group, Joo Man as he's a buyer in the home shopping channel while Song plays his girlfriend Seol Hee who also works as a customer service rep in the same office.

Dong Ma's first crush Hye Ran is a beautiful announcer but has recently divorced. He finds himself isolated because of his status and image. His former coach Hwang played by Kim Sung Oh is ridiculously funny and tries to get him back to train as part of the national team.
And of course we are treated to few cameo appearances in the drama such as Ji Jin Hee, Choi Woo Shik and Kwak Dong Yeon. 

It's quite a light hearted romantic comedy involving the immature friendship of Dong Man and Ae Ra who are often at loggerheads but they helped each other out when one is in despair. Not too impatient to drop off this drama but will see how it goes...I won't say it's overly fantastic or interesting but it's a good way to pass your time especially at night after work or a drink. Hah!
