Drama Special Season 5: The Dirge Singer (2014)

"A woman who was born to cry." ~ Basically means she was born into a family that gets paid to cry at noblemen's funerals (I can't believe they actually did that!). That's their job, their duty - what a sad life to have to cry for your money... The daughter doesn't like this so she wants to smile for a living instead thinking it would be better than crying. Then we have our main lead guy who was born half noble (Noble father and gisaeng mother) So he on the other hand hates to smile. These two come across each others path and question each other on why he/she doesn't like to smile/cry - their answers were pretty much the same with different circumstances. They are both suffering individuals of different ranks who sort of heal each other - in a friendship kind of way (I'd like to imagine that their might be something for them in the future) lol ^^

Both Kim Yoo Jung and Seo Jun Yeong did a great job portraying their characters desperate feelings of desire, hate and anguish. and it was nice to see their "change" in the end :)

I don't remember any music besides the little bit Kim Yoo Jung sang on here...

Since I ended up watching it raw, I think I will go back and watch a couple scenes with subs lol - but other than that I think one time through is enough. It's not a boring drama special but it also doesn't have that much to the story either. I think its a decent watch especially if you are watching for a certain actor. For me it was mainly Seo Jun Yeong - but I also like Kim Yoo Jung so she was just an added bonus for me in this :P
