Korean Drama: Modern Farmer 2014

My my it is Hong Ki! It is the second drama of Hong Ki this year after Bride of the Century. Unlike, his latter drama, this is a musical drama. YEAH! He can showcase his singing again in this drama which is hat I love about him. He has a strong, powerful voice.

Excellent Souls "EXO" is a popular rock band omposed of 4 members lead by Lee Min Ki  which suddenly disbanded after one of their member betrayed the group. After 7 years, the band members had let go of music and had lived their life normally, or s it seems. One has been a temporary employee for years now, another is studying for an exam to be a government employee which he constantly failed more than twice. The one who betrayed them is an intern at a hospital that they owned but never once has received his father's recognition. Lee Min Ki is jobless, full of debt, but he never forgotten about his passion for music, and did I forget he is broke?

Min Ki is the only one full of hope that the band can get their fame back, but how, he has no money and he has to pay the loan sharks in three months. Suddenly, he inherited a huge chunk of land from his late grandmother with which he decided to plant cabbage to improve his life as well as his bandmates. This is where their adventure as city boys turned to farmers become. Clueless bout country living and farming, how will they survive?

This is what happens when city folk suddenly become country people. As what one of the character said n the first episode, "City people go to the provinces when they are broke and they think that faring is easy, well, it is not." Indeed, it was difficult for our cutties since they know nothing about farming and they have to search for farming instructions online. They looked so stupid not knowing what to do and how to start planting cabbages. They have to do it soon, if Min Ki has to pay his debts. 

I like this drama because Hong KI is not very serious unlike his previous drama. Here he can just play along and just enjoy. I heard Lee Hong Ki sing in the first episode and he is so passionate about it. His voice is powerful. I hope to see more of him singing in this drama. He dyed his hair blonde again. He looked cute with black him in Bride of the Century.
