I tried... but I couldn't finish it... too long. The leading man is charming but not enough to make me waste my time. If it was 10-16 episodes yes but this long, um no.
Why did I trust the high reviews?!? This is a drama that you watch and then regret you spent the 16 hours finishing it (so yes, I am upset with myself!). It was just all shallow. Nothing impressive about their acting. It is all eye candy. The lead actress does not fit the role and there was just no spark... And it is so double standard that the girls felt violated for wearing short skirts in one episode but going to school, they are wearing the shortest skirt or shorts ever, why feel violated when they wear it to school and don't have a problem with it?! This was so messed up in thinking (beauty standards and perception about life) that it is sad.
I could only watch up to 31 eps., because I was fast forwarding most of it anyway. It was just getting repetitive and I told myself, I just want to have closure so I skipped the rest and jumped to the end - saved me a ton of time... P.S. I did not feel like I missed anything.
I am currently watching it... and it is not so bad... yes, there is that typical things in the drama that annoys you (but it is a drama - it is not realistic...) I hate to admit it but I am actually entertained by the shallowness, hahaha...
I wanted to like it, but I can only take so much drama in the "office" setting. I mean the "crying" and just pounding it to death. I reached up to episode 10 and I could not go on anymore. So I am going to take a break.
Why the hate? I am still enjoying it, I am in episode 12, sometimes it is a bit slow. I just enjoy their “lovey” moments and exchanges, esp Kim Rae Won’s lines - he will just say frankly how he feels about her.
I am in episode 15 and YES it is worth the watch... Very good plot and directing. SSH was perfect for the role . The plot kept me guessing until the end... BUT GOR, the lead actress is beginning to irritate me because of her "bite-lip" or "tight-lip" acting whether she is crying, upset or mad... I am glad it is only 16 episodes because I don't know if I can take anymore of her acting. I have nothing against her and I have watched her in other dramas but it seems that here "the face tight-lip" acting has become prominent.
The male lead is eye candy (I think that's what kept me going), but my gripe about Chinese dramas (I have watched about 10 or more) is that they are corni and sometimes act unnaturally shy when it comes to romance (it is as if they are teenagers); they tend to drag the scene; too much talking; I fast forward most of it since I am not interested in the other subplots. I don't know if I will be able to finish it. The lead girl has been getting on my nerves.
I like it. I am amazed at the acting of JJS, he copies KSH mannerisms flawlessly. This is an easy watch and there are scenes that made me laugh so hard (that is rare for me). So yes, this is a gem - I am still not finish though watching all of it, I had to actually drop it for the meantime (not in a negative way) but because I want to be able to binge watch it... and not wait for the episodes to be available.
You have to FF to enjoy it because of the Long talks about love (makes it really cheesy and each scene long) and unnecessary added drama/scenes that does not contribute to the plot. I would have dropped it, but somehow I get vested in it but not enough to watch every episode in full... i was also borderline getting irritated with how long they were going to drag the story of her not believing him... so yes, there are better dramas out there.
A "normal" setting drama. So this won't bring you to dramaland like other RomCom (you know, how you watch something because it is a form of escape and then back to reality - this won't). It was fun to watch, I gave it a 7.
