According to this article, he's considered an "emerging drama God" these days in S Korea. My Korean is extremely basic but I can identify the word namshin (= God) and google translate did the rest.

I especially like this part "Jung In Sun constantly praised KJH's human beauty throughout the interview. She explained that he always asked her things like 'How about this? Is this okay? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to do this or not?' ... She also added 'I already knew that he was fascinating and I still remember the first time I saw him.' She said that she believes Kim Jung Hyun is going to be really big."

No problem :) I'm glad I could help you with my description of the character!

I don't want to spoil it for you, so I'm just going to say that SJ is very hard to figure out because the writer made him pretty ambiguous. You have to pay attention to every detail because he's kind of a question mark for a while... and he kind of still is. For some that's annoying, but I love it because his actions aren't predictable.

I would say yes. His character is a mixture of his previous roles. He's as smooth as Cheon Suho (Time), with Tae Woon's insightful mind (School 2017), and Dong Gu's goofy charm (Eulachacha Waikiki). Personally, I think he's doing a terrific job. He cracks me up all the time.

His screentime during the first two weeks of the drama was very short, but now he's getting a lot more. Another thing, he'll most likely have a separate love line with Seo Ji Hye's character, Seo Dan.

Think about what you wrote for a second. Even if BK were satan's spawn, the character would be loved by many who sympathize with him because of his doomed existence. Many feel identified with his hopelessness and helplessness and that's why they want to see him catch a break. You're saying that the writer should use suicide as a solution, but that's basically encouraging suicide. Making him end his suffering that way would translate into making suicide look like an appealing exit for those who feel hopeless like BK. This would be a very destructive message and S Korea already has sky-high suicide rates. HR and DO will live happily ever after, don't worry. No suicide needed.

THIS! And even worse when she said "What if I really killed him? How would I live with myself?" I remember watching that scene and going "Um, yeah... that's none of his business. If you really killed his brother, he shouldn't care about your potential feelings of guilt at all." Let's be real, if DH/JY hadn't had feelings for her, he would've reacted in a much less understanding way to such a shameless complaint. I understand that she was angry and shocked after finding out that he'd been lying to her, but that was a super selfish statement. You'd think YY would want to help him find the truth, but instead, she was being confrontational and only caring about her feelings. Sure, he tricked and played her, and that was completely wrong, but when you see it from his perspective, it's baffling: the person who may have murdered your brother is upset with you because you are asking her to help you find the truth. Why should he care about her if it turned out she was the murderer?! (she's obviously not - but that's something "we" know, not DH/JY)

If it weren't because YY isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, I'd have thought that she was using his feelings against him. The whole thing reeked of emotional manipulation.

This was one of the worst dramas I've watched in a while! WTH?! I hate almost every character (the narcissistic male lead takes the cake, though. When he sent her a picture of his abs, I gagged. Dude, you're not the only hot guy on Earth, y' know!!!! Then when he told her that he doesn't want her to like boy bands? Look, I'm not even into kpop, but that's just a red flag as big as Asia! He's insanely suffocating and possessive. Ew.)
Long story short? The plot is unbelievably rushed and contrived and most characters are pretty horrible people. I don't recommend it at all. Bummer.

Great drama & great cast ❤

I know that, but LH is just an overrated character to me. I don't care for him and I never did. I think his redemption wasn't even done right. I've seen these type of stories before multiple times and I still don't find them interesting. Sorry, I just can't get past all the terrible things LH has done and I believe Sunny deserves a lot better. Just my humble opinion.

I agree with you 100%

Actually, I'm not surprised. People usually root for the bad guys and want the female lead to "save" their tortured souls and give them happiness. The female lead's desires and best interests are relegated to a secondary position because the poor tortured male lead deserves a happy ending and that's the fans' priority. SMH. It's some kind of stupid fantasy that many women have, for some reason. I like S&W's chemistry a lot more than S&H's because there is a slow but sincere love building between SN and WS. LH is just weird and dangerous to me. The good thing is that Sunny doesn't want anything to do with him and that she has stated this multiple times. I love that she puts herself first.

I've loved her since the first drama I watched with her: Fated to Love You. She's the main actress in 2 of my 4 favourite dramas of all time: I Remember You and Go Back Couple. JNR is so charismatic, sweet, humble, and down-to-earth.

Great article.

Thanks so much to you and all the translators who generously give us their time and hard work. You guys are plain amazing!

This drama is so silly, over-dramatic, and off-the-wall but I love every bit of it. I never get bored and that's something that has rarely happened to me while watching a tv show or movie. JNR, SSR and LE are awesome and deserve all the praise that they're getting both internationally and locally. I can't wait for the moment CJH starts shining because he's just as talented, and his lack of screentime needs to be fixed asap.

Basically, this drama is good because it compensates its lack of logic with a super dynamic and entertaining plot. I can switch my brain off and get sucked into the crazyness, but I really hate it when a drama drags and moves at a snail's pace.
