Agreed unfortunately they lost a lot of their impact due the surrounding guff,. Such a tonal shift between the two parts - not one laugh :(

I'm really not that fond of episodic dramas I keep trying them but I just get bored.
I wish this had been a RomCom with KSJ being all jolly hockey sticks Judo girl, oh well.

Enjoyed the first part far more than the second - I hit FF quite a lot in the lasty 10 episodes and pretty much all of the last 3 zipped past.

It's one of the reasons I often struggle with them. Shows without anyone to root for are hard to persevere with.

It's not the age is the content, I watched Truth last week and enjoyed it.

Good solid makjangish drama. Nice and simple in some ways but an enjoyable ride.

That's an episodic drama - like a courtroom or medical drama with a new case every episode.

I was sort of enjoying the silliness of this which kept me from being too critical of all the glaring plot holes but episode 6 sort of tipped me off the edge. I might go back to it.. or I might not

Always nice to read a review that tells you what you need to know succinctly.

Yeah I think they all did it better though Season 1 is the high point of Hanna

I'm not sure I can manage, I didn't like either of the leads (as characters the actors are fine) and the annoying voice in my head keeps saying things like "why doesn't he have brain damage" "Why isn't his nose broken and his teeth all knocked out?" "how did a skinny little thing like that chuck a big bloke around?" Never a good sign when your suspension of disbelief falters in the early episodes.

Kept me interested for an episode. Gave up after 3.
Good for slightly dissipated nihilistic teen angst memories.
Bad for form over substance.
Homage to Ki ck-Ass?

Loved the first couple of episodes but it faded fast for me. The characters were the best part but at the end none of them felt properly explored and fleshed out. Could have been so much more.

Ah! so within the first episode the smart ass ML has already shown his superiority over the titular FL umpty times. Why not name it after him instead?

Not a bad version though perhaps a little more morally flawed than others. As in the Korean version I reached the end of my tether when the online persona/grooming came up, though I'd already lost most of my compassion for the ML by then anyway. Up to about ep.30 it's ok but not great.

cheers @Geez

This keeps dragging me in and then spitting me out again. I quite the like the leads both their characters and acting but the rest of it ...not so much. If they could have toned down at lot of the background shenanigans and played with the romance a bit more it would have been better for me.
Stalled at ep. 9 I don't know if I'll finish it..

Do you think Se Jong is channelling Abe Uta for her depiction of Our Mandu?

Didn't realise we'd segued into season 2 which is nice.
I don't usually watch as things air, I'm not a fan of C-drama, I'm even less of a fan of costume drama yet I'm waiting for new episodes with bated breath.
Laugh out loud funny, swoon worthy in places and loads of people you love to hate - excellent stuff!
