Yesssss, i love Kim Hye Roon too and yes shes very likeable, i really tried to finish Secret Inspector but somehow i cant, but for you i will try to revisit it one of these days.

No worries, different shows are ALWAYS subjective and hit and touches people differently depending on a lot of situation theyre in. I actually read some of your reviews too and i can say some of it we are in the polar opposites (like i cant even finish Royal Inspector no matter how much i love Taecyeon) and some we are in agreement (like in A TIme Called you which I really loved). But thats the beauty of it, i cant complain when people tell me they didnt like my review. I have the tendency to be more forgiving and lenient to shows because i know it takes a village in making them. This is also why i tend to avoid writing really really harsh reviews to the worst shows Ive seen because i know even if i find it bad, some people may still like them.
your idea that unfinished story arcs underdeveloped characters with arcs that go nowhere is proof of good writing…
Wow i understand your frustration with my review but thanks for reading anyway. What i meant to say is the writer has clearly made engaging characters that I cared enough to want to know what happened to them. A lot of other shows introduced/put characters, even main characters that i simply didnt care for. The fact that i was looking for some of the unfinished characters in this series meant that i loved them enough to wanna know what happened to them and are rich enough to warrant a longer story arc. I dont know what transpired behind this series that they decided to do only 12 episodes but i also understand that having that limitation meant some story has to go and edited out.
Amazing first 3 episodes, faster paced than the original but doesnt feel rushed at all. Very good main leads too. This is how you do a remake (im looking at you addicted heroin).
i think its time we tell Thai producers to stop remaking well-loved international series... It makes me sad cause this is just a poor copy of both the previous version.
@Pinoy Ares,Hello.You have a detailed review on the said drama and I can imagine that you have been into Korean…
Hi thanks for commenting and writing and i appreciate the friendly posts!
To be perfectly honest with you, i became a K-drama fan mainly because of one actor- Kim Soo Hyun. I remembered travelling a few times to Singapore for work more than 10 years ago and constantly seeing his big cute Samsonite ads in the airport (there was a lot of big posters scattered in Changgi Airport) thats I started reasearching about him and watching his dramas. He made me a fan. Well also because Kdrams are much easier to watch than your typical US series at the time. Just about 16 episodes and you move on to the next story.
I like light and fluff series, something that makes you forget your reality even if its just for a few hours. regarding Cinderella type storylines, here are some that i watched that i can quickly think of that may fall into thie same richboy-poor girl category (please take note that this not in order of importance or quality): 1. Cinderella and the Four Knights 2. The Heirs 3. A Business Proposal 4, Boys over Flowers 5 Cheese in the Trap 6. Whats Wrong with Secretary Kim 7. King the Land 8. Strongwoman Do Bong Soon 9. Shopping King Louie 10. I AM Robot (maybe) 11. She Was Pretty 12.Are You Human Too 13. Bride of Habaek
Some historical/fantasy themed rich/poor girl stories: 1, Scarlet Heart Ryeo 2. 100 days my Prince 3. Rookie Historian 4. The Red Sleeve 5. Love in the Moonlight 6. Forbidden Marriage 7. Lovers in the Red Sky
hi thanks for reading and commenting! Dont get me wrong, i did finish the series and watched it weekly thats why…
Hi @ilocanongtagalog, thanks for joining the discussion.
I actually thought it will be a very different show during the first episode. I even loved their break up dinners but as the show progressed it became eveident that i expected too much.

This is a good show, certainly better than the last few remakes we had/have in the past few months.

Im also sorry for the long reply. I understood that you were answering my question in my review about it being titled Cinderella at 2AM :)
