I had a low expectation going in, Boy oh boy, This has excelled in entertaining me and absolutely loved the Leads, FL mostly made the show enjoyable, Her character is so unique and quirky loved it so much. Chemistry is excellent between the leads and loved the sweet kisses done appropriately. Enemy turned lovers are my fav and this had done it quite well,
hated each other, then turned lovers, then Male lead pulled from relationship, the female lead try to walk away then turned lovers,
The twist and turns are really satisfying on this one. I was skeptical given the rating how they keep the show engaging for 32 episodes , surprisingly this is thoroughly enjoyable and finished within two days.
Although i admit they could have made it 30 episode drama, the mom turn child part i completely skipped doesnt sit well with me.
Overall , this is one of my favourite shows now,

It would have been sweetest ending if he survived and the leads gettogether. Sadly the drama portrayed the husband as not the bad guy and she assured him at one point even if he came back before the wedding she would have married her husband regardless. So disheartening for me. I am a sucker for happy romantic endings.

I thought it was the neck he was shot at. anyways, i would like to be optimistic, When she was waiting in the room while the operation was going on, the clock was stopped for a while and then ticked again when she looked at it and smiled, i would like to think happy thoughts that he survived, since there is no apparent mention of it. He deserved to be alive.

what makes you think that he is dead, is it because she was throwing the shark locket in the sea?

This is fantastic revenge drama. Not a dull moment in this one surprisingly given the rating here. Chemistry between the leads were fantastic and the first episode marriage and love making was heart breaking i was like , damn how in the world its gonna go and glad the way it did.
I was yearning for more romance between the leads, it was so good to watch them get together, some reason i left unsatisfied,
Felt like they abruptly ended without a good finish to the leads. I am gonna be optimistic and think of happy thoughts for them.
So glad i watched this, This is more better than Bad guy in interms of romance.

tag spoiler

This is one of the worst ending , I feel like i have been scammed.
I watched Moon embracing sun first , have not liked the FL much , But here wow, She looked like an angel. she is extremely pretty and cute. The chemistry worked out pretty well. Loved the story, just wished they had a better ending, this show has hit all the marks to be Good one, had they not ruined the ending.
I liked the ML he was excellent in (LIve upto your name) and aptly picked for this role as well.

It got extremely boring at the later half of the series. especially after 15th.

This failed to invoke the feelings and impact as much as The innocent man, secret love etc; However considering the time this was released its a pretty good job and enjoyed watching wholesome love melodrama. The climax could have been different, Leads acting was fantastic and kiss scenes are done well that we could get the feels.
I am onto stairway to heaven now. lets see how it goes

is this similar to secret love as well?

So , i waited for 3 years to watch this drama thinking that its on par with (I am sorry i love you) on a day when i need a good cry. Sadly , the story and weak screenplay made it a just a another melodrama. I admit that the climax broke my heard and bawling my eyes out, However the rest of the episodes did not make much of an impact. Mainly because it has so many illogical sequences that neither made sense nor convincing.
The first episode was perfect, it setup up things pretty good and makes you fall in love with the story, but its kinda downfall after 3 or 4 episodes.
Glad its only 10 episodes long. i love all Park shin hye's drama and she is excellent in acting in this as well. except her role was not consistent that her character did not fail to create the sympathy as it suppose to at the end. I am on to Stairway to heaven now . lets see how that one goes.

Currently watching Tree of heaven , I stopped watching melodrama for a while and had put the Autumn's tale, lover's concerto , stairway to heaven, on hold, and now its feels like i have to watch em all at one go.

i have not watched this one yet, But i watched over 300 K-dramas so far, There is no other drama which has traumatized me as much as I'm Sorry, I Love You, i cried my eyes out watching it , It took me days to come out of that agony and heartbreak. It made me feel like i was having a personnel loss of my close one.
I cherish this drama the most , but it always tugs my heart and have watery eyes whenever i hear that title.

is this (love to kill) has the same theme as Secret love? i have been in search of similar drama for a long time, the impact it was so dark and sweet mixture of scenes made it so special to my heart.

very poignantly explained and loved those poetic lines from the novel you highlighted and i agree with your observation .
She expressed one time what would it be like if they were met as a common couple to which the king responded , he couldnt even imagine it, indicating that there is no way he could give up his title for her. i think thats when she she realized there is no other way to be with him other than being his concubine.
yes this is indeed partly overlapped the theme of Moon lover.

It was the male lead who drew me into this for me. Thanks for that drama reference. I remember watching the crowed clown several months back, its coming back to me that the FL acted well in that one also did a good job in one of her other drama Kairos .
I admit i cried a lot before this Red sleeve drama ended. Somehow it always in the back of my mind eventhough she loved him she wanted the freedom to choose to express it or not, sadly i got the feeling that she was pressured into this relationship which she eventually gave into his persistence . I am sucker for romance, i always look for a romance tag in any drama which would give me extra push to watch it. Sadly this one although i enjoyed the drama , when i think back he pretty much ruined her life.

and your tiny little bubble is burst

yup, tagged

if you favor this male lead, then Just between lovers and The wok of love are two dramas you shouldnt miss. He lived the role in JBL.

BTS world is unknown to me.
I really could understand your view, although i like them had their moments , its not the chemistry between the leads that made me like her in the end, its her character depth eventhough she gave in to the love for the king, she always knew she cant have the wholesome love from him and she realizes this will be tragic one way or the other from the beginning and still chose to be with him, I adore her role and what she stood for which is not the simple love and its beyond that (her freedom to life) .
Moreover The male lead's previous drama (Just between lovers) has set the bar pretty high. the chemistry between the leads are off the charts it made me watch three times , i was without being aware kept comparing the chemistry which this one did not meet for me.
Anyways all in all this is a definite life lesson and time well spent.
