Happy ending but I'm not so happy. Is this what we get for wanting something that's non-existent in the beginning?…
The only way I could accept this ending, is if BH was SY's reincarnation in the present day and the whole 'change of sexual preference' aspect of it dealt as if it were an accidental case of a sex-reassignment. Then again, the topic itself is so sensitive, I don't think the humour would have gelled-well with this T_T
Loved the show slightly disappointed with the end, but knew that Korea would never do any thing different and…
Her performance has blown out all those unconvincing 'cross-dressing trope' dramas. She sells the 'male soul in a female body' dressed in her beautiful silk hanboks MORE than any of those actresses pretending to be a boy, who couldn't even fool my grandma with her -7.5 thick eyeglasses. SHS's role required her to use her entire body, and I was solidly on team 'micro-expressions is the most nuanced acting' but she's totally changed my mind. The only other performance I can think of 'woman as a convincing man' is Megan Lai from Bromance.... and SHS might have topped even that! ^^
Okay so, I have mixed feelings about the ending, spoilers below
More like SHS’s character got to be the endgame with the King because she’s the FL, and CJH’s character got tossed aside because he’s the guest star. Wth. This billing order thing needs to STOP. ‘First billed’ doesnt mean it’s okay for them to end up together, esp if it doesnt make script-sense. They did it with Start-Up too. This billing-order thing needs to stop. Ps. I think SHS is a mindblowing actress, and she deserves a Daesang for this spectacular portrayal! I’m not a fan of CJH either, so i’ll not be entertaining accusations that I’m a SHS hater.
its a very enjoyable drama but i wouldn't exactly say it deserves a 8.9 *relative* to other dramas. but its not…
You should give TROTAR a try.. best time-travel drama ending. Best resolution of the OTP, the time-travel continuity And logic. They even solved the modern day timeline, how the travel affected the outcome of the original story, and how the OTP ended up liking each other when they were not intended to. Additionally, the humor and the show’s social commentary on gender-stereotypes in the society is JUST gold. If you’re familiar with c-drama industry, There are also plenty of insider jokes! They really did an amazing job with the ending (alrhough it has severe pacing issues)
Well, count me as one of the many people who are *really* disappointed by the way this ended. And no, I don't…
The only way they could have sold So Young taking over in the end convincingly, to me, is to have the reincarnation theory play out... they were the same soul from different timelines all along. That's how I wouldn't have felt BH got cheated, and SY catfished the King. :/
even though bonghwan's existence in soyong's body provided great comedic relief, it simply wouldnt've been logical…
Wow, this is the most convincing and least aggressive argument I have heard from the 'other camp'..... going to save this.. Thanks for wording it so nicely! ^^
Not only has Mr. Queen trolled Start-Up 4 times already, as commonly agreed upon by fellow MDL users, but I think they used the same child-actor for flashback scenes for both the MLs..... -_- Bwahahahahahaha xD
this is why i hate netflix shows is the second season going to be a continuation or completely new characters…
I read it was a different set of cast, but same format. They'll retain the crew and the creative team most likely. Hope the next set of cast is as brilliant as this one, and the story a tad better! :3
Let’s take a moment to think about the type of CONFUSION that is going on, inside of Jang Bong-Hwan/Kim So-Yong.Is…
Let's take a moment to appreciate the writer's brilliant idea to trick homophobic haters.... 'we'll make the gay bits look straight, and the straight stuff look gay' ^^ Haters: 'confused pikachu face'
Yep, even I used to think 1million is the point where insta offers you the blue tick... but i have seen many a k-pop celebrities with the blue tick with around 500k/600k followers (the backup artists, choreographers etc)... Also, verification needs some id proofs and other formalities to be fulfilled by insta, including a close zoom-in of your face as your DP while your profile is being considered (last I heard was more than a year back)... Yep, KJH definitely is very intelligent, and seems to have a very high EQ (no wonder he is a method actor).. ^^ I'm happy he's in a position to once again indulge fan-requests <3

'Move aside noobs, lemme show you how it's done....' :P :P
Has So-Bong already started to affect the timeline, and make it an alternate universe?
