Al1954

I hope she chooses the opportunity to tell married Korean women (well, really, all married women) not to put up with disgusting or abusive behavior from their spouses…and also NOT for the sake of the children. The children also suffer in their own way.

I like Uri and find her immature infatuation believable and understandable due to her age. Why not? There’s been no clues that she’s up to something sneaky or malevolent. The guy is divorced, looks nice and has always treated her kindly.

True. Very surprising!

I’ve never tired of rewatching this wonderful, uncomplicated soap. The very first episode, in Cuba, remains in my memory always. The combination of two beautiful people accidentally meeting and continuing towards a close relationship, the scenic views from El Malecón in Havana, and Omara Portuando’s beautiful singing set the mood for the whole series. Give it a go if you’re shopping for a very pleasant easy-watch with touching emotions.

A-men to that!

I follow the shenanigans of this drama with much enjoyment. Wonderful actors, all. Actually, I’ve come to realize that in spite of the superficial hah-hahs that are always present, this is really a tragedy wrapped with ill humor. There’s no smiling throughout the leading lady’s basic existence and challenges as wife and mother or her recent realization that she’s been betrayed for 20 years. That she tolerates, and has tolerated, the antics of her scumbag husband is almost self abuse. However, there are many women of this age who succumb to this existence because they believe “this is the way it is, but it’s mine.” Tragic.

I believe that, by the end, she’ll finally evolve into a strong and assured woman—without worry about having, or not having, a man at her side. The Roy-boy is a pleasant-enough person but maybe she should hold off and continue to develop all the wonderful human qualities she has as a doctor.

I suspect the scumbaggo will attempt to change into a “new man” (a term relative to shit-turned-to-manure) but the good doctor will, hopefully, decide to—kick him out on his bony ass!

(I’ll now go see what Ms. Bo-Ra is up to.)

I thought the (now legal) ex-wife forecasting eternal damnation in the Inferno to Sang Jin was priceless. Now, that’s a clean break-up and only took 10 seconds.
This Ms. Joon In Na is impossible to ignore and admire: whether she’s sitting, standing, slow or fast walking, heels, slippers, good/bad hair, etc., seeing her always produces an “ahh.” Lucky girl, she’ll age gracefully in her craft.

Boy, you said it!

Donald Trump quoted for business advice? Except for “thank you, daddy” or “lie your ass off,” nothing else comes to mind immediately.

Many criticisms of her as a “bad” actress with rigid facial expression. Really? Why? Because she doesn’t overact, maybe? That lady’s expressive dimensions are subtle and unforced, whether she is in love or terrorized. Many times she exudes emotional sensations only with her eyes using physical movement—only and with intelligence—when called for. Her portrayal of roles in dramas I’ve had the pleasure to watch (and rewatch) have always struck me as sincere. Thank you, dear girl.

Anyone with a spare pillow to whack the mother-in-law with? What a repulsive being! The husband is as despicable as his mother. (Wow, great actors at work.)

How tragic and how ironic. At the top of MDL’s page, the death of this young person and at the bottom, birthday anniversary celebrations for other young people.

Sending my condolences to the family and my appeals to those in entertainment management to learn from these tragedies and help to avoid them, as Ms. Hammond’s comment below recommends.

Color me curious, but: How the hell does a brand new show, with just 2 episodes in receive a 7.9 rating which is usually seen as slightly disappointing by kdrama shoppers? What a travesty! Shouldn’t there be a timeline to post these, so-called, ratings? After 6+ episodes or so?
I’m glad to have ignored it and am enjoying the goings-on very much, so far.

Very entertaining show with an interesting plot and terrific “good” and “bad” guys. The head scumbag, in particular—played by the charismatic and super-versatile, Kim Joo Hyun—made loathing his character a lot of fun.

If I have any criticism, at all, is that the ML is too damn pretty! I mean this guy even looks like a pretty boy after absorbing a full-fledged beating and kicking episode in prison. Good heavens, he’s more beautiful than the actresses—even after he has the crap pounded out of him! Of course, please know I’m just kidding here. I’ve enjoyed Mr. Lee’s other roles very much and wish him continued success in his career. It’s not his fault he has good genes. (Maybe, though, for his next role, the character develops an unfortunate pimple episode before a date. You think?!)

As mentioned above in one of the reviews, this has all the makings of a John Wick-like franchise. I do hope they proceed forward with it featuring this truly- remarkable (!) actress as the centerpiece. I couldn’t help but see a bit of black comedy manifested in the dichotomy of having a fearless killer succumb powerlessly to the demands of being a parent to a teenager. (Personally: been there, done that.)

Yes, some folks say very silly things about actors. It’s part of the prize of fame.

Thank you.

Ok, I give up looking! Where, o’where is this show airing? Guidance appreciated.

Still like this drama a lot, even with the few plot pretzels that keep getting baked. Finally established is that the FL is older than the ML which should finally put that subject to end here (who gives a damn, anyway).
Carry on, please…

A pleasant series with attractive leads and support cast. The writing broached sensitive subjects present in the relationships of both the lead couples as well as the divorced ones the leads handled as lawyers.

Was it a sad ending? Yes and No. Frankly, if the main leads had remarried, it would not have given me any repose to believe that their future happiness was to be an eventual reality. They seemed to be in the immature exhaust stage of—still—their first love but unable to transition with those feelings to a level of maturity where corrections and selfless compromising is very necessary for relationship longevity.

The second lead couple also have their work cut out for them—marrying with the main impetus of having a unplanned pregnancy. As their roles were not sufficiently developed in the story, there may be hidden passions within them other than rejoicing that the sonogram showed the fetus had “something” between his tiny legs.

Although I compliment most of the writing, E12 had some of the most awful/corny/teary scenes that induced “o’ come ons” more than the previous 11 episodes together.

Oh, well, on to the felicities of “Crash Course in Romance.”
