I thoroughly enjoyed this series, but I do hope for a second season. The ending wasn't entirely satisfying. I also thought it was a flaw that they left loose ends with some side characters and didn't give closure to the love lines. It was a pity that Go Yeon Woo didn't get to use his ability after some time, or at least they didn't show how it. Anyway, I loved the characters and I really hope for a continuation.

Just saying, I am German, too, and I often work more than 10 hours a day, I also work Saturdays. It all depends on the field you work in. I am not saying the system in Korea is good, but sadly it's the truth, the way it's depicted in Kdrama (mostly). I've been to SK twice and met some locals whom I hung out with after their work times. They often work overtime but have plans with friends or their company basically every day. They say that if you decline to participate, the other party gets offended very easily, even if you're just tired and want to go home, there is social pressure not to do so. It's sad.

You guys should watch 'The Package'. I loved that drama on so many levels. it was so realistic. The (fast) romance followed naturally, and there was even a scene where the woman (!!!) said she always carries condoms and it should be a given as you cannot know what situation you get into. I was like: hellooooo, finally a Kdrama that knows how the world works HAHA
But yeah, sadly it's a topic rarely addressed

What annoys me to no end is when they park their car right in front of a public building, especially hospitals and such. Like, duh, there are parking spaces for such things and if you tried to park in front of a freaking hospital unless it's an emergency you'd be towed on the spot.
I agree with most of the things on your list, too.
And there are so many more.
My Nr. 1 problem is indeed Product Placement (especially that freaking massage chair, I swear if I have to see it again in a drama this year, I am gonna----) and as you mentioned in your post, cell phones and other fancy gadgets. Or, worse, if the characters are even forced to make a comment about said product, like coffee, or red ginseng or whatever, and it's obvious they are holding it at an angle so we can see the label properly.
Also, FANCY CLOTHES, especially outerwear and jackets. NO ONE, not even the richest person has a new coat for every day. I am like... *facepalm*

'It's Okay, That's love', my all time favorite <3333 So much love for this!! And Just between Lovers was also quite memorable, albeit at times really painful. Soratobu Kouhoushitsu is one of the few Japanese dramas I have seen, and it was good as well.

I think maybe 'Another Miss Oh' would be another recommendation, although the healing in this case has a lot to do with broken love. But each character also struggles with their own circumstances, like inferiority complex, being part of a complicated family and such.

Another healing recommendation is 'Oh My Venus'. The premise sounds quite dull, but the further you dive into it, the more you discover all the demons within the characters they have to overcome. Love love love this drama.

Dancing Goat, I find it funny that you're talking about low standards when you've rated more than half the dramas you have watched with a full score of 10, even those I would label mediocre at best. Just as a comparison, I've watched more than 150 dramas, and I only gave 2 a full score. Of course you're welcome to rate the shows as you wish, but don't insult those that have a different opinion from yours.

I think her personal problems have nothing at all to do with her capabilities at work. We constantly see her as nothing but professional while working, she is very caring and trustworthy for her patients, which is crucial in her field. While I agree she has yet to grow in a relationship aspect, it's to be expected of someone her age.
All her emotional turmoil seems reasonable to me. A hundred times better than Min Ho's rude behavior whenever something doesn't go his way.

But those episode ratings don't count for the overall ratings, so it doesn't show in the Top show overview. Personally I think it's nonsense to 'review' an ongoing drama, but a simple star rating that's open to change is a different matter. But anyway, I guess people just feel differently about that.

What's the matter, you can always change your ratings as you go. I always rate the dramas after watching like 5 pr 6 episodes but I usually change it a couple of times until I finish. There is nothing wrong with that? Otherwise it would be difficult to give an idea about ratings for an ongoing show.

Yeah, let's just keep our fingers crossed that they'll pull it off :)

You should watch It's Okay That's love. she only has a side-role in this one, but I loved her there.

Same, I dropped Hit The Top after episode 2, I never liked the main dude, and I just thought it was weird af

Uh, no, she is 27, he is 36, that's a 9 years difference. I am not saying it's terrible, but I myself am 28, and I couldn't imagine dating someone who's 36. But yeah, you're right, Marriage Contract was amazing. I am glad I only found out about their age difference after completing it, though. I just think Lee Sang Yoon looks way older than 36. Let's wait and see, it might be amazing.

This is a Chinese production, so this is the original. I agree with you, though. I haven't watched a single Chinese drama or movie without terrible audio.

It's probably again one of these dramas where the episodes are split in half and are only 30 minutes long. So 4 episodes are actually 2 episodes only and two will be airing on Monday and then two on Tuesday. This is a regular '20 eps' drama.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon was such a disappointment and is terribly overrated in my opinion. I agree with the other two.

Episode 12 was my favorite. So so so so much love for that couple <3

Bo Young said she would meet Min Ho after her other appointment (with Dr. Ye), though. There was no reason for him to rush, and it was also not a competition for who gets there faster. It's about who Bo Young has feelings for. Even if Min Ho had confessed to her before, she would have rejected him. It is obvious she treasures him, but only as a friend now. She has long moved past her crush. I feel bad for him, too, but it wasn't really a race ^^"

I see, thank you both for your replies! :)

I don't see many people here who are familiar with the work this is based on, so I would like your opinion on this. I read the original novel to this, even designed a stage and costume concept for university and watched several movie adaptions to prepare for it. This is why I feel a somewhat deeper connection to all the characters, and while I was looking forward to see a Korean adaption, I was afraid of all the things that could go wrong with this, so I have only watched episode 1. Most of the viewers here seem to think it's the worst drama in history or something... Do you think it is still worth watching? Would I enjoy it with the original French novel in mind? I would appreciate a reply, thank you.
