Such a nice drama that hits all the feels. I'm glad I've finally watched it. Ha Ji Won always delivers a strong female lead that's relatable and sympathetic, w/o being (too) whiny. The romance between her and Lee Seung Gi was nice to watch. I love watching romance dramas where its our OTP against the world, and that's exactly what I got right up until the end!
It just didn't have enough romance for me. I mean, there doesn't have to be love confessions and heavy makeout sessions, but I just didn't feel the love. Too bad, I was excited for a high ranked BL drama, but I guess it just wasn't for me.
IDK why there's all this hate 4 the drama. NO, it's not amazing it's actually pretty basic but entertaining if you're looking for a rom-com with some melo. I do agree with everyone that the 1st half of the drama was better than the 2nd, showing Hye Jung's fierceness and fighting ability. I'm glad she didn't lose that a the drama went on, but I just lost interest halfway through. #1 gripe is that Ji Soo guest stars in a few eps as Hye Sung's good friend, and then just disappears. He's never brought up again and we never see him. I mean we could at least see him get discharged. He WAS hit by a car!
Perfection. Every moment of it shined. :'-) Why can't they all be like this?! Any advice on what I'm…
I'm willing to give it a try 1 day soon when I circle back around to needing a historical drama fix and let you know. I gave Park Shin Hye a chance and she is surprising me in Doctors (only on ep 9 right now, so we'll see:-).

Signal was meh for me, but Come Back Ahjushi looks interesting. I'm tempted to try Scarlet Heart Rueo since I LOVED the Chinese version but I just don't like the male lead in Ryeo.
Soooo good! Even though I'd have love a bit of romance (can't help it) this was awesome without it. Jang Hyuk delivers a great performance and even though I didn't quite recognize Kim Jae Wook at 1st, he was brilliant.
Maybe I wasn't in the right head space when I watched this, it just didn't move me. I'll admit that there were times I suddenly perked up in interest but it never really grabbed me & I don't know why. I did appreciate it, if that makes any sense. It's a solid crime drama I'd recommend to anyone interested, just not for me.
Nirvana in fire is probably one of the best there is. It's okay thats love is a keeper Platonic is so mind…
**Scarlet Heart** That one killed me... in the best way possible!
I was excited when the kdrama version was coming out (Moon Lovers) but I'm just not a fan of Lee Joon Gi so I never even tried to watch it. Is it any good?
This was amazing! A refreshing and new plot with a bit of every genre from romance, to fantasy and mystery. You'd think that would make the series a mess, trying to please everyone with everything and failing miserably. But W pulls it off seamlessly. The cast was perfect, and Lee Jong Suk has put yet another of his dramas in my favs list. And Han Hyo Joo was the perfect female lead. Usually I find them annoying and useless (ex. Pinocchio), but her acting was spot on. I could gush ab this one even more OR you could watch it and be amazed like the rest of us...
This was on my PTW list 4 a while, and having just finished Age of Youth I was excited to watch OTJ thinking it would be a more mature version. BUT it just wasn't as good. I just didn't like ANY of the female characters. They were so annoying in the beginning and there wasn't enough character growth (for me at least) throughout the drama for me to really connect with any of them. I would get interested in 1 plotline and then it seemed like whatever growth just stopped. Oh, and if you're watching for Wang Kai, don't bother. His screen time was minimal. IDK, this was a big disappointment for me. PM me if season 2 shows any promise as far as putting the few ships I cared about together, otherwise I'm done.
This was such a nice drama for me to take a break from my strict diet of deep, romance series. It had a bit of everything but I never felt like it was trying too hard. I even cared about all the characters! With a cast with so many 'leads' thats hard to do. I cant wait for season 2 bc that ending....just no :-/
This was a nice drama that was equal parts melo and comedy. I might have ranked this a bit higher if it weren't for my Second Lead Syndrome (ugh, the heartbreak even when you know its coming!!) I'd still recommend this drama though. As melo as it was, at least all the "bad guys" get punished and the good guys triumph. Can't as for more than that (minus my SLS:-)
The ONLY reason I gave this a try was because I fell in love with Ugly Ducking: Perfect match and needed my Kasetsin Puttichai fix. It started out just as charming and cute, BUT I jumped right in without realizing it had the slap-kiss theme. Ugh. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait for him to do more projects (more rom-com, less abusive) b/c this one just turned me off completely....for now.
I really loved this one! I've been on a historical drama kick lately, so this was a breath of fresh air. It was cute without going overboard and suggestive without being (too) vulgar, and the development of the relationships were natural. The only bad thing that stood out to me was Ju's reasoning for staying away from P'Suea when he tells her he likes her. I just don't get it. I think the writers might have done a better job coming up with/showing her reasoning on that one. Because otherwise she really was leading him on just to reject him time and time again :-/
