A fun show to watch

Chen Xing Xu looks fabulous in his role as Qian Heng. The stylist did a good job on both his and Zhang Ruo Nan's outfits. They were both so visually pleasing to watch. Honestly, the entire cast was filled with beautiful people.

As for the show, the plot was pretty cliche. However they tried to make it slow burn and that made it interesting to watch. The ending was satisfying and I was glad to see Cheng Xi and Wu Jun happy together. Wu Jun was such a adorable character to watch. Even when ML and FL were in the room, Wu Jun often stole the show.

While I understand the demands of the character like Cheng Yao, however I have seen Zhang Ruo Nan act better in other dramas. The character was just very agreeable and timid. There is some spark now and then that makes it from becoming boring.

The only part that I didn't much care for was woman who was interested in the ML maligned FL's reputation, and no-one actually suggested to check the camera footage. At the time the ML was away, so when he came back, FL had already resigned and then ML suddenly thought to check camera footage, because none of the other bright lawyer had the same idea. Too unbelievable. Thankfully, they didn't drag that for long and got it over with in around 3 episodes I think.

Apart from that one story arc which was completely unnecessary, the show is fun to watch.

I wish more dramas were this riveting! Hate waiting for the new episodes... But I will.

When I first heard about the drama, I liked everything about it. The title, the description, the cast, so, I was looking forward to the drama. I knew that it would hold my interest from the first episode. A lot of spoilers down below, so avoid reading it if you don't like spoilers.

Based on the the 1 episode I have seen, I love it! I can't wait to see how this one unfolds. Its so good to see Kim Soo Hyun be so emotional in his role. Before this, all the characters he has portrayed were so stoic. The drunk scene was so adorable! The distance between the ML and FL just makes me curious as to what caused it? Can it even be bridged?

With what little information we have at hand, I currently don't mind if they get divorced. In fact, one of my most prominent thought throughout the first episode was, "I hope he gets a divorce." He was so damn stressed! I have seen and read countless stories where it is the submissive FL that marries into a family that thinks she is not good for their son. And the son won't even stand up to them or speak for her. Here, while she defends him behind his back, she still lets them talk to him that way as if he owes them.

The FL looks kind of unrecognizable in the wedding scene in the beginning. I kept questioning, was that even Kim Ji Won?

At the end of the episode 2, we could all see how relieved he was when she told him that she only had 3 months to live. We could all hear the gears in his head. So, no need to file for divorce anymore, just endure for 3 months. Just started 2nd episode, which only confirms his feelings. I'm honesty not surprised though, throughout the episode we can see how hard he is trying to control his happiness. One would think, that it is not possible to salvage this at all. So far, the FL seems a bit heartless, so I'm wondering what she can do to convince us that there is more to her.

Episode 3 started out pretty boring, but we do have two interesting developments, our SML (Yoon Eun Seong) might be harboring some serial killer fantasies. I think, Mo Seul Hee [Man Dae's girlfriend], is behind the boar attack. I might definitely be suspecting someone is innocent, but she seems pretty suspicious at this point. At least in this episode we get to see that FL does have some feelings for the ML, my favorite dialogue so far, "You'd be the biggest waste." Never thought this could be said in romantic context with such possessiveness. One thing I find a bit hilarious about the FL is that she is delusional about her illness, arguing with the doctors that she will experience a miracle.

Episode 4 did not disappoint. The FL kind of reminded me of the Lee Young-joon from What's wrong with secretary Kim and Min-Min from Strong Woman, with her over-the-top self-praising shenanigans. It was quite fun to watch. What I liked the most was the ending, it was the first time the ML displayed genuine feelings for the FL (Most of the time he just wants to run away, which actually seems like a good idea for him in this setting) With the memory loss angle, I wonder if the FL is going to be cured and then loose the memory of falling in love with him again and mistreat the guy in future.

Okay. After watching episode 5, I'm sure that she is going to die and make us cry. Since we have only seen the FLs horrible side with a dash of niceness here and there, it was hard to like her in the first 2-3 episodes. But since then, we get to see more and more of her struggles and while not completely a decent character, its easy to identify her coping mechanism. She dealt with everything alone when she should have relied on her partner. Loosing a child can be a terrible blow to the parents, so it is not uncommon that they lived separately since then, relying on their own. I am starting to like the FL somewhat and like the ML, its going to be a bitter ending. Also, can't believe we have such a interesting cameo: Sebastian Roche! I thought my eyes were playing trick on me, so I had to google and it was confirmed!

Ep 6: Damn, she found out. I get that she is hurt, but once I want her to put herself in his shoes and think about all he has been through to take that extreme measure. Also, what the hell is wrong with the Hong family, is everyone crooked, except for the weirdo aunt that I very much enjoy watching. She seems to be the only other person who cares about people in that family!

Ep 7 & 8: Okay, the drams is called queen of tears because it is making us all cry. One thing you have to say about the makers of the show, they gave us such great cameos! First we had Oh Jung Se, then Sebastian Roche, and now Vincenzo. Who are we going to see next? The Vincenzo arc was too short for my liking it just ended abruptly, at least Oh Jung Se got a decent arc. I finally have started liking the FL, more so because she accepted that the reason for divorce was her. Can't believe that we are only halfway through, I just want them to drop all the episodes right now.

Ep 9 & 10: Gotta love Hyun Woo's mom, she treats Hae In so well, which can be readily seen in front of her treatment from her poor excuse of a mother. She even calls him a scumbag, calling him out on his behavior when he found out that Hae In was going to die. The epilogues are so good. I see many people comparing this one to Uncontrollably Fond, but I disagree. Apart from the terminally ill lead there's not a lot in common so far. Hae In is a lot better than Joon Yeong who was abominable to Noh Eul for the majority of their relationship. The bad times between that couple were a lot more with only a handful of good times, that as we can see is not the case with our Royal Couple Of Tears. I like how we get to see little tidbits from their past, the epilogues are always appreciated. Okay, while I'm not a big fan of Eun Seong, it was easy to see his devastation when Hae In sold him out in front of the people. He did deserved it, after all, who told him to threaten the Queen? He found out that the woman he loves is going to die, so the best he could come up with was threatening her? What an idiot.

Ep 11 & 12: Okay so much happens in this episode. Everyone's reaction was as expected when they found out about Hae In's condition. I'm not a fan of her mom's so what she said still doesn't get her off the hook for me. I'm a bit upset about the amnesia trope, it is one trope that I never want to see again. So damn convenient to use but just doesn't make for a good story. Poor Hae In, the tumor is slowly taking away her abilities to recognize people. The last part of ep 11 was so heartbreaking. Glad, there was an epilogue featuring cute Hyun Woo. Ep 12 was a bit slow. I enjoyed the scenes with the leads and skipped most of the other scenes with Eun Seong and his mother. I didn't much like Soo Cheol in the beginning, but he has grown on me. While he may not seem like smartest of the bunch, he is so damn good to Da Hye and their child.

Ep 13: The part about the Baek asking for snow for rehearsal was a bit confusing why was he so excited? The later excitement I get that he found out about being Hae In's first love. That was great scene. With Eun Seong also living for Germany, it is clear that he plans to take advantage of Hae In's memory loss and might claim that he is her husband or boyfriend. We'll find out tomorrow.

Ep 14: Called it! It was such an obvious route to go with the writing. But you do feel for Eun Seong, despite his character traits, in any other drama he might have been the ML who ends up with the FL. Here, his love is just unrequited. Why does the poor bear, Soo Cheol, keeps suffering. I hope he lives happily and stops with all the blunders.

Ep 15 & 16: I didn't enjoy the final two episodes as much as the rest of the series. To me, it was all a bit over the top, but the with the way the story was set, it was bound to end up like that. I never really hated Eun Seong's character, the same couldn't be said for his mother. I was a bit surprised to hear that Hae In did clue in Baek about her family before they married. (I didn't' like how she treated him in the beginning) But I'm glad that they have rediscovered each other.

Mixed feelings about the ending

The main characters in the present get a happy ending but same cannot be said for the characters in the Joseon. The writer should have put much more thought in the story and also tied the past properly. Too many loose ends.

What about her parents who treated her great? Their daughter just died.

What was the point of saving Tae Ha in the past life, he just dies later on. And during the time he lives he has to be stuck with a wife who's in love with his reincarnation and he is completely clueless about the identity of this guy.

The past Tae Ha should have gotten to live a long healthy life. It felt a lot like present Tae Ha stole Past Tae Ha's love, even though I was rooting for the present Tae Ha and Yun Woo to end up together, I can't help but point this out.

Slow pacing. But the story between the leads keeps things interesting. (New Favorite)

Ep 1 to Ep 6: They ended ep 6 with a cliffhanger. Who exactly is she mad at? Is she mad at the Xin Bai or Jia Ye? They gave us 6 episode in a row and now we'll only get 2 daily. But it was smart of them to do that. People would not have been happy with the first two episodes, it takes time to build up pace & your patience is rewarded. You come to like the characters. Since I like stories with shapeshifters this is my cup of tea. The most idiotic thing so far was the scene when the Nan Xing turns into a guy & acts like a lunatic trying to burrow into everything trying to hide herself. It was like watching a rodent, I kept wondering what they were thinking! But I overlooked that part and decided to continue. So Nan Xing & Xin Bai get married in episode 6 & I guess we'll see their first separation in next episode because he lied to her & she really wasn't keen on getting married.

Ep 7 to Ep 10: I was so over overuse of the trope where the leads knew each other as children, but I don't mind it being used here. Rather than being a cliche, it adds to their fate. When Xin Bai returned home, he was accosted by a older woman, which at first, I thought would be Nan Xing's mother, but it was his mother. So both leads have crazy mothers! Here's to hoping that they have a chance to meet and torture the leads together, that would be fun to watch! Okay we have another crazy woman who just so happens to be Xin Bai's sister, but so far it seems like she isn't the kind of crazy you like. I can't wait for the leads to meet yet again. Woah, they passed each other & Xin Bai facial blindness got in the way of him recognizing her. What's more, when he figured out that she had changed somehow, he still helped her get out without questions. I do wonder what kind of psychic powers she thinks the little guy had. Loved it.

Ep 11 to Ep 16: I think Yan Nan XIng needs to make up with Jiang Xin Bai now. He has made up for his past blunder & even seems to care for her. Finally glad that Tong Sai Er is here. I wondered why she has little to no screen time. In previous episodes, she was last seen dancing and that was about it. She is such a cutie that it gives me hope that Shan Bei Li isn't far gone. I wonder who's her brother though. For a moment there, Xin Bai was jealous of Shan Bei Li & even the guy who Nan Xing is looking for. We got to see some family shenanigans, I knew Xin Bai's mom was this crazy. It is good, she'll be able to handle Nan Xing's condition well & might also help out. Tong Saner & Shan Bei Li together are cuties, him telling her to look for her fiancé so that she doesn't have nowhere to go if Nan Xing business goes wrong due to Bei Li's & Suo Luo's interference. Xin Bai's being pretty gutsy with the request he has made of Nan Xing. Let's see how it goes.

Ep 17 & Ep 24: I did not expect Xin Bai's mother & sister to got to this extent to drive away Yan Nan Xing. What a waste of potential good mother-in-law. Suo Luo is such a brat that doesn't deserve to be in the position she is in. Instead of actually doing something for the people, all she cares about is how she can be better than her brother. A brother who did not even think of her as less than himself. I don't know what both mother & sister can do at this point to redeem themselves as decent human beings. I like the way Nan Xing treated Tong Saner & Liu Ruo Qian, caring for them more than a normal boss would for an employee. Oh that was gold, his mother finding Yan Nan Xing in his closet but out steps a he. She is gonna go crazy. I loved how she just couldn't speak when the guy was mentioned and she decided okay Nan Xing isn't that bad. She is the perfect wife for Xin Bai.

Ep 25 to Ep 34: So we have come to the second wedding and this time around they are more sure about their feelings for each other. Xin Bai at least has figured out that Nan Xing is the girl he met as a child, he should have told her right away. But since he didn't I have a bad feeling. I love Tong Saner, she is kinda insane and I adore her. Her wanting to take Bei Li as sworn brother was so hilarious. I am still not a fan of Suo Luo, she is a liability. So, how come they separate right after their weddings! Jiang Xin Bai has got no chill. He is on a mission and he is gone. To think about it, you can't always take your wife to work so it makes sense that he went away for work. It makes me think that we are going to get news of him dying there. Nan Xing is gonna be so sad about her mother. I wonder what the new guy is up to. He looked like a decent love rival, but he had to go full on crazy! But I have hopes that he will turn into an ally so lets see where it goes. I'm so disappointed in the not-so-friendly bandit. Finally, glad that Nan Xing knows Xin Bai's the one she was looking for so long. I wish we could see more of Nan Xing's transformations, but unfortunately that part of her is underutilized by the drama.

Ep 35 to Ep 40: Dammit, why did Bai Yuan have to come up with such a ridiculous plan and get himself killed! Now, not only does he not have Yan Nan Xing, he is dead. So foolish. He could have led a better life with reforming his people. He put Nan Xing and Xin Bai's family in such a muddle. Xin Bai surely thinks divorce is a game, at the smallest inconvenience he is like Nan Xing let's get a divorce it will protect you! How long has he known Nan Xing? Does he think she is gonna stay in a corner he puts her into? She is gonna run head front in trouble and then he is just gonna have to rescue her. He might as well stick to her like a glue. The story was a bit underwhelming especially with the concept and the characters they had. It had so much potential. I did love the final episode with three lovely brides. The cast is also good, I hope to see the drama in another light if I ever rewatch it again.

Not really a bad remake. I wonder why people are complaining so much. (P.S. I love remakes)

Ep 1 to Ep 5: Before I started watching I went through the comments and most were pretty much bashing the show, the cast, & the story. When I finally got to watching it, I realized that most of them are being too negative. It isn't a bad remake. I can see why the actor who's playing Brandon, he sometimes resembles Park Seo Joon. Its the eyes and side profile. The actor Paulo is doing a good job as Brandon if you watch the drama without comparing. And Kim Chiu is really very pretty, her dimples are just so adorable. Her acting is also good. I like that they speak in English majority of the time, so I focus more on the scenes and people. In Korean version, Secretary Kim is more subtle in showing her emotions whereas here Secretary Kim is too emotional with expressions exaggerated. The one thing that they got wrong is the office space for the staff, it just doesn't go well with the theme of the show. I do like Brandon's throne though. They introduced Morpheus, he is one character that looks very sleezy, he looks like a young John Schneider who got a surfer dude haircut. I am not a fan of the other characters so far but lets see how it develops.

Ep 6 to Ep 10: Even with the 20 mins episodes it drags a bit from time to time. I have to skip a lot of scenes because I'm only interested in what's happening between the leads. A few people in the comments said that the leads lack the chemistry, they must be blind. I see the chemistry. The remake has made a few changes as to when things happens and I like them. I also liked that Brandon chose to participate in the games instead of watching from the sidelines. Still not liking Cyrus's look though, give that guy a surfboard. I'm really not a fan of fusion food. Even other people eating it makes me go why!

Ep 11 to Ep 29: The story progression is fine, the chemistry develops gradually, and you are glad that they get together. However, the decision to hide the past seems to have been made very complicated but it isn't in reality. But that's trauma for you. But the FL already suspects that he is the 'Ninja Boy', so he might as well confide in her.

Loved it! Most of the main cast were terrific!

I started watching the drama after I begun Dashing Youth, so I was looking to seeing the familiar characters and I already found so many. Sadly, Baili Dong Jun's had very little screentime but at least we get to see Sikong Changfeng. I'm sad to see what's happened to Lord Langya and his devotion. I can't believe Yue Yao is dead. Also, we weren't able to find out the identity of Qianlu's mother. It was also tough to see the repercussions of what happens when heroes fail.

Li Hong Yi's Xiao Se looked so much like Cheng Yi. And Cheng Yi happens to be my favorite Chinese actor. Before this I didn't really catch the resemblance between the two, but they could easily pass off for brothers! Xiao Se as a character was pretty good and consistent throughout the drama. He had to rely on people but he still survived. However, I was looking forward to his powers coming back and when they did the fight was kind of underwhelming. Tan Lian's fight to death was way better.

Wu Xin / Ye An Shi was not given enough screentime. When we first met him, he was more powerful and later on it seemed like his powers were muted. He kept getting hurt, was stowed away, or controlled. The story would have also flowed better had they kept him in focus alongside Xiao Se & Lei Wujie. Apart from that, he is such a fun guy to have around and grown to be kind person despite the past sufferings.

Lei Wujie was such a blast. I wasn't sure that he was Lei Mengsha's son's until somone spelled it out, before that I kept thinking why is he so similar to Lei Mengsha! He grew so much as the show progressed. However they tried to keep him weak, because someone was always there to protect him. And while that was good, I wanted to see his true potential unleashed. Ye Ruo Yi's character came late into the picture and seemed a bit like an afterthought. The romance between the two was cute and fun to watch. She liked Lei Wujie from the get go and wasn't shy about showing it.

Lin Bo Yang's Sikong Qian Luo was a okay character. I would have liked her more had she spoken with a little more maturity suitable for a women of her stature. I enjoyed watching her take on seasoned fighters and win when the others couldn't. But she lacked chemistry with Xiao Se. As this drama wasn't romance centric, it needed someone who could have sparks flying even with the little romantic moments they had. But ultimately they grew on me because I wanted to like them together.

I kept expecting a bit more from Baili Dong Jun' disciple but Tang Lian was not in the same weight class as all the others. His best scenes were, the very first scene we see him protecting Wuxin's coffin and then the last one where he finally seemed like the drunken master. I wanted to see more of that characters. Here's to hoping we get to see it in part 2.

We have one of the Sweetest ML with a great character development. (2nd watch)

It is hard not to like Jang Uk. There are so many reasons to like the character, including that he was such a understanding person even to those who hurt him. The creators did a wonderful job picking the cast, especially, Lee Jae Wook who is too damn attractive and charming in all his roles. He was such a green flag in the first season and had great character development throughout it. Even though he started out a bit childish and lazy, he grew into his role and it was just amazing to watch. During my first watch, the story got a bit boring with the other characters but I still completed it. However, during the 2nd watch, I'm focusing on the scenes that include Jang Uk, Mu Deok, & Seo Yul.

Naksu, who soul shifted into Mu Deok's body, sometimes failed to convince that she used to be an Assassin who a lot of people were scared of. While she dropped the ball in some places, there were others that were very convincing. This includes all the crazy ticks she pulled to ensure that Jang Uk grew into his power. (For some reason, this time around, they reminded me of the Sae Roy and Yi-Seo from Itaeon Class, Yi-Seo and Mu Deok's character share similarities in the way they out of their way to ensure that their partners succeed no matter how it happens. Both Jang Uk & Sae Roy had to teach their partners about loyalty & care)

Loved it. The leads are surprisingly gentle and humorous.

The first 7 episodes flew away like a breeze. I do like the dynamics between the 2, but it seems like Shen Li was the only one to catch feelings during Xing Yun while was affectionate didn't seem to be that interested in her. Even when she was gone he lived his life very well, maybe missed her once in a while, but was not deeply moved by her leaving or even the idea of her marrying someone else. Even when he returned to the heavenly realm, he seemed as indifferent so far. Apart from mentioning that Shen Li was interesting he didn't intend to pursue her.

Ep 8 to 16: She finally meets Divine Lord Xing Zi, who denies he knows Xing Yun, hearing which she sheds tears to which the divine lord is unmoved. He then insists on spending time with her. The Poor girl is busy scouting the place while the Divine Lord is taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.

The Divine Lord finally clears up that he didn't intend to spend time with her but it was to clean her miasma that he had to take her along. When she talks about him resembling an old acquaintance. He brushes it off saying its common and that she shouldn't get too attached to things or people. He then follows her to the demon realm and claims he needs to stay for fun and wants to live at her place. He then shows a teeny bit of what you could call jealousy when Shen Li's betrothed shows up. The one that divine lord himself picked.

Gotta love Shen Li, in ep 14, she finally decided to put everything out there and then kindly told him to go fuck himself. What's even wrong with the guy, he can't even sort out his own feelings and continues to mess with her, following her around everywhere just rejecting her left and right and still bombarding her with those mixed signals.

In ep 16, we get too see them work together, Shen Li gets hurts and we actually see Divine lord get mad for the first time. First green signal telling us that he does care for her. It is nice to see him hold her sweetly nursing her back to health.

ep 16 to 39: Wow this was very slow burn, they finally got together in episodes 30-31, when they do get together it is amazing!

What I like the most about this drama is that the leads don't betray each other and are loyal. There are never any misunderstanding or other man or woman they have to pretend to love in order to protect each other. So, i'll be putting this on my rewatch list.

Entertaining Rom-Com with a little bit of mystery and tons of Good Looking People

What a bunch of good looking people in one frame. The story is pretty shaky but it is fun to watch the FL's shenanigans. Someone rightfully said, it is quite similar to the romance of tiger and rose. I started watching this one right after I finished tiger and rose and it gave me the same feel.

So far only seen 20 episodes and all of them were pretty good. The romance is slow burn but when it happens it is very sudden. The ML falls first. The FL is constantly wondering if the ML is going to kill her.

I also like the other couples in the story. Before finishing the drama I wondered how it was going to end, if it was going to have a rushed ending like tiger and rose or more drawn out one like Lost Romance. But in Lost Romance at least the FL & ML knew each other before crashing into novels. In here, the ML is purely fictional so far. So, maybe it might have an open ending like Please Fall into love.

But it was neither, it was more like the ending of the Unique Lady. Screenwriters using this trope need to do better with the endings. Stop with the open endings, there are 36 episodes in total. This needed to be planned better, there were quite a few other arcs that could have been avoided.

One word: Warmth. That's what the drama made me feel. Love it (Second chance romance worth watching)

Jo Yong Pil (ML): The greenest flag of a character I have ever seen. Its impossible not to adore him. The actor does such justice to the character, i wonder if the writer wrote the script with Ji Chang Wook in mind.

Cho Sam Dal (FL): Very straightforward person, doesn't beat around the bush, which comes off as rude. This got her into trouble, leading to her loosing her career in the city. Bang Eun Joo (the villain) was smart to use that flaw in her character to her advantage. What I like about Cho Sam Dal are her faults, she can be pretty clueless at times and also slow to take actions, but despite them all she is a good person.

Sam Dal and Yong Pil complement each other so well. I am glad that Yong Pil got his happy beginning. While Sam Dal is a pretty impressive, Yong Pil steals the show and captures your heart, making you want to root for him. It impossible not to feel loved while watching this drama, that's how warm Yong Pil is. I'm more into enemies to lover tropes then best friend turned lovers, but this couple holds a special place in my heart. It shows us how relationships don't necessarily have to be the constant push-and-pull but can full of love and care.

Breakdown of allegations against Cho Sam Dal:
1. Bang Eun Joo intentionally went out of the way to get with Sam Dal's ex (Cheon Chung Gi ) just to prove that she could have him. (The guys is also utter crap) The only time Sam Dal said something intentionally harsh was when Eun Joo practically gloated to her that she slept with Sam Dal's boyfriend.
2. What Sam Dal said pissed off Eun Joo so much that she fabricated a suicide attempt and then claimed that she was driven to suicide because of Sam Dal bullying. Sam Dal on the other hand was so shocked to hear about the suicide attempt that she practically gaslit herself for a while, which had us all wondering did she really bully that woman?
3. That's not where it ends though, Eun Joo decided to steal Sam Dal's ideas and work as well. What did Sam Dal do when she discovered it, gave it away to the Eun Joo for free and decided to wash her hands of her.

Coming to Cho Sam Dal's family dynamics, watching the three sisters together is very fun. Ha Yool is also so damn adorable.
All the other couples were also pretty decent to watch. It was good to see all of them succeed in their careers.

I'm a bit unsatisfied with the ending because I just want more of the Samdal-ri's crowd, specially Sam Dal's and Yong Pil's relationship.

The interactions between the leads was full of yearning and warmth.

The actors are great at what they do and they did a amazing job this time as well. What I like about this drama is the interactions between the leads, it was so full of yearning for each other, the warmth of them being together made me feel that this will stick with me for a while, leaving good memories of this drama.

Did she cheat? Are there grey areas when it comes to cheating? Emotional cheating is just as bad and I am not someone who cares for it. She should have spoken up before and broken up with him a lot sooner. But at least she didn't drag it far too long.

I do wonder how Gi Seok and her got together. I mean they sure cared for each other in their own way but their relationship seemed a bit cold. I'm glad that Lee Jeong In and Yoo Ji Ho got together and I'm sure that Gi Seok will find someone as well. They are better apart.

Watching Jeong In with Eun U was so heartwarming. The writer has done such a tremendous job pulling all the right heartstrings. Kudos. This is quality drama.

Good enough for one-time watch. It was missing colours.

Like Apes63 said in the comment, it is a CliffsNotes version of the original drama, a small bite that serves just right when you don't have the time to re-watch the lengthier kdrama. It is indeed a bit dull compared to the original and lacks its charm.

I love the korean version, have seen it numerous times. Another thing where this one misses its mark is that Yagi Yusei tries too hard to imitate Ji Chang Wook's mannerism instead of making this role his own. Gotta admit, I do see a little bit of wookie in Yagi Yusei at times.

I am here because it is short and since I have already watched it so far, I might as well finish it. But I expected more.
