Just binged through it fast and it kept getting surprisingly addictive.. Really worth watching if you like some life lessons ,great cast and natural actors. Writing was superb throughout and so was the production quality
Started this after a lot of gaps and now am at ep 7.Must say I didn't expect the show to be this funny and positive from the first few eps. The writer uses her tropes excellently here.Lee sang Yoon and Choi Ji Woo have great camaraderie.While he plays a despicable character,I am really enjoying Choi Won Young here.-I think he is one of the most versatile kdrama actors -esp. In Hello Monster,3 days and the recent Doctor Prisoner.
This was a superb watch and had characters I really liked.Jang Hyeondo played by Lee Sang Yeob is a character that really surprised me with multiple shades.His OTP with Chae Soo Bin was fresh and kept the spirits up. Lee Joon Hyuk had a lead role and brought great dignity to his characters Also ,a great cast of older actors. This is a story which may not end to everyone's liking ,but has a lot of comedy,mushy romance and life lessons on relationships.
Just caught up with it again recently and Ep 11/16 again showed the writer's heart is in the right place esp. The interactions between Ma Dong Chan and his sister,brought a lump to my throat.The fact that he still sees her as his younger sister (while she has aged 20 yrs plus) and pushes her to live a better life,is a message to people who think they have wasted their lives .Professor Hwang also understood from Mi Ran's brother finally what he did created such pressures on the impacted families ! It is such a crazy situation and the show deserves love just for these moments Such moments were much more in "Miracle we met" another drama by the same writer but that does not mean this drama is any less for this. Maybe once the drama is done,it will find fans who may have been too distracted by other dramas in this time!
Am upto Ep 11 /20 and the show keeps giving awesome moments. The Baseball stadium fight and the aftermath were a scream ! I am also liking the exasperated and helpless second ML Kim Ji Suk-he could have been the actual lead in the show - he had his chance but blew it away
Is it true, that this actually has 32 half-hour episodes instead of 16 hour-long ones? I believe SBS sometimes…
Think this only has 32 eps of 30 mins each .While it is a pre produced show, It is possible they are working on extending the show (recently "When the Camellia Blooms " which was originally a 32 eps show had been extended to 40 Eps as it was scoring very well on ratings front )
One of the best made saeguks i had seen.Became extra special as many of the child stars were cast in mature roles. Really liked the work of ALL the leads in this.Beautifully photographed,awesome BGM and one of the best cross dressing plots out there.
This show just keeps growing on me. Kim Ji Suk was also quite good since he came in the picture but basically the show gets superb each time when Kang Ha Neul keeps pursuing Gong Hyo Jin in face of very stiff opposition from friends,acquaintances,parents and even herself ! It has been a long time since I have seen such a positive male lead in Kdramas -Ep 6/20 interactions between the leads were heartbreakingly good! Great that Netlfix is showing this internationally -is a joy to see it on Netflix.
Just started this (am upto 4/40) and found this immensely enjoyable. Kang Ha Neul is what makes this drama stand out for me Also,its beautifully shot and has a great OST
