I love this part of the synopsis: "They exchange messages without knowing each other’s faces, and are drawn to each other before they realise it."
I feel like we should add to the end: "Also, they just so happen to be incredibly attractive! What a happy coincidence for them both!"
So, I ended up giving this an 8/10. It was a 9 for the first half, but the second half pacing is really bad and…
Uh.... well, I haven't seen TMTETS, but I can tell you that both Tree With Deep Roots and The Princess' Man are full of "evil plotting at court", for sure. Tons of it. Constantly. *laughs*
TWDR is not nearly as bad as Princess' Man in that regard, but it has next to no romance and is also sadder than TPM. TPM has pretty darn good romance, but is definitely very melo and horrible and full of evilness.
So I don't know if I can recommend either of them. :P
So, I'm up to Episode 7 and this drama is freakin' hilarious. Why didn't anyone tell me how funny this show is?
For real. I'm on 15 and not tired of it at all. It's just so fun and funny. But I have to admit that I can see why people are complaining about how awful and scheming a lot of the characters are. Sometimes it feels like the whole world outside of Daniel Choi's character just hates Lee So Young and wants to ruin her life and nobody does anything about it.
But overall, Jang Na Ra has made me care SO MUCH about her character that I just hang on every episode waiting for anything good to happen. :D
Finished this last week, gave it an 8.5/10. A super-fun thriller that had me on the edge of my seat. Although its Japanese origins made some of the clichés/twists insanely stale, it was still all done so well. And that cast! So impressed by all of them, but especially Shin Sung Rok and Lee El.

Just finished this last night, gave it a 9/10, and my full review is up. This show did almost everything perfectly and was probably the second most FUN kdrama I've ever seen. As many others have said, this whole show is just like a 16 hour smile for the audience. Of course, though, there are some unavoidable tears, as well. Man, when Shin Min Ah cries, it's just too much. Just too much...
Just finished and i'll i gotta say is i don't think i smiled so much for any kdrama romcom.. i was grinning like…
I, too, grinned constantly for the entire run of the show. And while I agree that the show COULD have ended at 14, the last two episodes were absolutely necessary. Just because so many other dramas end abruptly at the romantic climax doesn't mean we viewers should just accept that. Extra episodes to say goodbye to the characters and world are so critical to achieving catharsis, I insist that all future dramas devote at least one episode to resolution!
i enjoyed this a lot with all the weird drama moments lolol the main male lead did excellent job portraying a…
Hate to say it, but the dude was selfish the whole time. I enjoyed his playfulness, too, but you can see from the very beginning that he hates responsibility and only does anything if he thinks he can get something he wants from it. So... yeah, everything he did was very in keeping with his caracter as established form the beginning.
I liked him for a bit, too, because I enjoyed how he could make Ae Ra smile and laugh, but that was very temporary and he caused her more harm than he ever did joy.
Not only that, but Ae Ra is happy working there, even if her intention in getting the job wasn't to work. But Seung Hyeon straight up tries to get her fired from the job. A job she loves and worked really hard to get. The best job she ever had. Yeah. That's messed up. The kid's a spoiled brat and a sociopath who only cares about himself.
Of course, I saw this show quite a long time ago, so maybe my memory of it is a bit foggy.

Whatever, I'll still watch it. :P
