You have some serious issues, man. Good luck with your bigotry, I hope you can fix that some day.

But she waited a long time and wrote him a ton of letters. She looked for him, waited to hear anything, but got nothing. And everyone in her life told her to move on. So she tried it, but when he came back, her feelings were still there (even if she became too self-absorbed to act on them appropriately).

I agree that this drama isn't written very well, but really, she didn't do anything all that horrible just by dating another guy. You're kinda coming off as an angry misogynist projecting your own experiences onto a harmless work of fiction.

Uh... you seem to have misunderstood something important: Dong Joo completely left Soo Wan behind without saying anything. From her perspective, he just disappeared out of her life without notice and with no further contact at all. Why, exactly, should a woman wait her whole life for a guy who completely abandoned her?

They don't emphasize it enough, but they mention early on that the Prime Minister (or whatever) needs heart surgery and the North Koreans want Park Hoon to do the surgery because they believe they can manipulate him into killing the Prime Minister on the operating table. At least, that's what the audience is led to believe.

My wife was really confused about it too, for most of the show.

True, that was frustrating. They have a cute moment or two ("You want to see whats under this t-shirt? *wink*") but he's mostly unfeeling toward her. I'm a pushover, so there's no way I could be that brusque toward someone that adorable.

That is some hardcore dedication, man...

I really disagree with your opinion (still), but if Jang Hyuk really did scream "I am Ddol Bok!" in every drama he was in, that would hilarious and awesome and I would like him even more.

What is the deal with Kim Hyun-soo and Jo Hee Bong being in all the same dramas? They're both in this, they were both in Tree With Deep Roots, and they were both in Good Doctor. Are they related or something?
Also, is Kim Hyun-soo the only teenage girl in Korea who can act? Don't get me wrong, she's talented and adorable, but it's weird that she gets cast as every teenage girl ever.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to ignore all this hyperbole here in the comments. It's like "These people can't all be crazy, can they?" :P
Still, I may give this another shot, but it's going to stay at the bottom of the list for now.

I tend to "root for the underdog" a lot, so I understand second lead syndrome. However, Lee Gun was way too amazing for me to feel it here at all. In fact, I hated Daniel the entire time for no other reason than his very sincere and sweet love for Mi Young. Although he was a very good guy, I just loved the Gun/Mi Young pairing too much.

First two episodes are good. After that... your mileage may vary.

I give up: I'm kidding. I was making playful jokes to express in an unorthodox way how much I enjoyed this drama. That's all.

Yes, you're definitely right. However, there is one exception: if someone's opinion is that this drama is "not their cup of tea", then their opinion is wrong and they are probably a murderer or something. It's one of those weird exceptions that proves the rule.

I agree with you except where a person's opinion leads them to dislike this drama. In that one instance, an opinion can be wrong and can actually turn an otherwise good and decent person into a horrible, evil monster. Glad that won't happen to you.

Well said! This is one of only two dramas I have given the Perfect 10 rating to, so I agree with you all the way around.
One of the good things about being new to drama: "clichés" don't bother me! And especially if they're as well-executed as they are here.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anything in any television show ever that was as touching and sweet as Lee Gun pretending to be a female fan of Mi Young's art and talking through her thoughts/problems/feelings with her. Those scenes are the best scenes I have seen in any drama.

I see you are nearing the end. Any complaints? ;)

You are clearly a person of exceptional intelligence and refined taste.

I've never seen Miss Gu in anything else, but I didn't really have an issue with her acting here. I even liked some of it. What I didn't like was the way she was written towards the latter third of the show.

LOL!
I kinda liked it when he would randomly say stuff in English, though. It was always comical, hearing a random "Oh my god!" or somesuch thrown in among the Korean dialogue. He was obviously coached well on how to sound "natural", but... of course no actor is going to sound like a native English speaker (like Teddy was supposed to be).

Never cared about Jeremy's feelings the entire time until the scene where he sang "A Really Good Word" while crying. Best acting in the entirety of the show. I went from not caring to crying in the span of 60 seconds.
