That's right, I watched Abyss with some expectations and I dropped it half way through, then I went back to it and liked it, finished it and gave it a good number of stars. All fantasy dramas are a bit of a hit and miss.

It's up to you but I find it quite 'heavy' emotionally, two episodes per week is plenty for me. 'You Are My Spring' is an example of drama where it should be all watched in ...one day. :)

It's dealing with some aspects of the female psychology more than telling a story as such. Try it again from where you left it, it's an original concept.

LOL...you mean like in The Eternal Love, The Eternal Love 2, The Eternal Love 3...etc. At least they kept the main actors :) The OST is great, as well, they can make as many sequels as they want but there was no steam left in the 3rd one.

Nicely put together, I particularly like the design of the page but of course, the content is super as well.
I came across this drama while surfing on Viki and the pull of the two main actors was too much to resist. So far it has everything I need to enjoy it, I have no doubt it will carry on being great up to the end and that's because Korean historical dramas tend to be done to perfection even if they don't meet every single viewer's expectations.

Bad reviews and unpopular dramas attract me like a magnet - those are the one which make me curious. As for the popular ones, I sometimes find a real gem among them but most of the time they are a total disappointment.
Taiwanese drama : Someday or One Day - that's one of the gems I discovered.

wa

I absolutely love you for saying that : Someday or One Day being a frickin' masterpiece !

I read about it on Reddit and I watched it just a couple of weeks ago, I'll watch it again in about a year or so, is just like a good book you don't want to part with as you know you need to hold it close to your heart.

I tried to do that, follow or unfollow certain writers because I either liked them too much or not at all but it didn't work as my preference for dramas seems to be driven by my moods rather than anything else on the moment. I'll give you an example: sometimes I keep watching a boring drama because I'm overstressed from information overload and it allows my mind to wander without scope, other times I need the exact opposite genre and that's how some dramas I would not normally consider, get 'lucky' with me watching them. I even have a genre that I call - the one I can watch while peeling vegetables - see, they are all useful in their own way no matter how badly written. Lol....

I was lucky enough to have watched One Spring
Night before
Something in the Rain, U understand your reluctance BUT they corrected all their mistakes in One Spring Night, it was so pleasant to watch, I was shocked when I followed them in Something in the Rain. I'm not recommending it to you, just try the first episode and see how it feels - completely different from the other one. Make it late at nigh with a glass of wine next to you or a mug of hot tea.

Do you need to ask ! I re-watched both seasons as soon as I finished the drama - can't wait !

I'm watching the Chinese version choosing the good highlights - I believe I'll finish it by tea time. :)

I spent two hours going through the first five episodes then I used ffw button so much, although I've finished the drama, I'm not sure if I'm entitled to say I watched it all as it would be a lie. Awful drama, waste of time.

"Best friends betraying best friends is wrong" - I subscribe to this, romantic relationships come and go, best friends are for life, you should never do anything to jeopardise this kind of relationship.

I've been watching k-dramas for less than two years now and I no longer 'suffer' when some of them disappoint me, I'm simply a wizz when it comes to use the fast forward button. I must have spent about two hours going through the first five episodes of this drama - the number of idiotic moments have tried my patience to the max. I'm on episode 14 and I will definitely finish watching it but I'm not sure if I'll include it on my Watched List because of its poor quality.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review - I don't know when you watched it, it's still THE ONLY ONE REVIEW! Ha ha ha...
I've just finished watching that funny film, Baby & I and YouTube started this one automatically - as it does - and I was wondering if I should spend time on it. If you say it's worth, then I'll watch it.

I agree but you stopped exactly where the mysteries are starting to unfold. I felt the same as you but starting with episode 7, everything becomes more and more dramatic leading towards the climax in the last two episodes. The timeline didn't make sense to me so I ignored it and concentrated instead on their feelings and the way they dealt with problems. The end was perfect.

Cringeworthy, I agree, but I put up with it because
otherwise it's tastefully done.

Same here, I've just finished watching Full House again because I like his interaction with the girl.
When I finished, I watched I Need Romance with #7-New - he's very sweet and had all the right expressions at the right time. I liked that drama, it was very well done.

Thank you for mentioning the other two, I've just finished the Thai version of it and was wondering if it's worth making a start on the Korean ones.

Well said, a happy ending doesn't necessarily involve the main leads being together, being happy might involve a permanent break
up. Please, do start watching it, it's mesmerising. This has become my weekly treat.
