I'm just two episodes in and this is the third K-drama I've watched with a character named Soo-ah who is the evil princess (or in this case seems destined to be the evil princess.)

Does "Soo-ah" happen to mean something bad in Korean?

Your comments on this series are so insightful. I wonder if you'd consider bringing them together for an article that's posted on this site. I just finished watching SoOD last night and this comment as well as another one of yours farther down the board have already made me want to watch it again, just so I can notice the things you talk about.

I especially love your thoughts on the hero's journey -- one of the great foundations of storytelling, and probably one of the reasons why this drama has touched us so deeply.

Even if you don't write an article, thank you for what you've given us here!

What I liked in this scene was how LZW's face took on this knowing/expectant expression when he opened his eyes and saw that MJJ had turned off the lights. It was like he knew he was about to see HYX and you could sense happiness that was surging inside him.

I wonder, though, are we supposed to think that this is the *first* time they're meeting in this new timeline (aside from when HYX was a young girl)? To have it be in this setting wouldn't make much sense especially in light of how well thought out the rest of the series was.

You make some excellent points. The more distance I have from the series the more I see its flaws. And the level of adulation for Mew and Gulf online has started to look a little absurd. I've unfollowed a lot of accounts on twitter recently lol.

Nicely put.

Wow .. reading that gave me goosebumps. I can't wait to finish the series and watch that epilogue!

I’m entitled to an opinion just like you. No need to attack me.

It's just more brilliant each week.

I believe that an early draft of the script probably took the relationship aspect a lot farther. I've noticed that Bank tends to play characters who are pursued by other guys but who never end up consummating anything, so I wonder if his participation required that the script for Spike be toned down.

I really like the side story for Xuan DaYu. He's handsome and wealthy but has such a chip on his shoulder due to his unrequited feelings for Xia Yao, so it's touching to watch him slowly open up to what has to be one of the most unlikely pairings in BL. (And yes, this is a BL drama. For me the subtext is part of the fun, and I'm grateful that they did as much as they could to push the limits of Chinese censorship.)

Why don't the bio pages let us upload pics? :(

This guy - so beautiful and so humble. He deserves only the greatest success.

She deserves another lead role. She proved in Hormones that she's a fantastic actress, and her role in "Kiss Me Again" made poor use of her talents.

THIS! Me too! Zee is sex on legs.

We shouldn't begrudge anyone the joys of what truly matters in life.

There's no way any man could be better looking than this guy.

Make Our Days Count

I'm about halfway into this and have to say that I'm just so charmed by the FL.

They had a tough job to do after all the build-up over the first 11 episodes but this one delivered so beautifully! At some points I was breathless!

The chemistry between Saint and Zee is off the charts. Saifah and Zon aren't far behind. After the letdown of MODC and the intensity of TTTS I'm glad to welcome a lighthearted series that will keep me excited for the next three months.
