No but they purchased the broadcast or distribution rights and gave it an audience. We wouldn't get many more shows if the production companies couldn't get a return on their investment.
I think this one might be doing well since the actors recorded that "Thank you" video that was posted this week.
I'm 10 episodes in and enjoying it the whole way. All these terrible reviews on here make me doubt my sanity, though. I like both male leads and at this point wouldn't mind if either one of them ends up with the girl (although I'm already certain which one eventually does.)
I gave the series a high rating because of the historical story handled so well, and the leads, whose love story…
Your perspective is interesting. By Episode 10 I was pretty much done with Kang Doo's sulking and the way he treated Moon Soo. I also didn't like how she just kept coming back for more, like a character from a 1950's movie where the woman always stands by her man no matter what. I haven't gotten to the part where she just stands there after he kisses her, but given how cold he was to her for two or three episodes maybe she was just feeling a little bit skeptical.
I can't stand when a drama resorts to "I've decided I'm not good enough for you so I'm going to drive you away by treating you like shit." And it's no better when the other person just takes the abuse and keeps coming back for more, "in the name of love" of course. Everybody seems to worship the Kang Doo character but I think he's way too into his own melodrama to deserve Moon Soo, who (by the way) suffered in the same accident as he did, but in a different way. Get over yourself, buddy.
So there's a nice twin and an evil twin. The nice twin looks to be the conscience of that mob of misfits and clearly has sympathy for YXG. I'm curious to see if anything interesting comes of that. :)
Haha - I had a feeling that Yu Xi Gu's new job would be at a gay club, and I figured that Xiang Hao Ting would…
... although as I've watched it a couple of times, in addition to feeling excited I felt some worry and sadness as well. There's a definite hint that the story might take a tragic turn.
Just watched first episode and it seems quite uneven. I'm having a hard time believing Yu Xi Gu is at all attractive…
I agree that the notion that he's super attractive is played up too much in the first episode. When the script has so many characters referring to something like that, there should be little question on the part of the audience or it will backfire. Plus I don't think it's even necessary for him to be a gorgeous-looking guy for the story to work.
DBK isn't that mature. The conflict between Pete&Kao is extremely childish and forced. Tharntype is ... ugh. Whatever.…
I think it's more than a third wheel situation - it's more like a romantic rivalry. The question for me is whether the rival is sincere or just trying to get on Pete's nerves.

Haha - I had a feeling that Yu Xi Gu's new job would be at a gay club, and I figured that Xiang Hao Ting would somehow see him there. Looks like things really get rolling next week!
Two unforgettable scenes are when Golf realizes it's Bank's birthday (as well as the anniversary of Bank's father's death) and goes to find him, and when Golf completely loses it over Tom's interest in Bank, and Bank texts him, and Golf rushes to find him. Everything about these scenes - the setting, the acting, and the music - is perfect.
"Thank you for loving someone as awful as me." Oh how that line always moves me so much.

Great song soundtrack.
