In episode 13 when Yoon Young is walking to the hospital Her hair is covering both ears, then next to Her mother's bed left ear covered, next shot right ear covered in ten (10) seconds. Where's the continuity? This is just the wrong hairstyle for close ups. I was counting but ran out of fingers and toes. Overall Perfect Strangers is still a 9 for me because the show is so krazy that it COULD have a lot of plot holes but it doesn't. In the sequel, have someone come back in time to help them. Upgrade the time machine to a Corvette.
Right now I feel like I'm cheating on Elane but Zhou is so Fine, too! Lawd have mercy. I give it a "10". That's two 10's back to back. It's a 1.5 day stream if you zip past the 1:30 at the beginning and the 2:30 at the end ... but ... Some of the episodes are so good you just let it go.
Watched it on Netflix. Started at 8am, ended about 8 pm. Great telework watch. Didn't change the channel, drink, or call my Boo. The age difference was about 20 years but they kept it at crush level so it was tolerable. I'm giving it an "8". Can a drama be a Romance if they only get half way to first base?
I'm in Episode 2 and Attorney Woo was came to life in "Belle Epoque" by Park Eun Bin. The woman who came late to the restuarant that sat down and ordered "Fish cake soup, stir fried bean sprouts .....", That was Woo Young Woo. My Crush.
My Dearest ... 10+ ... With this and Rising wrapping on the same morning I am emotionally drained, tear ducts overworked, need a nap. Had to give this drama a Standing "O". Well done.
Elaine Zhong is my current weakness. Watching Ms. Zhong in Rising With the Wind and The Furthest Distance, an actor I have never watched in two great shows I have not seen at the same time is a first for me. Two completely different roles and relationships. Going back and forth the past few weeks has been different and fun. She is a brilliant actor and So Fine! Sorry. Not Sorry. I recommend both shows ... simultaneously! Maybe watch 3 or 4 episodes and switch.
I'm in Episode 3 when the ML is revealed to the FL and i'm just realizing that in all these years, My Secret Romance is the 1st K Rom Com I have ever rewatched. It's as good to me as the first time around. Maybe better. Look at it another way. My Secret Romance -Ratings: 7.6/10 from 45,147 users, # Watchers: 82,609 Reviews: 109 users ; Nirvana in Fire - Ratings: 9.1/10 from 8,937 users, # of Watchers: 28,523 Reviews: 153 users When I select by # that voted and # that watched, the experience is ALWAYS better. Other than "The Wizard of Oz", which doesn't count just because, the only show / movie I've ever rewatched was "The Count of Monte Cristo" which is rated 7.7 on IMDB with 145,000 rating it and 110,000 put it on their Watch Lists. How do you pick the Keepers?
