I am really looking forward to it - I hope they keep her clever nature as in the novel.

I watched this for a drama watching challenge and it made me feel very sad for Oh Ha Ni. I totally understand the plot and the background of all the various versions of PK but rewatching these little snippets really showed how cool Baek Seung Jo was to Oh Ha Ni. The care and friendships from all the side character from Mama-in-law to her school friends was what rained down on Ha Ni and made her grow emotionally - not the stunted mushroom love of Baek Seung Jo. There is tsundere and there is bland and he is bland.

A short dive into the U-Prince world. If you toned it down by 2/3, it would actually be a very understandable drama. Almost every character has a shade of someone you might have gone to school with - except the very random second lead girl who is trying to be the FL. She is basically a psychopath. Teddy was very yummy!

Where did you find this to watch?

I've been having a hard time with overbearing leads who think that only by treating someone (that they ostensibly love) poorly, they are showing their real self. Yes, indeed, their real mean self. Came for Ming Ren and then immediately left.

I'm still watching this but my rating is dropping each episode I watch. This drama is trying to be a lightweight rom-com with a heartfelt romance at the core but instead it's starting to resemble one of those shadow puppet stories. You see the general outline but no real motivations or even basic reasoning. The heroine is supposedly so sly and such a good artist but - nah, she barely disguises herself as a man, the mansion must not bother with guards or the "fake" books look just like the "real". I guess I'm hanging on to see who the secondary characters end up with and which ones die. Le sigh.

Hmm. Parts of this are lovely (music, directing, side characters.) but darn, ten years of waiting? Not my idea of a good idea.

Parts of this drama (the real life portion, at least) are wonderful and Marcus Chang does an excellent version of playing both of the heroes. The female lead, Ah, she’s still pretty silly.

Very lightweight but charming. Pretty heavy on product placement (and non-placement. Every sweatsuit the lead wears has a piece of tape over the logo!) and heavy on idol cameos. I enjoyed it - it made me laugh.

This is quite funny and very light - I like seeing the portions where characters are actually working.

Very lightweight but cute. The guy's posse of friends was especially funny.

Having finished this, I now understand.

An odd and possibly flawed drama abut four adults growing emotionally together. We learned about how they are but not how are they changing. That would make this a more satisfying drama. It was intriguing, though, to see all the emotional workarounds they made to get through their lives.

I read in a comment below that it's best to view this as a stage play. Yeah, the deep comments were straight out of a play but the storyline, well, it's something else. Lovely photography, though! Gave me something to watch while doing some mending . . .

So far, the story is fairly lightweight but cute (ep.8). I’m also really enjoying the variety of character actors being used. Big group scenes as well as household servants - they’re filled with very different looking actors instead of the typical generic “maids”, “soldiers”, “eunuchs.“

What a flashback!

I followed the link provided below - no subtitles, though!

You know you're a sucker for an author/screenwriter when you've seen almost every one of their works.

Kind of slow in places. In fact, I think they needed to skip the whole "nightmare wedding" - it's obviously there to fill out space. Other than Leo Luo, the evil crown prince (Hans Cui as Mu Su Yu) also did a good job!

Yes? They separate but get back together at the end. No time frame mentioned - but it is very emotional.
