Intriguing drama, the end of ep1 was really tense in a good way. I think Phillip Yoo character and Yoo So Ran are fantastic, and I'm dying to find out what happens. For me KYJ is a bit overly theatrical, and borderline comedic which detracts from the obvious plot, and considering her circumstances, she's a bit lightweight for me. Also how did she know where the different rooms were, ie the bathroom, when she had never been in this huge house before. Don't know how Park Jin Young will pan out, he could be great depending on how his character evolves. The beginning reminded me of Oliver Twist, where all the kid beggars are under the rule of The Artful Dodger.

thanks, interesting.

Actually I have read some comments on different Cdramas and Jdramas that have been so respectful and interesting and funny, somehow mainly kdrama seems to attract really intense reactions, I think if people seriously hate the drama, or others opinions just respectfully comment and drop it.

Have to agree.

I think when Wei Da Xun hits the screen he energises this drama, the FL lead is cute and a good actress but I think he is what makes this drama have punch. I had a look at a couple of his other ones, Guilty, and Later, I laughed, both really good. He's a great actor, great presence.

I can't wait till he finds out who she really is!

Agree, and cinematography is particularly spectacular which highlights the narrative amazingly. What is compelling about the performances is the lack of artifice, or self-consciousness that are part of many current dramas where the major focus is looking physically perfect.

He's pretty smooth. He must know he's stunning, when he passes by any mirror!

Was about to ask the same thing lol

Have to agree, he was excellent in A Moment But Forever. Initially the ultimate stoic, untouchable, godlike figure, and that monologue was outstanding, as was the entire concept of the drama.

Same!

Yes I saw him in an interview he's very cool. He was saying he didn't consider himself that good looking, and doesn't play off this aspect of himself. Agree his charm does make him more adorable.

Agree, and this drama is so compelling and well acted that you just watch as the story slowly unfolds without ever getting bored. Both leads are fantastic as is the rest of the cast, but I honestly think LXY is a phenomenal actor, he manages to convey so many responses with minimal facial expressions, he's incredibly handsome but doesn't really use this as part of the character, he really commits to his character even if silly or humiliated, etc.

The Italian fashionista, with the bald head looks and dresses a lot like Andrew Tate lol!

Wow everyone in the company is so wired and stressed, they are all so immaculately dressed, the hair and makeup is perfect, in fact the make up is soooo thick LJH looks like a character out of a Kabuki theatre. I feel the characters are very proper and one dimensional, I think I preferred LJH in The Art of Sarah, he was more of a developed multi dimensional person. Otherwise it's a copy/paste not bad drama, I think it's a shame that nothing more interesting has evolved out of the Lottery win,

Totally agree.

Yes, unfortunately I agree. The cast/acting is excellent, etc etc but somehow I'm not hooked. I was really expecting something amazing, having watched S1.

He is beyond impressive. No point going over what he has had to face, everyone knows it. I just wish him every success possible, in his career, his health, his happiness. I hope all his family, friends and colleagues support him through, and all his millions of fans.

Unlike most people I'm finding the Mitsuru disappearance thing interesting. I can see it really was beyond devastating and cruel for Sakiko, but I'm dying to find out what happened and I'm totally fascinated how the characters are able to both absorb the sadness, be furious, stay sane and civil, be curious, and angry all at once. This drama is so well written and the acting is phenomenal. It's such a unique story, and the take on this situation is really unusual. I love how kind Itsuki is to his gorgeous son, and also to Sakikoi. The main leads are funny, and courageous, but pace themselves so well in terms of the other person. At this point I have theories about how things will pan out but it's not that certain. This is currently one of the best dramas I'm watching atm, probably along with The Affair was only the Beginning. lol

There seem to be a lot of filler eps, like some couples from previous years, and some recaps, some where the participants are already looking back at eps and commenting. It's hardly started, and there are not many firmly established couples yet, I don't really get it.
