This show is just the best. So funny and endearing. I really like every character in it, though probs army dude needs to reel it in. He's bordering on biplolar, I mean the manic phase. lol. It's so refreshing to see the main FL as a real flawed person, although of course still so cute and adorable. The ML responses are classic, very funny. He's stunningly handsome. Anyone who loves light comedy, superbly written romcom should watch this.
I think I'm feeling a bit different about this drama to lots of others. I am just loving every minute, I'm usually so critical but I like all the characters without exception, I love the way it's filmed, it has a bit of a Harry/Sally vibe. I'm really believing the characters, I think Yoo In Na's very, real emotional next to Yoon Hyun Min more contained, rational but also emotional responses are perfect. I think the comedy is hilarious, the banter between HSJ and LSU reminds me of the best Billy Crystal kind of interchanges. Of course they don't seem to do anything in the office, but argue and gossip but that's the vehicle to drive this plot, and it's so funny to me. If you've ever been through this type of break up, for sure you would relate. Snotty nosed crying, depression, desperation, on top of that she's lost her reputation and identity. I feel like as the drama progresses we are really understanding how much this relationship meant to her. It's a great learning arc, probably for both the leads actually LSU is actually very kind but out of touch with himself, arrogant and indifferent on the surface. The scene with YJW hiring his army buddy...too gorgeous, and it gets you hoping Bora's sister will get into a great relationship with that cutie YJH. Same with Uri and her silly boss, quite adorable. I think the intensity of Bora's response is really believable, the loss of a big love is almost like a death for some people, it's catastrophic on many levels. For me, I'm really impressed by her acting, often in Kdramas I feel like the over the top hysterical crying and moaning, is not believable but becomes kind of trope like. I usually FF actually, in this one I'm really suspending disbelief and involved. I also find myself hoping that her Bestie and her husband will find a way to ignite some romance back into their marriage. I really like both of them. Anyway that's my take! :)
So funny!! Loved the elevator scene, where her uber handsome doctor Roy is so gallant. She's great, so resilient, not cold and bitchy. The drinks "he's dead" scene was very funny.
To those who want the EX to just go away. I don't know how ENA markets their drama but:1) They spent money on…
It's seriously weird how people react to the character as if he/she is real. If the actor is doing a good job, and the writer is good its a device to get the show/plot moving. Though maybe it's a good sign that viewers are so involved, meaning that they are relating very deeply to events etc.
I want this show to get a better rating. It's great to finally get a great romcom that is so well written, great acting, very moving, a bit less cliched and great scope for characters to make mistakes and evolve. A while ago there was stuff like Another Ms Oh, sometimes cringy, but you were so engaged every second, you didn't just sit back or kill time, you were deeply involved and relating, but also entertained and laughing. Hope it keeps on like this.
I'm really enjoying this show. I thought Yoo In Na summing up ML during Karaoke was too hilarious. Also loved, Love to Hate You, Loving the return of the good romcom.
imo, ml's problem is not that he is being cold, it is that he is bad in communication and has a different approach…
Your reaction probably means the writers are doing a good job, you are supposed to think ML is a jerk, so the enemies to romance thing is much more exciting. Of course he will evolve into a great, decent guy. Hint...he's the only one who sang a deep and meaningful love song.
When will you fucking drop this. He served time in prison and was found not guilty. He had sex with a 18 year…
So agree!!! I have thinking exactly the same. He has been called sexual predator, rapist, when his "crime" was sex with a minor of 18., and he did his due diligence in the legal system as a result. I'm assuming that the amazing cast of actors, and directors etc who have agreed to be in various dramas with him - Why Her, Hyena, World of the Married etc etc have moved on, maybe everyone else can as well. And I also hope for the same for Yoo Ah In, and all the disgusting judgement around these accusations of drug abuse, when no one really knows what went on.
Definitely enjoying this series, however one small thing, SWJ has had the same facial expression (a face frozen in misery) in every ep. thus far! Even Song Hye Kyo smiled and even laughed a few times in Glory, and her situation was extremely tough. I think a character in a drama should be a bit multi faceted with different personality dimensions especially across 16 eps.
The entire thing is she never had time for herself. She is shown to be tomboyish from the start. Her not being…
Yes totally, also her look was in direct contrast to the other wealthy very stylish mothers, trying to show how humble , self deprecating and wonderful she was, overdone!! It will be really interesting to see her in Kill Bok soon!

Agree, the worst old ahjumma clothes combo possible. That fringe??? I also was waiting for some kind of makeover, she looked much better at the end as a student with normal stuff on. The other "look" made her appear to be CCY's auntie lol! She's actually a really beautiful woman irl.
I love Nam Haeng Seon. But don’t understand her wardrobe coordinator’s choice of fugly colour and pattern…
Jeon Do Yeon is such a fantastic actress. She's won heaps of awards, some at Cannes Festival. She's amazingly versatile, I've seen her as a gorgeous sexy woman in some roles, she is really beautiful. In this role she's more a kind, modest, quite conservative person, dressed to suit the role with the fringe etc. She's doing an amazing job as that character imo. Very frumpy and awkward as you say. Watch A Man and a Woman with Gong Yoo she's just stunning.
Throwing in my 2 cents...I think Jang Seung Jo is a fantastic actor. I feel like the leads did a great job with maybe not such great material. Personally I thought the leads had a great relationship, despite all their difficulties, and I felt they really loved and cared for each other, based on what was presented in the drama. IRL i've seen people weather much worse than that and stay together. I think they had enough in their relationship to be together and resolve their stuff, maybe he could have gotten over his sister thing, and eventually they could have had kids together. I found the ending really abrupt, and weird, and actually sad, and very unresolved. I thought they were a super cute, adorable couple. Apparently the writers didn't. lol
