I liked it. The ending got me kicking, Gong Yoooooo!!!!
Me too!! I completely sympathize with you. Let me ask, I'm not so sure about here side of the ending. Do you think she left her husband and son? I was not so clear about that. I would really appreciate your interpretation. Thanks.
Even though I am completely against infidelity in any form in real life, I'm all for reading or watching a good argument being made for it in the world of fiction. This show puts up a beautiful, heart wrenching, thoughtful argument. Filled with melancholy, sizzling chemistry, and a feeling of being so wrong it's right; this drama makes me cheer for our two main characters.
I love how this drama has my heart beating out of anxiousness and fear of these two getting caught. It has me grumbling and questioning their gumption--especially Dae Woo's when she has his two women under one roof without fear of being found out. I don't know.
But what I love the most is some of the body language I've noticed from Dae Woo, which I don't know if it's on purpose as part of his character, or Lee Sang Yoon is so into the character that he does it unconsciously. For example, I've notice that after the daughter died he barely looks at his wife in the eyes. I've noticed that he generally is never facing her with his full body. I particularly noticed this on episode 6 when he is confronting her his body is almost sideways. Whereas with Soo Ah he looks at her with his whole body.Even when she is not looking. I loved how in the episode after they put Annie's ashes away and Do Woo drives the wife, he seems calm but he is so mad he drops her off and you can literally see the rift between them in the form of the car, and definitely that little bow he gives her, made me feel that was surely the end for that relationship.
This got long. But I'm addicted to this drama for making me watch with both my heart and brain.
Is it a new trend or is it just me noticing that there are several dramas where the male lead is almost twice as old as the female lead? I find these types of romances harder to suspend belief for. Though contract marriage is one that proved me wrong and made it work.
The reason I mention this for this particular drama is because the age gap, intelligence gap, and ability gap between the two main pairing seems like a chasm unlikely to be bridged. I wonder how they are going to pull off the romance which is supposed to heal him.
I like this show because of the main Doctor, but I really dislike and cannot understand the girl Jin Sung and purpose in the show: Most of the time I'm just thinking, "No Comprendo!"
I actually want to watch this out of curiosity. The posters make it out more cutesy than the actual manga. The manga is also on the racier side. Anyhow, I'm curious to see how they adapt it.
Started watching and like it enough to continue watching, but I can notice the age gap and it takes me out of…
I agree. As you can see in my original post I found the age difference very noticeable at first, but these characters have grown on me and can't wait for the new episode. I'm really enjoying the drama now.
Wow! There's a Japanese version of Mars?! That's one of my favorite mangas. I agree with you about t the Tdrama version, It was excellent. Do you know if there are eng subs for the Japanese one out yet? Thanks for the listing. A lot of these look very interesting and worth taking a look at
Started watching and like it enough to continue watching, but I can notice the age gap and it takes me out of the fantasy. I just can't connect with him looking so old he is/looks and how dependent he is of his dad and family's approval. It must be a cultural thing.
I also feel like there is something missing in the emotional tones, it's like it's good but missing bulls eye by a hair for me. I don't know how to explain it.
Also, I don't like how poorly he treats her. I don't know if it's part of the character, or just my interpretation, but I feel like he seems uncomfortable being that mean, and with the terrible things he keeps spewing at her.
It has so much potential. I will continue to watch and see if it achieves it for me. These are just my observations.
The plot was minimal, the last couple of minutes of it bothered me greatly, but the chemistry between SoJiSub and Shin Min Ah made any all other issues irrelevant. I really enjoyed this one because of them and the adult way their relationship developed.
Me too! I just finished it watching it for the second time, and was also thinking how this was like a harlequin romance novel! Wow! There were several things I did not like in the beginning but a lot of those issues got resolved in the end. thanks for your review.
So far all I can say is: 1)No Coprendo! and 2) I prefer the second leads waaaaaaayyyy more than the first. What is going on? What happened to Sung Jun? He is really getting overshadowed in every way by PHS! will keep watching to see how it unravels.
omg Kim Bum, wow! I don't think I've ever appreciated him at all, until now. With this drama I feel like a mouse facing a cobra. So mesmerizing. My favorite parts are the subtleties of his expressions. Not regularly my type of drama, but Kim Bum.
Also, my very first impression was that all the actors and look of the drama made me feel like I was watching a movie. I liked that.
