Haha. I went to Pizza Express but ordered pasta :P hahaha
Exactly! If you love your makjang, this drama will be puuurrrfect for you. For me, I was frustrated, irritated, scoffing, rolling my eyes - but never ever bored. Every 1/2 hour ends in a cliffhanger, remember, so they know what they're doing^^ (Even though they keep faking us out sometimes.) Seriously. If you like makjang - I recommend it!

Okaaay...I probably won't have the patience then for 'the Devil'. I'm looking forward to Hwang Jung Eum's drama next month. I think it will be in direct competition with Ji Sung's (which hasn't started of well, apparently...) Gonna watch either of them?

Sorry for the late reply! I got your notification just as I was heading out to Pizza Express :P No...I stopped watching GMB after ep 4. I keep visiting the page, and everyone says it's boring :O Heaven's Promise? This drama would be hard to marathon. Too many illogical scenes and characters, and they drag some stuff out. Since I was there from the beginning, I find it addictive still, coz I'm watching 1/2 hour each day and find most of it funny. Don't think I will be rating it higher than 7.5 though -.-

You still haven't told me if the Devil turned out to be good or not!

Fantastic review. I always see it as a sign from the Gods, when I put a drama on my PTW list, and then someone reviews it days after. I will definitely watch it now!

YES!! The bond between ajussi and daughter is quite beautiful. They both have thrown themselves headlong into that relationship, fully invested, and is a release to all the repression both he and Hye Soo feel. But my! When they stop feeling repressed....fireworks in the bedroom..lalalala

Whoops, I've mixed the two of them up. It's not Seo Jinnie calling them, but Ji Hoon :P

hahaha, true xD
He spams Hye Soo a lot, but I think she called him back...once? The other time, was when she collapsed, and the kid panic-called. hahaha. Poor Seo Jinnie.

When anyone calls...I swear it's the same, and he doesn't change it for specific people? :O

I think some people dropped the drama because they're afraid of a sad ending :P They must be emotionally vulnerable, which is quite sweet when you think about it =.=

Haven't rewatched it, but apparently there was a lot of hand movement going on under Uee's blazer :P I mean Lee Seo Jin's hands...yeah :P

What did you think about the KISS?

<I can't believe your watching this>

Me neither! I don't like dramas that make me sad. I'm an emotionally distant creature, that is super cynical and don't like to be manipulated into feeling a certain way. Remember 1 liter of tears? That was based on a true story, but they made that romance up - and whilst I was watching the fabricated romance, I was feeling sad, so I used the fact the romance was fabricated to stop watching :P (But in reality...I was just feeling sad.)

It's the acting that's making me stick to this like glue. The quiet moments, like Uee cutting off her hair and removing her make-up. Also all motherxdaughter interactions are gold. I shed a couple tears in ep 11. None before or after that. warrior...haha...warriors can have sniffles, right? What about you? Ice maiden or damsel in distress?

<You have literally joined at the perfect time>

Teaser for ep 15:

Looks like this will remain a gem to the end. It's episode 16 I'm worried about.....ah....they could make or break a lot of hearts here. I was crying during ep 11, but not since then. Will 16 just tip me over the edge?

chiiiiiinguuuu.....how I've missed you. I'm soooo glad you're watching this XD
14 episodes and no disappointments so far.
How rare for us, old CITT bud? :D

I'm intrigued. What do you mean by filters? Are Viki making a monster profit, and treating all the actors like crap? Or are you saying, Viki is greedy for lots of money, so they're inserting western actors into Korean dramas? But isn't this is a collaboration...like recently Sweden and Denmark got together and made "The Bridge." It's experimental. Testing untried waters. If you don't like it...maybe you can just pretend it doesn't exist? :D

Nothing about the quality of acting? Plot? Nuances? You've just reduced it to race? *looks disappointed*

What...are you telling me Signal and Please come back, Mister are all about adultery? Colour me shocked. I thought one was a crime drama, and the other, a weird body-swap one? :P I will always prefer american tv shows for plots, and able to make me come back for multiple series. The Brits are not too shabby either. But the asian world...you nailed it, bud. It's the innocence - or rather, how it harkens back to Austen's era, where writing a letter was the height or romance. Same applies here. It's not all about who's hooking up with who, exchanging partners all the time, just focusing on physical gratification...when I discovered k/j/t- dramas I felt like I'd gone to heaven :P Try watching the mini-series Dramaworld. It will be full of fan-service :)

heehee. Absolutely!

I am the opposite to your vigilantism. Whilst you go around chiding people (presumably) about not using the spoiler button, I tell people they're using them too much. Why on this very page, I was talking to somebody, and they said, "I'm planning to watch another (programme) next week"...then marked it as spoiler! I jokingly said it's a spoiler to your schedule maybe, but the underlying subtext is, people don't think about what they're typing enough, and whether it's really "a spoiler or not."

You like the kinky dramas? Uhhmmm. That's nice! :)
As a rule of thumb, are all adultery dramas "kinky?"
lol, I think we're all behind you on the grow a pair of balls comment. How can this be labelled a revenge drama, when it takes 50 or 60 episodes, before anything revenge like happens? All we have is reactionary characters, and no "take-charge" characters. Well, we did...*sobs*

Yeah. I was in the dark too. The whole summary lead to a big debate on here, and we were taking bets on who would die. I was firmly in the "Na Yeon" will die camp, flying the flag proudly, until someone told me the KBS released summary...still I watched, hoping they were wrong. Haha. That reminds me of my "currently-watching" list. According it, I'm watching "30" dramas, buts about 28 of them are really "on-hold."

Seen ep 14 of Marriage Contract yet?
I have work, so will watch it on Tuesday. And with no hint of irony - no spoilers please! :)

I don't see how "my favourite twin died" is a spoiler, because I could literally mean either of them. It's like if I said, "my favourite character died in Harry Potter" and you told me to mark that as a spoiler - which it wouldn't be, unless you knew me very well, or I'd written a blog, saying "SNAPE IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER". But I concede :P

Heh. I don't mind the long replies! Particularly because you paragraph and don't repeat points. I really want to watch six flying dramas. Apparently that is a 50-episode MASTERPIECE. This is my first 100ep drama too - but I don't think showcases them the best. I think King's Daughter Soo Baek Hyang is rated pretty high, and I plan to watch it, right after this one.

Yes! I said that at the time too. Very "Stairway to Heaven." Also those time jumps....whaaat. I started of saying Na Yeon, what an angel, but by episode 30, I was calling her naive, delusional, irritating...it's why I preferred her twin. (I was going to make another point here, but I forgot what it was -.-)

Ah. You do realize the summary on here is false, right? KBS released the correct summary all along, stating Do Hee will die, but it got confused, and someone translated it to Na Yeon dying. They didn't "trick" us. They told us exactly what was going to happen, but someone got the wrong end of the stick, and made up their own summary.

Ha. I think I've dropped more dramas than you, or you've completed more than me, so clearly you're more patient out of the two :P My grand rate is finishing 2 dramas per year.

Just out of interest - what drew you initially to this drama? Was it because it gave you Queen of Ambition vibes? You sound like you're in a love-hate relationship with Heaven's Promise :) In contrary to you - I was never bored. Vexed, certainly. They kept teasing us about when Do Hee and Na Yeon was going to meet, then I read a few spoilers, and discovered my favourite twin died. That made me nearly quit. I stopped watching about three weeks ago, but then decided to start again today - and you know what? There is an addictive quality to it. I can't describe it exactly - like you said the majority of the characters behave ludicrously. But I actually like all of Na Yeon's family and their side story-lines.

Anyways, I'm pleasantly surprised to see you here and I hope you don't bust a major blood vessel whilst coming towards the end.

I was actually going to drop this, but I decided to man up, and keep going. I mean, I even wrote an article on it! How can I desert this drama??? I'm on ep 42, will catch up soon.
