A little bit of self-promotion.....nice :)
Thank you. Enjoyed checking out the tumblr post...your additions were endearing

After reading your review, you made a lot of things slot into place for me.
He's isn't able to suitably convey romance. Some people blame the female lead, but for me all the dramas have one common point - him.

Are you talking about that letter she gave to him, and it later turned up on the school noticeboard? Yeah, I think he did post them :( But I think they showed a flashback of why. Apparently when they were kids, she made fun of him and really hurt him, and this was him getting back at her?

The lead female is actually quite convincing as a guy. It's the lead male I have a problem with. He poses too much, and also pouts quite a bit. The action scenes are showboating, and they're literally pausing in the middle, just to smirk or pout at each other. So off-putting. Normally I would overlook this, but it was so bad, I stopped watching straightaway. Tis a pity.

Episode 4 was great! :D ♥ Gave us more delicious insight into how much Tenten/Taliw mattered to each other as kids, and in some unguarded moments (when he sees her in that fancy dress, for eg, turning around to smile at him) you can tell he's totally smitten. This is different from the other versions, because Taliw isn't some braindead zombie, losing all pride and self-respect chasing after him, and he isn't a total asshat, just degrading her for no reason. Best version of the couple and storyline so far. Thai remakes are good! Even the soundtrack is growing on me, and I'm bopping along in the opening titles.

The 1st episode is quite good, 2nd and 3rd really dodgy, but if you stick with it, it really picks up and ep 7 is really, really funny. As you can see from the discussion on here, there are a lot of SWP fans!

Yes! Animals were fed on human breast milk, and also little human babies were fed straight from the teat from cows, goats etc. It sounds so ridiculous, but apparently it's been the norm for centuries.

It's a problematic idea. "Oh, he's nice to me, so I'll just drop my panties." No, it doesn't work like that. What if you have 10 guy friends, and they're all perfectly sweet and lovely? Do you say yes to all of them? You can't. It's tricky choosing a life partner, and as long as the guy you're picking isn't abusive and makes you feel like sh*t, then what does it matter, if he's over affectionate and nice or moody and a tsundere? Just as long as you feel something, and he feels it back :)

I don't think just because a guy likes you, and treats you well, gives him automatic rights to how you feel and how you should give your body up. At the end of the day, it's her choice. Though like you, sometimes I wish writers throw in a curveball and make the second lead, become the main lead XD

Three notes about Episode 9:

1) I will use a Marilyn Monroe quote that is very effective: "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." I have always appreciated Hye Jin from the beginning, so for me, it just gives me so much delight seeing Hye Jin finding confidence in herself, and becoming more awesome. Some people criticized her at times, but like Marliyn said...if you can't handle a character at their worst, then you don't deserve them at their best!

2) I loved the meta reference with booking super junior for the launch. LOL.

3)I loved how the italian-speaking chief gave the speech, but when she was speaking in korean, did you notice the english subtitles on the screen behind her? LOL. That should've been the easiest bit to translate for the Viki gang! But they went ahead, and used their own anyway....I appreciate that. The background screen wasn't fully visible in most shots.

Overall, really liked episode 9! Still lots of things unanswered, but we're getting there....

Cruelly addicted to this show. This past week has felt like forevaaaaaaaaa

Much like a Kwon Soo Ah, there is a snake on this thread. Pretends to be nice, but is vitriolic towards same gender relationships. That person disgusts me.

Who's Coco? I don't think I've caught up with you yet.

I recommend everybody watch this drama. I'm learning historical facts, I've never learnt before. In the first episode, when the kids were peeping, and saw piglets being breastfed by women...I was like, what fantasy is this? This is so far-fetched (yes, I'm showing my ignorance here)...but then I googled it for a "laugh" and it turns out human-animal breastfeeding has been going on for a very long time, and in some cultures, still practiced today. I was gobsmacked. But for learning this little fact alone, I'm glad I started this drama. Plus it's engaging, exciting and well acted!

Can you believe some people are expressing disappointment that the girl decided to have a makeover. Better on her terms, than anyone else's. I was sooooooo psyching myself for a scene, where Seong Joon waves his magic wand, and an army of assistants come out with tongs and brushes. But I guess ep 9 will reveal how the makeover came about?

His adam's apple looks painful :O
But I'm happy for his role in Cheer Up

It must've been ridiculous indeed! Hahaha XD

@Meena_Drama_Fan Be homophobic in private, not in public forums please!!!!

Jeez, there's a syndrome for everything these days! :D

No, he's a personal trainer so I imagine he'd be quite fit. I think she's going to book him as her personal trainer, and there will be hot and steamy sessions in the gym :P :D
