I never click on "English dub" - it just automatically came up that way on the television. But when I went into my Amazon prime on my laptop, I could change the settings and then all was well on the [big screen] TV. I really hated hearing the audio in a voice that clearly was not Park Min Young. Hopefully it's fixed going forward.

Certainly the teen versions are very similar in looks. I posted below - based on the character description of the father, it's possible they are half-brothers.

Loved all of it. Will be getting up early Sunday morning (my time) to watch Ep. 2

But. . . .Amazon Prime is the pits. I tried watching on my smart tv and the voice (audio) was in ENGLISH and definitely not Park Min Young's voice. No matter what I tried, couldn't get Korean Audio (my personal preference) until I went onto my laptop and signed into my Amazon account and then - and only then - could re-set the audio/subs.

IMO, this is better than the Japanese version but I forgive the J-drama a bit since it was released during a time when asian dramas were peak slapstick/screaming. Love PMY and the team and CANNOT WAIT for the episode when Oh Na-ra is the baddie.

I read the JTBC character description of the father - there is a lot more to his backstory than what we have seen thus far and it looks like the little girl is not his daughter or even step-daughter (AI translating Korean to English is always tricky). And I wouldn't be surprised if the two guys end up being half-brothers, not step-brothers.

I fell sleep while watching Ep. 1 and woke up about 10 minutes into Ep. 2. Had to re-wind.

Way too many long, drawn-out scenes with no dialogue. I'm watching because of Seo Ji Hoon (like you are watching for Song Joong Ki) and far more interested in the "new" romance of his character and Tae-rin, but then I've never been a fan of "old" romance reborn.

I'm not sure he is her father. My impression is that he was living with (not married or even engaged) the girl's mother and the mother abandoned the child. But I thought the explanation of relationships was very poor - perhaps Korean understood quickly (based on the use or non-use of honorifics), but the writer could have done a better job of inserting dialogue that would help clarify.

I'm here because of Seo Ji Hoon (ML#2) but very disappointed he was barely on screen thus far and virtually no explanation of his(or Tae Rin's) back-story.

Truly one of the most boring dramas I have every watched. Would be dumping it if not for the 2nd couple - their background/history is far more intriguing.

I just checked and the 1st two episodes are already released. Unfortunately, I don't have time to watch yet. 😢😢😢

You said "delicious angst" but angst-anything is not my cup of tea. Rom-com plus Suspense, mystery, danger??? I'm good but that Ep 12 break-up is why I have dropped many rom-com kdramas. (where the ef is the comedy??)

Two of my early favorites were WWWSK and Private Lives - but I binge-watched them. They never actually broke up at any point, but so much of the last several episodes were pure filler/tension. Looking back, I think it worked f (for me) because I could immediately move forward. If watching currently, I need a reason to return the next week.

I'll repeat: crossing fingers that this drama is tightly written/directed because I DO love me my Jung So Min.

The building at the end is the National Assembly - Korea's national legislature. Not sure if the pin on the guys lapel pin denotes a member of the Assembly or someone in what they call the "ministerial" staff (Secretary General). Regardless, he's someone important.

"Crazy Love"!!! My all time favorite and nothing came close until this year's "Art of Negotiation". So - those two are tied for first place on my favorite list.

I agree with you about Crash course. In my experience, the most successful rom-com/mystery dramas are 12 episodes. 1-4 episodes: Introduction (characters, plot, mystery). 5-8 The plot solidifies and romance starts (infamous ep. 8 first kiss). 9-12: a bit of romance, a bit of danger The End. My Troublesome Star is also following this pattern.

Sixteen episodes become a burden (I usually drop at Ep. 10/11 because the plot is still in limbo).

Can't wait - always love to watch Jung So Min.

There's more to the drama than simply "contract marriage" type rom-com. Apparently there is a murder (accident?) mystery element as well that explains why the ML is a perfectionist. Since it's only 12 episodes, here's hoping it's tightly written/directed.

The 1st accident was immediately (same night??) after she won the award and she thanked "####" (I forget the number for the detective). So, there was certain amount of time between the scenes at the police station and the award ceremony and since both young actors are "supporting", I think we might see more flashback scenes of them between those two events.

He's the reason I put this on my watchlist and fortunately, the drama itself is worth watching.

I think it's #1. I'm enjoying the show, but if they give us some sort of "she was living wretched/poor job for 20 years and acting as if she had no memory this entire time", then I - as a viewer - would feel totally scammed.

The story is enjoyable because there is a mystery and the detective (Song Seung Heon - the main reason I'm giving this a try) is going to gradually put the pieces together. If she's scamming him as well? I'll rate this at the bottom of my drama list.

Your Theory #3 also fits with #1 - after the accident, her manager stole her $$. But he was able to blackmail the b**ch actress because somehow she is tied to the rich guy. He probably pimped her out to the rich guy (just as he tried with "Im Se-ra").

IM YourOnlyOne - I always enjoy reading your theories and eagle-eye observations. 😊

For the last 20 (25?) years, she had no memory of "Im Se Ra" or her life as an actress. Those are the clothes she has been wearing when she was living a different life - a miserable job, very poor and likely an "engineered" memory. She can't afford new clothes, make-up or hair stylist.

He is the reason why I will give it a try. 😊
