I loved Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum in KMHM. Is Secret just as good?
But it's more to melodrama, lots of crying and heartache. Both Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum's performance were so great that I could actually feel their pain and struggle. KMHM is more towards rom-com. Even though there is lot of psychological struggle in KMHM but it's consider a light if compare to Secret. So it's 2 very different genre.
I hope he will get to act in another drama soon. He has been choosing poor drama to work on. He is a great actor but his previous acting projects just sucks and receiving poor feedback. I don't know what happened to him that he is not doing well in Korea (didnt follow much on the news) but he doing superbly well in Japan. I hope could get a comeback drama.
Probably this drama can also have an alternate title, Obsession. Min Hyuk was obsessed with seeking revenge and tormenting Yoo Jung earlier on, and later half of the drama he was just obsessed with her, all the stalking and controlling. But I LOVE IT. I just love the hardcore-ness and how dark this drama was.
Bae Soo-bin portrayed on of the most complex bad guys I've seen in kdramas, he was amazing. It's also worth watching…
I love this drama for the complexity. The plot intrigued me to watch this drama. How can so much hatred can dissipate into love? Ji Sung made it happen and I was convinced. This is a story of how 2 very emotionally damaged characters intertwined together, and somehow they understand each other suffering. This not the typical rom-com and it took Yoo Jung a long while to finally accept Min Hyuk, almost towards the end.
But I find that there is too much stalking and Min Hyuk's obsession was scary. This drama could be named as Obsession, instead of Secret.

Actually I preferred Secret more than KMHM. Character development is superb here. While in KMHM, it only depends on Ji Sung's acting but in Secret, everyone performance is superb.
The only thing that I liked about this drama is the male lead (first time seeing Ji Sung), the OST and OTP chemistry (I was rooting for Shin Segi!!). I don't really like Hwang Jung Eum here, yes, I was totally annoyed with her screaming. But their interaction and chemistry were superb, favourite part was their bickering turn into rapping. I couldn't get enough of them, which brought me to Secret Love, and it was an even better written drama than KMHM.
I agree with your review 100%. The only thing that I liked about this drama is the male lead (first time seeing Ji Sung), the OST and OTP chemistry (I was rooting for Shin Segi!!).

I'd already done episode 13 and since I have already came this far, I can't wait to finish this drama so that I can move onto a new 1. And I'm on the verge of dropping this. I think Hwang Jung Eum and Park Seo Joon has better chemistry as brother and sister in KMHM. Their friendship here is awesome too, but just lack of something as lover. Maybe because all the character's here has appealing back story, except for Seong Jun's? He is just a workaholic longing for his first love.
Siwon has a mysterious back story, weird and eccentric character, great acting. Couldn't blame those that is rooting for him. He really did feels like a main lead material here, just the script doesn't allow him to be. Hwang Jung Eum has always been a great actress, so it's not a surprise that she outshines the male lead. I prefer her pairing with older actor. #teamjisung
I'm lucky to get to know him through his earlier drama and movie, Successful Story of A Bright Girl and Windstruck. Love both actresses too. And recently just watched Shine of Go Crazy. I really love Jang Hyuk and he chose difficult characters to play. But I don't think I can watch another of his drama anytime soon. I realize that most of his drama/movie has bad ending (a lot of his character died or OTP just couldn't be together). Too much heartbreak.
