It was interesting to see Oh Ji Yeong, other contestants and those people involved to help them win the Miss Korea competition do many things in order their contestant win. We got to see them cry, fight, be happy, sad, be hungry, do many weird exercises, some of them did plastic surgery (I'm glad the main actress didn't), etc. All kinds of emotions. I was happy that Oh Ji Yeong won the Miss Korea competition at the end :D Also, it was nice to see the good and bad sides of the Miss Korea competition, corruption, bribery, sponsors, etc.
Also, I liked the side-stories like about the Vivi company owing money. They did get bankrupt at the end and had to sell their BB cream product, but I'm happy that they did not give up and are now trying to create a lip gloss that goes well with their BB cream (which is now unfortunately under Baba company). The Vivi company faced many obstacles and many were against them, which destroyed them. But now I'm hoping that they will revive with their new product + I'm happy that they thought of their employees and put them first :D
Also, I liked the 1990's part. At first, I did not realize that it was based in the 1990's, I thought it was based more in the 2000's (2013 to be exact). But then, they talked about the problem of employment, also having a job as an elevator girl, mobiles coming in slowing as they are using pagers, etc, made me realize that it is definitely not based in 2013.
I'm currently watching this drama in 2019, so 22 years passed from 1997 till now. Ok 22 years are quite some years, but not a lot of time passed and things changed so much. Well, I was born in 1996 and although I don't remember the pagers, I remember the old mobiles and had ones. Anyway, the point of all this, is that it was nice to remember about my old nokia mobile and sliding LG mobile that had it's screen like a mirror lol + those wide televisions and computers + the tape recorders (I remember using them to record my favourite shows lol :D) And now even CD's are out-dated, cannot believe time passed so quickly, I feel old lol.
Moreover, I like all the cast and characters, very good acting + good chemistry between the leads. I also like the chemistry between the Doctor and the gangster, they're cute as well :3 Also, I like Oh Ji Yeong's family :D
For the songs, I heard English ones, most of them I heard most of my life like barbie girl, macarena, hey mickey, etc. It made me laugh and smile + remember my childhood ^_^
For the downside of this drama. I quite like it generally and enjoyed watching it, however at one point I did put it on hold for 2 weeks and continued it today actually. For me, it got draggy and put it on hold after episode 7.
I had to take a break from it and started to watch other things + I had to fast forward some parts as it felt draggy, especially now in the last 3 episodes. Ok, I'm liking that they are focusing on reviving Vivi company, but I would have felt it complete if they ended it with Oh Ji Yeong winning Miss Korea 1997 competition. For me, 20 eps were too long.
Anyway, it's not bad, I don't regret watching it. I finally decided to watch it after holding it off for 6 years lol. I remember this drama coming out, but I did not want to watch it and although I was kind of right because it did not fully capture my interest, I'm glad I did watch it ^_^ Now off to the last 3 episodes.......
EDIT:
Finished! Great ending :D Their company did well and a happy ending for all couples ^_^
Conclusion:
It was interesting to watch and had great moments like preparing for the beauty pageant, the make-up parts, the work crisis, the couples, the family, etc, but at times it did feel draggy. However, it was not all bad, I recommend to watch this drama :)
100% agree with this article. These are all the reasons why I hate love triangles, especially when they drag on with it + they try to fill the story with it = they ruin the story. Awesome article :D
It's not bad. It's cute, light, hilarious at times and fluffy with a somewhat dark past of the main lead. Also, I am liking the witch theme which was why I wanted to watch it.
However, although there are only 12 episodes, I am finding it draggy and it did not capture my interest that much. I started to fast forward some parts from ep 5 onwards.
And the leads are kind of stiff together. Ok the kisses were good but they have little chemistry.
Anyway, it's not bad just watch it if you want to watch it.
EDIT:
Finished! I liked the ending :D Also, the last 3 episodes wrapped up everything and told us what exactly happened in the kidnapping case of the main lead and there was nothing spooky about it.
Well, the spooky thing was his mother was actually who kidnapped him because her husband was cheating on her. Yeah her husband was a jerk, but it doesn't mean she could use her son to keep her relationship with her husband! He was going to die but he didn't because the witch grandmas saved him.
Also, the good thing is that the main lead accepted the main actress as how she is :D
Also, the main leads got cuter and better at the end + their kisses were great :D
However, the story got story weird. What was supposed to happen with that actress that was treated like dirt, but then after she was photographed with the main lead and spread rumors that she is with a rich guy, everyone was treating her like royalty? We never got to find out. Actually, I totally forgot about her but I read it in a comment and remember lol.
Conclusion:
Anyway, it's not all bad, I did enjoy it but the story got kind of weird and at times did not make sense, but at least the last 3 episodes, it was explained what happened exactly and a happy ending :D
Loved it :D I enjoyed the cases, the characters, the main actress obsession with trains, food and money (she still helped other people and the legal firm needs to keep ongoing with money so that's ok :D), the detective show, how the characters in the team worked together and how they helped other people :D
It was a drama that made me laugh, smile, feel happy, be serious, be sad and learned about trains lol ^_^ It was a fun drama to watch :D
SPOILERS:currently watching and on ep 26......I like it :D It's very light, cute and there are hilarious moments…
SPOILERS:
In the middle of ep 36.....
Ok the whole thing about the drug and Yibei was blamed for Little One's coma came to light finally. Little One did not want Yibei to leave and go to the Asian team and so she drugged his juice, however she felt guilty and did not give it to him.
Meanwhile, she had confessed to him and he rejected her saying that he will always will see her as a friend and a sister. And so since he felt guilty that he could not reciprocate her feelings, he decided to drink the juice. Therefore, a whole misunderstanding and I don't know what the whole thing was about, but it was kind of simple. I expected something worse or something.
Ou Yang Heng and Lin Zi cleared the misunderstanding towards Yibei as well.
Meanwhile, Qi Rui Feng was injured, apparently it was his fault that he did not treat his injury beforehand. He ignored it until it became serious, it's a shame he won't participate in the finals of the dream cup. At least, he and Yang Yang finally got together and shared a kiss :D Although the kiss was not that great, but they're finally together.
Also, Yibei's old injury acted up since just before the competition he went to save Little One from a car accident (she's prone to car accidents + she needs to learn to look left and right before crossing the road) and he hit his leg exactly where his old injury was.
But he will still participate in the competition, so I will look forward to it and see who will win. Is it Ou Yang Heng or Yibei?
EDIT:
Finished! A nice happy ending :D Yibei was chosen for the asian team and will go to America and Yun Dao will go with him and film the whole training :D
For Little One and Ou Yang Heng , she is accepting him or will try, since he told her that he doesn't mind if he waits more for her since he already waited 4 years.
For Lin Zi and Chang Mei, they might get together as he wants her to go to work at his company and she kisses him saying that she wants to go after him and he seems to not mind it.
Ok, we ended up not knowing who won in the finals of the dream cup competition, but probably Yibei won since he was chosen to go to the Asian team and Ou Yang Heng congratulated him for it and he passed the message through Lin Zi.
Conclusion:
Ok I liked the story in general + the sports theme and media / reporting theme. I liked the main couple and the second couple. For the other couples, thought not official, I'm assuming that they will end up together.
Also, the story was very light, the misunderstandings got solved quickly (excluding the one about Little One, that was the only one that took 4 years to resolve), the couples were all cute, there wasn't any particular villain (Lin Zi and Chang Mei were briefly but changed for the better quickly) and I liked all the characters :D
As I mentioned before, one thing was that it got draggy and boring at one point in the story, and I started to fast forward it. But I did not regret watching it, I'm glad I did :D
Btw, I loved the across the pacific song, it's was awesome :D
I agree with you. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, Splash Splash Love and I'm Not a Robot were feel good dramas that make me smile, happy and feel good :D The other dramas I did not watch them yet so thank you for the recommendations :D
For one of the topic discussion; I usually snack on biscuits but when I really love a drama or I'm liking a scene I usually start eating and then forget them lol :P
I like it :D It's very light, cute and there are hilarious moments and moments that make you smile :) The story is good ^_^
The characters are all nice, likable and adorable. You can say that the 'villain' is Yun Dao's best friend Cheng Mei recently as she got jealous of Yun Dao in terms of work and in terms of love. Also, Lin Zi is also a kind of villain as he is also jealous and getting in the way of Yibei and Yun Dao, as he clearly knows that they both like each other but he is still getting in the way.
In this episode, Yibei and Yun Dao kissed :D Finally, it took them long enough. They clearly fell for each other from the beginning, but with all the misunderstandings, people getting in their way like Yibei's coach and Lin Zi, their status as an athlete and a reporter, Yibei's fans and the media got in they way as well, etc, it took them this long. Anyway, they just kissed and the episode ended so we'll see what they will do next.
Another couple I'm looking forward to are Qi Rui Feng and Yang Yang, they're cute as well ^_^ Qi Rui Feng finally noticed Yang Yang and sees her as a woman, it took him some time as well. We'll see when he will tell her or maybe Yang Yang will tell him first, but I doubt it since he had always told her that she is a tomboy, doesn't sees her as a woman, doesn't look good in a dress, etc. Btw, she did look good in a dress, and he clearly saw that she looked good but he told her not. Anyway, he is getting nervous around her which means he fell for her, so we'll see what will happen.
Moreover, I like the sports parts in this drama. I enjoy watching the swimming team of the South train and compete in competitions against other teams, it's nice :D
The downside of it, is that there is a women swimming team and we see them train in the gym or running and they go to training camps with the men's team, etc. But we never get to see them train in the pool. We only see the men's swimming team practice in the pool, not that I'm complaining but I don't get why we were never shown the women's team or at least Yang Yang in the pool practicing. And only 10 episodes left, so I don't think we will see anything.
Also, I like that apart from the swimming parts, we see the reporters side due to Yun Dao. We get to see the main leads trying hard to achieve their dreams in different sectors, swimming for Yibei and being a reporter for Yun Dao + they face obstacles and they overcome them + the best of all, they fall for each other :D
Also, we found out that Yibei was the one who saved Yun Dao 4 years ago, so they're telling us that it's clear that they are made for each other and destined for each other ^_^
Btw, I also loved the song that is played when Yibei is going to swim in a competition and there is tension whether he will win or not and at the end he swims faster and wins. Something 'across the pacific' which I understand since it's in english. Anway, I loved it such a beautiful song and matches the swimming scenes perfectly :D
Ok I have said all the positive parts. One negative comment is that at times it does get draggy or feels boring. To be truthful I started to fast forward from episode 12 onwards and continued to fast forward up till now.
Ok the competitions parts and when Yibei and Yun Dao appear + when Qi Rui Feng and Yang Yang no but other parts or parts that I don't like that much or feel useless yes.
However, I like the story in general and the characters are likeable and awesome + I'm curious what will happen next + there is the background story about Little One that we haven't seen yet. We only got bits and pieces but still no clear thing about what exactly happened to Little One and why Yibei is like being blamed for it + Lin Zi feels angry that Yibei got to restart his like and Little One didn't, etc. We will see that part later on probably.
SPOILERS:On episode 8.....What the heck? Did prosecutor Noh just die? I thought he would be in this drama until…
SPOILERS:
At the end of episode 11......
The new chief prosecutor was supposed to be clean and good, but he got blinded by success. Also, the special team three he made was corrupted and so he decided to believe the evil ones and got corrupted as well.
Anyway, here they finally decided to be a team and be a family + they also finally decided to make a plan and it worked and they were able to trick their enemies.
EDIT:
At the end of episode 12......
The story got better now that they teamed up, are fighting with a plan and are doing things in a right way.
Also, the new chief prosecutor admitted all the wrong doings of the special team three and took up all the responsibility and resigned. He realized that he was going on the wrong path but he stopped before going any further. I thought that he wouldn't, but he did and everything went well.
The main cast got all released, the innocent people who were framed got released as well + the cases are all being re investigated and also the truth behind the death of Prosecutor Noh was reveled and they made a memorial for him, I'm glad they did that.
And the corrupt people in the special team three got all arrested. That detective guy who was behind all of this should have become a writer or a storyteller. He manages to come up with every little details and plans to frame others + he killed prosecutor Noh = and he got to jail, yay :D
This all thanks to the honesty of the ex-new chief prosecutor.
Ok now in this episode, it seems a happy ending and it would have been nice if it ended in this episode.
BUT there are 3 episodes left, so let's see what will evil scheme will pop up next and now the new team formed (hopefully) will reveal the truth......
EDIT 2:
At the end of episode 14........
Another evil person appears who is the sister of the Mayor. She should have been Mayor.
Anyway, the team all got kicked out as detectives and prosecutors and are now able to collect evidence freely without any warrants, etc.
It was quite funny when they brought them the guy who works under the HS company owner + all the evidences and they were all shocked or amazed + the media reported it that the evidence was given by an anonymous informant.
This was an awesome episode where they worked together, fought with a plan and with reason + managed to nail the bad guys :D I wish that we were shown something like this earlier. We had to wait until episode 12 onward.
Last 2 episodes left.....
EDIT 3:
At the end of episode 15........
The scientific investigation was hilarious, it wasn't any scientific investigation at all lol :D
Anyway, I have a feeling that Jang Sung Cheol dies. They could have wait until the gangsters left to retrieve the bug + the other guy disguising as a waiter should have waited as well or left with the clothes and tell the restaurant he would give them back later or something. That blew up their cover.......
EDIT 4:
Episode 16....
Yep he died, but quick thinking on swallowing the memory card. It was quite sad actually, he knew that he would die.
Thanks to that, they got the mayor, his sister, his niece and the owner of HS companies.
Although the team did well, it is still sad that they started with 7 people and ended up with 3 people of the original team as the rest died. That is sad, but they got the bad guys, so it's a happy ending on that part.
EDIT 5:
At the end of episode 16......
The contract killer from season 1 appeared and the team of season 2 asked him to join them. Maybe a third season will come out......we'll see.
Conclusion:
It wasn't bad on the whole. I liked it more from episode 12 onwards. So I'll give it a 6.5/10.
SPOILERS:At the end of episode one.....It started with a bang + very intense and lots of violence, very different…
SPOILERS:
On episode 8.....
What the heck? Did prosecutor Noh just die? I thought he would be in this drama until the end. Uhh everyone is dying! He was appointed as the leader for the special team and he was just a guy and he got killed......
Meanwhile, the guy who owned HS companies told the truth and he went to jail and the chief prosecutor Lee Myung Deuk was also corrupt and doing worse things. Anyway, he got is as well.
I think the story will shift on something or someone else. We'll see......
EDIT: On episode 9.....
I just can't get into this story. Too many fights. Also, there is no team and now they can work together because their own separate cases are leading to the same person apparently. If I understood well. And they don't want to work together, uhh!
And now they are going after them. Now 2 of them are getting blamed for murders.
Anyway, the story is a mess and I'm just watching to see what will happen + fast forwarding to end it quickly. Whatever happens, happens.........
It started with a bang + very intense and lots of violence, very different from season one. But I'm still not sure what is going on exactly in the story. The one thing I got is that they are after that guy who owns lots of companies that start with HS and they need to start by getting that killer who I think kills for that guy who owns HS companies. I'm just clueless as Prosecutor Noh.
Anyway, I loved season 1, but I'm still not sure about this second season. But I'm just finished episode 1, so I'll continue watching and maybe I'll understand what's going on.
EDIT:
At the end of episode 3.....
The story is still kind of all over the place + with more violence + the special team are like all crazy people who I think from what I understood, they are using their rage and want revenge.
Also, they're supposed to be the good people, but they are being more bad guys than the bad guys.
Ok in season 1, they were bad guys but we got to know them more, their reasons, etc and I liked them. But in this season, I still haven't warmed up to them and don't like them much yet. I'll watch more and see......
EDIT 2: At the end of episode 5....
I wondered why the investigator and the only woman who was part of them were not listed in the main cast and in the poster. And they were to be killed.
Also, I kind of wondered why the owner of HS companies did not go after them separately. I thought he would go after them and try to kill them much earlier. Anyway, he finally did and managed to kill 2 of them.
I'm still not liking this team that much yet. I don't know what they are going to do next, but according to the preview, they will go after the bad guys + more violence and try to kill the owner of HS companies.
Also, I'm not liking this story that much. Ok, I like to watch violence but with violence that has a purpose or has a plan behind it.
Here in this drama, all I'm seeing is just violence for show or for viewers. Or if you are following the story, this team have no plan at all and they are just angry that they have no evidence on this guy and cannot get him to jail in any way.
Also, they are using violence as they have no other way to use since they cannot do anything to him. Ok we know that he's a criminal and has done many bad things, but it doesn't mean you fall to the same methods he does or do worse. What makes them any better that this guy who owns HS companies? They are no any better than the thugs he has under him. Actually, they are worse since they are supposed to be the good guys.
Anyway, I'll continue watching and see what happens next. I hope they will try to come up with a plan and do not use only violence. If they continue this way, they should just kill him and get it over with, like when Han Gang Joo was trying to stab him. I kinda was rooting for him and to get it over with.
Side comment:
Lol, I think this is my first time I started to comment on a drama after the first episode. I really loved the first season and probably I'm irritated that I'm not liking the second one and I'm trying hard to like it. But with every passing episode, I'm getting more irritated by this team and their methods.
Or maybe I had lots of expectations. That usually happens to me. When I have high expectations I get disappointed. Or maybe I wanted the story in a certain way, but I don't know how I wanted it but I didn't get what I wanted and got disappointed. Well, I'm being too negative, I'll have hope that it will get better.
Generally I liked the story and the couples. However, in the middle of it, the story got too draggy.
Also, there were too much drama, misunderstandings and useless promises that got in the way of the main couple. I liked them as a couple but Prim was too much of a good person. What's the point of pushing Phu to Vicky when he clearly only cares for Vicky as a sister. Not only is she hurting herself, but also Phu and Vicky + Phu caring for Vicky will get her temporary happiness and misunderstand that Phu likes her and things will get worse.
Anyway, I liked the other couples more. Wat and Boot are adorable, although they haven't got together officially yet, but I liked their interactions and chemistry ^_^ Also, Rita and Touch are adorable together as well :D But his mother is getting in their way.
Also, for Vicky's mother. She is the most selfish and cruel person! Then after all the things she has done (like attempted murder on Prim, did not help Uncle Dam who technically died because of her chasing after him and he fell and hit his head and she did not try to help him at all, Vicky got shot because of her, etc), all of a sudden she made a 360 degrees change and everything is all right and forgotten. I still hope she gets what she deserves and in the end go to jail or something. She's totally crazy and who knows what she will do next because of her jealousy or for her children.
Anyway, the story was not bad, but I would have preferred if the story focused more on the work of the three friends. Ok for Prim we got to see her love for shoes and see her designing and making shoes.
But for her friends Boot and Rita it was until episode 5 or later that we got to know that Rita loved designing and making clothes while Boot's dream was to be an event organizer. Ok you tell me it was early but this lakorn is 12 episodes long with 2 hours each episode. Instead of useless drama I would have preferred to see more about Rita and Boot.
Also, before I began this lakorn I saw three guys and three girls and you immediately know who will end up with whom, but what I got to see in the romance part was a mess.
Ok for Prim and Phu they start to like each other, but for others a mess. Like Wat and Touch liked Prim first. For Wat, he liked Prim for her appearance and Touch liked her because she saved him. Touch then started to like Rita later on. Then Rita liked Wat and then switched to Touch later on. Well Boot liked Wat much later on.
Ok, I get that humans can like a person and then switch to another, but here I kind of wanted the three couples to like each other immediately. Ok maybe I expected too much and got kind of disappointing and irritated but that's me and I'm here complaining so if you liked the romance part don't mind me.
Also, I'm complaining, because of this mess of a romance between the couples, we are barely seeing these three couples together and so I'm annoyed.
Also, I kind of expected the story to be light but it's like semi light and semi serious since we got to see drugs, attempted murders, people getting shot, etc. Also, it was kind of hilarious in the beginning but now because of the drama and all, it's serious and annoying.
Anyway, I'll finish the last episode, but I'm giving it a 6/10. It's not bad but not that great either. Btw, I started to fast forward it from ep 5 onwards for sure.
EDIT: Ep 12 in the middle of it......
Drama till the end. They pressured Phu to marry Vicky because of her selfishness and good acting. She learned well from her mother. Apparently Vicky was healed a long time ago and acted all crazy to get Phu to marry her uhh!
EDIT 2: Ep 12 at the end.....
Ok liked the end of episode 12, it was a happy ending for everyone + couples.
Phu and Prim got married + Prim is working as a shoe designer in P. Paul company as she wanted. Pong and Vee had their child and are happy together. Wat and Boot did well in their company. Rita and Touch got married and are working together and Rita is designing children's clothes. Vicky's mum paid for her wrong doings and is doing good things. Vicky went to study abroad and got a boyfriend and is happy.
It was a 360 change again in the story, but anyway we got a happy ending :) Btw, my favorite couple is Wat and Boot :D Also, I forgot to mention that I liked the relationship between the three friends; Prim, Boot and Rita. They're so cute and were like a family and helped each other in many ways ^_^
Conclusion:
I will still give it 6/10 as there was too much drama and too draggy. I had to fast forward to finish it and finally it's over.
But on the whole it was not bad and liked it. Just watch it if you are curious about it or don't know what to watch and happen to come across this lakorn.

currently watching.....and on ep 17
I quite like the story :D
It was interesting to see Oh Ji Yeong, other contestants and those people involved to help them win the Miss Korea competition do many things in order their contestant win. We got to see them cry, fight, be happy, sad, be hungry, do many weird exercises, some of them did plastic surgery (I'm glad the main actress didn't), etc. All kinds of emotions. I was happy that Oh Ji Yeong won the Miss Korea competition at the end :D Also, it was nice to see the good and bad sides of the Miss Korea competition, corruption, bribery, sponsors, etc.
Also, I liked the side-stories like about the Vivi company owing money. They did get bankrupt at the end and had to sell their BB cream product, but I'm happy that they did not give up and are now trying to create a lip gloss that goes well with their BB cream (which is now unfortunately under Baba company). The Vivi company faced many obstacles and many were against them, which destroyed them. But now I'm hoping that they will revive with their new product + I'm happy that they thought of their employees and put them first :D
Also, I liked the 1990's part. At first, I did not realize that it was based in the 1990's, I thought it was based more in the 2000's (2013 to be exact). But then, they talked about the problem of employment, also having a job as an elevator girl, mobiles coming in slowing as they are using pagers, etc, made me realize that it is definitely not based in 2013.
I'm currently watching this drama in 2019, so 22 years passed from 1997 till now. Ok 22 years are quite some years, but not a lot of time passed and things changed so much. Well, I was born in 1996 and although I don't remember the pagers, I remember the old mobiles and had ones. Anyway, the point of all this, is that it was nice to remember about my old nokia mobile and sliding LG mobile that had it's screen like a mirror lol + those wide televisions and computers + the tape recorders (I remember using them to record my favourite shows lol :D) And now even CD's are out-dated, cannot believe time passed so quickly, I feel old lol.
Moreover, I like all the cast and characters, very good acting + good chemistry between the leads. I also like the chemistry between the Doctor and the gangster, they're cute as well :3 Also, I like Oh Ji Yeong's family :D
For the songs, I heard English ones, most of them I heard most of my life like barbie girl, macarena, hey mickey, etc. It made me laugh and smile + remember my childhood ^_^
For the downside of this drama. I quite like it generally and enjoyed watching it, however at one point I did put it on hold for 2 weeks and continued it today actually. For me, it got draggy and put it on hold after episode 7.
I had to take a break from it and started to watch other things + I had to fast forward some parts as it felt draggy, especially now in the last 3 episodes. Ok, I'm liking that they are focusing on reviving Vivi company, but I would have felt it complete if they ended it with Oh Ji Yeong winning Miss Korea 1997 competition. For me, 20 eps were too long.
Anyway, it's not bad, I don't regret watching it. I finally decided to watch it after holding it off for 6 years lol. I remember this drama coming out, but I did not want to watch it and although I was kind of right because it did not fully capture my interest, I'm glad I did watch it ^_^ Now off to the last 3 episodes.......
EDIT:
Finished! Great ending :D Their company did well and a happy ending for all couples ^_^
Conclusion:
It was interesting to watch and had great moments like preparing for the beauty pageant, the make-up parts, the work crisis, the couples, the family, etc, but at times it did feel draggy. However, it was not all bad, I recommend to watch this drama :)
currently watching....and on ep 9
It's not bad. It's cute, light, hilarious at times and fluffy with a somewhat dark past of the main lead. Also, I am liking the witch theme which was why I wanted to watch it.
However, although there are only 12 episodes, I am finding it draggy and it did not capture my interest that much. I started to fast forward some parts from ep 5 onwards.
And the leads are kind of stiff together. Ok the kisses were good but they have little chemistry.
Anyway, it's not bad just watch it if you want to watch it.
EDIT:
Finished! I liked the ending :D Also, the last 3 episodes wrapped up everything and told us what exactly happened in the kidnapping case of the main lead and there was nothing spooky about it.
Well, the spooky thing was his mother was actually who kidnapped him because her husband was cheating on her. Yeah her husband was a jerk, but it doesn't mean she could use her son to keep her relationship with her husband! He was going to die but he didn't because the witch grandmas saved him.
Also, the good thing is that the main lead accepted the main actress as how she is :D
Also, the main leads got cuter and better at the end + their kisses were great :D
However, the story got story weird. What was supposed to happen with that actress that was treated like dirt, but then after she was photographed with the main lead and spread rumors that she is with a rich guy, everyone was treating her like royalty? We never got to find out. Actually, I totally forgot about her but I read it in a comment and remember lol.
Conclusion:
Anyway, it's not all bad, I did enjoy it but the story got kind of weird and at times did not make sense, but at least the last 3 episodes, it was explained what happened exactly and a happy ending :D
The kisses were great for once in a high school drama which is rare.
I liked the story about the archery as well.
On the whole not bad, but I expected it to be better, but I think it's ok to watch.
It was a drama that made me laugh, smile, feel happy, be serious, be sad and learned about trains lol ^_^ It was a fun drama to watch :D
In the middle of ep 36.....
Ok the whole thing about the drug and Yibei was blamed for Little One's coma came to light finally. Little One did not want Yibei to leave and go to the Asian team and so she drugged his juice, however she felt guilty and did not give it to him.
Meanwhile, she had confessed to him and he rejected her saying that he will always will see her as a friend and a sister. And so since he felt guilty that he could not reciprocate her feelings, he decided to drink the juice. Therefore, a whole misunderstanding and I don't know what the whole thing was about, but it was kind of simple. I expected something worse or something.
Ou Yang Heng and Lin Zi cleared the misunderstanding towards Yibei as well.
Meanwhile, Qi Rui Feng was injured, apparently it was his fault that he did not treat his injury beforehand. He ignored it until it became serious, it's a shame he won't participate in the finals of the dream cup. At least, he and Yang Yang finally got together and shared a kiss :D Although the kiss was not that great, but they're finally together.
Also, Yibei's old injury acted up since just before the competition he went to save Little One from a car accident (she's prone to car accidents + she needs to learn to look left and right before crossing the road) and he hit his leg exactly where his old injury was.
But he will still participate in the competition, so I will look forward to it and see who will win. Is it Ou Yang Heng or Yibei?
EDIT:
Finished! A nice happy ending :D Yibei was chosen for the asian team and will go to America and Yun Dao will go with him and film the whole training :D
For Little One and Ou Yang Heng , she is accepting him or will try, since he told her that he doesn't mind if he waits more for her since he already waited 4 years.
For Lin Zi and Chang Mei, they might get together as he wants her to go to work at his company and she kisses him saying that she wants to go after him and he seems to not mind it.
Ok, we ended up not knowing who won in the finals of the dream cup competition, but probably Yibei won since he was chosen to go to the Asian team and Ou Yang Heng congratulated him for it and he passed the message through Lin Zi.
Conclusion:
Ok I liked the story in general + the sports theme and media / reporting theme. I liked the main couple and the second couple. For the other couples, thought not official, I'm assuming that they will end up together.
Also, the story was very light, the misunderstandings got solved quickly (excluding the one about Little One, that was the only one that took 4 years to resolve), the couples were all cute, there wasn't any particular villain (Lin Zi and Chang Mei were briefly but changed for the better quickly) and I liked all the characters :D
As I mentioned before, one thing was that it got draggy and boring at one point in the story, and I started to fast forward it. But I did not regret watching it, I'm glad I did :D
Btw, I loved the across the pacific song, it's was awesome :D
For one of the topic discussion; I usually snack on biscuits but when I really love a drama or I'm liking a scene I usually start eating and then forget them lol :P
Nice article btw, I enjoyed reading it ^_^
currently watching and on ep 26......
I like it :D It's very light, cute and there are hilarious moments and moments that make you smile :) The story is good ^_^
The characters are all nice, likable and adorable. You can say that the 'villain' is Yun Dao's best friend Cheng Mei recently as she got jealous of Yun Dao in terms of work and in terms of love. Also, Lin Zi is also a kind of villain as he is also jealous and getting in the way of Yibei and Yun Dao, as he clearly knows that they both like each other but he is still getting in the way.
In this episode, Yibei and Yun Dao kissed :D Finally, it took them long enough. They clearly fell for each other from the beginning, but with all the misunderstandings, people getting in their way like Yibei's coach and Lin Zi, their status as an athlete and a reporter, Yibei's fans and the media got in they way as well, etc, it took them this long. Anyway, they just kissed and the episode ended so we'll see what they will do next.
Another couple I'm looking forward to are Qi Rui Feng and Yang Yang, they're cute as well ^_^ Qi Rui Feng finally noticed Yang Yang and sees her as a woman, it took him some time as well. We'll see when he will tell her or maybe Yang Yang will tell him first, but I doubt it since he had always told her that she is a tomboy, doesn't sees her as a woman, doesn't look good in a dress, etc. Btw, she did look good in a dress, and he clearly saw that she looked good but he told her not. Anyway, he is getting nervous around her which means he fell for her, so we'll see what will happen.
Moreover, I like the sports parts in this drama. I enjoy watching the swimming team of the South train and compete in competitions against other teams, it's nice :D
The downside of it, is that there is a women swimming team and we see them train in the gym or running and they go to training camps with the men's team, etc. But we never get to see them train in the pool. We only see the men's swimming team practice in the pool, not that I'm complaining but I don't get why we were never shown the women's team or at least Yang Yang in the pool practicing. And only 10 episodes left, so I don't think we will see anything.
Also, I like that apart from the swimming parts, we see the reporters side due to Yun Dao. We get to see the main leads trying hard to achieve their dreams in different sectors, swimming for Yibei and being a reporter for Yun Dao + they face obstacles and they overcome them + the best of all, they fall for each other :D
Also, we found out that Yibei was the one who saved Yun Dao 4 years ago, so they're telling us that it's clear that they are made for each other and destined for each other ^_^
Btw, I also loved the song that is played when Yibei is going to swim in a competition and there is tension whether he will win or not and at the end he swims faster and wins. Something 'across the pacific' which I understand since it's in english. Anway, I loved it such a beautiful song and matches the swimming scenes perfectly :D
Ok I have said all the positive parts. One negative comment is that at times it does get draggy or feels boring. To be truthful I started to fast forward from episode 12 onwards and continued to fast forward up till now.
Ok the competitions parts and when Yibei and Yun Dao appear + when Qi Rui Feng and Yang Yang no but other parts or parts that I don't like that much or feel useless yes.
However, I like the story in general and the characters are likeable and awesome + I'm curious what will happen next + there is the background story about Little One that we haven't seen yet. We only got bits and pieces but still no clear thing about what exactly happened to Little One and why Yibei is like being blamed for it + Lin Zi feels angry that Yibei got to restart his like and Little One didn't, etc. We will see that part later on probably.
At the end of episode 11......
The new chief prosecutor was supposed to be clean and good, but he got blinded by success. Also, the special team three he made was corrupted and so he decided to believe the evil ones and got corrupted as well.
Anyway, here they finally decided to be a team and be a family + they also finally decided to make a plan and it worked and they were able to trick their enemies.
EDIT:
At the end of episode 12......
The story got better now that they teamed up, are fighting with a plan and are doing things in a right way.
Also, the new chief prosecutor admitted all the wrong doings of the special team three and took up all the responsibility and resigned. He realized that he was going on the wrong path but he stopped before going any further. I thought that he wouldn't, but he did and everything went well.
The main cast got all released, the innocent people who were framed got released as well + the cases are all being re investigated and also the truth behind the death of Prosecutor Noh was reveled and they made a memorial for him, I'm glad they did that.
And the corrupt people in the special team three got all arrested. That detective guy who was behind all of this should have become a writer or a storyteller. He manages to come up with every little details and plans to frame others + he killed prosecutor Noh = and he got to jail, yay :D
This all thanks to the honesty of the ex-new chief prosecutor.
Ok now in this episode, it seems a happy ending and it would have been nice if it ended in this episode.
BUT there are 3 episodes left, so let's see what will evil scheme will pop up next and now the new team formed (hopefully) will reveal the truth......
EDIT 2:
At the end of episode 14........
Another evil person appears who is the sister of the Mayor. She should have been Mayor.
Anyway, the team all got kicked out as detectives and prosecutors and are now able to collect evidence freely without any warrants, etc.
It was quite funny when they brought them the guy who works under the HS company owner + all the evidences and they were all shocked or amazed + the media reported it that the evidence was given by an anonymous informant.
This was an awesome episode where they worked together, fought with a plan and with reason + managed to nail the bad guys :D I wish that we were shown something like this earlier. We had to wait until episode 12 onward.
Last 2 episodes left.....
EDIT 3:
At the end of episode 15........
The scientific investigation was hilarious, it wasn't any scientific investigation at all lol :D
Anyway, I have a feeling that Jang Sung Cheol dies. They could have wait until the gangsters left to retrieve the bug + the other guy disguising as a waiter should have waited as well or left with the clothes and tell the restaurant he would give them back later or something. That blew up their cover.......
EDIT 4:
Episode 16....
Yep he died, but quick thinking on swallowing the memory card. It was quite sad actually, he knew that he would die.
Thanks to that, they got the mayor, his sister, his niece and the owner of HS companies.
Although the team did well, it is still sad that they started with 7 people and ended up with 3 people of the original team as the rest died. That is sad, but they got the bad guys, so it's a happy ending on that part.
EDIT 5:
At the end of episode 16......
The contract killer from season 1 appeared and the team of season 2 asked him to join them. Maybe a third season will come out......we'll see.
Conclusion:
It wasn't bad on the whole. I liked it more from episode 12 onwards. So I'll give it a 6.5/10.
On episode 8.....
What the heck? Did prosecutor Noh just die? I thought he would be in this drama until the end. Uhh everyone is dying! He was appointed as the leader for the special team and he was just a guy and he got killed......
Meanwhile, the guy who owned HS companies told the truth and he went to jail and the chief prosecutor Lee Myung Deuk was also corrupt and doing worse things. Anyway, he got is as well.
I think the story will shift on something or someone else. We'll see......
EDIT: On episode 9.....
I just can't get into this story. Too many fights. Also, there is no team and now they can work together because their own separate cases are leading to the same person apparently. If I understood well. And they don't want to work together, uhh!
And now they are going after them. Now 2 of them are getting blamed for murders.
Anyway, the story is a mess and I'm just watching to see what will happen + fast forwarding to end it quickly. Whatever happens, happens.........
At the end of episode one.....
It started with a bang + very intense and lots of violence, very different from season one. But I'm still not sure what is going on exactly in the story. The one thing I got is that they are after that guy who owns lots of companies that start with HS and they need to start by getting that killer who I think kills for that guy who owns HS companies. I'm just clueless as Prosecutor Noh.
Anyway, I loved season 1, but I'm still not sure about this second season. But I'm just finished episode 1, so I'll continue watching and maybe I'll understand what's going on.
EDIT:
At the end of episode 3.....
The story is still kind of all over the place + with more violence + the special team are like all crazy people who I think from what I understood, they are using their rage and want revenge.
Also, they're supposed to be the good people, but they are being more bad guys than the bad guys.
Ok in season 1, they were bad guys but we got to know them more, their reasons, etc and I liked them. But in this season, I still haven't warmed up to them and don't like them much yet. I'll watch more and see......
EDIT 2: At the end of episode 5....
I wondered why the investigator and the only woman who was part of them were not listed in the main cast and in the poster. And they were to be killed.
Also, I kind of wondered why the owner of HS companies did not go after them separately. I thought he would go after them and try to kill them much earlier. Anyway, he finally did and managed to kill 2 of them.
I'm still not liking this team that much yet. I don't know what they are going to do next, but according to the preview, they will go after the bad guys + more violence and try to kill the owner of HS companies.
Also, I'm not liking this story that much. Ok, I like to watch violence but with violence that has a purpose or has a plan behind it.
Here in this drama, all I'm seeing is just violence for show or for viewers. Or if you are following the story, this team have no plan at all and they are just angry that they have no evidence on this guy and cannot get him to jail in any way.
Also, they are using violence as they have no other way to use since they cannot do anything to him. Ok we know that he's a criminal and has done many bad things, but it doesn't mean you fall to the same methods he does or do worse. What makes them any better that this guy who owns HS companies? They are no any better than the thugs he has under him. Actually, they are worse since they are supposed to be the good guys.
Anyway, I'll continue watching and see what happens next. I hope they will try to come up with a plan and do not use only violence. If they continue this way, they should just kill him and get it over with, like when Han Gang Joo was trying to stab him. I kinda was rooting for him and to get it over with.
Side comment:
Lol, I think this is my first time I started to comment on a drama after the first episode. I really loved the first season and probably I'm irritated that I'm not liking the second one and I'm trying hard to like it. But with every passing episode, I'm getting more irritated by this team and their methods.
Or maybe I had lots of expectations. That usually happens to me. When I have high expectations I get disappointed. Or maybe I wanted the story in a certain way, but I don't know how I wanted it but I didn't get what I wanted and got disappointed. Well, I'm being too negative, I'll have hope that it will get better.
currently watching and on episode 11.....
Generally I liked the story and the couples. However, in the middle of it, the story got too draggy.
Also, there were too much drama, misunderstandings and useless promises that got in the way of the main couple. I liked them as a couple but Prim was too much of a good person. What's the point of pushing Phu to Vicky when he clearly only cares for Vicky as a sister. Not only is she hurting herself, but also Phu and Vicky + Phu caring for Vicky will get her temporary happiness and misunderstand that Phu likes her and things will get worse.
Anyway, I liked the other couples more. Wat and Boot are adorable, although they haven't got together officially yet, but I liked their interactions and chemistry ^_^ Also, Rita and Touch are adorable together as well :D But his mother is getting in their way.
Also, for Vicky's mother. She is the most selfish and cruel person! Then after all the things she has done (like attempted murder on Prim, did not help Uncle Dam who technically died because of her chasing after him and he fell and hit his head and she did not try to help him at all, Vicky got shot because of her, etc), all of a sudden she made a 360 degrees change and everything is all right and forgotten. I still hope she gets what she deserves and in the end go to jail or something. She's totally crazy and who knows what she will do next because of her jealousy or for her children.
Anyway, the story was not bad, but I would have preferred if the story focused more on the work of the three friends. Ok for Prim we got to see her love for shoes and see her designing and making shoes.
But for her friends Boot and Rita it was until episode 5 or later that we got to know that Rita loved designing and making clothes while Boot's dream was to be an event organizer. Ok you tell me it was early but this lakorn is 12 episodes long with 2 hours each episode. Instead of useless drama I would have preferred to see more about Rita and Boot.
Also, before I began this lakorn I saw three guys and three girls and you immediately know who will end up with whom, but what I got to see in the romance part was a mess.
Ok for Prim and Phu they start to like each other, but for others a mess. Like Wat and Touch liked Prim first. For Wat, he liked Prim for her appearance and Touch liked her because she saved him. Touch then started to like Rita later on. Then Rita liked Wat and then switched to Touch later on. Well Boot liked Wat much later on.
Ok, I get that humans can like a person and then switch to another, but here I kind of wanted the three couples to like each other immediately. Ok maybe I expected too much and got kind of disappointing and irritated but that's me and I'm here complaining so if you liked the romance part don't mind me.
Also, I'm complaining, because of this mess of a romance between the couples, we are barely seeing these three couples together and so I'm annoyed.
Also, I kind of expected the story to be light but it's like semi light and semi serious since we got to see drugs, attempted murders, people getting shot, etc. Also, it was kind of hilarious in the beginning but now because of the drama and all, it's serious and annoying.
Anyway, I'll finish the last episode, but I'm giving it a 6/10. It's not bad but not that great either. Btw, I started to fast forward it from ep 5 onwards for sure.
EDIT: Ep 12 in the middle of it......
Drama till the end. They pressured Phu to marry Vicky because of her selfishness and good acting. She learned well from her mother. Apparently Vicky was healed a long time ago and acted all crazy to get Phu to marry her uhh!
EDIT 2: Ep 12 at the end.....
Ok liked the end of episode 12, it was a happy ending for everyone + couples.
Phu and Prim got married + Prim is working as a shoe designer in P. Paul company as she wanted. Pong and Vee had their child and are happy together. Wat and Boot did well in their company. Rita and Touch got married and are working together and Rita is designing children's clothes. Vicky's mum paid for her wrong doings and is doing good things. Vicky went to study abroad and got a boyfriend and is happy.
It was a 360 change again in the story, but anyway we got a happy ending :) Btw, my favorite couple is Wat and Boot :D Also, I forgot to mention that I liked the relationship between the three friends; Prim, Boot and Rita. They're so cute and were like a family and helped each other in many ways ^_^
Conclusion:
I will still give it 6/10 as there was too much drama and too draggy. I had to fast forward to finish it and finally it's over.
But on the whole it was not bad and liked it. Just watch it if you are curious about it or don't know what to watch and happen to come across this lakorn.
