Thank you for your comment and the support. Love the feedback.

I like her and intimate scenes are possible when the director, and actor work with the actress to make her comfortable and only a limited crew are present.

Liv,

The amusement park and haunted house scene appears to be everyone's idea of comedy. I just thought he looked ridiculous playing a scared 40 year old man. He looked unreal. No actor could have pulled off that part even with their experience, as it was so badly written.

Even if the characters did not go nude, I found it to be very unoriginal. I love your comment about how KYK Seo Do-Young and Shin Ha-Kyun having more chemistry.

KYK was loosing weight for this drama but he did not show much in TCOMH he has in other dramas that are non-netflix based.

Rom-Coms can be written for older men -think Something's Gotta Give and It's Complicated. And then you can have older romantic men - think Alan Rickman's portrayal of Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility and the cast in Love Actually. A KYK as C.B. with wit and comical timing would be awesome. O, and another actor whom he should explore is David Niven who always portrayed wealthy male characters with dry, mature and witty humor. And here is an interesting note, Ian Fleming used his suave personna as the inspiration for James Bond and wanted him to play the part. So he is far from too wimpy to explore.

"Seems like you have difficulty grasping complex, contradictory and paradoxical concepts, and I talk all paradox and contradictions, so it is confusing to you. Nothing is black or white - everything is like yin-yang synbol AND constantly moving..."

Seems because I do not agree with you, its OK to insult me. Talk about arrogance. You seriously fancy yourself as some expert. And as for the rest of your response - it has NOTHING to do with what is being discussed.

O my GOD! I cringed that the airport scene. I could not watch it. I was gobsmacked and people love it. The haunted house, the amusement park, the party hats, the headbands at the park, hanging with chip n dale (as if they were 8) - that is what my nieces did at 8 - and as teens they'd wack me i told them take a photo. O, and the flower headbands and stuffed toys - what the hell was all that!!! O my GOD everything you are saying I have echoed. Going to post my review Liv in a couple of days and am so happy I have found a like minded person...even the attempts like the "getting trapped in the plane lavatory" or her falling over his nude body did not elicit a laugh. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal did it so much better. And the height and bodyframe contrast did nothing for me....it worked against me but the public loved it and Chae So Bin said this gave them 50% of their chemistry. Let me add both say they have 1000/100 chemistry.

@Liv - did you say the "rom-com" - I tried to like it but I was gobsmacked at the juvenile writing and his portrayal of a 12 year old trapped in the body of a man. Such a disappointment.

JKJ does not work with major ML and prefers to work with ordinary looking males - look at her resume.

It does. However, it is up to the actors to be aggressive in wanting to work together and producers who want to bank on the pairing again.

Totally agree with you! People though seem to find him attractive and I cannot understand what they see in him. I know they want him as ML in a rom-com but why with her - they do not look good together and this drama seems very dry and ridiculous with him as some "know it all medical expert." I would love to see Jin Ki Joo work with some fo these actors or some of these actors again. I'd add a couple Lee Jun Hyuk, Lee Dong Wook, Gong Yoo, Ju Ji Hoon, Jo In-Sung, and some older actors like So Ji-Sub and Song Seung -heon. She seems to prefer working with actors who look like young boys and not particularly attractive with a couple of exceptions like Kim Young Kwang, Seo Kang Joon. Whatever suits her kissing taste. Love the actress. Disappointed in her ML choice.

What's your problem? You are the one who jumped in attacking my post when I spoke up that he needed to be cast with height appropriate actresses and you could not stand that comment. Are you short and think that perhaps that might be attack on you as you might harbor some romantic fantasy of him fancying you and my comment just trashed that illusion? I seriously don't understand why you are so upset and argumentative on an issue that does not need to be argued unless this is personal.

Actresses are always open to doing roles if these are offered to them: Lee Sung Kyung, Jin Ki Joo, to name a few, and there are so many more tall actresses out there. You are arguement is that there are none and that’s why this actress was chosen. Well that’s sheer nonsense.

Perhaps where you are residing but not in everyone's world.

Nope and she has such a tiny frame - it looks weird. At least she better than Park Bo Young who looked like a little girl.

Following my logic he would be working with height appropriate actresses and there are certainly more than just Claudia Kim. Yes, I am aware of these two dramas where the casting director applied some common sense. It is pity that it is not found in all and your defense and excuses don't help.

Agreed. I could pay of my house and have a lot of spare change left over!

I read the Webtoon and it was awful.Not funny. The guy is supposed to be a pure, virginal man, who is unkissed and in his mid-30s while she is supposed to be pleading with him to set up a contract where she can experience physical intimacy so she can write about intimacy since he is the first man she has not electrocuted. I like both actors but this is not the vehicle I would have cast either of them in - they do not look good together; she is half his height and looks like a little girl next to him. I do not know why K-dramas insist on giving him leading women who are half his height forcing him to bend over to have to kiss them. Looks ridiculous but hoping the best for both.

Father kidnapped her because he tried to con Greenland with the sale of the land and as a result needed to escape so he took the daugher with him.

And it still did not save it.

Midway and then broke again. The Love Triangle, a traditional need for every K-drama was boring and unnecessary but what Kdrama producers and writers think is necessary because they have nothing else to offer.

Excellent observation. Total more of a drama.
