You're attitude is disgusting. I'm glad I don't have to meet you in real life. It's great that you expirieced such a beautiful love while 90% of people say what generally happens in dramas is not real, that's why they enjoy it - to be able to dream. That's the sole reason most stories even exist. So you experienced such a romantic, beautiful and perfect love with the result that you became a human being that feels the need to lecture others and ridicule them? You're whole post is offensive. You seem arrogant. I applaude you! At least such a love was not wasted on you. Maybe you should write a book one day and think about what you can write and not what has been written before. So your point of view may get bigger.

You will teel me it's impossible to objectively rate the acting skills of an actor? Sure, that's your OPINION. Let's not try to shove it down throats (especially when it's so wrong). Children this days ... sigh.

I like him, he is cute and works hard. But there are many better actors out there. Compare him to Ji Chang Wook for example. The difference in acting skills and charm is huge.

I wonder what makes you the expert for young romance. Btw I didn't say Secret Garden or Coffee Prince was an example for realistic young romance. I said that about weightlifing fairy. You know that nothing was realistic about Healer, do you?. Again, Secret Garden or Coffee Prince wasn't realstic either. But Healer was more a superhero movie than anything else. Funny how JCW was able to jump from a building and make a roll forward like it was nothing. And of course the two leads had a (tragic) past that somehow linked them together, becasue that never happend before in any korean drama or movie. Why are you baffled? You said yourself some people think Healer was boring.

"Best realistic young romance EVER. " I somehow can't get over that. Really? I prefer the romance in "Secret Garden", or, what i discovered lately, the friednship-to-lovers-story in "Weightlifting fairy" (if you want to talk about "realistic young love"), or the mentioned "Coffee Prince" or or or. Healer cannot be no 1 with such a boring female lead, sorry.

If you want to know what's the best Kdrama I have ever seen: It's City Hall. Good acting, intelligent storyline, no cheesy romance, no overly dramatic backgrounds for the sake of being dramatic. Talking about Ji Chang Wook: His movie "Fabricated City" was great. I loved every second. About Suspicious Partner: the case isn't suspensful, sorry. Who cares who killed that guy? I don't. I'm watching Goblin at the moment and I like it. I wonder how long ...

"You don't sound like a fan of KDramas period" Well, you may be right there. I look for realistic stories and most KDramas are overly dramatic. The backstory in Healer (the tragic past of both leads) was one I have seen in KDrama hundred million times. That's why I call it "uninspired". Also I didn't like how they potrayed the female lead as a damsal in distress later on. As a psychologist I always shake my head in disbelief how they potray psychological disorders or psychic trauma in such dramas. I watchd Empress Ki. Or I tried. The gender bender thing was ridiculous when you saw from a mile away Ha Ji Won was a woman and not a man. You cannot take this serious, can you? I prefer Coffee Prince where we all now it's just for fun. Storywise K2 was the best of Ji Chang Wook dramas I have seen until now, but how they focused on the cheesy love between K2 and Anna was not a good choice from the writers. On a sidenote: Why are you offended? Everyone has a different opinion.

"My lovely Sam Soon" and "Secret Garden" were the only hits he ever had to be honest. Maybe he likes the script? Who knows. It's not always about success.

I'm the same as Karinna. I love Ji Chang Wook, great actor, but until now I wasn't able to finish even ONE of his dramas. It's not his fault, it's the writers fault. Dramas like Healer and K2 started out incredible strong, but became boring and uninspiring after some episodes. I somehow managed to watch Suspicious Partner until episode 9, but I guess that was it.

I'm very surprised that so many people love this. I'm biased because I'm not so much into historical dramas, but ... honestly ... isn't it depressing? Seeing how Ji Chang Wook is constantly longing for Ha Ji Won's love was breaking my heart. And even though I love Ji Chang Wook, his character in this drama was not very lovable, same goes for Ha Ji Won. She appeared so stubborn and had not much character beside that. I admit there was something about this drama that lures you in, but at the end I just felt incredible frustrated. It's beyond me how someone can finish this with a good feeling in his heart.

There was nothing wrong with his acting, I think it's the script. The character was supposed to be so annyoing. Later on, in more emotional and serious scenes, you can see how intense the acting is.

Such a great actor. I hope he will do more action/thriller/drama series in the future. His potential is wasted on a typical romance drama where he only has to act cute. He is so talented.

Not a good actor and he ruined his face with the nose job. Sorry, but that's the truth.

I coudn't agree more. I watched it because of all the good things I heard about it. It started out incredible strong, but soon I discovered the girl is a typical damsel in distress who needs protection from the superhero. Not to mention that the whole back story was very typical too. I have seen too many korean dramas and movies to be surprised by all the traumatic occurrences in someone's past. The romance was very cute though.

I think I watched only two episodes. I liked the older cast more and wanted to see how that played out (one of them had a daughter I think), but then they went back and it was suddenly a highschool love story. At that time I just didn't feel like watching a young love blossom lol. Maybe I'll give it another try. The music was phenomenal though.

It depends on what you like. Maybe it's just me, but I feel they are completely different (acting, storytelling, production). I would look at trailers and summaries and then decide.

Boundary Crossing was very cliche, but they somehow managed to make it not cheesy and not cringy. The natural acting helped a lot I guess. Well, you cannot reinvent the wheel.

I have heard about Red Ballon. I love the music! But it was a turn off for me that we saw their young and older selfs. The actors were so different, I felt like watching different pairing. It just didn't work for me (I'm talking about the right show, don't I?)

Do you know a BL that's not cliche and predictable? I would like to watch it.

I know the story about the brothers, but there was a scene when they sat together on a table with the girl and she thanked Yuhao for saving her. He then pointed to the younger brother and said: "It was him asking me to save you". I even went back watching this twice. Did I get that wrong? But well, it doesn't matter.

I'm not offended, no worry. I don't care if they are bisexual or gay. But I do care if they are I'm-only-gay-for-you, because that is very unrealistic. That just doesn't happen in real life. Maybe it's a one in a million thing. In BL stories it is so common that you get the impression it's the most normal thing in the world. I never met a person who was in a relationship with the same sex and wasn't at least bisexual. Also it's very unlikely that so many young people in a school are open about their sexuality and nobody has a problem with it. Series like "Make it Right" or "2moons" are irritating me because of this (though I somehow liked MIR). I mean, come on! There is no place on earth, where beging gay isn't difficult. If I watch my BL story I don't want to watch bullying at school - don't get me wrong. But how they handle this topic in some asian BL stories is just cheesy and unrealistic. Talking about Boundary Crossing: It seemed extremly odd to me that the brothers were showing their love so openly at the end of the series considering they were brothers (even though not blood related). That's a pretty big tabu! I wonder how their parents take this. Boundary Crossing was supposed to be a lighthearted story, and I'm glad it was. But like you said, the brothers were only included because of eye candy (especially Patrick, this guy has such a beautiful face!). The relationship feels shallow and was constantly reminding me that I watch a typical BL series where everyone and his dog has to be gay. Also why do they use most of the time hetero actors? Because there aren't enough gay actors maybe? That's the final proof that being gay isn't so common. My guess is that people enjoy seeing gay action between clearly heterosexual guys more. To sum it up: The potrayal of homosexuality is completely unrealistic in such series which normally don't bother me. I'm criticizing this series, because it was THAT good. I really enjoyed the series, I just thought the brother relationship was not needed.
