5 episodes in, and I'm really enjoying this drama. It's one of the best Kdramas I've watched this year. I have to say I'm glad I don't live in a country where a person's spouse is treated almost like their property, rather than a person who can choose for themselves who they want to be with.

Now that I've finished it, here are my thoughts. It is a well written and well acted drama, but it isn't an easy watch, and it is slow at times. I found it emotionally draining watching Son Ji Eun suffer episode after episode. If I had a dollar for every time she apologised, I'd be rich. The drama had a LOT of flashbacks … too many for my liking, and I found myself skipping through them sometimes. The last episode seemed a bit rushed to me, as everyone got their happy ending, including the villains. I would have preferred Jung Woo and Ji Eun to get together before the final minute of the final episode so I could see them living happily together to compensate me for some of the emotional energy spent watching them both suffer for the majority of the previous episodes. My score: 8½/10.

Episode 17: Wow!
It's one of the best single episodes of a drama that I have ever watched.

Yeah - she's been in lead roles in KDramas for a few years now, which is how I define A-list. So I'm 99.9% confident that she won't do nudity. If there is any known actress in the cast who *might* strip, it would be Nana, as she has made a real effort to market herself as sexy in recent times. If there even is nudity in the drama (and we don't even know if there will be), its most likely to be either a relatively (or completely) unknown actress wanting to kick start their career, or a less successful actresses hoping to give their career a boost. And of course then we have potential body doubles or CGI.

Not every actor in their mid to late 20s can convincingly pull off being a high school student. Zhang Jing Yi is one of those who definitely can.

It should be a law that every writer who includes Noble Idiocy into their script should be flogged. It is such tired, boring old trope that has been overused a thousand times over. Surely some writer somewhere can come up with something a little more creative than to just use Noble Idiocy AGAIN.

How many have you watched?

As a rule, Korean A-list actresses don't do nudity, so its very unlikely she will strip for this role.

I really enjoyed the Chinese original, so I'm looking forward to this remake. PMY is perfect for Noona romances, so I hope she does more of them.

LOTS of your comments are VERY spoilery. Please tick the "Spoiler" box for every comment you make that contains spoilers.

Chinese writers seem to be unable to write a character who is aloof and distant without turning him into a misogynistic piece of shit.

This really was an excellent and quite unique drama.
