I gave secret love affair a 9 because the story was well polished. I also loved the music aspect of it, especially when yoo ah in's character played the piano with kim hee ae's character, the chemistry was burning 🔥🔥🔥🔥 The only reason why I withheld the 1 was because she went to jail in the end. And though yoo ah in promised to wait for her, she didn't get out till the drama ended, that's my only complaint.
I agree, it could have been way better, but it's not all bad as it had the romance, although it's a slight one. But I'd say it's better than nothing.
No matter how iron made park si woo might appear, he'll later soften. Love will eventually soften the guy cause love is the 'achilles heel' of most people.
I agree, he had awesome chemistry with most actresses, especially the older ones. And even where he portrayed…
I get what you mean. He has this chemistry with all the actresses he's work with, it's a chemistry that one couldn't overlook. But now he's the ML. So, ending up with the FL is certain.
I agree, he had awesome chemistry with most actresses, especially the older ones. And even where he portrayed the SML and supporting character, one could see the chemistry he had with each dramas FL.
He always plays weak male characters who are huge crybabies
You are right. I've watched more than 4 of his dramas already, and he cried in all of them. He sure knows how to portrayed being a crybaby really well.
There is no comedy here just little It gave more of melodrama vibes in QOT and I think it all depends on the script…
I started watching kdramas in 2012 and looking back, it's been 11 years already.
Me too, the guy can really act, plus he's also very handsome. You should really try more of his dramas, here are some lists of his dramas that I've watched; Boys over flower, the heirs, city hunter, the legend of the blue sea, and the king eternal monarch. Among all these recommendations, "city hunter and the king eternal monarch" were my favorites!!
There is no comedy here just little It gave more of melodrama vibes in QOT and I think it all depends on the script…
Wow, what a coincidence! Boys over flower was also one of my first dramas. Was it 12 or 11 years ago when I watched it? LMH and KSH are among my favorite actors.
There is no comedy here just little It gave more of melodrama vibes in QOT and I think it all depends on the script…
Yes, his acting is top tier. I watched "my love from the star" ten years ago, and it also happened to be my first time of watching his drama. And wow, his acting caught my eye!
There is no comedy here just little It gave more of melodrama vibes in QOT and I think it all depends on the script…
Yes, I agree. This drama ought to have a melodrama tag. KSH crying scenes are always heartbreaking, he always have the right facial expressions for every scene.
Why does kim soo hyun cry in most of his dramas? METS, MLFTS, IOTNBO, he cried in all those dramas. And he's doing the same thing in queen of tears. I've noticed that most of KSH roles are emotional, even when the drama has a comedy genre.
Those were my reasons for giving secret affair a 9 even though it's having a rating of 7.7 on MDL. 7.7 is too low of a rating to give it. I felt the reality in the story, especially the awesome and realistic acting of kim hee ae and yoo ah in.
Yes, good casting would have been better if romance was the main plot, but I guess the writer wanted to focus more on her life as an agent more than her romance life. But I have little complaints about this drama, at least the first two leads weren't separated at the end.
Since you gave oh my lady such a high rating, the content must be quite something. And you are right, I think she stopped appearing in dramas after marrying, but it shouldn't be. An actress shouldn't allow anything to stop her career, even if that's marriage.
Try 'Go Ahead'... The mother there is far worse than the mother here... But the drama is showing the real behaviour…
Really? " I thought the meddling of the FL's mother in best choice ever is the worst I've seen. But now you are telling me Go ahead mother's meddling is far worse? Yes, Asian moms are quite meddlesome. Maybe they are forgetting the fact that their children are no longer kids. And grown up children only needs advice, and not the unnecessary middlings of their moms.
Just started watching this drama, and the start was awesome. Loving every moment of it. I'm only halfway through with episode 2, but I already noticed the meddlesome FL's mother. I've watched many urban cdramas but it's the first time I'm seeing such a meddlesome mother.
10 years is not huge, especially as it's 30s and 40s
I guess you are right. They had many chances for their relationship to bloom romantically but it was just not headed in that direction. The story was wonderful but the end is somehow. I'm hoping to see more noona romance drama scheduled to air soon!!
That's the problem of MDL sometimes. There are quite a number of shows that deserved higher ratings but ended up with low ratings or probably average. I've also watch some shows that are overrated in which the contents doesn't correlate with the high rating. There's a drama that's highly rated, and not just highly rated, it's one of the highest rated dramas on MDL. The title is "moving", no matter how hard I tried to watch this drama I just couldn't make it pass episode 5 everytime.
Since you gave it a 9, then it must be an interesting drama. Furthermore, I read its synopsis, and judging from your detailed summary, it looks promising. I'll be adding it to my watchlist, and will be watching soon. I hope I like it as much as you liked it!!!
Choi kang hee is a wonderful actress, her fighting scenes were awesome. And you wouldn't believe she's an actress in her late 40s if you didn't check her profile. She killed her role as agent baek chan mi. I loved her decisiveness, her fearlessness, and what I loved most about her is her formidable part whenever she's on a mission. And you are right, if she were the second lead and was given the role of a police officer, she'd definitely make sure to catch kim joon. And she won't just be capturing him, he might end up with a broken nose if he resist her arrest.
Lee sang hyeob is an awesome actor, I loved his role in "Eve". And whether he plays the ML or SML, he's always selfless, and I've only seen him playing the good guy in most of his dramas I've watched.
Alchemy of Soul's is one of those few dramas that's deserving of its high ratings. And you are right, their chemistry was indeed one of the best one I've seen. I think the wonderful story and acting earned it its worldwide fame.
I was telling you the truth when I said your review is a detailed one, and many would find it helpful. Your review deserved the likings it got. I'd say it deserves more!!
And though yoo ah in promised to wait for her, she didn't get out till the drama ended, that's my only complaint.

He also has an upcoming drama, but the airing date is still unknown.
