Great actors, nicely woven storyline & phenomenal chemistry between GHJ & GY - wow! Heck of a subject matter, totally handled with decorum&taste; by two well-cast actors... on my top 10 list and YES for re-watchable!
If you are a foodie, this movie uses food as the skinship replacement and lots of great scenes of awesome looking food being consumed by very hungry people on so many levels woven with some great humor. Was hesitant about seeing bitchy LSK however her bitchy, is a bit more itchy in this series and she just loves food and ????. Scene stealers:1) the dog who acts & wants to be a dog if only her owner didn't use it as an accessory. 2)the FOOD!
Ok - all bets are off up to ten, the secret feelings in these characters is as heavy as an elephant and yet the classic nobleness has taken a run. One ep to go and feels like we are back at the beginning.
Not sure how I missed this drama and laughs. A solid must see for Kdrama fans. If you're looking for a strong female lead and stomach laughing pains watch this series, all good actors and great chemistry with all roles. This series deals with a multitude of societal & workplace issues, thus easy to relate too.
DtrX1.0 was an exceptional surprise series for me. DM role was a standout female character in the sea of J-Kdrama roles much to my approval (haha). DtrX2.0 is even better since she is surrounded by nastier, greedier, and lowest moral characters making her her role standout more. This series speaks to the global concern of HC vs $$ or lifes worth saving or NOT. YR is ideal for this role portraying a brilliant, sexy, confident, aggressive & assertive professional, who just happens to be one hell of a doctor - who loves mahjong & food!
Gave this a try again - nope not another 50ep of beastly MIL, craven mothers,lost-weak-beatendown women and boy children. The drop card was that evil grandmother from BestLee is still evil & mean, talk about type casting.
Ok, why 50eps of beastly - craven people, just go for 11eps, we get the idea...
So far, surprisingly good. If you've seen Sabrina, American classic with HBogart, KHepburn this movie is just very similar yet Japanese style and modernized. The soundtrack is a combination of Breakfast at Tiffanys, Sabrina, and Affair to Remember - very appropriate & important for this movie's storyline.
Why does it feel like King of dramas? :D but I will keep watching it...so far I like it :)
Just started - see similarities of DramaKing & American Classic of 'Sabrina'. Something reminds me Lovers in Paris... Let's see where this goes. Loved this actress in akumu chan.
Both take place in vintage- antique neighborhood bookstores/cafes; thus bonus 8pts. Both handle mystery's dished out by their bookish clients. Biblia is more mystery with a budding maybe romance; while Bandwagon is narrated by the spirit of the grandmother of the bookstore clan watching over the store and family. Both are family orientated and present family life and all its drama. Well-done drama with solid actors and storylines. Give either a try!
Ok – watched ep1 & was disappointed since the lead has a smexy, brooding, and insightful onscreen demeanor…
@Chimai- I'm all for breaking out of shells, just be sure it doesn't type cast you as something less desirable or worthy of your capability. I know I'm in minority on this drama since all comments & high regard fans have about the actor(s). Oh well, that's why there many dramas too choose.
Just finished ep1 - interesting story. Genius-introvert girl solves problems via deductive & mathematical reasoning. Love this policemens'car- just a bit of compensation? Best of this was watching her win the poker game... Will watch more - found eng subbed on http://drama.net
@ruba1029 - Really liked Chilling Romance since MS ended, a great comparable. As for others, agree with you review, light airy and not complex, always watching HB is a treat.
Ok – watched ep1 & was disappointed since the lead has a smexy, brooding, and insightful onscreen demeanor displayed in his other roles. Sadly, he is NOT any of the above, he’s playing a bumbling, man-child. The storyline was ok-Blah, so I decided to watch ep2 to see if gets better. More man-child antics (so unbecoming for the actor) and ok-eek storyline. The saving grace in viewing is the scenery of Seto Islands – not in the story. Another seaside Dtr story was “Town Dtr Jumbo” – storyline, acting and actors were humorous, sarcastic all within the bounds tackling rural HC and monopolistic HC systems. Give Jumbo a try… this Seaside adventure is not worth the trip.
Kdrama land is frenzied over Heirs boys... Would like to see anyone of the flowerboys take on a man role like a SJS or LBS. Hope to see them an drama that allows them to be in mature roles to see if they can create a stir-act beyond HS antics storyline. I'm sure this comment stir something else up.
This is one of the stupidest dramas ever to me...still I watch it once it's subbed...I've every reason to drop…
I am a fan of AllAbtRom due to the uncomplicated storyline and mature actors/leads dealing in the politics of love. The male lead is not attractive at first Then BAM he smiles and he's handsome rather smexy combined with great chemistry of his female lead. All in all, this was a distant comparable to City Hall which is another level Yet a politics of love with much better writing. The added bonus was only 16eps!
Ok, why 50eps of beastly - craven people, just go for 11eps, we get the idea...
