I looked forward to seeing MSR for months. I did not hate the first episode, and I liked the second one better. The series has some skinship, and Sung Hoon, a hilarious secretary side-kick (and the budding romance between this secretary and a woman of cleavage who works in the female lead's department), and a lovely little boy who's not a half-bad actor.
This is the complete summary of this drama's good points; other than these, there is nothing to recommend this show which is much more boring than it should be, repetitive and hackneyed.
Sung Hoon oppa can kiss, but even if he was kissing for 13 hours, this show still wouldn't be worth it.
The male lead in Across The Ocean to See you, rocks the gentle prince charming role too!
He did. He was mostly adorable. Except for the times when he was soft to the point of being an idiot. There was more than once where his gentleness bordered on cringe-worthy. But hey. I like me some bad boys.
Just the other day, I was feeling sad that Viki had stopped airing lakorns before I got the chance to see the ones I most wanted. But then it dawned on me that if you've seen any ten, you can't feel too broken-hearted that you can't see the other 90 that are just like 'em.
The side couple in "Oh Hae Young" was the funniest thing I saw last year. They were so utterly wrong and hilariously awkward. If I wasn't watching that drama again for the best kdrama kiss of all time, I'd have been watching it anyway for the side couple.
Hahaha, I dislike all of the character traits you mentioned but now i just wanna check some of these dramas out.
Yes, indeed. And in "Black Devil and White Prince" (the movie), he pulls her hair so that he can bite her ear. It was sweetly erotic, as is the entire film.
This is only for those who enjoy slap/kiss lakorn. It's not my usual subbing genre but I've decided…
I would like to add my thanks to you for your hard work. Thank you so very much for doing it. I'm so glad to have the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate it--thanks for posting here.
The #1 reason NOT to watch dramas while they're airing is the interminable wait for subs. This is not a problem usually for dramas that are licensed by the major drama sites, but you're going to need a shitload of patience to wait for a current J-drama to be subbed, or even a C-drama that isn't picked up the majors. Scum's Wish, for instance, only has 10 episodes, it finished airing a week ago, and only 7 episodes of it are subbed (which is pretty fast for a J-drama, really.)
oh dear god the characters in this lakorn are stupid. And manipulative. But really stupid. Did I say that the characters were stupid? Because I'd hate to leave that out. Example: the second female lead is raped by the second male lead, who then lies to her about the motives of the first female lead. And does our second female lead believe her rapist instead of the first female lead who warned her about the second male lead? Why, yes. Yes, she does. Stupid.
Egad, it's nutty as Snickers bar. Off the rails in an unintentionally hilarious way. Over the top, with a hint of 50 Shades. I must watch every episode.

The characters, especially women, are completely simplistic/black-or-white. They're either evil cunning bitches, or bodice-clutching saints.
