As you point out, leaving public comments means being able to dealt with what came after, so you should get used to the idea that someone may think that your way to express your opinion is not polite and can be considered an offense, just as I cannot tell you whether it is appropriate to respond or not, you cannot tell me whether or not it is appropriate to feel offended. Your comments, including the latter offended me and made me upset. Everything is rather annoying if you consider that it is stuff that I wrote two years ago, who knows what the hell was going through my mind that day when I wrote it, and yet you are here two years later to lecture me about it. You also interpreted my comment to your liking and you are blaming me for errors that you believe I committed. If it is not presumptuous, what is it?

I find a bit presumptuous to respond to a two-year-old comment, to point out that I did not correctly interpret the character of Ryu because I misunderstood the genre, specially when in my past comment I already specified and admitted that I thought it was a thriller but it wasn't.
The thriller genre is still present in the details of the drama and my comment has been made to warn future viewers of what they should expect by watching this drama, without going into too much detail to avoid spoilers.
I appreciate your interpretation of Ryo's character but I think your comments would be more useful if reformulated as a review than in response to my comment, which was very generic about the whole drama.
Despite my general idea of the drama, RYO remains one of my favorite roles.
I don't think Tammy is indecisive. She was firm from the start about what kind of future she wanted. She never…
I am not talking about her idea of marriage, I am talking about the fact that every 2 episodes she is pondering if stay in the relationship or not. Last episode just because she saw him with the pianist. She use futile excuse to question her relationship constantly. At first it was ok but now we are at ep 14.
First episode was good but second episode is already a filler, same ghost tricks to bring the boy at the hotel, at first it was fun but halfway through the episode I was bored to death. Maybe it’s their campaign to make you reserve a room at hotel del Luna.
The thing about watching an OCN drama series is that they will always throw a tangled yarn at you right off the…
I wrote a long comment but push the wrong button and delete it. Damn!
Well to put it short, I agree on all you have said. A tangled plot revealed hint by hint is what make a great crime-thriller. The secret is to not exaggerate with the tangle and keep a bit of thrilling/action. Let’s see if watcher can keep up with OCN quality.
I love Shin Hyesun too. She is so talented! ^^Can you please spoil me the ending (romance-wise)?
near the reply there is a triangle , click on it, edit and flag the spoiler box. if you are on the app you need to press on your comment to make the edit menu appear.
The plot is not perfect and it has up and down moments but overall, despite a few clichés, it's innovative and well written. From a light mystery romance it turned into something deeper and melancholy, but without giving up a few moments of romantic comedy. The great performance of the cast brought on the screen all this deep emotions, portraying perfectly their roles and the story. A wonderful soundtrack close the deal. The theme of ballet used in this drama has expressed perfectly the main theme, love can be beautiful and powerful but also hard to accomplish and sad. The ending also fit perfectly with the message of the drama, to truly love means to sacrifice oneself for those one loves, but the sacrifice will be repaid. I am not a believer but I think it is an adequate ending also in religious terms.
I never been a fan of Shin Hye Sun but her performance was brilliant, also "L" for being a newbie did a really good job, specially considering that his rival on screen was Lee Dong Gun. I also never been a fan of ballet but I loved it in this drama as I loved the whole idea about angels. The mystery part about the villains was a bit too draggy maybe less "drama" and only 12 episodes would be better.
I can't say this is a perferct drama but it deserved to be watch.
I didn't enjoy it as other people did. This is not a sageuk but a makjang, a long, boring and draggy revenge perpetrated by endless political scheming. The revenge plot took all the screentime, there is no space for secondary charcaters story, nor for characters development and little time is dedicated to the love story. The three mains lead fail on every department, specially the cry baby Yuan Emperor. The writer used every kind of trick to drag the plot and more than once my intellect was insulted. Despite an interesting start and a few good moments, overall it was a big disappointment and definitely overrated or hyped. If you want more details you can read my review.
Unless you love makjang and can overcome lazy writing don’t watch it. Out of 51 episodes only a few episodes are actually interesting, the rest is just filler.
I was expecting something stronger like The Man From Nowhere but it turn out to be one of those strange movies where there is little story and characters development, you get the whole point of the movies through the actions of the protagonist and only thanks to the end. Great action, bleeding fight and soundtrack.
Reminds me to never piss her off. XD
