Random Series

Not if they are done, and written well.
I mean the leads problems are ordinary as well. At heart, they are facing what many couples face, and they are on a journey of re-discovering their love.
There are many great series with very ordinary problems. It is all about writing and excutions.
I simply don't find the writing exciting, or engaging outside the main couple.

The end of episode 5 (not the epilogue, although that was cute, but I actually guessed it) was amazing. This was my favourite scene of the entire series.
Finally, some heart to heart exchange with an excellent ending.
I hope this should clear out the divorce thing even if she finds out like we all suspect.

I must say though, that the ending kind of papered over the cracks. The episode as a whole is not that great. It is too long, and a lot of it didn't hold my interest.
The series continue to be a tale of two halves. When the leads are on, it is fantastic, but almost everything else is a meh.
I wish this series was toned down in scope and running time. She could have been for example the owner of successful business (still richer and more powerful than him) with fairly regular family with regular problems.
Then we would have a tighter and more focused narrative.
As things stand, It is much closer to 7 than to 8.

Apart from the natural thing that she is older now, she is playing very different role.
I had a similar reaction when I watched My Liberation Notes.

After 8 episodes
I think this drama would have been much more known if it was on Netflix.
I am loving the tone, pacing, and the message of it. And the romance is SO nicely calm and heartwarming.
I just hope that one day the ML role would be played by a deaf actor.

After 6 episodes I am really liking it. A romance for the grown ups.
Also, watching this one, you don't only pick up some korean, but korean sign language as well.
Who says that watching dramas is waste of time? lool

This series needed to be slow in my opinion.
This was its strength. The dialogues and inner thoughts are amazing.
This writer has an amazing way with words, and we are reading subtitles. This must be even better in original.

In case you haven't watched her masterpiece "My Mister", then you must do.

The character is certainly not perfect, but I thought the actress was brilliant.
She was my favourite in this series.

lol.
That scene was SO out of character and out of tone, it is very jarring.
But, hey, I guess the guy was trying worship her lol.

I just wish they had more of the Queen trying to seduce hwajin..lool. That would have been such a comic gold.
Everytime I remember the "Pyjama party" invitation I can't stop laughing.

Yes.
I also loved the growing affection between the Queen and her maids.

Can I agree with @Ms Superman and you at the same time? lol

I think lots of characters that are interesting in dramas you don't want to have much dealing with them in real life lol.

Of course that is based on the assumption that everyone logs the drama they watch.
Also, there is a ton of juvenille behviour here. There is nothing stopping anyone to create multiple accounts to manipulate the data. And possibly other things.

So, in conclusion, I would say these stats shouldn't be taken too seriously. Just a very rough idea.

Fair enough. It is true that it depends on prefrences.

In theory this is correct, and I laregly agree if you have a neutral feelings toward the actor.
But, it is much harder if you don't like the actor.
I agree it is a bit shallow, but sometimes you just can't control your feelings :)
Peronally, I like kim Soo Hyun very much (not my top Korean actor, but certainly high), but I must confess that I have an issue with another fairly famous actor, but I won't mention his name lol.

I would say IOTNBO is better than this one on pretty much every level apart from acting which is equally good here. How many episodes you have watched?
I am NOT sayong QoT is bad. I am enjoying it very much, but IOTNBO is better imo.
Even Chemistry. KSH & KJW have great chemistry, but I still think he had more with Seo Yea Ji. Finally it has great acting by Oh jung Se.(his cameo in this series was great to watch)

Fair enough.
All good :). I am happy to continue the discussion, but I am at work now lol.

I amended my reply, because I felt it was too long :)

I am not responsible for other people, and what they say to you.
But, I don't feel I said anything that suggests I am "blindly following" someone.
You stated an opinion. I replied politely, and didn't accuse you of anything.
I am I afraid it is you, in your reply to me that suggest I am blindly following actors, and I can't take positive criticism, and I have to accept something.
Just take a moment please, and reflect. Who is the one who can't take criticism?

The writer is a woman.
This is not unique actually. I must admit that I didn't lookup the disease, because as long as there is even 1 in a million chance of survival, she will lol. So, to a great extent the disease doesn't really matter a lot (The writer chose something with the brain because it serves other plot points such forgetting, or being unaware of whereabout)
But, the principle of coming up with made up diseases is not new. I have seen it done before in movies and books.

Fair enough, but I personally don't believe that either. Maybe this is correct only for 2023, but I strongly doubt all times.
Anyway, I am sorry if I come across serious, or foreceful. It doesn't really matter that much :)
