A quarter of the way through and we continue to have a very good show. Eun Ji (the grand daughter) is stealing the show with her crush on Dong Joo. Song Ah and Dong Joo are a great pairing as well. You have to admire Eun Suk’s determination and it’s good to see the grandfather playing a nice guy for once.

What I really liked about ep 11 was the use of younger adult actors to depict our lead couple in the flashbacks and not them trying to act as their younger selves. Also, the family bonding was simply beautiful.

Yes, there are and they are quite good. A decent amount of time is devoted to them as well.

I thought the first episode was very good. In fact, I enjoyed it slightly more than the original version’s first episode. The scene setting was interesting - done in a way to show that not all is fair in “love and war”. If 60 Days continues in this vein, then we will have a classy political thriller on our hands.

Beautiful, heartwarming, but a tearjerker at the same time. Reminiscent of the Note Book. 9.5/10

The prevailing thought throughout this beautiful story: It takes two to become one. Not enough dramas are made like this anymore. Make sure you watch for the show stopper at the end.

A great comment and thought provoking question. I liked their relationship up until eps 7 & 8. Now, I feel it has gotten in the way of what was a fabulous story between three professional, and very interesting, women. I felt that at the end of ep 8 Park Morgan needed to keep on walking and not look back, but I do get what the writers were trying to do with the final scene. Both our leads do need help. Bae Tae Mi is so clever and perceptive, but ethics for her is a matter dependent on what is happening on any given day. However, we are starting to see Scarlett’s conscience make an impact on BTM. Similarly, Park Morgan has yet to reach his full potential, but he does have that knack of making those around him think perhaps ethical behaviour is valid. At the end of the day, I feel the relationship between BTM and PM should be in the background and not the main focus. By the way, SGK’s mother-in-law is putting in a fine performance as the chairwoman. It’s so different from her role in 12 Nights.

For me, Angel continues to shine. What an extraordinary show. That scene at the start of Ep 23 where our leads are back to their bickering best - it felt like the real thing. Then later on where Yeon Seo says to Dan come and help me plant the Canola seeds - her joyous expression was like a burst of sunshine. Finally, the writers have released the shackles on Dan’s character. I think he has a bit of magic yet to weave....

Yes, your subs are worth it!

Just over halfway and this show continues to be of a very good standard.

Yes, Ru Na is evil (or even possessed?). Her mum’s reaction to finding out the truth regarding her eldest daughter’s nature was very good I thought.

To me the issue re Dan is the way his character is written at the moment - they have dropped the ball a little bit. His reluctance to tell Yeon Seo the truth about himself despite knowing what may happen to him and also the matter re telling her the truth about her mobile phone etc are at odds with those more mature and compassionate moments he has, which I really like.

This is one very funny, but thought provoking drama at the same time. A real hoot. ZJW is a true delight.

Just finished week 1. Another superb Japanese “short” morning tv drama.

Halfway there. Awesome. I even like how they throw in the random, current issues such as the controversy around fake honey. Show continues to be jam packed with plenty more to come!

They are using plenty of red herrings and what seems to be different images re the masked villains (which is a bit naughty). Anyway, it’s a cracking show and I’m enjoying this season even more than the last!

In the end, I felt disappointed with the story. Good acting though and it was succinct and to the point.

Yes, I agree

Solid movie that is worth the watch. Good acting all round.

This show is corny, but in a good way :)

Season 1 completed. It does remind me of a series of books I read a long time ago on the rise of a civilisation based on the expansion of a city state. So, I enjoyed it overall, but found myself not really caring all that much re Eun Som’s character and his storylines. The other characters are far more interesting. The sets are great, the acting very good, the use of the mish-mash of cultures is fine and the landscape beautiful.
