I found eps 11 & 12 went by very quickly - that’s usually an indication of how interesting or intriguing I find a show. Haechi is a good story, with fine acting and quality production values. I like that our hero is playing the long game and it seems some of his detractors will become his allies.

Thank you for your article :) I particularly like how things changed very quickly at the start of Touch Your Heart. You have to admire someone who says I was wrong about you, shall we start again? I was hooked at that point because I knew then we were going to see something different.

For me, the acting is very good all round, the comedy pitched just right, the side characters are interesting, the chemistry is magical and Yoon Seo is truly delightful. We even have a show that hasn’t even followed the typical Kdrama pattern. I am very much looking forward to the second half!

At the end of the half way point and Touch Your Heart continues to be a wow. I’m glad we haven’t gone through the usual cycle up to this point. The start to the second half looks like we need to strap ourselves in and buckle up for the ride :)

Truly delightful!

I’m not happy about what happened to Da In at all - it was a good character and well played by the young actress. Item is a better show than that. Maybe there is a twist.

Overall, I enjoyed The Greatest Love very much. There were some great laugh out loud moments and ones that made you tear up as well. However, it was a bit repetitive and the use of the second ML didn’t work for me. GHJ was fabulous (as she always is). But, I found Yoo In Ah didn’t shine. Perhaps it was due to the role that any protagonist could play? CSW played a good part and has a great presence. The ending was lovely.

The Wandering Earth is a big budget production that clearly belongs on the big screen. It neatly fits into the end of the Earth genre with a ton of action, vast visuals and impossible scenarios. There are great messages about family, hope, teamwork and always look on the bright side of life (so, never give up). I have had the book The Three Body Problem by the same author for a couple of years (and the problem is referenced in the movie), so it’s now time to read it. Overall 7/10.

Each episode is over before you know it. The story is like being immersed in a book. You turn the pages effortlessly, reflecting sometimes and then moving onto the next chapter. Patient, beautiful storytelling.

Overall, an interesting premise and a good show. It was well paced and the acting of a good standard. The ending was satisfying, but it could have been a fraction longer :)

It is very interesting and well paced. So there is mystery, supernatural items, and a wonderful relationship between an uncle and his little niece. JJH and JSY are also developing a good relationship. As for Kim Kang Woo, he is playing a really good baddie role.

You have two best friends: Eun Ho and Dan-i. Eun Ho has always loved her. It would seem Dan-i doesn’t know this. Eventually, Dan-i gets married and Eun Ho tells her she is beautiful on her wedding day (which she doesn’t seem to hear). She then runs away from the wedding, but Eun Ho brings her back and she gets married. Dan-i then has a daughter but ends up getting divorced many years later and her life then falls apart. Dan-i doesn’t tell Eun Ho about the divorce until 12 months later. During this time she lives a secret life in her old house and tries to find a decent job while supporting her daughter. She finally gets a job where Eun Ho works and then moves into his house :)

I thought ep 8 was wonderful. Like Goldilocks, I thought the little touches here and there and the emotions throughout were just right: The Moon is Beautiful, The Snow is Beautiful - “Genuine, Dedicated Love”.

The first four episodes were terrific. It’s a good blend of the supernatural (ala Wharehouse 13) with prosecution and crime Korean style. Then we have the relationship between Gon and his niece which is special. The cast is great with each of our main leads well matched and it’s good to see all the veterans playing villains.

Here we are at the completion of the halfway point. I thought up until the last ten episodes Gangnam Scandal was quite good. Now that the melo has kicked in, it has become a bit of a mess - the writing that is. The acting’s good and the filming at times is very good. There’s a shot in ep 60 with So Yu overlooking the river that’s fabulous. It needs to get back to the more comedic elements, because when it does, this show really shines due to the fine cast.

This is short, sweet and worth a few minutes of your time. An ideal watch for Christmas or Valantine’s Day

Just the most fabulous show and for me the best Cdrama out there. I could have kept watching more and more. It moves into to my top five shows of any description of any country.

What we do have is, as you say, one beautifully told and rounded out story. I just hope the writers steer away from those self destructive tropes in Kdrama land. This story deserves so much more, because each and every character is interesting, even our fearsome Director Go (she might learn some modern leadership techniques along the way :))

She is, quite simply, fabulous! Both Lee Na Young herself and as Dan-yi

After the completion of ep 71 I think we can see that there is a grand plan at work. The grand plan has to be the reason why the Emperor is ignoring proper process In resolving GTY’s matter. Mind you that’s not a good reason in itself. You should always demonstrate that you followed a proper process to avoid accusations of bias. It’s the one thing that has weakened, for me, the penultimate arc in this great show. The remaining few episodes are going to be jam packed though, and I think most enjoyable :)

Yes, I found myself in the end saying “well, I got this far, I will just keep going”. I think it’s because of some of the cast, having watched them in so many other shows.
