Crisp is the word I use to describe What’s Wrong i.e. lively, pithy and sparkling. Why? Because the comedic timing in this show is perfect. Miss Kim sparkles in every way. And there is quite a bit of subtext going on about a range of issues. Is it a traditional story? In many ways it is, but because of its crispness, I find it truly refreshing and enjoyable. Our main pair deserve a romantic relationship and it would seem the misunderstandings don’t last too long. Fabulous!

This is the ideal watch for one of those afternoons when you don’t have too much on and you just want to take a break from everything. It has a good cast, a nice story, and as others have said, is a nice blend of comedy, with a touch of the evildoer thrown in and love.

Yes, there is no rhyme or reason to wreck their relationship. I wasn’t pleased with the new promo at all. Fingers crossed that it is a momentary blip and we see the super plot and our fabulous couple return to deal with Oh Joo (although funnily enough I have a soft spot for our gangster mayor - just a wonderful performance) and Moon Sook (who has become one of the great Kdrama villains).

After such an awesome ride, I feel a bit let down by episode 11. It’s like the writers were scared and fell back on stereotypical tropes. Or is it because it has been such an exceptional show, that when there is a “standard” episode worthy of any other show, I haven’t appreciated it?

Sang Hyuk did say he would give her one more chance and she just blew that at the end of episode 13. Hopefully, he can now move on. I’ll be honest and say I don’t know why I’m still watching this drama other than I just want to see the not so nice characters get their come uppance!

Thank you for providing the link to the article regarding Shi Dingrou. It is not only interesting but enlightening as well. Fingers crossed regarding another series or the production of a movie.

I thought episode 6 was just the best. It was nice for the story to change up and be in a different setting. Overall, The Crown Princess is a very good, romantic story and slightly different to other lakorns at this point. Plot holes don’t matter, the acting is great and our lead pair are fabulous as always.

Yes, she is. Although I have only seen to the end of episode 6, I have felt she is the one behind everything.

I found eps 5 & 6 a bit cheesey, but in a good way. This is the sort of show that you just roll with it and don’t worry about the minor detail. Have fun and enjoy it.

The fighting scene would make the Villainess (2017 South Korean action movie) proud!

Perhaps everything is not what it seems. That’s the way I’m looking at it for now.

I think Kim Kwon is doing a great job portraying Moon Sik. After watching episode 26, his redemption seems a long way off. Although he does seem to regret his actions, he has entered a spiral of destructive behaviour. It will be interesting to see how this will change. The writer seems to be handling all of the conflicting issues in this show in a very measured way - which I like. Just when you think something will spiral out of control or become a typical drama piece, the show nicely swings back to an even footing (if that makes sense).

About Time has a talented and very good all round cast. However, by the end of episode 3, I found myself very disappointed. I’m a little bit over the abusive storyline arc etc. The characters deserved so much more from the writers. Then with episode 4 (which I sat on for a week before watching it today), I found myself thinking LSK’s talents were totally wasted. Not only that, but yet another show where many of the characters aren’t all that likeable. For me, the show has gone from original and interesting to one of mediocrity at best. So, unfortunately that’s it. But, I will keep checking back in from time to time to see what people think - you never know, it might just turn the corner.

At the completion of the halfway point: will Moon Sik get his just desserts? The moral of the story: never be too clever!

After 10 episodes all I can say is that most of the characters are just horrible people. Our heroine is lovely, I just hope some of the others can develop a bit of heart!

A very slick and entertaining start. As someone else pointed out earlier, it does have that Two Week’s Notice feel about it. I’m looking forward to what happens next!

Yes, that’s exactly what I am hoping for.

The possibilities are certainly endless. In the realm of science fiction and drama in general, the laws work just fine (including the later zeroth law which gives the ultimate protection). I did a quick test re Are You Human Too and I came up with a thumbs up. Not that it really matters.

In the real world, those who challenge Asimov say it’s a matter of ethics not in terms of the AI, but those who create or program said machine. So, the laws are defunct (and by all accounts almost impossible to program in any case).

Our hero is being given the freedom to choose - even though he is being guided at the moment, albeit because he is considered to be on the right side of things (the “setting”), which may or may not create a conflict for our hero in due course when he, in turn, wants to change those around him!

I’m sure that will be the case.

The first four episodes (or two, depending on where you watch it) covered a lot of territory and ticked a lot of boxes for me. The robotic technology is quite good - some of it impressive. The CGI is right up there and the set design overall is very good. And Asimov’s laws of robotics are in full swing. For this story to work these things need to be believable.

The Mum is wonderful, the Chairman is not yet in full swing (but we know how good Park Young Kyoo is in playing such a role), Seo Jong Gil is shaping up, Kang So Bong is a good mixture of fiestiness and vulnerability and our hero really made a grand enterance in episode four.

What remains to be seen is how the writers treat the growth and change regarding our robotic hero as well as his relationships. The story’s pace is good, I’m sure the romance elements will develop and strengthen, but I would like to see the bad guys step up a bit more. Then there is the mystery surrounding the Dad...
