Try Kiss Drama and KissAsian. Also Netflix

I enjoyed this enough to also watch Wake Up 2

Thank you!

At the halfway mark all I can say is: wow and wow and more wow.

There is a lot going on here besides the incredible romance (and let’s hope it keeps building and growing and doesn’t derail at some point. These two just nail it so naturally).

Is her Mum annoying etc? Yes, but what a piece of great acting - naturally portrayed along with most of the other characters in this drama. The Dad is marvellous. The stirring of each other (the women) in the workplace - you do have to smile. The sequence with the friends younger girlfriends etc says a lot about how the future can be embraced and what a lovely person Jin Ah really is.

As for the ex - yes, well, say no more. I think everyone agrees there needs to be a final solution. And maybe we have that now.

The revolution in the workplace and the office politics - great stuff. It’s nice to finally see this issue being dealt with wholeheartedly in a Korean drama. We still need to see which way the CEO will go, but he seems to be a realist.

If you noticed how our fabulous couple were watching the movie Singing in the Rain (a romantic comedy considered the greatest musical of all time and one of the all time great movies) during episode 5, it says something about this drama overall when you look at the words to this movies’ central song:

Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.

I was thinking the same thing. Here’s to next week :)

At the end of episode 18 all I can say is: wonderful!

I really enjoyed this show. In fact it’s one of my all time favourites. I liked the different contrasts re the characters and the many imperfections they had. I thought the leads had good chemistry and the challenges to their relationship I found compelling because I wanted things to work out for them. That aside, the songs in the opening and closing credits are the best you will hear regarding any show. Magical.

Just when I thought it was losing its way a little bit, episode 13 was a cracker of an episode and refocused the whole story. I’m looking forward to what happens next.

One of my all time favourites. Just a lovely story, very well acted and a great setting.

A feel good movie with plenty of stereotypes. It is good fun and not a bad way to spend some time.

I thought this movie was very good. In fact for this type of movie it was well executed, entertaining with plenty of action throughout and very funny with a nice romantic element throughout. And yes, the translator was fabulous. It was a very nice way to spend the afternoon.

Yes, it does. It was subbed very quickly.

Three episodes in and what an enjoyable romp it is. It is funny with plenty of intrigue and scheming happening as well as budding romance. Our heroine is cheeky, knows how to save a situation and is a fine chef to boot. A big thumbs up ????

I felt that the story leading up to the 20th episode was trying to be too clever. Then it felt like it was being drawn out with a forced outcome. The reveal at the end of the 20th episode is what I expected, but a good recovery of the story nonetheless. So, up until episode 12 it was a 10 for me, but is now sitting at 8.5. It’s still a real hoot though.

On the whole quite good with a good premise from start to finish. Yes, our hero is a little over the top, but you do get used to it. There is good acting and storylines throughout and a nice two episode finale to the series with a nice little twist (which you will probably guess along the way).

I’m very glad I finished this show. It’s just a delight from the beginning to the end. The humour, the serious moments and the romance all blend so well together. Even if you think there might be a gap here or there - just go with it. Make sure you watch the final episode all the way to the end, because it’s quite clear that there is going to be another series as others have already said.

After two episodes - magical. I am really enjoying the naturalness of this show. And the actors are spot on.

Here we are after episode 10. This show continues to be amazing. The way the writer has managed to evoke all the emotions and keep the different storylines interesting with the director drawing out some very fine performances along with the ability of the actors all lead to wow!

The one thing for me that is truly great about this show is the message of no matter how many times you get knocked down, it’s how you pick yourself back up, dust yourself off and keep going that is the key. People really do care for one another - you just need to find the right people who do.

I’m still not sure how it will all end, but I bet there is a twist in there somewhere.

The first 15 minutes of this drama was superb. Then I found I didn’t enjoy the rest of episode one at all. Still, I came back and gave it another go. It really did take off after episode two and was very good. However, I found episodes 13 and 14 did not quite gell for me and so I am now walking away. It’s a shame really, because Grand Prince has a very good cast and there are times when the acting is quite good. The story for me has lost its way and I’m not sure it warrants the number of episodes listed.

Charming, very funny at times, intersecting love triangles all over the place and a good story with good acting. In other words, a real delight.
