Just started watching this, so only four episodes in, also trying to give it a fair chance and not compare but…
I am up to ep 10 and i really like it. Its been a while since ive seen the Korean version so i cant remember some stuff so i think that has made it easier to watch this. I really like the FL. She has very expressive eyes and ML seems to be relaxing more into his role. The one person making me cringe is the ML’s brother. His smiling is just 😖 he seems like he wants to be good but is just bad? I cant figure him out yet.

Started this today and ep 5 had me cracking up with the ring toss. This is not bad. I’ve been enjoying it a lot. I’ve seen the Korean version and of course it is iconic but I went into this not making any comparisons because each drama is unique in its way of telling the same story. Give it a try.
I absolutely LOVED that family drama - I highly recommend it. The romance was a slow burn but they had such great chemistry and the storyline kept me engaged that I didn’t mind it much that the romance took a while. I admit I had not seen Jo Jung Suk in many dramas - but this one made me really like him - he has very expressive eyes - you can tell a great actor by how he expresses himself with just his eyes and doesn’t even have to say anything. And of course I love IU - she was the reason I started watching it but left a fan of his. 😂
Just You is pretty good so far - I am only on ep 5 (I erroneously said on another post I was on ep 7). I am rewatching Once Again with a friend from here on MDL - we are posting comments over on that page. I am trying to finish Pinocchio first - I only have 2 more episodes to watch of it then I can devote more time to Just You.
Oh an I am also watching Smile You - 😂 I have way too many dramas going at once.
You are my glory was good. I haven’t watched fireworks from my heart yet. You are My Hero is another great c-drama - Go Ahead as well (which they are going to be making a k-drama version of- don’t know how it will compare to the c-drama because I loved it so much).
This is a weekend makjang drama. It will take forever. There are going to be twists and turns and love stories…
No I am not watching that one. Not sure I want to. Just didn’t seem appealing to me after I started reading about it. It’s on my list to watch so maybe later I might.
right?!, i be looking for how people like it and half the comments is this 🫠
I still say the writers from KBS all have lunch together and discuss writing the same trash episodes for each other's drama- the weekend and dailies always seem to run along the same lines that are airing at the same time. We saw so many correlations between TRHC and AOME.
Yes I have seen 5 enough. I just finished You Are the Best and My Wonderful Life. I liked both but thought You Are The Best with IU was very good. I am now watching Just You with Seo Joon Young and rewatching Once Again.
I never watched them much until the past 2 years - now i am playing catch up on some of the older family dramas - I watched Once Again and Father is Strange first - loved them - of course it is much easier going back and watching older family dramas than those that are airing because i can just skip through stuff easier. LOL
Oh an I am also watching Smile You - 😂 I have way too many dramas going at once.
