I like LJS and I was really hoping he'd find a new drama to act in... but the characters' names only are the strongest barrier against me watching this. Sorry... I'll pass.
She's the most qualified because she's the first Cha he saw on the day he decided enough is enough and let them all go to hell together, LOL. If he met SeonWoo, it would probably been him. I don't think he even cared anymore at that point.
He is known to be willingly to dress down for a role. Have you seen him in the Burning Flames when he played a…
The heat was for Burning Flames? Seriously he does look fine there (he always does when the hairstyle includes bangs or loose hair. But this top knot/bun with the little bit unkempt thing makes him look pretty bad, IMHO.)
Oh well, I'll chalk it up to people's tastes differing. But I probably still won't be watching this drama. (I was thinking it was filmed when there was that big stramash with male leads in cdramas becoming too "effeminate" looking and having them all look more manly or some other silly thing like that. Given people were commenting this was really delayed and the FL's tax problems was a reason for it.)

I went and looked at all the pics from Burning Flames. He looks just fine in there. Here... Playing someone who is poor doesn't mean he has to look like a turnip head.
This is amazingly bingeable. So far (ep 6) I like the flow, the manner of speaking (it feels so natural), the way the flirting goes (so winsome), the way this was filmed - finally outside scenes that don't look as if they're filmed on a green screen (most of them are probably actually filmed outside).
Very soothing drama (I know there are going to be some strife and I've seen the seeds for betrayal being planted but I have hope).
I took it exactly the opposite - he looked at the painting and saw his present and future. As if she painted him there alone and that's where he would be. Without her. So he said goodbye to that life and went away.
He didn't only say he needed time off, he also said it would take a lot longer than the first time (when it was months but it would've been forever if HID wasn't a Storm Trooper.)
I have to laugh at this because how blind and ignorant one has to be to think that this show was so good that…
If they have no dramas in their list and have had the account for some time (like the one you were replying to), they're usually alt-accounts they're using in order to curse at people and write abusive comments and not get their main blocked or reported. So again, people of this moral "consistency" who won't even claim their own opinions but at the same time they're hiding their actual likes and dislikes... it's not worth arguing with and wasting all that time.
I wonder what treasure of drama they're claiming as the very possible best would they be claiming on their main accounts though :D Since they won't use those accounts to comment in here, I guess they're pretty aware they would become laughingstocks because of it LOL.
But in the end, it doesn't matter. The drama's best revenge is that it made the best ratings in its country which means success for the cast and crew. Int'l fans or anti-fans won't move the needle on that too much.
There won't probably be a second season. But there are threads starting that won't be tied off neatly because…
He was the naive Cha. The rest of them are killers waiting for an opportunity (Cha had HID killed and wanted to get SDJ too, DeokHui had her husband and SDJ's mom killed, SeonWoo pushed TaeYun, the other daughter, the useless one, had lots of schemes, she's just incompetent so nothing much panned out). Even YEN was trying to get HID dead and "accidentally" poisoned SDJ with the cinnamon while they were living together (because it makes sense to keep something your SO is deadly allergic too *eyeroll* I mean, she might be addicted to cinnamon and needed it around. Or something).
So YHC had a lucky escape divorcing her, and now SDJ also had a lucky escape, 'cause that relationship is ashes. Everything the Cha family touches dies, and good for SDJ he managed to find a way to break and leave them all behind.
TaeYun tried, too, poor kid. He was the weakest Cha and his mom made him the cause of everything she did so in poetic manner he had to be the one to deliver her greatest punishment. If she had let him go, he'd be alive.
(Though yes, he could be in a coma, if another season comes, though I think not.)
He started taking a distance from her since he wrongly thought she was his sister. (Not to mention there HAD to be something giving after what she did to him at the end of ep1). The trust is gone.
Then she started the revolving door policy with the Yeoms, coming, going, coming again while being totally an idiot around him - I mean, she left the freaking phone out in the open so that HID found out where he was and could come shoot him. She'll never ever be a fully thinking human being.
Then she brought him to his sister just for him to see her obliterated by that truck. I think that was the breaking point for him - he even called her out on it, later. YEN was the one who set up the meeting, and while she had nothing to do with the murder... she DID set it up.
You can see the passion drained from him after that. There are no more secret small smiles for her, no "accidental" touches, no caring tone when he addresses her. And she still doesn't realise what she did wrong, keeps calling him "DongJoo-yah" as if she still has claiming rights on him... Nah, that relationship is done.
Then later on, the revelation of maybe being siblings, and then the way she APPROVED of him being Yeom's killer, even if he's horrified by it and keeps having nightmares and hallucinations about it all - it's the final nail in the coffin.
Yes, he kisses her on that pier, but it's a kiss goodbye. No passion, just breaking the last strand between them. And he won't be back - while she's waiting for him stupidly wearing his ring and painting herself with him on that yacht, he's been away for long and didn't come back even if Taeyun is (maybe) dead (he could be only in a coma or something).
I just hope this drama doesn't turn out to be like Vagabond, where we have to wait indefinitely for many years…
Vagabond made a full circle, it starts with the ending and goes back to how we got there... then ends. They never promised an actual sequel, and even if they make it I won't be watching. But this one doesn't go that way.
The worst drama of the year. I honestly don’t think anything can top this this year.. it took a completely different…
It was pretty clear from the first two eps this is makjang with an action side, if you set your expectations for anything else it's on you, not on the drama. And from the ending of the first ep it was pretty clear the romance won't matter a lot for this.
As the Chinese say, you're hating iron for not becoming steel.
It's not a perfect drama, but it makes perfect sense. Not every drama needs to have a HEA. The ratings are what they are - the MDL ones can easily be manipulated with brigading (even for this one, and for others who objectively suck and yet have high ratings), but hey, they have risen from a 6% viewership to a 15+% viewership, so I think it's a successful drama in its coutry. If you don't like it, that's too bad, happily there are lots of other dramas you can choose instead and be happy with.

Don't bother with them. There were people rating-bombing this since it started because it was competing with another drama that has since ended. That drama's ratings are abnormally high for what it presented, but then this is MDL, everybody rates however they felt like, so maybe some people just want silly romcom and bring it up to heaven while a drama that - while imperfect - isn't forcing romcom down their throats or doesn't end in a perfect HEA gets downrated.
Don't mind MDL ratings, and also don't mind mean-worded comments either. You like what you like and they like whatever they like, and if they become obnoxious, just block them. Life's too short to fight persistent naysayers (like those who wanted YEN to be basically a virgin, and then freaked out when she married and there was a talk about children with YHC, then when there was the possibility she and SDJ might be siblings, then clung on to the "legal step-siblings" side though it carries no water, then on the why does SDJ care HID is his father (as if he should be the Terminator instead and just kill, kill, kill - etc.)They won't ever be satisfied, I wonder why they're not out there writing their own dramas.
So don't pay them any more attention, see you on some other drama's comments section :)

He won't be back to her.
