Surprise-Lobotomy

I can't believe he's 44. He still looks so young.

I have been hoping they would have more screen time. I like them more than the main couple, even though I am a fan of Seung Gi. Go Ah Ra, not so much..

Sa Kyeong & Pan Seok better get some closure or I will cry tears of frustration and everyone will feel bad. Don't let me down, writers!

He wasn't evil in Salaryman

My fingers have been crossed for a Chae Kyung x Roman Lee pairing, but I won't get my hopes up

Ep. 25 & 26 finally showed some passion between our tragic CJW x AMN pairing! So many awful things happen to both of them that I am surprised they ever leave the bedroom

His voice is amazing

I can't speak for everyone else, I only meant what my reservations about the show were. Draggy + actors I don't really like? I think I can invest 20 hours somewhere else..

You're going to cause me to die laughing.

I am also a huge AMN x CJW fan - they have so many great scenes. How can you not love this?

If I am watching a "bad" drama I have to really like one or two of the actors (usually the lead girl) or I can't do it. I think Jin Se Yeon is annoying and I have never seen Kang So Ra in anything - Lee Jong Suk was great in Secret Garden & I Hear Your Voice, but I am not a teenage girl so I can't really watch it for him alone. Park Hae Jin also annoyed me to death in YWCFTS.

..that's so many strikes against this drama. It sucks because I like medical dramas and I love romance dramas/thrillers. Oh well.

I don't like Jin Se Yeon and after reading through many of these comments this drama looks like something to avoid - I guess I won't start it

Both Kim Hae Sook and he are excellent in this drama, I agree. I hate them both

I jump off the edge of my seat and start throwing things when he is on screen

I loved it by 9 episodes in - if you aren't enjoying it there is a very good chance it isn't your style. I don't think the show is for everyone, it's one of those shows that you pretty much know what you're going to get 2-3 episodes in.

I liked the snarling between CJW and Baek witch near the end of ep. 24. Also Cha Soo An is so cute, she always makes me smile when she is on screen.

I feel the same way as you do about being mad if I have invested so much time / writing is terrible. I've been watching Hotel King on a weekly basis since episode 6, though, and I haven't felt it drag at all. I have been frustrated, but that's true of any show. It's always better to wait until the end if you can - I just wanted something to watch.

I originally wouldn't watch anything below a 7.5, but the ratings on this site are so heavily inflated (see: You're Beautiful and Boys Before Flowers) that I largely ignore the ratings now. I can usually tell in an episode or two whether or not I will enjoy something, so I only rarely feel like my time has been wasted.

I'd say the acting is the most redeeming part of this drama - if you're a fan of Dong Wook, you will like him in this drama. I also wouldn't say the writing is "bad," but it certainly isn't realistic. You did give Innocent Man an 8 and I personally think the writing for this show is better.

To be fair, women are the main audience for kdramas in general.

I'm loving it. If you're looking for lots of action / moving romance or a believable plot, this show probably isn't for you. There is action and the romance is very enjoyable, but it's done in makjang fashion so you can expect a healthy dose of ridiculous plot twists and misunderstandings and things that might put many people off. The drama itself is what I would call "character driven" - you watch it because you are attached to the characters more than any other reason. I watch it as more of a "guilty pleasure" because it isn't something you can take too seriously, but it's the only show I have really looked forward to every week in a while.

It's hard for me to know exactly what you are looking for, but I definitely think it is worth watching if you approach it with the right mindset.
