If the writers actually continue with the story that Bong Pil is destined to end up with his best friend Jin Sook…
If only the writers weren't showing us how iffy a person that pharmacist really is, I'd be all for that - plus Pil & Soo Jin have ALWAYS loved each other, & just keep missing opportunities - oh, & then we have obsessed jealous persons who steal their mail & stuff. I'm sorry but Jin Sook stealing his letters - that's NOT OKAY!!!! That killed my budding wish to see them together right THERE. Baro can have her - they seem to share the same ideas about interfering with people's lives...
Should be called unrequited love.Since everyone is in love with someone that loves another person .
No, Soo Jin likes Pil too. They just can't seem to mesh which is being slowly explained (ie external forces like jealous obsessed persons stealing mail)
How much is Baro and Hyesung in this? I can't stand Jaejoong or Uee lol.
????? Whatever... JJ I'd watch doing anything - sleeping, reading the phone book, whatever... & I've always liked Uee. But whatever - just drop the drama if you don't like the leads :(
Started back w/this one since the writers have swung around again. Oh, & boy was I correct about idiocy w/the money for that boy cause Grandma went to money lenders. These writers are so manipulative - the ONE thing Jin Gyu would DEFINITELY have been ordered to do would be pay damages - & he was willing at that. But oops, writers needed to have Grandma in debt to money lenders so stupidity happened.
I really could care about most of these things. I can find out in myriad places what the actual plot of a drama is - synopsis are so often WRONG. Year, country, supposedly being overhyped, cliche plot (they all could be so described), length of individual episodes - I don't CARE!!!!! I want to see if the drama is well-written & acted! There are genres I prefer, and some actors who I will watch read a phone book (I literally watched 90 minutes of Ji Chang Wook basically reading off names & requests on his V-Live appearance right before he left us for MS - so there's that) - which means if the genre is my fav, I love the actors & the writers are not horrendous (I could NOT finish Whirlwind Girl II even for JCW...) I can watch a drama that in another genre, w/different actors I just couldn't.
But I know that there are gems in all genres just waiting to be found, so I will research & sometimes even watch a couple episodes before deciding against something.
Look, Reply 1988 had only one flaw in the ending - we don't hear what happens to Kim Jung Hwan. This probably because there were rumors that his character died in a fighter plane crash, but then someone (producer, head writer, who knows) decided that would be too much of a downer.
The REAL winner of horrible ending here is Reply 1994. The writers had planned out a fun husband-guessing little mystery, with clues & everything. It had become fairly clear who THEY planned on being hubby. Like it or not.
A large segment of the audience didn't like that so much. So the producers in their ~ahem~ wisdom decided the viewers could CHOOSE, since it was a live shoot! Now, clever idea if you bother to tell your WRITERS about it before they put lots of stuff in the drama that makes no SENSE when the wrong guy gets chosen! Which happened, of course - the audience didn't choose the guy the writers had planned on making hubby, so the final 3 episodes are IDIOTIC because so much of what went before now makes zero sense.
I was so furious over this. Such a good show to be ruined this way, and then to have some people try to say it's just the ones who shipped the losing guy who say this? OMG it was the WRITERS who admitted this happened - and of course the viewing audience in Korea knew about it! If you watch Reply 1994, just know that all the clues up till episode 12 are meaningless.....
Im not invested in this drama I have seen 8 eps ....should I bother continuing?
I actually am not disagreeing with you about this drama being 'draggy' - I'm simply saying ALL of these types are draggy and that this one is not as draggy as most other WEEKEND makjang 50 episode dramas. If you don't like this one cause it's too draggy for you, I'd say you aren't going to like this genre, that's all.

This is a weekend makjang drama. It is actually nowhere near the most dragged out of such dramas. A lot of people don't like these, but they get consistently high ratings - I happen to love them.
This is a Korean remake of a Japanese drama I watched - this so far seems less shallow & corny than the Japanese one - which BTW I did like quite a bit :D So I'm enjoying it.
