Trouble-chan

@Timbone - Agreed. I don't mind a good cry occasionally, but for the most part I avoid the tragedies and tearjerkers on the regular. Like you I don't understand their popularity.

@Soju --- was she even sorry? I'm probably going to skip it though - my father's waiting for test results that will indicate whether he has cancer again (4th time and this time it's BAD) and I can do without idiots even using chemo.

I really hope Thailand's not going the China route of "if you're LGBT+ everything in your life will end horribly; you'll die, your family will go mad and/or die; everyone will hate you until you die....a papercut will prove fatal as will tripping over fresh air". I stopped watching Chinese LGBT+ dramas because of that.

@Sakan--thank you for all the info.:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this wonderful actress - 2 years younger than me but looks 30 years younger.....I look like her granny!! :) My favourite roles of hers were in HIGH&LOW: The Red Rain, HERO and Last Cinderella. :D

Ummmm......isn't that the wrong trailer? I think that's for the other version.......

@Sakan - ahh, thank you! That makes everything much clearer! Lol! I don't think seeing past livesis bad though. ;)

@Colorchangingsoupandspri - ah thanks for that, I might have to give it a miss for now then. I have enough tragedy in real life now that I'm trying to deal with....so , genuinely, thanks for the heads up.

Awwm that's good - I'd guessed she was in high school, but having a gaming obsessed daughter I thought perhaps Mirae had found solace in that without JaeHe around but didn't want to admit it to her friends. Thank you for explaining and I'm glad he was back, even if we didn't see him. :)

Yamada Takayuki is sometimes a little eccentric, but he's usually good so I've got my fingers crossed. :)

Absolutely - I so wanted her to choose him....SLS so BAD. The only time I've had it worse was over Ji Hoon in Boys over Flowers. Bo Gum was just heartbreaking in this.....I actually cried over him. Mind you, he has that effect on me - his little bottom lip goes and I'm reaching for the tissues. :)

@kahoko - same. I've watched EVERY version of Meteor Garden and Mischievous Kiss.....even the truly, epicly DIRE Taiwanese remake called Miss in Kiss. To me they're almost like franchises now. So hopefully this will spur another round on of them ALL. :) My favourite of the Cantabiles was the 2014 South Korean one - the love triangle was just brilliant and I was truly torn between Park Bo Gum's character and Joo Won's as it was clear they both loved her.

Well, this is another drama that's developing it's own franchise just like Meteor Garden - and I do love following them just to see how each country does them differently but also the same. So far out of the two Nodame Cantabiles that have been done (Japan and SK) I loved the the South Korean version the most - it was just more emotional (for me anyway - and the Maestro was a jerk but not as sadistic as the Japanese version....in fact all the 'bad guys' including Joo Won's character were less spiteful overall). But I think that the whole emotional rollercoaster of the love triangle was more down to Joo Won, Shim Eun Kyung and Park Bo Gum. So we'll see how China does... :)

@biased -- I love all his work and he's never done any bad movie or drama. But my personal favourites are Naeil's Cantabile and Good Doctor (in that order). In fact it was his role in Good Doctor that inspired the American version! If you like quirky movies then Fashion King (my favourite of all his movies) is very good. :)

I was thinking the same - sans the oppa as I'm older than him! LOL! Has be been doing his military service or just taking a break?

Where's DRACULA?? Ahhh, I'm so disappointed now.....

Ever since the despicable way Johhny Zhang and Timmy Xu were treated over Addicted I ALWAYS watch their stuff - they deserve ALL the support. :) Even this one, where I can guarantee she'll end up being as wide as a single vertical human rib and with the beauty of an elf by the end.

@soapopera - you're not wrong, they did load the whole drama - I binged it too! :)

If 1 is the lowest of tears and 10 is the highest - then I'd say it's about a 2-3 (and even then only at moments); at least it was like this for me......and my husband says I'd cry at a pudding rolling in the road (though if it was chocolate, he's probably not wrong). It's not particularly sad, but you will get REALLY mad at the bad guys. It has a happy ending. :)

I binged this over two days on Netflix UK and I can only say this - WATCH IT! It was exceptionally good. Han So Yun (beautifully played by Go Sung Hee) is LONELY.....like down to the depths of her soul, deep in her bones lonely, so Holo starts out as the friend she's been genuinely LONGING for even if she's the only one who can see him.

Let's face it how many only children out there like me had pretend friends only we could see when we got lonely? To me, this was the same in a way. Go Sung Hee really plays her character well and you so want it all to turn out right for her.

Go Nan Do who invents Holo (and looks like him), is the brains behind Holo's existence. Yoon Hyun Min is as brilliant as always and plays both Go Nan Do and Holo to perfection.

I can't say much more without giving spoilers (I'll be ticking the box anyway just for safety), but I will say you will be rooting for ALL three main characters and you be riled up in places too. I cant tell you how much I loved this. If you can find it subbed, or have access to Netflix UK like me, then please be assured, it's REALLY worth watching; so much so it'll be near the top of my favourites re-watch list. :)

Wait.....WHAT?
