I finished this for the first time. Lee Joon Gi was great in this. But overall I found the writing to be lacking in many aspects. Characters behaved in a way that didn't make sense in the environment they were in and also regarding their former portrayal. Many things seem to happen off screen between time jumps. Some of the actors didn't really deliver. The ballads were distracting and the wigs looked like... well...wigs. I really loved the score though and the story kept me engaged till the end. But less tragedy would have been more because at times it felt like a soap opera.
I think it's watchable, especially if you like Lee Joon Gi. But there are better seaguks and high fantasy dramas like Under the queens umbrella, The red sleeve or Alchemy of souls IMO.
I was expecting to cry a lot because of several warnings by other watchers. But I only shed a little tear for the 10th prince who looks a lot like JCW little brother btw.
All in all a nice watch but probably more for a younger audience than me.

I will definetily do that. Chicago Typewriter is on my watchlist for quite some time.

I know. I think there's really something wrong with how several different crimes are judged. It's really obvious in SK but many countries have this problem. Drug use shouldn't be worse than violence. I hope things will change in the future.

There is an open ending regarding the relationship between the FL and her mother who dissaproves of the couple but there are hints that she may come around. The main couples relationsship gets a closed ending.

I loved him in "Undercover High School". Like JCW he can do it all: action hero, introvert, douche bag, cool guy and clumsy boyfriend. LOL

I´ve never watched anything with Yoo Ah In but the way he s treated isn´t okay. He mostly harmed himself. That should be punishment enough. Good luck to him in the future.

Nice article! And it was refreshing not to see the typical second couple favourites like the ones from Goblin, Run on or Business proposal.
One of my fave second couples is the one from the recent Love scout as well as the one from 2521.

Probably my favourite Kdrama. It's the only one I've rewatched so far. The main couple is so lovable and well written. And the scriptwriters played creatively with the usual tropes. The scene with the car and the splashing water is still one if the funniest in kdramaland. As well as the cliffhanger with the father on the motorcycle and its solution in the next episode. Lol

Watching this for the first time. It's really great so far. I can't imagine SunJae beeing a bad boyfriend after Lovely runner. Lol
The three leads are amazing in this. But some of the princes really show that they were rookies at the time, especially Jisoo. Big fan of the actor who plays the astronomer. He's a chameleon abd great in every role.

I really like this although it borders on beeing a bit too silly at times. It´s the first romcom this year that truly deserves the label "comedy". I prefer it to "My dearest nemesis" actually.

This was a good romcom. I didn´t like the redemption arc of the grandmother. It wasn´t truly earned.
But I liked the lead couple. There were many scenes that were funny. I wouldn´t watch it again in the near future. It´s great for people who like "True beauty", "My private life" or "What´s wrong with secretary Kim".

I understand. I have an opinion too. It's that exploiting underage girls or boys should have consequences no matter the status of the adult. I have observed groomers in my life and once I even intervened. So I share your disgust. I just don't know KSH. So I hope for hus sake that he's innocent although it doesn't seem like it. I just hope that people stating opinions as mere facts won't make the situation worse as long as he's not proven guilty.
I won't watch his dramas as long as I don't know. Btw I also don't listen to R.Kelly or Michael Jacksons music for the same reasons.
Sometimes it's frustrating to think of the amount of people using their fame to do disgusting things we'll probably never find out.

I know this. I just pointed out that participating in this discussion by taking any side is really difficult since we don't know the actors and their situation personally. People jump to conclusion very fast no matter if in the real world or on the internet. It's better to keep out of it IMO.

Yes, it seems unlikely that he's innocent. But I think it's not my right to judge someone I don't know personally. I think the internet sometimes does more harm than good. I like to leave it to the authorities to judge. Netizens could make it worse.
If you don't want to support the actor anymore the best possibility is to stop watching his work for now.

Although this looks suspicious, things aren't always what they seem. I don't defend or accuse anyone. I'm not the police nor a jury. But I truly am uncomfortable judging KSH until proven guilty. He may look guilty but we can't be sure.
Imagine he really is innocent and reacts the same way Kim Sae Ron did.
It's a truly messy situation.

This was the second version I watched of the manga. IMO the thai version is superior to the korean one. It has got a faster pace, concentrates more on the main plot, exludes the most ridiculous story lines or reinterprets them in a way they make more sense and move the main plot forward. The overall tone is way more comedic, the actors clearly feel like comic-characters. The main leads both manage to stay (fl) or become (ml) likable as the story progresses. They act well in almost all the scenes. The secondary characters stay a bit bland but are okay. I liked the emphasis on the boys friendship, the meaning of family and the true meaning of beeing happy. It's also satisfiing to watch that bullying isn't okay and that bullys should be held accountable.
Thymes mother was also a highlight for me.
It was an enjoyable watch from start to finish.

And here another big name falls....
It doesn't matter where you are on this planet. But beeing famous does the worst things to people. Story as old as time.
It's a pity.

I think many people hoped for a typical romance which this isn't.

I really like the story. It's different and keeps me hooked. It doesn't matter that the leads aren't taking part in the story at any time because in the end all the threads will come together. I hope for a happy ending.
If some viewers don't like it because the main couple isn' t really interacting with each other then maybe it's not the right show for them. I mean, there are so much kdramas with the same romance plot even airing right now. If this show doesn't grab you right away, I'd recommend watching "My dearest nemesis" or "The potato lab" instead. They are typical romcoms and pretty enjoyable.

I think it's best to not label this show as a romance and just like the story for what it is. There are romantic aspects but it's first and foremost a mistery thriller with slice of life elements and a little fantasy. It's slowly told by well written.
