The journey with the cast while watching this felt like reading a classic novel.
I need a Blu-ray and a character guide to keep as memorabilia.

I loved how they developed the characters. Def one of my fave series.

I'm glad some characters are redeeming themselves.

Totally agree. I had to stop watching at the first court scene of ep. 9 when it was relased because it was so infuriating and i might pull all my hair out. Took me half a day to be calm and finish it. Lol

Most episodes (if not all) are frustrating me. Can't they humiliate the bad guys a bit more? It feels like our leads are always on the losing side. I know it's wrong to wish for a person to be humiliated, but the villains here are so evil i don't think i can ever symphatize with them. Ever. I can feel my wrinkles getting more visible every single time i see them. And when they start talking, i just want to shout out of annoyance and frustration.

I hate that prosecutor Jin. And that assemblyman Ko. And his son. And that police officer (detective?). And those two reporters. And Sol B sometimes irritates me. And their annoying (a lot of times) classmate Ye Beom.
And how can I forget Lee Man Ho.
Lol. A lot of characters in this drama will give me high blood pressure.
Still an awesome show though. And badass MCs.

They delayed the release of some episodes for a week.
And i think i saw a preview before that looked like Mr. Cho died. I'm not really sure though. I might be imagining things.

They probably wanted an impactful death. I agree though, his death could be avoided. His character development was the most beautiful for me. It was so pure. So much happened to him but i felt like he was untainted.

It's crazy though. How they played with our emotions. Ep. 19 preview made me believe (at least about 80%) that Hansoe would die. And then 19 came out, he didn't. I was so sure he would survive. But then they actually killed him. Everyone involved in this series did a really great job, honestly, in my opinion.

Yes. I'm only in ep. 7, but i already peek at every episode, and i already love him. Thanks. :)

Yeah. Also, i was really disappointed with Vincenzo when Han-seo died. I felt like he didn't do his best to save him. It's understandable tho since Chayoung was there, and she's his priotity. So seeing that Vincenzo-Hanseo scene at home made me really happy, knowing that they probably bond more times than we know. Hahah

I was so mad when i thought they killed him. I mean, killing him wasn't necessary. And then that scene came, when he showed up, i was laughing so hard. I got fooled. I loved it though.

True. And that Vincenzo reminiscing Han-seo scene, about the tracking device, made me sob harder. He was so pure.

I want to give it a 10. But remembering Han-seo, makes me rate it 9.5. His death is acceptable and somehow necessary. But he's been through so much since childhood, so i was really hoping for a better future for him.
Still, this series will always be one of my top favorites.

Yep. I'm planning to watch that drama. I need to wash his image here. XD

I'm rewatching it and Fu Pei still annoys me. A lot. I still wonder if his character was created to annoy the hell out of us. ?

Agree. I don't think this adaptation needs to be on par with the cdrama. I honestly think it's nice that we can watch a more light hearted version of ALSB. It's also cool to see the same characters with a bit diff. personalities than the original ones. It's like watching the same drama in a different perspective, if that makes sense.

I like it. It feels like I'm watching a really refreshing animè. I don't really mind that it's fast paced. I love the original but I also love the new tone of this adaptation.
I just hoped that the episodes weren't this short.

Kim Go Eun.

Though I don't really agree with how they were ranked, but I agree that most of them should be included on the top lists. :D
