Kang si woo did the hand thing!!!
You know, the one that mr.darcy does in the 2005 adaptation of Pride and prejudice ☺️

I like jang ki young too but in that particular drama, it just made sense for lee soo hyuk's character to be the lead. I dont know why the makers fumbled it so badly. They had the right set up, past lovers get reincarnated and meet again in present day and are drawn to each other. Even without the so called "love triangle" the plot had so many holes so it wasnt just that part that bothered me

I actually like anti-heroes 🤭 only in dramaworld though ofcourse. In real life, I'd get a restraining order 😅

Number of episode isn't a problem. The problem is the infantilisation of their FLs, the weird dubbing, the plots that are usually predictable and the censorship because of which we often get interesting scenarios, only to find out it was all a dream. I watched prisoner of beauty as well and while it was better than some, it still did not blow my mind away. Derailment was another one that suffered because of censorship. We could have had them exploring further and deeper but because of censorship 🤷‍♀️ i just think kdramas are better in terms of acting, plots and scripts. The thrillers are especially good. While cdrama thrillers are often disappointing.

Ive tried quite a few of the top recommended ones and ive always ended up either dropping or fast forwarding the episodes after a certain point. For example, the most recommended ones are usually pursuit of jade and the first frost. I found the kdrama My Dearest faaaaar more superior to both in every way, be it the acting, the script, the cinematography or the ending. So I've come to conclusion that cdramas are simply not my thing.

I think its because the actress is just so pretty, they knew they had to give her a quirky hair style to make her believable in this particular role

You were smart enough to quit timely. I mistakenly thought lee soo hyuk was the main lead. Imagine my rude awakening when after the halfway mark it became clear he wasn't...
At that time i remember someone saying that the screenwriter had changed midway through the show and it was the new one who changed the main lead from lee soo hyuk to jang ki young.

I recall writing that sang yan was basically wen yifan's stalker back when i first watched the first frost lol 😅 seems like im not the only one who saw it that way. Change the music to something creepy and you'd have a very sinister version of the drama (no hate to sang yan, he's a good guy)

I can tell majority of the people commenting here are watching the drama from reels alone because they are pointing out things that have already been addressed within the drama...

I kept thinking "who does this man resemble" and you are so right! Specifically lee soo hyuk's look in the past version of his character in the drama Born Again (terrible drama, DONT watch it if you haven't yet. This is NOT me recommending it, do NOT watch it). He had a similar hairstyle in it and looked just like the korean lit teacher. They could play brothers

Oh and if you are more into slice of life + comedy, i recommend Absolute Value of Romance. I can't believe i discovered this gem so late but it's definitely in my top 10 kdramas of 2026 list. It had the best last episode ever

I tried to get into cdramas and found the quality to be lacking in comparison to kdramas. I think the only one i liked somewhat was speed and love. Even never ending summer became a drag after a certain point.

Oh well I guess we have different taste, i love dark shows. The darker, the better. I binged the east palace because of how good it was. You should definitely watch teach you a lesson, it's one of those shows where every bad person gets a satisfactory punishment.
The wonderfools was another good one

I think its mainly the romcoms and slice of life ones that went downhill. The rest were pretty good. I recommend:
Teach you a lesson
The east palace
If wishes could kill
Scarecrow
The apartment job
Agent kim reactivated

I'm glad i didn't let MDL comments stop me from watching this show. I avoided it initially because i thought it was a rom-com..i mean nothing against them but it's just not my preferred genre. But this is actually a very poignant slice of life drama.
It's a nice drama for those like me who sometimes fear stepping out of their comfort zones because of past experiences. And it's not just in the context of romantic relationships. It could be anything.
Seo in guk does NOT play a stoic emotionless main lead. He smiles, he flirts, he gets flustered. I don't know why people thought he was a cold unfeeling guy. I was surprised by how smooth his flirting skills were.
Park Ji Hyun did absolute justice to her role. At no point did i feel her character was annoying. Her acting was so natural and her character traits were consistent from beginning to end.
Overall I'd give the drama an 8/10

Well i hope they confirm it soon, i would love to see Mr. Ga and yeo eui ju meet again 6 or 8 years later and re-create that chaotic energy 😅

"An ultrasound done using a ct machine"...im not even going to say anything further now 🤣🤣🤣
By all means, support this guy 🤷‍♀️

If you aren't a fan, why are you so aggressive in defending him? He's human and must be protected according to you, in case he takes a drastic step, but what about the victim? There's high probability that the victim is right, so when they see people like you calling their trauma fake, do you think that they wouldn't suffer? Benefit of doubt goes both ways dear. You choosing to believe the accuser is lying and faking is very strange if you aren't a fan....

Dude i saw her scan, her scan was clearly one done for confirming pregnancy. There was more than 1 pic you know. And by all means, give him the benefit of doubt. You want to believe in his innocence over guilt, fine you have every right. But when you claim the victim is faking things when they are clearly not, obviously people are going to point you out. Rest is up to you. The courts will decide the truth. And till that happens i choose to believe the evidence which shows that hong mingi was guilty

...dude pregnancy scans ARE SUPPOSED to be pelvic scans...why are you saying that like its a gotcha moment? My father is a radiologist, im a doctor myself. You claim to be one..how do you not know this?
