i don't know how people support student-teacher romances
This is college, and he is an older student. And It is he who pursues her. Besides, in many ways he’s stronger than she is just when she needs him to be. I love how he takes care of her so she can survive a snake pit.
For me, ep 14 was a deal breaker as well as a heart breaker. However, I stayed with the series, and I’m okay with closure. It’s just not the great series it set out to be, nor is the relationship between the main leads fully explored as it should have been. It had the potential to be one of the sweetest and most memorable in K-Drama. But the cast is terrific, director did his best with the script given, plot is complex and interesting, but the writer should stay focused better in the next script. I do recommend the series for SHJ's fine performance throughout multiple demands on her as an actor. She is wonderful..
He is a brilliant actor who made me shudder in “ Why Her?” And that’s just the most recent character. I like to think he’s a sweetheart in real life. Please? :)
The cast is excellent; Woo Bin and Suzy are terrific together. Like many here, I also think the series could have been stronger and tighter with 12-16 eps, no loopholing, turnovers, and redundancies in the plot. They’re tiring and annoying because they intrude in and drag down the main plot. I am so glad Woo Bin is doing better. His performance here is so poignant in light of his own illness: I ached for him.
Huge lapses in plot and character are ruining what could have been a fine series. And episode 14 is so far over the top it isn’t shocking but despicable. . . With the child now dead not once but twice. And the development of the gentle love story seems cast aside. HIY and his character clearly emphasized by the writer deserved better treatment. And the audience deserved better than to be subjected to the horrific death of a child. This series and its writer have wallowed in violence, the worst against females, that has overwhelmed the characters and whatever plot might have developed.
For me, the first episode was slow, but then I enjoyed the rest up until the final episodes which I found tedious and annoying. The entire cast is superb, and much of the writing is as well. But too many storylines with uneven treatment and constant anger toward the end in 20 uneven eps for me dragged it down. But when it’s good, “Our Blues” really is good and quite charming.
Absolute platinum as an actor. My favorite is “Mr. Sunshine” but as he turns in his “Our Blues” performance in a totally different character, again he proves his gifts. The most experienced South Korean actors prove every day that not only can they hold their own with the West but they often surpass it.
Fine writer, excellent cast, who work hard in transparent messages told in a slow repetitive pace that for me became annoying. Yes it is good enough at what it sets out to be, I give it that, but not a series I would watch again. What bothers me is that it misses so much on the issues of depression and alcoholism—which others below explore better than the series does.
I generally don’t care for corporate dramas, but I love Lee Jun Ji, so I stayed with it. The cast is strong, and everyone works hard. Fabulous theme song, “Til the End.” The series begins well, and there are definitely good moments, but for me it didn’t measure up to what I have come to expect in the best KDrama.
