Not to sound patronising or anything, but if it isn’t actually real, will it still affect you?
I’m not Op, but absolutely! I don’t watch anything that has animal deaths, even if it’s not torture. I watch tv to escape reality, and animals dying and being tortured is not my idea of escape.
Contrary to what many of the comments are saying on this page, this drama was a pure gem, from start to finish!…
I was really worried after the first episode that it was going to be too boring for me, but after they got back from Cuba, I really started to love it! I’m not too far yet, so hopefully it stays this good. But I felt like the first episode was really, really slow and the director made some weird scene choices for the way he shot them. I can see how someone might drop it from the first episode and think it’s boring. I hope people are able to keep going and see that it’s a little gem of a drama :)
Well in the end, they're still different dramas. In my case, it didn't remind me of SKL at all despite them both…
It’s not that it’s the same female lead that makes them similar. There are tons of similar plot points, and that has nothing to do with taste or opinion. I ended up really enjoying this drama, but it took at least 6 episodes before I was able to get into it. Even so, if the last episode hadn’t been so weak, I could have almost ended up liking it more than SKL.
It’s funny that the review that mentioned that this was basically a Joseon Shopping King Louie is what made me start this drama, when now it’s really irritating me. There are so many similar plot points, but it is lacking the light-hearted frivolity that made Shopping King Louie so enjoyable. I love D.O, but I’m having a hard time caring about his character :(
Oh, man. I managed to hate-binge the first 4 episodes before coming to the comment section here. I was hoping I’d see lots of “it gets better!” comments, cause I love YEH, and I have been dying for her comeback. But I’m guessing I should just throw in the towel, cause this is already an insanely bad drama, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get better.
Honestly, it reminds me so much of of Lie To Me. But even though Lie To Me was a giant mess when it came to writing, it was at least fun to watch and with good chemistry. This doesn’t even have that going for it.
Thank you, @Allyson! Exactly, happened to me as well. When I started my second viewing, I binged watched a little…
I imagine it was a lot tougher with having to pay close attention for the article! You have to really ruminate on the sadness, then. I am glad I binged it, though. I think if I watched it every week, I wouldn’t have been able to feel like bumming myself out every week. It was better for me to get it all over in one shot. Or two, as it were :) but everyone is definitely different!
Great article :) I am glad to see the love and care you took in thinking about this drama :)
I binged this, and couldn’t agree more about how it can affect you, emotionally. I finished it in two days, and then had to rewatch a whole lot of happy, fluffy dramas afterward to decompress. But it was still so good!
Kind of. I mean, we do find out that she had a crush on him at the same time! But it definitely presents as him liking her first. But I am all for more people watching that drama. So underrated.
I really love So Ji Sub, and I actually did like this drama, depsite all of its flaws. But, I was just really unimpressed with So Ji Sub in this one. His character was just so flat and one note. I don’t know if it’s the fault of the writing, or if he just didn’t take enough chances, but I’d have liked to see more depth. I know he’s capable of it!
It's a comedy drama, not a serious drama :). The writer probably intended to write it that way. I think it was…
I mean, you literally said “maybe it’s time to let go.” You’re mad that someone agreed with you? You’re just looking for a fight, cause OliCT wasn’t near as rude as you were. You can comment on other people’s opinion, those who think it’s a masterpiece and wonder if they’ve watched the same drama you have, but god forbid someone comment on your opinion.
he pointed a f****g weapon at her lol keep on admiring him
Except it was confirmed by police that he had a knife on him when they found him. It’s hard to admire someone who doesn’t take no for an answer, whether they own up to it or not. Though, I would hardly classify his action as such. He admitted guilt cause the evidence was strong, but claims no memory of any of it. That’s not exactly owning up to anything, other than the fact that they had too much evidence against him and SK is much more lenient to offenders who plead guilty and show remorse. I’m not saying he needs to be crucified for what he did, but admiring him is a little much.
Every year there are 2 or 3 trend that constantly recur in every drama. When you finallythey think you've had…
It seemed like every other drama was legal dramas just a few months ago. Now we’re getting a lot more horror themed dramas. But still, I like both more than the year that time travel dramas wouldn’t go away.
He dies!??? See, this is why I don’t watch airing dramas. Damn it, I was really liking this one, too. Such a…
Yeah, I understood that part of her comment. I just don’t see her future with a ghost as a happy one, really, maybe if there weren’t so many negative comments about how stale and boring the show got, I would be willing to soldier on. But lackluster writing and a less than happy ending? It’s a pass for me. But I appreciate the effort :)
I loved this show but I'm glad it's over and I have to take points off for that ending.The show was good, it got…
He dies!??? See, this is why I don’t watch airing dramas. Damn it, I was really liking this one, too. Such a bummer, but thanks for posting the spoiler, that’s legit all I wanted to know before deciding if I should pick it back up now that it is Over.
i watch a korean mix of this drama on youtube and comes here to see about its story but according to the story…
It’s so funny, the same thing happened to me! I was googling a different actress, and a clip from this show popped up and it was young actors! I was shocked when I looked up the drama and it was about older people.
Honestly, it reminds me so much of of Lie To Me. But even though Lie To Me was a giant mess when it came to writing, it was at least fun to watch and with good chemistry. This doesn’t even have that going for it.
Great article :) I am glad to see the love and care you took in thinking about this drama :)
