Honestly, you didn't miss much by dropping it! She was just a money grubbing, manipulative person. I felt no empathy or like for her ever. It was the first drama where I was actually rooting for the lead guy to dump the lead girl in a horribly public, embarrassing fashion. Park Si Hoo is the only reason I finished it, and the whole drama felt like he was this cute puppy and she was evil monster that kept kicking the puppy.

None of these were painful for me to watch, though I do acknowledge they all had their problems and were far from perfect dramas. But for the most part, they were easy, frothy watches that didn't pack much of an emotional punch.

The dramas that I found most painful to get through were The Color of Woman (Good god, why did I finish that drama!), 7th Grade Civil Servant, Cheongdamdong Alice, Nail Shop Paris and Three Days, among a couple of others. I couldn't help but notice you didn't have anything on your list rated under a 6. I have a feeling you still have so much room to discover some truly painful dramas :p

I was excited to see Xun Ran get a feature on MDL! I don't really watch Cdramas, but I did watch Love Me If You Dare, and he was amazing in it! I loved his character so much. And I loved how they took the whole friend falling for the lead girl cliche and made him super aware that his feelings weren't reciprocated and that she was falling for Bo Jin Yan. It's so irritating when a supposed best friend in dramas can't recognize the heart of the person they supposedly love.

I ended up starting it, and it's a lot darker than Love Me If You Dare. Maybe a little too dark for me!

Seriously, that ending made me so angry when I watched it! How could they do that to us? I mean, the whole drama had like one or two kiss scenes, how could they not give us an epic one to close it out? Or at least a freaking hug. That really took down the drama a couple notches for me.

I think Viki subtitles are almost always better than DF! I think DF takes too much liberty with the translation, trying to make them easier to understand for people who are unfamiliar or new to dramas. Viki is a more direct translation, and they tend to explain things in parenthesis, rather than just alter the translation. Which I like a whole lot better, since it's more interesting!

It depends! Personally, I loved Lee Min Ho in this. I thought his character was kick ass and strong, and I loved watching him fall for the doctor. But if you like lots of PDA in dramas, this one has zero. There is one, maybe two kiss scenes, though the love story is pretty prominent. It's just not expressed with kisses very much.

I am coming backwards from this, having the same problem after finishing Love Me If you Dare. That drama was so damn amazing, I am in desperate need of something as good, and someone pointed me here. You should check out Love Me If You Dare and see if it works for you :)

I usually stick with Kdramas, and kind of accidentally stumbled across this one. What sucks now is that it is so hard to find anything that can compare! The closest in Kdramas would be Liar Game. But I've been digging through Chinese dramas since watching it, and even they don't have anything that really compares to Love Me If You Dare, either!

I actually had to go to a recap when they revealed him cause I didn't recognize the guy at all :p whenever he was onscreen, I never paid that much attention to him, and definitely didn't remember his name to know who he was. So when they showed him all cleaned up, I had to go look up who it was :p

I don't think we are supposed to know for sure, but it strongly suggests that he is! I choose to believe that unless they give us a second season that he doesn't, though. Much tidier story that way!

I am curious, have you seen Love Me If You Dare? I had the same experience with that drama, and I am desperate to find another drama that is similar.

Seriously, this drama absolutely blew me away. It was only my second Chinese drama, and after my first (Boss and Me), my expectations were fairly low. But good god, that was good! There were times that it dragged, but for the most part, my heart was in my throat and couldn't stop watching. I started it yesterday after work and I stayed up til 4am yesterday, and now it's almost 4am now and I just finished. But I just couldn't put it down! It was worth being dead at work all day, which is not something I ever say. Wallace Huo is freaking amazing, and he seriously needs to do more modern dramas. His chemistry with Sandra was insane. And who wouldn't fall in love with Zi Yu? Only a monster!

If you like Elemnentary, Criminal Minds and Liar Game and wish all of those things had more romance in them, then this is the drama you need to watch already.

I don't see why they need to rephrase it. It WAS an American hit TV show in the 90s. It was a pretty big deal. If you've ever watched Friends, then you have seen a character from Mad About You, as Ursula (Phoebe's twin sister) is really a character from Mad About You that they tied into Friends.

I really, really loved this drama in the beginning. I wasn't a Kim Young Kwang fan starting out, but goodness did he win me over here. But I'm 14 episodes in, and I am starting to get bored. It's the same theme over and over again. Hae Sung wants to do a surgery and none of the other doctors want him too. And it's irritating to me that everyone but Nurse Ji Na, Ddol Mi and Hae Sung are so freaking incompetent at their jobs and/or are evil without a heart when it comes to patients. Is this a Korean thing, for doctors to be so jaded and cynical and more scared of law suits than they are of people dying? It's just so different from any American medical drama I have ever watched.

This drama surprised the heck out of me! It was so amazingly good.

I thought she was Choi Yeo Jin!

I really thought this was Kim Kap Su from his profile picture!

Boss and Me is a Cdrama :) It's very slice of life and cute! It's pretty long, though, and does delve into some pretty makjang-esque story points. But overall, it's a really enjoyable drama :)

(I know I wasn't asked, but I came across the comments and thought I'd put my two cents in :p )

It really did feel unfinished! And when you watch 33 episodes of something, it seems absurd to feel that way. There was plenty of time to wrap things up and give us even just a two minute look into their future together! I was a little surprised by how unsatisfying the ending was, given how high a rating it has on MDL.
