can't refute any of it but when it's done right it's fun to watch, especially when the male lead ain't a jerk

this one is a really well done cliche and the dynamics between the characters makes this such a gem,
he is a narcissist but he isn't nauseating mean and broody bad boy type, he is like a 5 year old learning how to be mindful towards his first crush yet he can be such a serious person when it is needed
as for miso, she is such a savage sweetheart, she is aware all the bullshit about young joon and ain't a pushover by no means, she is a total pro at her job
since they both are toddlers when it comes to love it is such a delight to watch them struggle around it

the poor 2nd lead syndrome, i freaking hate how 2nd leads victimize themselves, you are not a nice guy if you were expecting her love while doing favors, she ain't into you boy, just get over with it and you can always be friends if you are that nice -_-

or the rich girl is always a b*tch plot is just ugh,
girl gotta get herself a man if she wants a happy ending and let's not forget how her low self esteem is boosted after getting 2 hot guys fighting for her affection(well that would be a good for anyone's ego if the situation was remotely realistic in any sense)

medical dramas are most of the time sub plots for romance and law related ones too, if it's a revenge drama you have to have your inhuman evil characters who has no reason for what s/he does after when the drama becomes too long for it's own good, the list goes on and on

so far i've learned to ignore stupid stuff and apprecriate them for what they are, as long as the plot is good and the leads are progressive and don't turn into some stupid love puppies after meeting a guy/girl i'm cool with some dramatic falls that turn into kisses

afterall there are fast food kinda dramas as well as hearty home meals and proper restaurant dishes and unforgettable 5 star ones, at the end they all have their own beauty and charms

i've seen the ending all right,
which part of my comment suggests that i didn't ?

"the father has issues like most of humans" this was my point exactly, he has issues that can't be overlooked by couple of light hearted jokes and him being a blood donor(which he is quite irresponsible by being inebriated most of the time)

anyways, everyone has different opinions and i love this drama as a whole, in fact the last episode won back all the brownie points back for me but in ep 7 i wasn't okay how they downplayed bareun's hardships with his father(they almost made him into a bad son for not knowing his father's "inner/hidden self" , as if all of those years was his misunderstanding )

plot is more about human to human interactions rather than being filled with legal explanations, it's approach to law is quite light hearted when it comes to terms
despite law being the main focus i would rather call it's genre slice of life + family + romance + comedy

i guess they intended to gather sympathy for the father in court but i have none for him, had he shown sincerity for his own children when it was due, who knows maybe they wouldn't turn out this way

i agree with boreum " those without ability should not try to look after others" you can share what is in your pocket but loaning from others so that can you share with everyone isn't out of your goodness, it is called being selfish and that greed eventually hurts the people you are the closest, it is being ungrateful to those people when you ignore their hardships and choose to help strangers in the expense of them

boreun's father is such a trash and no matter how many scenes they show us him caring about boreum can not change the fact that he was irresponsible

as for oh reum, she was lucky to got a new family after such a hard ordeal but not everyone is as blessed

ps. i wonder how boreun's father can donate that much blood while being drunk most of the time -_-
"Please avoid smoking on the day before donating. You can smoke 3 hours after donation. You will not be eligible to donate blood if you have consumed alcohol 48 hours before donation."
he is keeping an extra battery for emergency calls for blood donation but he isn't eligible to do so most of the time, what a joke

i have a huge rant for the ep 7, they were trying to pull viewers heartstrings yet it was such a bs way to do it

aesthetics of this drama was truly pleasing to the eye, editing was smooth too, first 4 episodes was just perfect, emotional, intriguing, fast paced but that's as far as my compliments can go cause writer just messed up perfectly good plot and chacaracters, after 4 eps each and every character became lack luster *sigh *

there was no emotional pull between the team, when one of them was kidnapped they couldn't be more chill about it, there was no back story nor connection enough for viewer to care about characters' well being (unlike the first 4 eps)

anyways it seems writer wanted to squeeze everything into 20 episodes without enough character development so we've got this mess in the end

ps. i dropped it somewhere over half mark, even gorgeousness of moon chae won and lee jun ki couldn't make me complete this

imo it's not a double ending, unlike the other parallel episodes this was continuation of the 10th ep directly in the world where otaro is alive so it's an epilogue

those who wants to know about the ending i translated the important parts :)

i've seen the parallel ending and to sum it up, otaro told what happened between them to saiko as if it was just a dream of his

at the end saiko said " i would like to hear more about that dream and i'm sure me from the dream regretted it, she would've wanted to know more about you and i too" (meaning that the current saiko wants to know more about him too)

after that he asks that if she is hungry



sooo i think it's a happy ending after all

ps. in the middle otaro asked if she was dating(going out) with hasabe, saiko answered the question in the literal sense(as in just going to somewhere with him ) and said yes, there we could see his jealousy and relief right after saiko said something along the lines they just hang out,

overall he is still in love with saiko and saiko is interested in him, way to start a relationship right,

btw i wonder if they ever will be able to kiss normally and can she kiss him in other places and not time leap hmm

haruki said to otaro even when he went back he would still use saiko since ppl didn't change easily, therefore he chose not to take advantage of saiko, he wanted to fix all the lives he ruined by going back to the very start

where did you watch the 9th ep?

after a heart wrenching drama like this it's always hard to go back to good old romcoms, I cried freaking too much while watching this but damn if it wasn't worth it.

just go ahead and watch this, to curse at world and thank to your beloved people around you cause at the end they're the ones making this world livable

I've started watching k/j dramas in 2008 but here my picks from 2007
Hana yori dango season 2, coffee prince, hana kimi, proposal daisakusen

there were some plot holes alright but it was a good suspense drama if not great, ending felt as if the writer wanted it to be a happy ending although with all that happened it wasn't an option but they went with it anyways
yet I believe that was what black wanted to happen and not what actually happened, the whole scene was washed in all bright and pinky tones unlike the whole theme of the drama so it felt like dream instead of the reality
at least that's my take on the ending

No offense but I freaking hate the whole Itakiss franchise, can't believe that they keep producing re-makes even now, it's almost 2018 but "stupid girl falls in love with the jerk" theme is popular as ever

i really don't care what others say cause this drama really lightened up my day, it's not something for prolonged watch but after a long week this drama is perfect to binge on friday nights, I had some really good laughs thanks to this :)
btw even the romance dramas from ocn has to have some sort of criminal thrown into the mix XD

still it was worth it and I'll rewatch it after some time

when you think about the plot and how everything was in such a messed up web( i mean that in the most awesome way) ending was as happy as they could make but damn I cried a river
