Really enjoy these short Special Dramas. Especially when they are well done like this. No dragging things out episode after episode creating a bunch of cliched scenarios just to keep the story going for x number of hours. But mostly I love that I get to see Lee Joon-Hyuk again. I have loved him since Equator Man and every drama since then that I have seen him in... Three Brothers, I am Legend, Spring Day of My Life, Bluebird House and more I know I must have seen him in City Hunter, but it has been too many years to remember him. Anyway...9/10 for me just because I think I was in the right mood for this one and really enjoyed it.

Something about 1%....she was dragging him all over the place! My favorite was when she was trying to find a restaurant for lunch and had ahold of his thumb!! and was pulling him behind her.

Just marathoned the first 6 episodes. REALLY wish I had waited for it to be closer to done. Never expected it to be this good!

Hate all of these equally. Add in psycho ex or wanna be girlfriends who no one ever talks down and dirty to and my head is about to explode. AND WE ARE ALL STILL WATCHING AND BITCHING!! THE perfect cure for all of these scenarios is Something About 1%. I cannot thank this drama more...which is why I have watched it 8 times! Love love love love love the kisses in this...knee melting! (watch all the kisses replay, including one that got cut, at the end of the final episode) The mom agonizes over being mean and then totally gives in. The lead girl mouths off to both our lead guy and rips his ex....repeatedly. LOVE her to death! Love how he retains his power as a man and at the same time totally turns pathetic when he screws up! The biggest problem with this drama is that they ended up editing OUT so much because the big networks didn't pick it up and it ended up on an unknown broadcaster station. Still...if you haven't watched it and need something to offset your frustration with all these tropes...watch them turn all of them on their heads in this one...it's like they made it just to do that.

LMAO...oh yeah...30+ women in kdrama who are gorgeous (but the drama says they are ugly---as if) and never dated nor kissed anyone...right. That's SO believable. It's been beaten to DEATH!

hmmm...I'm out of the loop on this one. I am a big fan of Sin City and have watched it several times. I won't watch this again. Was it my mood? I don't know but I just could not build a connection with the story on this one. Love the actors, Le Je Hoon is a big favorite and him being in anything means I'll be watching. The kids were adorable. And Kim Sung Kyun was scary bad. But the actual story was just ho hum for me. It felt disconnected or choppy or something. From the first moment I just could not get interested in what was going on and kept pausing and coming back to finish. Nice to look at for sure, tho the cinematography doesn't compare with Sin City, it was still good.

open...like Marriage Contract. The prognosis does not change but the ending is, for all purposes, as happy as it can be.

Kisses was marked by the "Ministry of Banishment" (aka Korean Communications Commission for its "unethical development and indirect product placement". SMH Major Cultural disconnect.

Love the homage to CITT (Cheese in the Trap) in ep 7! She appears to be at the same college, walking by the same lake. But the Goblin’s statements (about the baseball player)…’I should have broken his wrist’ and ‘he should have kept playing the piano’ had me on the floor LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

the link above is wrong...it's for the 2015 movie of the same name.

he should get at least a best actor nomination for Awl...but that entire drama was amazing! I've seen A Thousand Kisses and remember liking it well enough to drop everything else I was watching and marathon it. It had it's problems, but watching him was the #1 reason why I was glued to my screen (see my comment...my loooong comment). 8.5 My Sweet Seoul had good acting, BAD story. Did not like it at all 5.5. I watched Birth of the Rich years ago, don't remember much about it but remember I did like it and gave it a 7 with a note maybe 7.5. Don't remember Invincible much but remember being bored and thinking the acting was meh 6.5 LOVED In Hyun of course.

p.s.-ran across a blog on Fever on Thousand Kisses where there was this sentence: "When Ji Hyun Woo first came onscreen, I admit all I could think is "how ugly!" WHAT???!!! I read it like 5 times trying to figure out if there was supposed to be sarcasm there. I guess different eyes and hearts see people differently?

totally my fav too. I'm still praying for someone to make films of Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series! :) Before I die! Better than Rooftop for me, but honestly, I try not to compare dramas anymore. I'm old. After so many years of film and almost 5 years of K, I TRY to just find the joy in every show or film I watch and not criticize too much...especially so early in the show's episodes. I'm a bit frustrated with the negativity on this one. But I also try to ignore that...because no one's opinion but my own really makes a difference when watching a show or reading a book! :)

Yeah, really me too (I won't live long enough for 1,000)...for the gorgeous cinematography, the lovely story with such a great balance of joy and pathos, the wonderful cast, and just over the top production of this show. And, for me, the happiness of a well done sci fi fantasy show, with excellent CGI that isn't OTT or intrusive, but just FITS. It's my favorite genre so I'm ignoring all the haters and just enjoying the ride and appreciating the enormous amount of work that went into this. I hope they make a bundle off this because I'm betting it cost a fortune. And we won't be seeing more of these kinds of show unless they make money off them.

I'm going to watch this drama 1,000 times...I just know it

Didn't invent the wheel here. Highly Predictable, VERY melo, B movie. Not much to it. Not horrible. Not all that good either. Just okay for me. 7-7.5 or so

Well, both of us are obviously 'wrong'! It was just voted Best Foreign Film by LA film critics. We obviously have no taste! :( Sometimes when this happens to me...when I don't like or do like a film that most others have an opposite reaction to, I wonder what it is that is or isn't resonating with me that so many others are seeing or feeling that I am not. Was I in the wrong mood that day? But...I just don't care enough to go back and watch it again to find out. However, if you were nearby and felt the same, we could watch it together and perhaps find out! :) lol

Very good film, well written and acted and terrific sets and cinematography. A lot of attention to detail in this one. It's DARK and scary, but not OTT dark and scary. Just enough to give goosebumps and a bit of pounding heart. Really enjoyed it a lot! 8.5/10

I am all over the place on this one. On the good side, I found it loads of cheesy fun and surprisingly addictive considering...the bad side. This thing was at least 6-8 episodes TOO LONG. They beat the premise to death when they had at least a ghost's chance to resolve it with some degree of believability. But then they spent the last episodes dragging their feet over the main conflict, going back and forth with the good guy and bad guys exchanging 'wins' that were totally unexplainable, completely undeveloped and out of the blue, and completely nonsensical. There were enough plot holes to drive the White Truck of Doom through! The idiotic ending just had my eyes rolling. So cartoonish. Not that the core resolution of who dies and who doesn't wasn't completely predictable (except maybe one), it was just the way they handled it that cheapened it and made it eye-rollingly cheesy. Still...the good outweighed the bad. I still enjoyed it overall...just ended up ff through A LOT of the last half dozen or so episodes....mostly the overused fight scenes. The fact that I never put this on hold and marathoned it straight through means there was 'something' (what, I still cannot figure out) that kept me wanting to keep watching. 7/10 pushing it.
