I thought they had abandoned the Gatsby theme. I mean it really doesn't follow the story at all. But at least Mia Farrow could act. I mean I wouldn't mind her being totally awful if at least the actress could act a little bit.

I love this drama so far. But I am really sad, and actually cannot understand, how they managed to make so many lovable characters - even the older brother is just awesome when that kind of character is so often terrible - but then fail on EVERY level with the 2nd female lead. I mean, I normally hate 2nd female leads anyhow. But at least sometimes they are well acted or interestingly nasty. She is not only one of the bitchiest, most irredeemably awful 2nd females I've ever seen in a romcom, she is also an absolutely abysmal actress in a cast full of great acting. Terrible. She is flat out terrible. I cannot understand such bad casting and bad writing of a character. She takes a warm and fun romcom and then sucks the air out of every scene she is in. You are left wondering why the hell Geon Woo acts like such an ass for this walking piece of cardboard crap. It's totally nonsensical in an otherwise adorable drama filled with characters I love. Bummer.

OMG! How freaking cute are Byun Yo Han and Song Ji Hyo?! I've seen SJH in several dramas and she has always been serviceable but pretty flat for me. But she is so cute and warm in this and I think that has so much to do with a fun script and the awesomeness of Byun Yo Han!

I will be watching ALL of them (at least to start). But I could see dropping Beautiful Bride if it doesn't nab me right away. I'd only be watching for the writer because I love Cruel City so much.

I've only ever seen Kim Soo Hyun play serious roles (or where he is serious but there is comedy around him), Moon/Sun, Giant and ...From Another Star, and although I find him beautiful and good at crying, I didn't think his acting was super-special in those roles. HOWEVER, with Producer I am finally seeing the awesomeness. When he plays a hapless kind of dork, he is pure gold. And I guess that is made doubly funny by him being so pretty. He is much better as a dork than he is as a suave cool guy. I love the heck out of him in Producers.

How did this guy become so good at acting so fast?! Just watched episode 9 of Hwajung and he is amazing and amazing to look at. Can't wait to see what he brings for the rest of the drama.

I watch a lot more Kdramas than I do Asian films (although I've seen some). That's why it cracked me up when I saw this list and I had seen (and really really liked) everything on it! Great list!

So good. So very, very good. Anyone not watching this is cheating herself.

Awww. This drama is so silly and fluffy but oh so cute! It's really comfortable to watch something this light from time to time.

Aw. This is really cute. I like the leads. Nothing great, but light fluffy fun. NMW's character is a bit too ridiculous but hopefully we'll see why he's like that eventually.

The loveline is supposed to be between the Princess and the character that Seo Kang Joon plays. All the royals really are siblings/half siblings.

I originally gave it a 10 because of my love for it. So I definitely understand. I love Flower Boy Ramen Shop!!!! I've watched it twice. I'll have to check out Queen of the Office. Thanks!

As good as it gets. Perfection.

Yeah, but the great news is that the last episode was PERFECT! I'm glad it was only 20 since it seemed like they really had a plan and knew how to wrap it up right. If it had been longer it would have rambled. Such a great last ep!

What a beautiful drama. Not earth shattering. But really beautiful and enjoyable. And a truly excellent last episode (which so few dramas have)! I'll write a review some time soon.

Really excellent. This is from a first time script writer that won an award. I expect good things from her in the future. Kdramaland needs fresh, challenging stuff like this. She can replace the hack that wrote Hyde, Jekyll and Me.

19 just horrible beyond belief episodes, 1 that was okay, and a whole lot of suck all the way around except for the glorious and awesome and highly professional Hyun Bin who was the ONLY thing that made me watch this utter piece of crap beginning to end. This drama really does prove that I would literally watch certain actors that I love read the phone book if it was online. Because, frankly, Binnie reading the phone book would have done less harm to my brain than this drama. In conclusion, Hyun Bin is awesome; this drama is one of the worst I've ever watched from beginning to end. And I feel really bad for Binnie having to do this crap and having it on his resume now. I do not recommend it to anyone. I do recommend that it be burned in effigy and that the writer never, ever work in TV again. In fact the writer needs to go somewhere where she(?) can never touch a keyboard or even so much as a pencil again.

I haven't heard anything, but I know that it was originally going to be 24 episodes - still says 24 on Dfever. It says 20 here on MDL. So I don't actually know what is correct.

It's funny you said that you felt what was missing is that you didn't like any of the characters because that is exactly why I dropped it. I mean I like revenge-y type dramas and I liked the cast and the acting was all very good. And the directing was polished. It had everything I needed in a drama normally, but I absolutely hated the characters. I thought they all deserved to wind up in prison or living in an alley somewhere. No matter how hard I tried I never cared about any of them.

I think that there's a lot to be said for having at least one character to root for. I mean even if a drama is, say, Nail Shop Paris bad, still there was Song Jae Rim's character and that was enough to keep me watching.

LOL. I almost dropped it mid-17 too - that was the worst of the worst. But instead I just read a recap, and then went on to 18. And I'm glad I did. 18 was the best episode of this show by a long mile. It actually was really good and enjoyable. I recommend as your reward for having suffered through 17.5 episodes of this drama.
