i'm still feeling kind of meh about this, but i'll give it a few more eps. BTW, what is with all the HIDEOUS drawings. seriously looks like they were drawn by whoever does the instructional illustrations inside a box of tampons.

i only counted one use of SOP in this drama

he was the one who was in charge of the random english lines.

i was thinking it sounded vaguely like you're the best Lee Soon Shin

i'm so happy he's doing more acting

naw, i'm a chick and i thought it didnt live up to the hype.

it's a TV show, though they are certainly tackling some issues, like sexism, in a way more realistic than usual, it is still just a TV show. it no more portrays real korean culture than shows like All My Children depict real life in america.

i'm finding it difficult to get past ep 5. this line of character and plot development is complete and utter horseshit. even in dramaland i just CAN NOT buy that 1. HYM believes KDC killed her brother and does absolutely nothing about it aside from play snarky ex for the 1st 4 eps. 2. lets entertain the stupidty of point 1 for a moment. i get her not mentioning it to anyone, maybe she's trying to get some dirt on him to nail his ass and they just arent showing it, aside from looking for the report card. why then would she just tell him and totally blow her cover? if he was the killer he knows what you're about now and can cover his tracks. see how this just gets progressively dumber? 3. KDC, obviously traumatized by his experience, does what? antagonizes her and basically dares her to prove it was him? further and further down the rabbit hole we arrive at point 4. they both just go back to work like NOTHING FREAKING HAPPENED?!! i'm sorry drama land, i will forgive you birth secrets and kissing cousins, sneeze induced amnesia and double agents, and all manner of other implausable events but this? NO. human beings do not behave like this. the characters you have created wouldnt behave like this. you are ruining an otherwise awesome drama.

i should have waited till this finished airing.

actually it was originally planned to be 20 but it got cut short b/c of some sports things.

i'm on episode 6 or 7 ish and so far i think they embrace the weird, and it's a good thing. it's almost as if some genius that i want to hug said "there is no way we pull this off if we take it too seriously" and so they've given in to the cheese. i really like it. k-drama has a habit of advertising a drama with an off the wall premise, like the alien thing in you who came from the stars, then that element is really not central to the story. that's what's happened here.

how much skinship is there? are we talking about hand holding and maybe the ocassional hug or have there been actual kisses yet?

though i'm still watching and enjoying the show, i feel this is a perfect storm of awkward for No Min Woo.he's already a REALLY pretty dude. it almost goes past androgeny to "dude looks like a lady"., which is cool with me.then his character is boyish, so much so that he has trouble looking her in the eye. he's even styled to look like a little boy and He's lost weight since FH2, which {despite his well defined abs that they keep flashing} strips away even more of his masculinity. though the leads have reasonable chemistry, it is hard to believe that PSY's character would ever really go for a guy like him, but then i wonder if that's sort of the point they are trying to make, that she got with him b/c he's not like a man's man and maybe easier to handle

that's probably b/c the male lead is practically unheard of.

viki subbed some of the writing on the document as "Koo Dong Chi's report card" maybe viki didnt sub some relevant peice of information on the card. it seems far more likely that this report card is going to figure into a very convoluted web of drama logic to explain that HYM ditched GDC b/c that report card somehow links him to the the death of the unspecified kid who belonged to the shoe at the beginning of the episode.

this is one of the best dramas of the year if you ask me.

i think it's part writing part actress. i noticed in triangle she's one of those girls that always seems like they are mooing. there's something about the way she holds her face and talks- it's supposed to come off vunerable or sad like aegyo's emo twin, but to me it always brings to mind a cow mooing it's disapointment.

i heart Lan Bluel but it's like the hair and make up people asked them selves "what could we do to his head to make him look as ridiculous as possible." that hair cut is no good for him. :{

just started watching this. drama fever bugs the crap out of me. they are translating "sunbae" as "yoo jin". i understand translation is a subjective art but "sunbae" is in no way equivalent to the the man's name, especially in this instance when she's never met him before and he's passed out and cant tell her his name. translating it this way insults the intelligence of the viewer, assuming that using the word senior would confuse americans because we dont use that word in that way. if i didnt know anything about the korean language i would be more confused trying to figure out how this chick reached into his brain while he was passed out and learned his name than i would have been at an unusual use of the word senior. ugh sorry rant over.

actually, last is grammtically correct. in all english speaking countries the word last can be used to describe the most recent installment of anything that is on going. english speakers refer to the year previous to this one as "last year" i might refer to my most recent trip to my mother's as my "last trip" there. my friend might say "i liked Vixx's last song". certainly 2013 was not the final year for planet earth, i definately plan to make another trip to see my mother, and Kpop gods willing, Vixx will release more songs.
