the 3 seasons follow different characters. both INR and INR2012 are enjoyable watches, though in the 1st one the female lead make me want to punch her in the face repeatedly.

i feel like she is being too a good a wife to Soo Hyuk for me to still totally like her when she leaves him for Moo Yeol (which is what is kind of suggested by the title) unless Soo Hyuk has a full on Shunji spiral and turns into an awful person.

i've spent the last 3 episodes wonder how THE male lead all but disappears from the show. over the last 3 shows he had MAYBE 20 minutes of screen time

i find the trick to watching the long dramas is to wait until it's done airing that way if you come across a part that's slow or boring you can just skip it.

the 1st 2 had a really simillar plot so i'm glad the went a different direction here, but who decided So Yeon should have freakin bangs, city disaprove. :{

choi jun hyuk gets his richly deserved leading man role!!!!!

for me the only time you *need* to watch a drama in marathon mode is when the waiting isnt worth what you're getting out of it. Flower boy ramyun shop for example is much improved by a marathon. i recently finished watching unemployed romance and would have much rather been done with the thing in a matter of days than the ten weeks i spent waiting for the episodes to air. i dont think any drama ever suffered from being watched in marathon mode, not for me any way.

the plot is getting lost in all the plotting.

at one point dramafever had Mars listed as "coming soon" but now it's gone .

down with love is my favorite t-drama. i've watched it twice. office girls is really good too, but the end gets kinda meh. i also highly reccomend sunny happiness (check out my review) and Mars. Mars is actually on hold for me right now b/c i'm very picky about video quality and i cant find a good vid any where, which isnt surprising given that it's almost ten years old.

i wouldnt say it gets worse but there is a great deal of aggrivation toward the end.

if you watched some of it and dropped it b/c you were bored or just didnt like it then no i wouldnt reccomend picking it back up. it is what it is and i can't say it gets any better or that anything changes

i am the only one who think he looks like a asian joseph gordon levitt?

in time with you is a solid show. i liked it. in general i find that both c and t dramas arent everybody's thing. a long time ago i wrote an article warning that you should never start a drama noob on anything in mandarin. Puff doesnt have a lot of experience so i hope that one day her skill will rise to the level of her cuteness.

Puff was more like a cartoon character. in taiwanese idol dramas i have found that the acting style is one of amplified emotion. amplified happiness, amplified surprise ect. and of course like any genre there are people who are good at it and people who are bad at it. Puff is bad at it.

i'd wait til it's done airing, that way you dont have to wait for episodes that you're probably not going to watch most of any way. normal people can only take talk about freakin milk for so long.

it was covered in the supernatural article cheerful soul did

i'll give you the same advice i gave another MLDer, watch until epsidoes 8 or 9 and then just imagine the best plot forward you can and enjoy that save yourself the aggrivation.

it's still airing, so i didnt make this years list, try back next year. ;)

unfortunately reply 1994 was not finished airing by the time the article went out. i was going to include monstar though i didnt watch it but even after reading the thread and comments i just didnt have a good enough feel for it. maybe when i finsih all the "official" year in review articles i'll do a "what didnt make it in" article :P
