The boss-secretery relationship may give a Juggler vibe. But what little I have sensed from the clips, this girl's character ain't cringingly clingy like that. Ugh...it was such a turn off.
I am really confused about this one. Thought about starting once it's completed. But I've seen some clips on youtube, the acting... umm...
I loved the original one. Took me forever to get over Oguri's character. The way he played it... flawless. My first time watching him. And oh, how I fell!
Yup.... dropped it after 11 episodes. I mean...... what the mother of frustration! Clichés can be entertaining too. This is a perpetual loop of annoyance. Noone in this show has the common sense of understanding what is right in front of them. The fickle hero and the immature heroine takes the cake for making the drama impossible to finish. The infeasible anti-heroines screaming at the top of their lungs is common in Lakorns, so I'll ignore that. I wanted to watch it for my like for Bow. The actors were doing their job just fine. This is my first time watching New and throughout the mayhem, I could just think one thing while ogling him, "Man, how are you so pretty and sparkly"!
Fantastic review! I'd read it just for the fun of reading.
I waited so long for this to finish airing, so that I can start. I love both the leads to infinity and beyond, but I don't think that will help me in the struggle of drilling through the endless age shaming of our heroine. I mean, what part of the universe is this story set up in! Why is the girl getting so much grief over dating an adult(who the f cares about the age gap; btw, what exactly is the age difference)! What kind of half-baked conservativeness is this, where the girl is allowed to do several other things that a conservative culture would never allow(trust me, I know) while bashing her for only dating a younger man! I've watched 5 episodes(that too skipping and sprinting through all the aggravating nonsense), put a hold on it for the time being. I think I'll have to take this slow burn in instalments.
P.S. I want to get inside the story and slap the jerk face off of the brother of the heroine.....grrr.
Can someone plz plz plz spoil the ending for me? I am a sucker for spoilers. And not just "Happy Ending" or "Sad Ending", plz give the gist of the ending.
Uh, no, she is 27, he is 36, that's a 9 years difference. I am not saying it's terrible, but I myself am 28, and…
Oops! My bad..... I thought I saw somewhere that his birth year is 1983. But still, doesn't matter to me as long as they don't look odd together and have chemistry and surely both parties are adult. Remember, the beloved couple of Let's Fight Ghost!
I keep putting it on hold. previously I watched 1 episode and decided to watch it once the whole part-1 and part-2 complete. Yesterday I gave it a try. watched until episode 7 and then couldn't continue. I love Untouchables, the webtoon. So I was really excited about it. But the series has made some changes like; introducing new characters, some side plots, e.t.c. I am not feeling it. And what about the photo-shoot scene with Li Shia and Zhi Hao! I am not expecting a sensuous scene like the webtoon but at least be romantic. That scene looked like they were shooting for a couch commercial. The whole presentation of the drama looks very flimsy to me.
I didn't understood the ending, they stay living together as husband and wife or is just a lapse in his time where…
Takeshi confesses his love and proposes to Sumire when leaving for Belgium for 3 years to study dance. He tells her to give the answer once he returns and asks her to wait for him. He plans to earn a living and become dependable so that he can come back and marry her. She turns down the marriage proposal from Senpai and waits for Takeshi.
Fast Forward to 3 years later.... Takeshi is a hot-shot dancer/choreographer now. They meet in the rain(the red umbrella scene), Sumire says yes to his marriage proposal(she kind of proposes to him). They get married(the wedding scene). The End.
What a bummer! I was really looking forward to watching it, once it's finished(same thing with me, I don't start a show until it's over and still maintaining the practice). I am a big fan of Kim Ji Hoon since the first time I saw him in Good Thief, Bad Thief. I saw some clips of the show on youtube and the girl does seem disappointing. Loved your article. And yes, this plot surely is overused according to me too. Just sometimes it's a spoiled, rich daughter gone broke in place of a son.
Actually, Anchun lied to San about having a baby (I don't exactly remember why she lied, it was a very small and…
Exactly, they just left out those important pieces. Thought it's an action drama but I just wish that they had given those emotional details a little more screen time. They seemed a little bit insufficient and choppy.
Had it not been my favourite koo-jin/koo-kwan, I wouldn't have watched it. Totally not my genre. All action with very little romance. I skipped through almost all the actions. Of course, it's true to the plot 'cause when everyone is running from the Devil or trying to save their country, there's no chance for romance. But still, there was romance which I completely loved.
The first and second couple were both fantastic to the point of perfection. My BAE Kimmy is as usual impeccable. All the actors did a great job playing their characters. The perks of casting a real couple can be seen here. Usually, Kimberly has great chemistry with all of her co-stars especially Mark and James Ma, but here they are like a house on fire. Their romance didn't get much screen time but whenever they were together they were oozing chemistry and the kisses were real. The second couple was amazing too. I love Alex's acting, he is so damn versatile. The action that I watched very little is very cool too. They seemed so real. I read somewhere that Mark is trained in martial arts.
I have some complaints though. I know everyone was busy saving their lives but they completely missed some important reactions or maybe I missed them while fast forwarding. Like - 1. What was Gun’s reaction when he found out that Anchun was not San’s sister and the painful story of her family? 2. Does he get to know that Anchun was pregnant with his baby? 3. Did Dokmai tell her when she was confessing while dying that she was the one who gave Anchun the poison which led to her miscarriage(I guess she had a miscarriage since she was spitting blood)?
Anyhow, it was a good watch in spite of all the skipping and unanswered questions. But I understand why so many people wanted it to be over so that Crown Princess can start. It can get boring if you are not a fan of this genre or Mark&Kim.
So excited! I love Lee Sang Yoon. BTW, what's the issue with the age gap? He is 34 and she is 27. The gap is 7 years, not 17. What's the big deal! Has nobody seen Marriage Contract? Though the lead's age gap was huge, their chemistry was amazing.
I loved the original one. Took me forever to get over Oguri's character. The way he played it... flawless. My first time watching him. And oh, how I fell!
BTW, Jang Hyuk looks ruggedly cute here❤️

Thank you, though.
Lee Sang Yoon does look older than his age.
Fast Forward to 3 years later.... Takeshi is a hot-shot dancer/choreographer now. They meet in the rain(the red umbrella scene), Sumire says yes to his marriage proposal(she kind of proposes to him). They get married(the wedding scene). The End.
Hope it helps.
