No problem. Chicago Typewriter isnt on my list but I have thought about adding it a few times because it has a few elements from some of my favourite dramas. Might give it a try later. I am a person who picks dramas depending on my mood, because I like a lot of different things - historical, rom-com, action, investigation and police dramas, time travelling, sometimes even melodramas (not too often tho). And usually if I feel like watching a korean drama, then the next ones will also be korean, and if I feel like watching thai, then the next ones will be thai, and so on. If I had to pick between all languages, korean dramas are my favourite and I have recently started to learn korean so my plan to watch list is mostly filled with korean dramas. XD

Same thing, I respect your opinion too. I read some of those comments of people who werent going to watch it because of the cheating but then did and agreed with it. But like you said, I have a very well formed opinion about this and if the cheating is presented in a positive light it is one more reason for me not to watch it no matter how good the drama is, because I would be going against what I believe is right. It might seem odd that I am this firm about it but if I watched it and ended up liking it to the point of agreeing with the motives for the cheating, then I would be having a fight with my own conscience. There are so many good dramas out there that I don’t feel like Im missing something from avoiding dramas with cheating, be it presented in a negative or positive way. So I thank you for the recommendation but I would rather stay away from it. :)

Yeah, you can watch it raw on LINE TV by setting your vpn to Thailand but its all raw. Its hard to find it with english subs.

No. And from what I read about it, I probably wont ever watch it. I read the female lead is married, and no matter how bad a marriage is or how many excuses there are, I see it as something that is not right. I never get into any dramas or movies knowing there will be any kind of cheating. It is one thing when I dont know and start watching it, but if I know ahead of time, no matter how good it is, I wont watch it. I had that problem with a thai drama that has high ratings. I was enjoying it until the male lead cheats on the female lead not once, but twice. Dropped instantly at that episode.

I liked it but I felt if it wasnt for the cast and a few other things I liked, I might have dropped it. The story itself has many flaws. The concept is good and the flashbacks with the children and teenager cast were pretty interesting - a mix of cute, funny and sad. But I felt that there was no need for 16 episodes with this plot. The result would have been better with either less episodes or a better developed story. Anyway, its a good one time watch, but I probably wont watch it again, at least not the entire thing. A drama with a similar concept - friends become lovers is Fight For My Way. That one was a pleasant surprise for me as I had no expectations when I started it and it ended up being one of my favourite kdramas of 2017.

Dont love it, dont hate it, just watched it for the sake of watching it. I guess I have watched way too many dramas so its getting harder and harder to find dramas that I find super interesting. There were a few things about this one that I liked but most of the time I was bored and skipping scenes. Felt like the story was going around in a circle just to drag it long enough for it to have 20 episodes.

The story is very slow paced, like most thai dramas, and the supporting characters were given too much screen time in my opinion. Would have liked to see more of the main couple BUT I admit that it were those same characters that helped them fall in love for each other and realize their feelings later. Of course there were some characters that instead of helping were making things more difficult, but I will leave it at that.

It was not perfect, had many flaws and boring moments but overall I liked it. The plot and main characters were a little different from what we see in most dramas, be it thai, taiwanese, korean, chinese or japanese.... and that was refreshing. I gave it a 7/10.

True. One of the reasons I had a hard time sticking with Bride of Haebak was that I read the manhwa some years ago and when I heard a k-drama was being made based on it, I got super excited and had high expectations. Turns out that the k-drama was completely different from the manhwa, if the name was not the same I would not even know it was based on it. So yeah, that set me up for disappointment.

I think the person’s mood is also important when watching a drama. And also how many dramas you watched before. There are dramas that I watched years ago that I liked a lot and that I now find boring. Who knows, maybe in a few years I will look back at the rating I gave this drama and be like...WHAT, why did I give this such a high rating?? It sucks! XD

Well, this was hard to watch. Most sites dont have all the episodes subbed and the ones that had, the videos kept loading because the servers were super overloaded. So yeah, I could not enjoy it as much because of that and it took a lot longer to finish it than it should have. BUT I agree with the review that says this one is better than both the korean and taiwanese versions. I prefer korean dramas over all other dramas from other countries, but I did think this version was less frustrating than the korean one and the male lead also acted a little less like a jerk??? compared to the one in the korean version.

I liked the first one but this one came off as fake. The feelings the characters had for each other seemed fake or not sincere enough. The first few episodes were nice but then it fell apart. If you can ignore everything that is wrong with it, then you might still like it but for me the way the female lead delt with her and other people’s feelings was not the right way and that made it hard for me to be happy for them at the end.

Cute but too short even for a drama special. It’s not even as long as a movie. So sadly there was not enough time to develop the story and characters. Felt like I was watching a short recap of an entire drama, and yet there were still some boring scenes. It’s not bad but I have seen a lot better for these type of short dramas. I know in some cases less is more but this is a case of less is less.

Hopefully XD

Cute, not as short as a movie or as long as a normal drama. I was quite busy and didn’t want to start a new drama that I wouldn’t be able to keep watching, but a movie would be too short too. 5 hours well spent, you can watch it in 1 afternoon or like me - half after dinner and before going to bed and then the other half the next morning. 7/10

You are welcome! :)

The title should not be The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang, it should be Soo Baek Hyang, The King's Daughter That Never Got To Be a Princess Because of Her Evil Little Sister, but then that would be too long and a huge spoiler.

Anyway, although I felt like dropping it a few times, skipped a lot of scenes and felt frustrated most of the times because of Seol Hee, in the end I did not drop it and I don’t regret watching it.
Although it was a long one with 108 episodes, I felt like I needed 1 or 2 more because the ending was a little lacking. I wanted to see Seol Nan go back to the palace, become queen and have cute little babies or something.

Neither of them has a sad ending. But in each version she ends up with a different person. In the extended (original) version she ends up with the second male lead/best friend and in the directors cut she ends up with the male lead. I liked the extended versions ending better because the best friend’s love for her was more sincere in my opinion and he also treated her way better than the male lead. One of the things that made me not even bother to watch the directors cut is how the male leads actions (or lack of them) put the female lead in a very dangerous situation and if it wasnt for her best friend coming to the rescue...I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened to her...all while the male lead was having fun at one of those elegant kind of parties. I have seen a lot of main leads acting like jerks, but this one I could not tolerate. Glad the awesome second male lead was there to save the day, or this would have been a disaster and I would have dropped it like a hot potato. I cannot understand people who wanted her to end with the male lead just because of the actor playing him...yeah, he is hot and korean but the character he is playing sucks.

Exactly. I have had Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People in my plan to watch list for quite some time and since the female lead is the same and a lot of people say that drama is good, I will give it a try now. It’s a historical so it will be a completely different story, but it’s not like there are many korean dramas with a similar plot to this one. (although japanese dramas are filled with robots)

From what I read Madam X was his buttler. He was also the one who put that paper in his jacket when he was a kid saying not to sign anything. About the things in the cabinet. He liked the umbrella so much that he followed the products sold by the same person online and I guess online it would say where she would be selling the things and he would pay someone on the street to go and buy the items for him, just like he did in the first episode when he paid Ji Ah to buy him that figure. These are just the conclusions I reached. I skipped a few scenes so I might have missed something. When I rewatch this I will probably get those 2 things cleared. XD

At first the title and description left me a little confused and I thought this would be too silly and not worth my time. But then one night I had no idea what to watch next and this was still ongoing, only 12 episodes were out. I decided to give it a try. If I did not like it I could drop it right away and save my time for something else. That night I ended up watching all of the 12 episodes and regretted not that I watched it, but that I did not wait for all the episodes to come out before I started watching it. And if you already watched this, you would understand my struggle, specially the way episode 12 ended.

Usually I feel that a drama is very long and should have less episodes....this one left me wishing there was more. I did skip a few scenes, but not because they were boring or they were not important to the plot, but because I couldnt wait to see the main couple. I found myself smiling at my computer’s screen several times throughout the drama. One of my favourite 2017 dramas. 9/10

I really liked the first 17 episodes and at that point I felt like everything that needed to happen, had already happened and that the drama should probably end a few episodes later, like at episode 20 for example. But guess what - this is 40 episodes long. Which means that the second half was far from being as good as the first half. A drama that was good for not being cliché, had to end up using some of those to keep the story going. There was no need for this to be so long. Do I regret watching it? No. But I definitely could have used my time better. There are a lot of better dramas out there. I watched it until the end just for the sake of completing it.
