thank you Sometimes I try to llook through the character names in each drama to find the actual name of the drama but had trouble this time. thnx!

I liked them. First as an introduction to this drama we see two intelligent people who don't really give up on each other but always trying to outwit each other to HAVE each other. I also felt they showed the most longing for each other. And to be fair ,every single couple had back and forth. In fact, I knew from the beginning who the youngest sister would end up with and I so looked forward to that story. But I found it so tiresome how many eps were spent beating and testing her husband. They made his character into flinching puppy and I didn't enjoy that.

clearly its a business decision that is working or it wouldn't be happening

I just saw a vertical drama of his on YT called 'The Rose is Poisonous, Yet the Big Boss Willingly Bows to Her..' I don't know what the original title is. I was so impressed with his acting.. Enough to make me search him out here on MDL.. I don't see this drama in his list above tho?

I am not usually a 'rewatcher', but the copy cat dramas made me miss it.. I thought I would give it a try to see if it still kept my interest. This was around a year ago. I couldn't stop watching it, watched all the way through.

My thought has always been that Junhwa's character would always have the possibility of going to the dark side... But I always believed that he would end up on the right side, even if he slips for a bit, and the power for the good of the country would be in those 4 roomies:)

While Sungkyunkwan Scandal is one of my all time favs, I always watch the ones that follow to see if they will be good. I always wish I was watching Sungkyunkwan Scandal again.

didn't read your whole comment, I get it.. haha Wow, an offhand remark really brings out the uptight, rigid commenters. I already understand the whole concept, but if it makes you feel superior saying, enjoy. I'm done with the silliness.

Yes, I just started it, but came for comments. It doesn't make sense she pushes everyone away..

:) Well, art is in the eye of the beholder, we all know that:) And I find some art 'dreck' and it hangs in museums haha... I think when you have a film project, it involves a creative vision.. and artistic leaning to want to create that vision, and the production crew work to achieve it. I think it's art, even if I think it's lacking.

yes, I'm from the US and there have been many school shootings that a gun and school mixture on a poster would be a trigger for many people . I completely know this isn't made for the US, but let's not pretend they don't know they have western viewers.

Well bro, it does look great.. I didn't say it didn't. and duh, I know it wasn't made for the US. Just mentioned it will trigger some people. It was an offhand remark.

where can I watch this?

Probably not the best idea for a poster tho...

Well, I guess it's what kind of meaning is being talked about? I find many people want to have a moral to the story, or a lesson learned in all their entertainment. I always wonder why can't a story just be a story? If you watched someone's biography, perhaps there wouldn't be a great meaning to their story, it just was.. and the art is in the telling. So that's what I mean, it doesn't have to have a profound meaning or lesson... but it does have to effect us. That is what art does, it effects us emotionally.

That was my point.. Those things I mentioned ARE Sci Fi...But if we're going to restrict what Sci Fi is, and say it must have 'meaning' and can't be 'fantasy' also... that it must be realistic... Then there is much, if not all Sci Fi entertainment that needs to be recategorized.

I didn't say Wuxia was Sci Fi... it is not. I was pointing out that some people swallow a camel but strain on a gnat. I don't mean you. I understand your points, and they are well written. I found his leaping out silly, as I did the very, very long scenes of watching fruit flies mate or surgery on a mouse. This show has bigger problems than him jumping out to save her. We all know the intent of the writers to write that scene. It's another plot device you either suspend belief for or not. You can't, I understand. I personally didn't care about it, I can't feel moved by this show, it's done poorly. My reason for responding was actually because you said "but sci-fi has a meaning. It's not supposed to be fantasy."... and those are often genres that are mixed.. And Sci Fi doesn't have to have 'meaning' really. That's not a criteria. But now I am straining on a gnat:)
Have a good day/night!

Well, I always like romance.. I get it's not everyone's fav.. And because I like that genre I am sad that some of my fav romantic leads don't do romantic roles when they age. I can guess all the reasons why that happens, but I don't like it :)
Edit: Also, that why I added the parenthesis with ( or they choose)... Because I understand, maybe they are thrilled they don't have to do romance anymore... Or perhaps their spouse is..:) Or they want to stretch their acting chops... happens all the time.. I just miss them in romance.

it doesn't say romance in the genre, but it could be added later...hopefully:). I really think when stars age they get relegated to ( or choose to do ) thrillers, business, spy, biographies , etc, or god forbid, parents of the newbie stars. I am not done seeing these men in romantic roles, actors like Gong Yoo, Jo In Sung, Cha Seung Won etc.

Well, this sentence -> "but sci-fi has a meaning. It's not supposed to be fantasy." Isn't really in touch tho, imo.
Did you find Klingons realistic? Wookies? Teleporting, warp speed? Sci fi is not realistic docu type storytelling. They take artistic license all the time in Sci Fi movies and dramas.
Even if we find it absurd to have him throw himself out into space to save her, I wonder why we are so accepting of people who can fly and walk on trees to save the damsel in distress in Wuxia dramas? Or get stabbed by a sword many times or fall of a cliff and still keep living? Because we are willing to suspend belief and just enjoy. I think the problem with this drama is it's pacing for the most part. It's a novel idea, and I like both the leads. I knew the 'cheating' story would unfold in a way that they wouldn't be cheating because SK writers aren't going to have these stars in this type of production be low lifes.
I think the mouse operation was supposed to be the bonding between the two characters, but it was so OTT serious and way too long of a scene that it became silly and tiresome. The director is boring us, he has ingredients to make something different, but he's losing the audience. imo. I have only stuck with it so far because I like the two leads and I'm willing to give it a chance. I like all the actors, and there are many subplots that could go in unexpected ways. I appreciate the effort to try and give us a feel of the anti gravity, but you know, astronauts hair floats to, :) They are just keeping the actors nice looking, and I don't see anyone complaining about that, haha
