So I have now watched both episodes with subs and it looks quite promising. I prefer this slow build-up more than the dramas where the 6 first eps are amazing and then goes downhill. It is not flashy or fast paced AT ALL which could be the reason why so many find it unimpressive. Not quite sure why they decided to make it 24 eps cause in my honest opinion they could've made one really good episode with the content from these two first eps. Second episode was definitely more my style and things started to make much more sense.
I am actually so intrigued by Pyo Na Ri's dream to become an anchor and will probably finish this drama only for that if I don't find the romance interesting enough hahahah. Will she succeed? How will she prove herself? Will she find and cover badass news? Will Lee Hwa Shin be of help or not? WILL SHE LEARN HOW TO SAY NO TO PEOPLE?
I don't know if it's too early to say this but I'm pretty sure this will be really good. That is how much I trust my fave actress Gong Hyo Jin and Jo Jung Suk has never failed to amaze me with his acting even when the storyline isn't all that great. I just watched the preview and it looks like a pretty light romcom but it still has quite a serious undertone. The acting won't be a problem here so FINGERS CROSSED FOR A THOUGHT OUT STORY AND NICE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! Will be back on Friday and give you my initial reaction to the first two eps :)
Nice article! Was thinking about writing one if no one else did because people gotta know about this heartwarming drama. Waiting in agony for the next two eps. I just have to mention the 5 main actresses (can you believe all the mains are female and the occasional guys are all supporting), holy crap their performances have been so good so far!
Give this a chance people and take a breather from real life. I almost always end up teary-eyed or immensely happy whilst watching this! Really refreshing camera work and directing as well. The bonus at the end of each episode is such a great touch! You will know what I mean once you've started it hehehe :)))))
I think I've finally found a drama after 'It's okay, That's love' that is as equally fascinating, frustrating, emotional but overall just pure GOLD. Two very different dramas but I am feeling things and giggling all by myself and that is not an easy thing to make me do. Started it yesterday and am already at ep 8. Will have to write a CW article if someone else won't because holy crap people can not miss out on this brilliant show!!!
How can this be so freaking cringey yet SO GOOD???? I haven't smiled this much watching a drama (ep 12 especially) for quite some time and I am not complaining! Completely head over heels for the male lead for once, Ryu Joon Yeol plays the charmingly awkward character so incredibly well and when he turns that frown upside down you don't even have a chance. GAME OVER. YOU ARE NOW IN LOVE. CONGRATULATIONS!
I love that there are more to the characters than what you can see on the surface. Their backstories have had a huge impact on who they've become today but hopefully with the help of each other they can resolve some of their issues that has been with them for far too long.
Don't even get me started on the supporting characters! How they all can be so well written is beyond me. I want every single person to find a happy ending. Is this the first time I don't wish death upon a character in a drama?! Two girls actually stay friends even though they like the same guy?!?!? *GASP*
If I had to complain about something it would only be that I feel like Bo Nui has been slightly overshadowed by Su Ho's character and whether this is because of the writing or the acting...well I'm not so sure yet so I'll wait 4 more eps to decide on this one.
Do yourselves a favor, if you are into rom-coms, and watch this now!!!:)
Yessssss is my answer if you're wondering whether you should watch this or not!
Loving this so much already and I've only seen 2 episodes (might be a new record for me wow). Maybe it's just my love for good vs bad or just clever plots like this one but I am totally and completely HOOKED.
Ma Dong Seok portrays the kind and hard-working Baek Song Il so well, my heart broke a little a couple of times during these episodes but he's a man with strong values and morals and I believe in him to not give in to the money loving society we live in today.
Looking forward to his and Seo In Guk's partnership and what crazy methods they're gonna use to bring some justice!!! FIGHTING 38 TASK FORCE!
No not yet unfortunately! I felt inspired one evening and made a fanmade poster hehehe~ Let's hope for this drama to fully take advantage of the great main leads :')
Gahhhhh! Have you guys seen the character posters I can't believe how good they look in their costumes. WHY IS PARK SEO JOON IN LONG HAIR THE MOST ATTRACTIVE THING EVER?!?
I just finished a fanmade poster with the new pictures and I hope it is accepted until an official one is released. So hyped for this drama let's hope it turns out as great as it's cast!
My first 10/10. One of my favorite, if not favorite, dramas of all time. This is the result of great writing, directing, music to set the mood, and of course the amazing acting.
I have re-watched it each time I suggest it to someone and watch it along with them. And the funniest part is when you can see the moment they have fallen just as hard for it. I can't quite put it into words but it has this special charm where it just seems so real and next thing you know you're actually in that world. Still trying to find a drama that will top this one for me.
IF YOU ARE WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD WATCH IT, DO IT RIGHT NOW, WATCH IT!!
