As a sequel it's very good, even if not as good as the TV series. However, it's a little contradictory for me that with the story told and the messages given, we didn't even had an explicit kiss. As much as I like and respect Akaso Eiji and Machida Keita as actors, and especially for these roles, it's a little bit disappointing that they couldn't make at least one explicit and more mature scene. In the TV series it was fine, but here it feels a little bit lacking.

It started week for me, but it kept getting better over the episodes, even if everything wasn't perfect. A good surprise !

A complex story with a lot of symbolism. Not a bright and joyful movie, but still a very good one. I liked Ayano Go a lot in this one. He is a great actor.

Yes indeed ! A totally different genre but it's a very goof movie too.

This sageuk looks very promising. I can't wait to watch this movie. The cast shouldn't disappoint and based on the trailer the story neither.

We will see, the scandal and its repercussions will be dragged on for sure. But Hae Jin accepted to move on and end things (doesn't mean his feelings disappeared) in the last episode, just before Sang Eun's identity is revealed, so I don't see him still trying to win her over in the last episodes (if it's what happens, well, the character is way too pitiful). They will probably have more interactions and potential awkward moments though.

Were they supposed to speak French during the interview at the beginning of episode 9 ? It was almost impossible to understand anything. It reminds me of the terrible French of Park Min Young's character in "Love in Contract". If the actors aren't capable to speak it good enough, they should choose another language. That's really annoying, especially because they make the characters looked like good speakers.
As for the story development, well, kind of boring, Hwang Tae Yong is the only character I really like, Lee Jong Won is the true star of this show for me.

I don't think it's a very interesting character itself, but at least he is well developed in the drama story. As Sang Eun is Hae Jin first love, that he never forgot and basically grew up searching and idealising, it makes sense that he is "obsessed" with her when he meet her again, especially when what she does for living can help him get free from his family burden (rich family problems aren't less interesting than poor family problems for me...), even though he makes questionable choices to get closer to her (but that's the basis of most love stories basically). And in the end, despite his feelings, he is aware she does not share them and finish to accept it, many episodes before the end, compared to similar triangle love stories in dramas, something which I like.

I honestly think that all the people commenting that Kang Hae Jin character is useless have really no brain. Are they even thinking ? This drama has no point to exist and no interest if this character is not in the story to serve the plot and the relationships with the other characters.
This drama isn't really bad, but it's far from being a very good rom-com neither for me. Park Min Young is good but her character is too shallow, Kim Jae Young is great but his character is too pitiful (even if I like that, for once, the looser in the love triangle isn't hoping on the woman until the end), Go Kyung Pyo is boring as hell, Kang Hyung Suk is great too and his character is actually interesting, and finally Jin Kyung is as great as always but her character doesn't feel like she is well developed.
I guess they will just drag on the consequences of the "scandal" in the next episodes and finish with a chewy "happy ending" for everybody.

Oh great first episode. This is already a beautiful story.

Yes, I saw that many people here kind of share the opinion that his character is annoying and useless, but that's totally at the opposite of what I personally feel. ^^
For me, that rom-com would have been just like "Forecasting Love and Weather" (saved by Yoon Park) if his character was not like this.
I find Go Kyung Pyo's acting very boring. I'm totally insensitive to his qualities and skills, so for me Kim Jae Young is saving this drama. Yes, his character is expected to be annoying, but unlike usually with other dramas, I am happy he is here, because otherwise I would be very bored I think.

Kim Jae Young is amazing. Too bad Kang Hae Jin is the third wheel in this romance, I like this character. Him and Choi Sang Eun would make a great couple. Not a fan of Go Kyung Pyo so I'm not rooting for his character with Choi Sang Eun, but Park Min Young is still the queen of rom-com. It's been a while since I really enjoyed one.

And the title changed again, and again it's a total failure. Why can't they just keep the original title just translated...

There are some actors pairing that are really dream duos. Ji Chang Wook and Wi Ha Jun is definitely one of them. And the characters they will play, as well as the rest as the already known cast, look very interesting and new for both of them. A long wait before we can enjoy this promising story. Patience, patience. ^^

I can't wait to watch this movie. Japanese are really the only ones who could think of such a movie. And the trailer is so good.

You don't have to be aggressive in the way you write your comment you know. And you don't have absolute knowledge neither. What's the point to interact with others that way ?
I don't interpret that scene the same way as you. You are not the director of this drama so what you think has no objective value for me.

I understood what you meant, but that's not how I see it. For me Eiji didn't convinced himself that he was in love with Mieko. He just kind of accepted the situation and was happy to be a father. Mieko is the mother of his daughter, of course he must have feelings for her. The same way as he had feelings for her before too when they were just friends. There are many different feelings. But I don't saw him being convinced that he was in love with her at any moment.

Well, I don't agree with that.

That's not the way I see that scene. For me he wasn't trying to convince Mieko or himself that he was in love with her.
