kanna

But it will be 16 eps as usual.

This drama reinforced my opinion that Song Ji Hyo cant act much. Overall a decent drama. Nothing too wrong or nothing too good either.

By the end there is absolutely no way she'll stay with her husband after all the things she's come to know about him (cheating and endangering saet byul's life). Now regarding SH and DC pair up, honestly I don't care either way. Soo Hyun has been portrayed as a strong independent woman and if she stays that way at the end I don't mind. But we have seen glimpses of romantic interest between these two characters especially from Dong chan(not so much from soo hyun). Personally I'd like an open ending regarding their relationship. At this point I kinda don't want to see them kissing or something by the end. Events in the last two eps may change my opinion (or not). Another factor is I dont want to see Saet byul's first love crushed by her mom of all things :P.

This drama is way over rated. I liked hana yori dango much better. It was short and concise. Tooo many unnecessary cliches added to extend it to 25 episodes. Seriously, I think once you watch this drama you'll know all the cliches that exist in drama land.

Are you watching the same drama as the rest of us or did you just read the synopsis and made this comment?? Unlike in a fantasy world where love conquers everything and happily ever after endings, in real life just love between ppl isn't enough. You know basic requirements for humans are food,clothing and shelter right?? and you need money for all three. Just love isn't enough. If any of the above three are not satisfactory it'll cause strains in a relationship over the time no matter how much they love each other. Its in human nature.
If you are mentioning about 1st episode when she started dating(taking interest) after finding out about his intelligence and ability to succeed what's wrong with that??? Everyone starts dating for different reasons. If some starts dating based on looks(attractiveness) will you complain about that too?? For me its how she behaved in their relationship matters most. She literally gave her everything in that marriage even in those difficult times for four years and even then the reason for the divorce was not the money. You simply have no basis to judge her character as money-centric at any point in this drama. I have watched quite a few rom-com kdramas and have to say Ae ra is one of the properly fleshed out(closer to real world) characters I've ever seen. Most of the heroines act all goody goody like only love matters and money is not important at all. It works in dramaland but not in real life.

I haven't been this excited about a drama in thriller category sine nine: nine time travels. Every eps kept me on edge without any drop in intensity with superb cliffhangers each episode. I'm gonna rewatch all 14 episodes this weekend in preparation for the finale. This one is literally giving my grey matter some serious workout.

Unf**king believable. Just finished eps 13. I always wondered how the president and MoJustice are tied into the central plot line. Thinking back on the whole plot now... it seems a bit ridiculous (not in a bad way). Considering the age we live in, gathering the information to coerce everyone to get your way doesn't seem too far fetched now. The pace of the drama has been so good with little tidbits revealed in every eps but I have to say this eps topped them all. Loving every minute of this.
P.S: I'm soooo itching to watch 14th raw now. but I have to control myself to enjoy it more with subs. Give me strength guys :D

Sh*t forgot to hit spoiler button.

wow are we identical twins or something :P :P ?? my thoughts on this drama are the same. See my rantings below :D

honestly by that time I didn't care why they both looked alike.

I'm a bit disappointed with few things in this drama especially in the latter half of the narrative. Biggest one is ghost's background story. Really disappointed with her love story being an extramarital affair. I dont care how pure they think it is, at the end of the day it is an extramarital affair. 2nd one is Kang Ju's reaction after finding out about his son. It was more like there was no reaction at all. In that scene it'd have made no difference to his expressions even if you take his son out of the scene. Overall the latter half felt a little half-baked with their approach. my rating is 7/10. One good thing is they tied almost all the loose ends in the finale.

I'll replace Moon chae won with Eun hye anytime. I didn't like her much in Princess's man or Innocent man. she doesn't deserve a place in this list IMO.
over 30 I'll place Jun ji Hyun 1st. The only reason I think she got 2nd is because she focuses more on movies. We can spend more time with the characters in dramas and I guess it influenced your pick of ha ji won a bit. Anyways this is just my opinion tho. I loved ji hyun ever since seeing her in sassy girl and no one came close to her in k-land ever since

I just marathoned the first 14 episodes and this drama is great. I was bit skeptical about Ae-ra's character from reading the synopsis and I'm glad she's nothing like what is described in synopsis. I like her character overall. Feisty and reserved at appropriate times.

From watching raws I think they added one plot device which I hate most "separation of the couples for years in the finale". This is what I disliked in Goong and Prime Minister and I. I seriously dont get the logic behind it as not much changes when they are apart for years anyways (their feelings and almost everything remains same). I have mixed feelings about this drama. It has some great moments but by the end it seems like above average(7) for me. I'll reserve my final rating until after I watch the subbed eps.

wasn't it the ghost disguised as doo rim??

Oh and btw the villain may have had special ops training during his mandatory military service

This is the scenario playing in my mind right now. It all started with Soo jin's(Dong chan's lover) murder. The three guys must have raped and killed her that night and threatened Ki dong ho to take the blame or else his family will be in danger. Afterwards the leader of the three who is the main villain I suppose wanted to tie all the loose ends. He had Snake's brother killed in a car accident and he's also responsible for the other guy to go mentally ill. He may also be the serial killer 10 years ago which explains the murder weapons being found at Dong ho's hideout. Now the only loose ends are Dong ho and probably Soo Hyun's husband(maybe involved in the cover up). When the new government formed last year with their pro-stance on capital punishment he must have devised the plan to incite cha sung bo to kill three women (who abandoned their children) and let him leave the country. Finally he kidnapped Saet Byul during the program and killed her after one week which led the new government to finally approve the capital punishment and kill off dong ho. This is the story that happened till eps 2. After that, time reversed for Dong chan and Soo Hyun and they are throwing wrenches in this plan and he has to improvise.
I know there are quite a few gaps in the narrative like how Hyun woo jin and grandpa are involved in this etc. I have written this for fun and also wanted to put my thoughts into words. So feel free to agree or disagree with this.

For me this is going downhill fast(just completed ep 11) with all the self-blame sh*t. I was yelling at my screen when doo-rim and yi kyung's mom were talking in the hospital room. If she was going to leave Kang ju like that for yi hyun (i know she doesn't love him but still..) all the previous 10 eps are for naught. I said this after watching the 1st 2 eps that the main heroine's (doo rim) character is too goody goody without any realistic features for my taste. I'm seriously miffed with her right now. Maybe koreans like this type of ppl but i certainly don't.Grow a backbone lady. This episode also throws all the logical reasoning out the window.

this is over-hyped. Ending sucked big time without any proper conclusions. After all the struggles for the company everyone leaves it at the end. I fast-forwaded last few episodes. They bored the hell out of me. Acting is also not upto the mark. I completely agree with the comment below.

Ever since its revealed that there is no threat from the ghost, this drama has lost a little edge IMO. The supernatural part which kept me exciting has died :(. I hope they keep the ghost relevant in the following episodes because she has been the catalyst for the events happened around kang ju till now.
