I didn't make it very far - like just a few minutes. After wasting a bit of time recently on lackluster shows, I thought maybe I would ask someone that's watched the first few episodes how it's going. Sounds like it's still "iffy".

I was one of the people that noticed the cheapness and wasn't sure if I could continue it. I'm thinking of giving it another go.

I've not understood the hate for her either. I've only seen her in a couple of things, but I didn't think she was bad at all. And as a previous person said, she was not the issue in TBOTWG by any means. (And NJH, who I normally like was not a great actor in that one.)

LOL! I didn't read any other reviews before I wrote mine because I don't want someone else's words to influence my thoughts. But after reading yours just now, i see that we had some very similar things to say! :)

LOL!!

This makes me glad I dropped it after 2 episodes.

Yep - jumped the gun by a day!

Thank you! The story sounded interesting so I was a little disappointed last night. If you think think it gets better, I'll give it a second go. :)

There is already a Korean version of Overboard. It's called Fantasy Couple (aka Couple or Trouble) with Oh Ji Ho and Han Ye Seul

I tried to start this last night, but only got a few minutes in. The production (cinematography) seems really cheap to me. For anyone that has watched the first 2 episodes....can you tell me if the quality of the show seems good or no? I like KRW and don't mind SSK, so I'm more interested in whether the story and the quality seem worth it.

Ok, but is Netflix calling it something completely different? They do that with other shows - they don't call them by their "official" names. (For example they call "Age of Youth" "Hello My Twenties". And "My Wife Is Having An Affair became "Listen to Love")

Anyway - just found it. Netflix is calling it "The Prison".

I'm seeing that this is available on Netflix, but it is available on NF in the US? And if so, what the heck weird name are they calling it? I don't know why Netflix insists on changing the name of shows to something unrecognizable. This was originally listed as "Wise Prison Life" and now it's "Prison Playbook".

Just saw this and wondered if you knew. Guess that's a yes. LOL!

LOL - ok. The train kiss was good. But surely we could rewatch that on YouTube or something and skip the rest right? :)

I'll give you that one about Jung Seon. Thinking back on it, he didn't really use him. So I retract that.
But to watch Hyun Soo, Hong Ah, AND Joon Ha all run to him and expect him to cater to their every whim....I'm glad he's done with that.
At least with Hong Ah, even if it was wrong to use him - he knew what her intentions were because she was up front about it. You can't say she deceived him into thinking there was any more to their relationship than her using his power to get her where she wanted to be.

I at least feel a little validation since Hong Ah finally came out said exactly what I've been saying all along: Hyun Soo never turned down any of the things that Jung Woo did or offered to do for her.
She accepted ALL of his kindnesses knowing he liked her. Which is the thing about Hyun Soo that I dislike the most. She used him all this time to her advantage.
Actually, I kind of feel like they all used him and his caring for them to get themselves ahead.
Hyun Soo, Jung Seon, Hong Ah, and Joon Ha.

Don't worry - it'll come back at ya! :P

I think you have spoilers in your review that you might want to edit.

I've heard good things about that one too, but I'm still hesitant.

Quoting you:
"First of all, nobody can deny the fact that Wallace Huo is the epitome of beauty. He's gorgeous; plain and simple. I can watch a thousand of brainless plot-less episodes, if it meant I could stare at his face for hours. And stare at his face I did. I ogled him so much that I was afraid my eyes would pop out and I would drown in my own drool. Because, not only does he have a very pretty face, he's also an excellent actor. His dialogue delivery is entrancing, his expressions are spot-on, his walk is elegance incarnated and everything he does, he does with utter grace. If Wallace was to spout complete gibberish, the onlookers would still be starstruck because he'd relay that gibberish in such a way that it would seem nothing short of Shakespearean. This is a one man show. He's the king here and he commands it with his charisma, allure and masterful acting skills"

Amen! Amen! Amen! Preach it! Seriously, I keep telling you how you nail it as a writer - this is exactly why I finished this show. LOL! And why I was so mad at the end of it. I wanted MORE of Wallace Huo exactly as you described here. And none of these other dramas look like they are going to give me that. If there is another show he is in where he will mesmerize me like he did in this, please tell me now! I'd be willing to give it a shot (even if it's one of those historicals that I am so loathe to watch because I'm afraid I will be bored out of my mind.)
