Two episodes in and this show has already made me emotional. It's got funny parts too, but I think this show is going to hit *all* the feels before it's over.

Thank you! You beat me to it. :)

I know that I, an international fan, like it (and I've liked most tvn dramas I've watched). I guess I had forgotten that the main lead in this one was a writer also, like in Temperature of Love. (and Hwang Seok Jung is playing a head drama writer in both! LOL - weird!) I feel like I'm going to like this one better than Temperature of Love (my love of Seo Hyun Jin notwithstanding.)
And I know we've chatted a bit about KJW on the ToL page, but, comparing the two, which are you liking more (out of curiosity)?

I had totally forgotten he was doing a cameo role and squee'd to see him in ep 1! :)

Does he break your heart in that one too I guess?

I don't know how I would rephrase it. I know that that's how Hyun Soo, Jung Seon, Hong Ah, and maybe Won Joon met (at least the girls meeting the guys. It seems like the girls may have been friends beforehand). But the online stuff is only mentioned briefly, never really shown. And then it's not really mentioned again. But the there hasn't really been much of a "plot" to speak of yet, so I don't know how to answer that question. Nothing much has even happened except that they met, separated and are reconnecting mixed in with work stuff. The central conflict, if there even *will* be one hasn't happened yet.

I don't think the synopsis is accurate. What is written there is just a blip in the first episode or two and really has nothing to do with the rest of the show.

Very much so! He had a charisma from his first scene before he ever spoke a word.

I get what you are saying - I don't feel like she's outright lead him on. But, she *has* accepted all he's done for her, knowing how he felt about her. She's let him take her out and advance her career. I say it's on both of them a little bit. He's done all this knowing she has said she loved someone else and knowing that she hasn't seen him as a man. But he's obviously been waiting patiently for her to see him that way, and has told her this. She has been too subtle in her rejection of him - if she had been clear that she was never going to accept him, he probably would never have kept helping her so far. He's been a gentleman and she's let him be her benefactor, knowing how he felt about her. That's the way I see it at least.

I'm on the fence with this show. Honestly, I wish they'd give us a real twist and send her to Jung Woo instead of Jung Seon. :/
This is my first time watching Kim Jae Wook, and I'm disappointed that he's not the lead in ANY romance drama that I could watch instead. (Those cheekbones are to die for)
I really love SHJ, but this is kind of becoming a snooze.

You can't review a drama that hasn't even started yet. Move this to the comment section.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot! :)

Was hoping to get to start this one, but Viki says it's not licensed for the US. :/

The manga is definitely better. You are correct that this would have been better as a 10-12 episode drama - long enough to get in all the details.

As soon as I saw Joong Gil in that suit at the end I knew we were going to get a An Officer and a Gentleman moment. :) Was not disappointed.

Enjoyed this comment. Knowing next to nothing about the history in Korea, this information really helps hammer the story home a little more. Thank you for sharing this

Totally agree with pretty much everything you said. Especially about the warmth of the show. I like Jung Seon, but I'm having SLS as well. Seo Hyun Jin is one of my favorite actresses and she acts the heck out of those emotional scenes. Whether it's tears, laughter, or whatever. I love her.

I was wondering what happened. I was sure that it was supposed to start yesterday (9/25) - so that answers that question!

Love the cool new features: rewatch system, watch date, and priority. And I'm also happy about the mobile optimization.
AND the option to put pix in DMs. Although I'm still getting used to the new DM and how it works. Will our old messages come back?

I got to episode 15 thinking I could finish it today....only to realize it's actually 30 episodes and not 20! OH MY! I was really hoping that they were wrapping this up in 20 episodes. I've enjoyed up until now, but I'm afraid the plot is going to get all kinds of twisted and silly now to keep Xian Ru and Jei Xiu apart. Groan.....
