That last scene of ep 12 breaks my heart big time. All the characters are deeply pained. This is real life, it is not just black and white. Now, I don't question who is right or wrong, I just watch how their life choices would pan out eventually.
After ep 11, I can say this is the only k-series I cannot watch continuously. I have to stop somewhere and look for some spoilers before continuing. Kudos to the actors' passionate acting and the excellent editing and directing. I already have a general idea of the story from where this series is based, but the way they made this into a suspenseful and emotionally-draining series with multiple-layered characters is amazing!
Finished this. The first half is excellent but the latter half is just ok. But the acting is good and the social relevance is commendable. Though the ending hints of a possible Season 2, this series is better than most recent 16- episodes K-series whose plot and story is so out of this world and characters thinly developed.
I love this drama but then, ep 23-24, the writers made it so convenient for the psycho stalker-killer to escape from the hospital, get a cell phone, videocall Jung Hoon, visit Ha Jin's event, approach her etc. Shouldn't Jung Hoon call the police to advice of the whereabouts of the escapee while trying to get there himself? Well, anyway, this scenes remind me that this is just a drama, and the writers maybe use this to make Ha Jin regain her memory. But then...
Definitely this is better than my recently dropped Fatal Promise. After finishing ep 8, I am becoming more and more immersed to follow the Grandfather's life, the involvement of the FL in his life and the sons' lives. Well, this kind of family drama is worth my 30 mins a day. Hope this continues well.
The story has potential but the way they develop the characters is a bit annoying esp the FL. From the start and now I am at ep 8, she is too nosy and stupid (no spoilers). Anyway, good thing this is just 24 eps.
Well, I don't have regrets dropping a hyped k-series for this one. This is turning out to be a gem, the story, acting plus those music give that soothing feeling. Maybe it's also a factor that the leads are pleasing to the eyes (Lee Bo Young is so beautiful and Yoo Ji Tae looks so nice). Not to mention my heart is soft for beautiful piano music. Now the anticipation for next week mounts!
I can't seem to get into this series. I gave the first 2 eps a try last week to arouse my interest, and still tried the 3rd ep a while back, but I can't seem to get into it. Anyway, others may enjoy this, but I don't have the patience to wait for the spark that will make me stay for more eps.
Just finished ep 7. Well, as I see it, the plot is so simple, not mush going on in the story. The fighting scenes are excellent but it seems tiring because at the end of the day, the Team can't do much and the antagonist is always having his way, So if I may say, this will go on until several eps are left, the normal and usual drama curve, not much surprises.
Anyway, I am still watching this, albeit on a faster speed. There are other excellent current kseries.
This is becoming a typical melodrama. Ep 12 is so convenient to a character when one can easily listen to a conversation that is supposed to be one on one because the door is left open (and all other characters are asked to stay outside). She can easily command her superior, she can easily go in to a private room and declare she has brought him back (but does the Chairman know she is an employee?). She just needs to be given a dialogue.
Just some rants while watching, will see after a few more eps if this can be continued or not for me.
Definitely so much better than the previous one after the first ep. The story flows well and the acting is more natural. Hope this continues to the end.
Very very good series! Outstanding story but the all the cast members made this a rare gem. The chemistry between the leads is so clear from the very first episode until the end. Just like Romantic Doctor, I would love to see this series again for another season, the team working together in their new building and the romance can truly happen! But with or without, this is a very endearing series!
I was hesitant to rate this a 10 while the series is airing. But looking back, the story relays so much about love, friendship, forgiveness, chasing dreams, and perseverance. The acting is awesome, the characters are generally well-written, nothing over-the-top (even Bian Cheng). Aside from the awesome chemistry of the main leads, I must say I really love seeing Fatty and Nerdy together.
Of course nothing is perfect, but in the end its overall impact and entertainment value is strong that I won't regret giving this a 10 in the end!
I've seen some other K-series like this where school bullying is so exaggerated and seems like a norm that the school admin is not actually looking at it seriously. And I haven't recalled a satisfying ending after all the bullying. Just my two cents, and anyway this is just an OK short series so far.
Just finished ep 33. And while the story progresses well, they inserted the break up which is not in the novel, according to those who have read it. That seems to be the problem because the character development of the leads (esp the FL) took a huge dive down. Telling lies multiple times (she could have agreed to the mother, but she should trust the ML more of not telling the secret to others), taking care of someone in secret (and that someone likes you and you know it, this is major turn off for someone in a relationship), and everybody knows your boyfriend is the jealous type of guy, you should have been more careful.
But I still love the series. The acting of the two leads is really good. My Huckleberry Friends (with Steven Zhang) and L:e Coup de Foudre (with Janice Wu) are two of my all time favorite C-dramas partly because of how well they portray their characters.
Dropped after 4 eps. Cheung King San has a very annoying and arrogant character for a lead. Of course he may have his reasons (slowly unfolding with the flashbacks), and this may be a helpful factor in future eps, but it is not to my liking. Plus seeing Hugo Wong still emits a negative vibe, despite most people moving on from his scandal. Anyway, I just have to wait for the next TVB series.
