I accept for different opinion. Usually, every actor won't give the best performances here. But I prefer Ahn Hyo Seop potrayal of the ceo compare to other ceo playing the same roles in rom com. ... those actor also doesn't give a proper ceo vibes because hey, they play in a rom com who have to act silly all the time. But i think he act like a proper ceo especially in first 5 episode.

but I agree i think i find him stiff just later episode, he tone down his charisma alot. i don't know if this is intentional from him.


bland? he is very expressive here... or else, why this drama has unexpected hits if he is so bad? i have no idea he has this much haters who always think he is bad in performances despite he is not.

sorry but for me Cheese in the trap ending is beautiful, make sense and fit into the story. regardless of the webtoon execution, it would be left a bitter taste in my mouth if it will end with happy ending. they cheapening the story if that's the case. I might be the only who think that CITT is quiet brilliant in terms of script. not everyday you get these kind of dark character develop properly in any of mainstream drama.

an awsome drama, It's a pity the acting from several cast is not on par with the brilliant writing (Nakatani Miki is the main suspect).. And the production is quite well done as well, keep aside all those random boyband song which don't fit with general tone of the drama, the overall mood they set and all those instrumental is quite good and fit with the overall atmostphere. But the real star is definitely the writers who are doing a good Job exploring the complecity of human nature in theme of novel writers. It's quite unique topic! I find the topic they arise is quite refreshing.

amazing drama with several strong performance! I really think writing wise, this drama is better than signal. the narrative is more explore and more coherent and compelling. But overall acting wise, Signal is tad better.

Thanks God I'm not the only one who find the acting some important character very lacking. SHin Min ah does well in cute and intimate scene. But boy it's a mistake to giving her char alot of angst because instead of feeling sorry, I got distract by her facial expression.l

Bark Hyun Jin as Kim Yong Jin is also very miscast. KYJ would have been a sympathetic villain if they cast a better actor playing KYJ. He is always screaming, and it's distract me. ki dong is also so bad, it's obvious this is his first attempt acting debut in entertainment industry. God! they really have issue casting important character. Do they think good acting is not important? To be honest their acting make me less feeling to their conflict.

As for the chemistry. Their love story written really well by writers. All their conflict making sense. In fact it's so refreshing because their conflicts are not based on recycled from other drama plot but based on purely writers imagination. Definitely the writing is not the problem. Rather than I just feel overall SHin Min Ah is not being there emotionally. There is several scene she nail it, but it's not often. He is not emotionally connect to LJH. They have good sexual chemistry and feel comfortable with each other. But that's not enough to make me invest emotionally.

This drama is not for everyone.. Lee Kyung Hee tried to add more humour, But it's One of her weakness eventhough she has improve alot in this aspect. Add to ppl and fan service which unnecesary at times... So the show suffer from a borefest in the middle for me... But once LKH come to her sense, this drama become good again for me.. Well LKH isn't nuance in her writing regarding character ( but she has more depth in writing character compare to other writers).. But she always has a compelling narrative, a decent storyteller. Well compare to other lee kyung hee drama... this might not her best, but definitely make me cry.

I like it too... SO good

No! It's not going downhill for me. It's get complicated, though. But It's just me who love Watching mess up people who have their own fault trying to figure out what went wrong...The execution is still good for me.. Minus dementia plotline.. ANd The directing is soo excelent and powerful.

It's still deep and meaningful for me. Instead, I just wish Il Ri is more selfish. I want more grey characteristization, more ambigious action, like what they did to Joon. He is very human, I just wish the writers were dare to develop more about their dark side , Like in What Happened in Bali.

Compare to other mainstream drama that airing right now, I love this drama the most

I'm still torn about this dementia plot line... huhuhu
It's abit makjang for me... Thanks God, There is PD Han Ji Seung That makes the scenery believable.. He tone down alot of thing if another PD would go dramatic execution

@Sweetiepea KJ is not stupid, KJ know it's wrong. who said he doesn't know that cheating is bad? he know it. That's why after he knew her husband, he pushed her away in the beginning, Before their relationship got deeper. It's already been this deep, he feels he couldn't go back, yes he couldn't.

He tried to resist her, multiple times. Even after discovery. From Episode 11 when he got hurt Il RI's confession that he is nothing to her, to episode 13 when Il Ri said "don’t we ever met again". After that incident, He was obliged to her words. Their next encounter is a coincidence, It’s not his will. In that moment, he read her body language that she has already accept his presence. But he still tried to resist her, until that trapped in toilet accident happened.

What I'm trying to said is he knows that cheating is bad. But in his point view, so far they haven't done anything that cross the line (just like his statement in episode 14), They haven’t do anything beside kissing. In his eyes, what makes him has to act like a sinner that makes them have to stay away from society? So why act as if you have to hide something from society? Just like I always feel I'm not in the wrong but my mother kept scolding me because the society felt I did something wrong in the eyes of society. That’s why that meeting in earlier episode 13 with Il RI's mother feels awkward. Because KJ's point of view with the rest of them are different.

It’s not KJ who kept reminding HT he cheated on his wife. When? Please tell me. It’s the other way around, HT is the one who kept remind KJ he is breaking the rules, he is in the wrong.
KJ want to clarifty If their relationship has stopped. Because in his eyes, this particular husband has no self control, always unconditionally hurting her. He even witnessing Il Ri is sick after meeting him ( sick emotionally). That self protecting instinct kept appeared. Does his acted is too involved in this mess and he shouldn't getting deeper involved? Absolutely. But it will be out of his character if he doesn't act like one, and he will be only a common 2nd male lead guy who have no threat.

I don’t think the writers want to side Il RI, either. Because The writers already showing alot of Il RI’s weakness. It’s just about bias gender that several viewers don’t get the hint.

Admit it, yes she is caring and responsible, but also selfish. Everyone thing KJ’s action is too much from bring HT, IR and him together for his own benefit. What about Il Ri ? She did the same thing with brought three of them together to have a conversation, but all she did was using KJ's presence for her own benefit, SO he can reconcile with her husband. Il Ri also act selfish in front of her husband. IR Tell HT blatantly how much she loved the guy - KIM JOON, without concerning her husband own feeling at the time. What she is thinking is hoping her husband will forgive her for liking someone. This is one of the reason what HT angry at. If there is a think I have learned from this drama, That telling the WHOLE truth is not always the right thing to do. She is telling her husband so she can be forgiven, It makes her feel better. Not for makes thing better. That's a selfish act. Il Ri's friend blatantly tell IR, "Why not tell your husband a good Lie, If it means going to end anyway?" -> jackpot!

All people in these drama are selfish people, and the writers acknowledge it, don’t act like one character is better because another character makes an ambigious decision that hurt them. Because all of these character are makes ambigious decision and choice. Even Hee Soo that people think is the best character has selfishness in her. But it doesn't mean these people is a certificate a bad people.

If several people can't watch a drama full of this complicated / unlikeable character and judge them harshly without even think their point of view, then these kind of drama it's not for you, because we will always felt uncomfortable with the way they act, and you will end up hating the drama. But it doesn't mean this drama is bad, because so far I find their character are still consistent.

You don't need to justified KJ's action to enjoy his character. I'm glad he is not painted in black/white canvas, Because there is no justified. But you can understand his action and feel his loneliness. Because he is technically a good guy, but also a human that make alot of mistakes. He chose to follow his desire, yes He is selfish. Everyone in this drama is selfish.

When you have no real friends, and there is someone who enter your life suddenly you feel attached to, You just don't want to lose them. To take responsible for Il Ri is just an excuse. He is just need a real relationship. You know, That comfortable feeling with someone that no one else can give you... except that person. That kind of feeling.

@Eos: Well in Joon's defense, HT already treat her harshly when knowing the truth. He is already planning to submit the divorce paper with this woman. Technically, he set her free. What's worse is HT has already hurt her emotionally.
What's wrong though with someone who is caring with the one they are really love? Unlike HT who only begin to consider IR's feeling after all of this.

He is just desperately want to have a real relationship with someone. And the worse is that woman has a husband. He tried to stay away, but his heart couldn't. That protecting instinct kept appeared. He is lonely, and don't have any real friends. In the end, He decide to follow his heart.

He is clueless with the way the rules work in society. He start to have any real conversation after meeting Il RI. Maybe I relate to him this much. Before, I always get scolded because I don't know how to behave, how the rules work. I had been too long to stay away from the world.

Your point of view is making me think many people watching this drama has a different perception. I don't find the route writers is taking right now is stupid... I feel their action is still makes sense and consistent to their character. You maybe miss the little detail, The subtlety, their expression, their action, their struggle.

Il RI tried to kept a distance with Joon. But She is still has an attachment towards his husband and his family. It's the only one what motivate her to get back to him .She can't handle to lose a relationship that's already been built for 7 years. But either she realised it or not, she is actually enjoy Joon's Presence. She is lonely, No one is taking her side. Even her mother keep blaming her action. Just like Hee Tae has said. This world has a rules, you cross the line, you break them, and you'll get the consequences of how the world will see you. No matter how hard you tried to change it and go back to your normal life, The world will never see you the same way. Joon and Il Ri right now experiencing the consequence of their action, by breaking the rules. Joon is the only one who can see her a different light. And deep down, she really needs it. gradually, she is accepting his presence.

And about Hee Tae I know it's a little too late to realise his action has a consequences.. He is too emotional that he is only judge Joon -Il RI with black and white canvas. But that feeling of missing her wife it's not out of nothing appeared. It has been there since previous episode. It's getting bigger in recent episode. And for it makes any sense. He started to believe her wife's word that her feeling for Joon is not that deep(his conversation with his mother give that sign before). At least HT want to believe it. He start to realise he really needs her. He start to feel insecure about what Il Ri see him right now. But Il RI has already been too hurt by Hee Tae's action. Please tell me if anyone wouldn't hurt left a scar in your hearrt if you get treated like that... Even when you are in the wrong.

Their relationship has never been the same.
What I'm really worried is Hee Tae's Mother dementia will be a plot device to force Il Ri to get back with Jang family. It will be turn down the quality of the drama for me.

I understand about this sudden hate towards KJ...
But I think all of you here misunderstood his action. It's might be due to misleading incomplete translation. Just like Il Ri at first misunderstood KJ action. He is the only one who has a clear mind tried to reconcile HT and IR... He force them to met.. He really want to have IR, but after IR's friend give him a clue, he feels responsible to make them back together. He Provoke HT to make a decision regarding their marriage, it's not working. Moreover, IR really misunderstood his action.

After clarify there is no hope between HT and IR, he officially make a move.

You're not alone.... I love Sera, too. I actually want the writers makes her char have more depth instead of Daniel, because I find her char are more interesting.

In fact I Think Jang Hyuk and Wang Ji Won have a decent chemistry.. They have spark, and I can totally see they are a best friend who ever had a relationship for years in the past and still have those little spark. I'd rather watch Sera-Gun's scene than watching Daniel-Mi Young's Scene.. At least in their conversation, there is some cracking who makes me smile and giggle..But Daniel-Mi Young? ughhh boring.. Maybe it's because their char's personality might help.
