It's repetitive but there are a lot of kisses. Really a lot ;)
I gave it a 6/10 but I hesitated with 7 because, despite the repetitiveness, I didn't fast-forward much.

The first episode of the other Hong Gil Dong doesn't reflect the whole drama at all. When I first tried it, I stopped after this first episode. But so many people were talking about it that I ended up giving it another chance. The drama turned out being pretty good.

It's exactly that. Do not watch it for now but be sure to watch it one day or you'll miss something.

I loved the dance in episode 4, especially the way it ended.

I agree with you too. Anyway, we don't see Ah Ro that much. People can just fast-forward her scenes if they dont like her. As for me, I like the whole "in love with my sister who actually isn't my sister" thing. Her acting? I've seen her in other dramas so I know what to expect already. If you ask me, it's not her fault if the director make her cry all the time.

I'm not an actor but I think there are two types.

First: Those who build a character by giving it different personality traits each time they do a new drama. It's not easy and only a few can do that well. And even the best sometimes end up loosing their touch.

Second: Those who bring their own personality into their role. They imagine how they would react if they were in the same situation as the character. Because they do that, from one drama to another, it fells like it's the same character in a different setting. That's not something that bothers me. In fact, in my country, we have some great actors who are like that and people go watch their movies BECAUSE they expect to find the same kind of character. Usually, they go for comical roles, just like Ah Ro is supposed to be in this drama.

My first thought was that he was offered enough money to pay for his sister operation or something. But you might actually have a point here. I found it weird he didn't mention his sister in the trial. But why would he confess the truth now? And why would he kill the wife? Unless someone forced him to. But then, how?

I wouldn't consider 8.2 a low rating... If you ask me, this rating is just right.

I don't know about Criminal Minds but I'll suggest the cdrama When A Snail Falls in Love. At one point, I thought I might end up liking it better than Signal, my all-time favourite. But the ending could have been better, romantically speaking. Still, as fas as the investigation is concerned, it was very interesting. (I made a review about this drama if you wish to read it.)

Very promising. I'll miss Hong Gil Dong's father if he ends up dying in the next few episodes.

Oh, ok. Thank you.

But... 21/6 = 3,5 so shouldn't MBC have 7 episodes instead? I'm just asking because I'm watching the MBC version and trying to put the right number of episodes on my MDL list. Or do they intend to make the last episode longer?

@MysticLullaby & @Amelia : LOL Truthfully, I don't think they'll do that either. Maybe if it was broadcasted by a cable channel such as OCN, but not for MBC.

How should I put it? It's a very interesting drama but, from time to time, there are some very incoherent scenes.

Great drama but it sure needs a season 2 with this cliffhanger. I'll make sure to check once in a while.

What if... Ra Bong Hee is the real killer? It's not impossible. After all, we only have her version. Tae Ho will obviously put the blame on her in next episode but it could be that he's saying the truth.

Not clear. Let's say the last scene can be interpreted as a happy ending if you think the flowers are announcing "his" return. At least, it's tragical like many chinese dramas.

Maybe I'll try the first episode. But I'm not too fond of drinking habits presented in a good way. After seeing it a lot in TV series, young people tend to think it's "cool". That usually makes me angry at the writter.

The first few episodes, yes. After that, it's a pretty common romcom. But in the beginning, you get to see some cultural differences between the two time periods, which is very interesting.

Thank you. I was hesitant about this drama, I'm not anymore. I won't watch it.
