One of the best dramas of this year, that didn't disappoint during the second half and had a proper ending. One of the best performances of this year (yes, Seo In Guk), one of the best couples chemistry of this year, one of the best OST of this year.
Thank you very much, @penel! You were indeed one of the people who gave me the excuse to re-watch CAHM in order…
How higher can my expectations be?! "Feel Good to Die" is one of my fave currently airing dramas! It will be a real pleasure to re-discover something new in it too, once you 'touch' it with your magic pen... Keep up the good work :D
Wow, just wow! This article is a masterpiece!!! I've never read anything like that, so detailed, in-depth analysed, aesthetically astonishing, even from professionals... I had to read it twice: first to see all your breath-taking visual comparisons and second to read your magnificent analysis and interpretation. I told you I had high expectations for your second article, but you exceeded them all! You have my utmost respect, dearest!
Such a well-written article! Thanks for reminding me these 5 memorable lines :) For me, it was one of the must-watch dramas of 2018! Although it is not everyone's cup of tea, as it is a slow-paced, character-driven, dialogue-centered drama, I was totally captivated by its unique, intriguing and thought-provoking plot, as well as the stellar performances from Jo Seung Woo (my fave, too) and Lee Kyu Hyung.
One of the best rom-coms (not BL, but rom-com indeed!) I've seen in a while! Tanaka Kei gave a performance of a lifetime: his animated, cute and over-dramatic reactions and expressions, his inner monologues and battles were hilarious and totally on point! A definite must watch!
Aw, you're such a sweetie! thank you! I hope you enjoy any of their future works!
Dear @catstreet, you're way much sweeter and one of the most polite and heartwarming article writers I 'follow', not only because you put real effort and quality in your writings, but you also always respond with a thanking/joyful note to all of us! <3
yeh same... but i cried alot bc the father-daughter plot.. im soon going to uni abroad soon and imagining without…
Their moments during the last eps were really emotional and touching! I wish you all the best for your studies and this exciting new chapter in your life, but I'm sure your dad will have a hard time like you, but also be very happy and proud of you :D
Started this drama because of Jang Hyuk and managed to finish it only because of the father-daughter relationship. All the other relationships-subplots were messy, pointless or static, disappointing...
"Mr Sunshine" had all the necessary elements to become a real masterpiece: great storyline, impressive cast, huge production (cinematography, music, costumes, make-up). All five main leads, especially Yoo Yeon Seok (one of the most heartbreaking one-sided-love characters ever!!!), Kim Min Jung (one of the most jaw-dropping transformations - is she really the same annoying, average FL from "Man to Man"?) and Byun Yo Han (one of the most sincere and tragic atonements in drama-land), and all support actors were beyond perfect - just astonishing! But, for me, somewhere in the middle and through the end, there was something lacking in the progression of the story. The reason for me was that, after some episodes the setting became somewhat unrealistic: the Japanese Occupation and the Joseon Resistance were left aside at the background as the storyline was focused mainly on the Eugene-Ae Sin romance which was somewhat lacking, not only due to their too obvious age difference (Kim Tae Ri would have been magnificent if paired with a more compatible lead) , that lead to an inevitable innocent and platonic romance, but also to its many tiring and unnecessary back and forths, that made the second half of the drama a bit boring and that had an impact to almost every character's development (esp. Dong Mae - such a wasted opportunity of a brilliant actor and a compelling character...)

And I'm also glad that everyone agrees that your article is fantastic!
I'm so looking forward to read something of your soon!

And now I have more talented young actors to keep an eye on!
