A warm, rather slow-paced romance drama, with decent performances and satisfactory characters' development, but that's it! Not that thrilling, not that memorable, but not that bad or boring for my taste. The highlights of this show were definitely Yoon Park as PD Lee Kang and Ha Joon as manager Kim Joon Woo.
This show and its plot are getting better and better! Kam Woo Sung as Son Moo Han is growing on me episode by episode... ... and Kim Sun Ah is such a charismatic actress!
Some rom-com clichés are a MUST for k-dramas (sweet, annoying or guilty pleasures)... For me, the loveliest cliché is when the ML is a tsundere chaebol and the FL is a Cinderella. The most annoying cliché is when the second-lead is obsessed and manipulative and doesn't get the message that he/she has to give up! The funniest cliché is when, for even a small paper-cut on a finger, they bandage the whole arm! The most infuriating cliché is that almost all MLs and FLs are beautiful, slim and either: 1. very successful professors, doctors, lawyers, prosecutors, chaebols, etc. but only 20-25 years old, or 2. very poor and unlucky, but have the latest and most expensive mobile phones!
After reading all the comments about the sudden female lead replacement, I was hesitant to watch it, but when I gave it a try I found it quite good: fast-paced, suspenseful, complicated, intriguing and very entertaining! Despite its flaws (some times too frustrating and too stretched, with some inconsistencies and plot holes) and a couple of out-of-tune episodes, after all this replacement mess, it was successfully and quickly back on its track, although a bit heavier and darker.
Cruel City and Falling for Innocence were the best of his dramas! Is it a coincidence that he was co-starring with Jung Kyung Ho? Is it a coincidence that the best dramas for Jung Kyung Ho were the same?
K-Dramas taught me that, if you want to be successful in life and love, you have to endure constant harassment by your superiors/co-workers, betrayal from your close friends/relatives, humiliation from your in-laws to be, or at least a memory loss, a birth secret or an incurable disease!
they taught me to look both ways at least twice before crossing a road :]also, now whenever I walk anywhere, the…
Don't worry, you'll be safe: your destined handsome, arrogant chaebol-prince is gonna save you the last second! Although he'll be seriously injured instead of you, go through a serious surgery and fight with his whole family for your love,in a couple of days you'll be living happily ever after!!!
Such an underrated drama! Bae Doo Na and Seo Ji Suk were splendid at their roles and had beautiful chemistry! Halmeoni was superb, and the couple of Jin Ju & Eo Jin was the sweetest!
I actually just came back to dramaland a couple months ago after a long hiatus, and I noticed the same thing!…
You are absolutely right! Looking at the comments regarding airing dramas, indeed female leads receive the most negative criticism, even before the dramas start! Perhaps there are some very hungry fan-girl 'animals' among us that want to tear these young/new actresses to pieces! I guess everyone is meant to go through this phase once in a while in their lives...
I have to admit that, putting adaptation relevance, plot, editing, characters, acting etc... aside, a very well-hidden fan-girl inside me has been awaken!!! Woo Do Hwan, yay!
When they attempt to exercise (ep.04+10) and compete each other, they are hilarious! It seems that when their Master is closer to their age they are more relaxed, so they enjoy themselves better, so the outcome is more realistic and funny!
Can you please STOP calling people on this board ignorant just because they didn't like the beginning of this…
Very-very well said! Just a friendly suggestion from someone who fell in the same trap: don't get involved in a personal (pointless) battle trying to prove your likes and dislikes, or even your education, to those who have no intention to really listen to you in the first place! Just share your opinions so you can help the ones with the same taste to watch a drama or not, and ignore the ones who insult you.
I am positively surprised by a seriously good writing in episode 13. :) I really liked Lee, he was so honest and…
Totally agree! Lee Kang's confession was one of the most honest, heartfelt confessions ever seen in K-drama land! All three main leads were more mature and true to themselves and to each other!
You're wasting the funniest time of your drama-life!

I can't wait for Todome no Parallel's episodes to be subbed!

It's so realistic, it hurts: all cast members really breath life to their roles!

Love should mean respect and trust, don't you think?
And it's something that we don't see in K-drama land so often...

More representative of his cute smile!
