i think HH and HY will be the first ones to throw something at the 3rd friend when his relation with the sister comes out..

i put my two bucks on ep no. 12.. lmao..

him dying didnt even cross my mind.. now i am worried for him.. :(

true.. she is the typical rich mother who is overly obsessed with their children's life... dont know when kdramas will show decent rich mothers.. it is way too kdrama cliche..
i am waiting for the moment when the 2nd lead will fall for the female lead and the mother is ready with the envelope and a glass of water.. lol

i rewatched this drama today and now i miss d.o more.. he is so cute and adorable in this drama( he always is but still).. his comedy scenes were hilarious and the initial episodes were laugh riots..

the brother dying still gets to me.. i felt so bad for the crown princess and the brother. i remember when i first watched it, i had hope that he will survive till the villain dagged the sword into his heart.. since this was a rom-com i knew the leads were gonna end up together no matter what so there separation and emotional scenes didnt get to me that much.. i was more eager to know how these two will end up and their ending made me cry a bucket.

true.. i feel so bad for the grandfather..

i liked the 2nd episode as well and am thinking of following it..
i feel worse for the second lead coz the poor guy genuinely believes he gets what he gets because he worked hard for it. when are kdramas gonna stop showing obsessive rich mothers? why are they always 1 dimensional?

i liked how the FL and ML got along from the start without much drama or misunderstanding or fight.. it looked very natural.. their friendship looks very organic..

i like the bond b/w the lead and his grandfather.

the first 2 episodes were entirely focused on hye joon and so i got a wider picture of him than the other 2 leads.. i also like the friendship among the guys and the 3rd guy is gonna screw it up by being with HH's sister.. according to bro-code sisters are off limits..

P.S - since nowadays Korean censor board and knetz are way too sensitive i hope they dont create unnecessary controversy over the gay angle.. they already ruined BR and unnecessarily dragged iontbo.. hope this one gets a smooth sail..

i dont think the ML is self centered.. he is very determined to get where he wants to be and may be very stubborn about that.. its not like his family is depended on him and he is only thinking about himself..
he clearly dont have a twisted brain and thats the reason why his former agent took advantage of him and even after knowing that very well he didnt do anything about it..

i guess as long as she is a level headed fan, which she seems to be, its not a problem.. we have heard of celebrities falling in love with their fans all around the world..

first episdoe was fine and i liked it.. the first two episodes are about setting the premises for the entire show so i wont mind if it started a bit slow since it genre is melodrama..
my only complaint is that park bo gum dont really have the model vibe.. he is more of a cute guy.. its pretty clear why the other guy is more famous in the fashion industry in the drama..

one of the reasons i liked memorist is there was no romance b/w the leads.. that was refreshing for a kdrama.. there are a lot of thrillers which got ruined because of squeezing in romance just for the sake of it..
also they showed that a guy and a girl can work together without being romantically involved..

ya.. rom-coms should be only 12 episodes if they dont have any other genre attached to it.. thats why go back couple, is so good.. its only 12 episodes and is pretty much well made.. the story isn't unique but it had really good comedy and emotional scenes and no dragging..
family dramas or dramas with multiple lead characters like sky castle should be the ones with 16-20 episodes.. medical or law dramas with separate stories each episode can also have 16-20 episodes..
thrillers should also be of 12 episodes.. memorist is a pretty good drama but it could have been better if it was only 12 episodes.. it could have been more tightly packed..

b/w - between..
i liked the chemistry even though they didnt had much romantic scenes.. they both are visually pleasing and good actors.. so they have a natural chemistry and look good together..
people either hate this drama or love this drama.. you have to give it a try yourself to decide whether you like it or not..
i personally liked it and the criticism and controversy attached to this drama are over exaggerated..

the leads do end up together but they make it official only on the last episode.. there isnt much romantic scenes per se but have a lot of scenes b/w the leads..
the break up with the gf happens only on ep 9..
the drama is more like a slice of life comedy than romance..

some dramas start off really good, then get stretched in b/w and then will have a rushed ending.. thats what i hate the most.. they waste time on unnecessary things and wont have time to show the main plotline..

i guess i can only force myself to watch ongoing dramas as i have to only watch 2 episdoes per week.. i cannot binge watch shows that i loose interest in.. there are a lot of dramas i dropped
i used to do that when i started watching kdramas.. the only reason how i ended up watching heirs from start to finish...

it happened to me when i was watching whats wrong with secreatry kim.. the drama started off really well with amazing comedy but after the first half i was literally forcing myself to watch it and my excitement also went down.. i dont remember the 2nd half properly because i fast forwarded more than half of the episodes..
in iotnbo also i didnt like the episodes in the 2nd half where they were concentrating on the mother and the drama suddenly felt like a mystery thriller than a healing romantic drama.. i am not a big fan of the entire mother storyline..

she is like the best part of the drama.. her acting is amazing..

its a slow burn kind of drama.. there is no one particular episode where things change.. its mostly some incidents and moments that changes the perspective of characters..
like sang tae at the start was extremely possessive about kangtae and never wanted a 3rd person b/w them but slowly accepts moyoung as a sister and KT's girlfriend.. he dont change his mind in a single episode.. it takes him time to accept a 3rd person into their lifes.. same with moyoung.. she dont suddenly start being nice to people.. the development is gradual and slow..

i think this one will get postponded due to rise in covid cases in korea.. :(

rude, arrogant, tsundere-ish, but with a heart-of-gold and a tragic past.. that is the description of 80% male leads in kdrama and not just ysh..
