I might be alone on this but I really enjoyed Faith. Whilst I like Min Ho I am not a huge fan so I wasn't watching it for him. I adored all the characters in Faith, the ost the story, though admittedly there were parts that could have been handled better and characters that could have been developed so so so much more, I didn't find the drama draggy at all. Now if you were to make a list of Taiwanese dramas.....by default 99% of them fall into this category, they always have a painful drag in the middle of the whole affair.
OK wait so in the end Chun Won ends up with the guy who tried to rape her as a teenager and then again tried to…
I agree except for the fact that they show him being possibly violent towards her even when they grow up. So no matter what, reality or fairytale it's just wrong to depict that she ends up in a very likely abusive relationship whilst covering it in this "happy happy" wrapping paper...
Echoing the sentiments of everyone else, this drama would have been closer to a 9 if it wasn't dragged out and beaten to death. The problem with dragging out a drama is that there is only so much that can be done till you start being repetitive. I did adore the main leads love story thought, definitely keeps you rooting for them.
The plot was really interesting, and when you discover everything you can't help but feel sympathy for everyone except the main villain who blamed everyone else but himself. The most amazing actor in all this has to be Manager Baek, She stole the show every time she was on screen, whilst making you feel a range of emotions at once.
Also, this drama has to have the best second female lead in dramaland. I really appreciate they didn't turn it into a cliched battle but actually made you sympathise deeply with the second female lead for once. Would probably watch this again after a year or so.
This is such a heart warming drama. The Hotta family is like one you really wish to be a part of, so wonderfully warm. This drama is all about the fuzzy without too much of the preachiness that can sometimes be found in jdramas. Very adorable. LOVE da-ne!!
Ahh...I'm with everyone else. I think Yoona is really adorable, but she is one of the last actresses I would think of as Nodame. She fits (and does play) more of the naive/cutesy/feminine roles, not the quirky and offbeat ones!
Whyyy korea whyyy....don't you understand what Nodame's character is supposed to be!!
OK wait so in the end Chun Won ends up with the guy who tried to rape her as a teenager and then again tried to force himself on to her when they were adults (more than once). WTH!!! This show's makjang parts were already laughable but I stormed through that cause the romance aspect was so good (in the first half) but they end it with showing that one of the girls with the most violent pasts ends up with a would be rapist AND someone prone to violent behaviour? What kinds of stupid messed up message is that?!!?
I'm watching this now, and can someone just tell me, do the siblings grow up to love each other, cause as kids I can see the ones who don't care for the others.
There are some dramas that you can't help but marathon through, spending an entire weekend hooked to the screen. Angel Eyes is not one of those. But, rather this drama is one that needs to be watched slowly as it is slow paced and really more about the romantic love story than anything else. It's a drama to watch if you are in the mood for love, not for a thrilling story line. The main actor did a fantastic job as the ever patient Dong Joo, but KHS's acting pulled the story down a bit, there were parts where her she overacted and scenes where she lacked any emotion, but overall the acting wasn't too bad. The best thing about this drama has to be Dong Joo's mom though. She has to be the best mom and mother-in-law in all of Kdrama history, and she was only on screen for 2 1/2 episodes! Dong Joo was right when he said that his mom was someone who made him feel warm and loved, glad to be born.
The OST as mentioned by everyone is really good, although I still can't find the instrumental background music anywhere :(.
In summary, as a helpless romantic this drama was wonderful to watch despite all its flaws (which it does have). I would recommend it to anyone looking a simple and sweet love story.
Does anyone know the name of the instrumental song that has (i think) a flute being played in it? I remember its played when they are at the cinema/hiking. I have been looking all over the internet for it and I can't find it! (hate that instrumental songs are always next to impossible to find from drama osts!)
each episode seems the same i am at episode 70 and i feel nothing will happen till episode 158
I agree. I'm skipping so much I'm finishing each episode in less than 10 mins. Each misunderstanding is dragged out for 5-8 episodes and then another misunderstanding is created. Repeat cycle, repeat dialogues. This drama can't be compared the brilliance that was Smile, You and Ojakgyo Brothers. Did you manage to finish this drama and was it worth it?
At what point does this drama stop repeating itself and actually get on with the story? At 46 eps i'm watching each episode in 10 mins cause I'm skipping so much. The dialogues and situations are recycled every 5 episodes.
-edit-
I give up at ep 97. I thought by now at least this drama would have somewhat redeemed itself. This drama is not worth it at all. If anyone is looking for a lovely drama a la Smile, You or Ojakgyo Brothers, THIS IS NOT IT. This drama is infuriatingly long and dragged out to death. And its not like anything new even happens! The writer just has them saying the same "I will never forgive you!" line in EVERY EPISODE. There is no character development, the plot is dragged out, the acting is obvious and over the top along with the camera work. Save yourself the headache and skip this.
Very cute drama. This is the epitome of fluff and more fluff all around. I did feel like their chemistry wasn't as fiery/passionate as it could have been but overall very cute.
Very well shot movie! Really enjoyed this one and love the lines:
"why... did the world turn out this way?
People became apathetic. most people thought "it doesn't affect me"
They didn't understand that it really meant restrictions on their life. "
It took me some time to collect my thoughts on this drama. At times it feels like it's been directed/written by two different people. The romance was breath taking, with chemistry that explodes on screen when the main characters have barely touched. The acting was convincing and you could feel the struggle the main lead goes through. It is one of the few older woman/young man dramas where the male lead isn't all manly, yet is naive and vulnerable.
That set against an almost painful to watch background of office politics and corruption really makes one feel robbed of what could have been. The business aspect of this drama was confusing, badly executed and extremely exaggerated. You can't help but wish they had focused more on the couple rather than waste time on dramatic business deals that didn't make sense.
In terms of music I have to say though that the piano pieces didn't move me at all. I was enthralled when I watched Nodame and expected the same here, but found myself skipping the piano scenes. I don't know what it was but it didn't touch me like Nodame did.
