He's extremely smart! She's also extremely smart but with powers! This looks super extra already but I'll look forward to it.

It does get better. It was also pretty hard for me to truly get behind this one because the first, I'd say, 10 episodes or so are slow. But once we get to Joong Hee's plot (with the family and later on with Mi Yeong in particular) it gets better. There's a lot of attention given to Hye Yeong and Jeong Hwan (and his family) so there's that. The couples have their developments but it's not right away. Carry on until around ep15 and see if you still feel that way, it's really a good drama.

Jang Ki Yong is an actor/model under YGKPlus, which is a subsidiary of YG Entertainment.

And he has played the young version of Ji Hyun Woo twice now. Awl and Wanted.

Sending positive vibes for this drama. Rooting that both leads do well.

Yes. Like the KBS drama specials, these are also a great platform to promote and showcase rookie/unknown screenwriters.

She is but we fast forward to the future during an episode and we see that her character, as a grown up, ends up marrying her brother's best friend (she's played by Park Shin Hye in that episode!).

In all of the examples I gave above, she only plays the child portion of said characters ^^

But he isn't as annoying as other second leads, I mean, at least so far. We're 4 episodes in and he doesn't overshadow the main leads nor steals any spotlight. Idk what's in store for him but don't miss out on this drama just because of that. It's totally worth checking out.

Not books or films but honestly, if you don't mind me, this drama is actually very jdrama-y. The execution, the story, the cinematography. So, jdramas like Soredemo, Ikite Yuku, Love That Makes You Cry, N no Tame Ni or even Tatta Hitotsu no Koi are quite similar to this.

Also her voice! It's so deep, just like Soo Ae's.

The bloopers are hilarious. I feel more connected to the cast watching that than during the episodes themselves.

KBS' next weekend drama, will follow My Golden Life.

Here for my boy Seo Ji Hoon ✨

The ratings aren't steady, but they do better on tuesdays than on mondays (marking numbers like 5-6% for the monday episodes and then going up to 9,1% on tuesdays, which happened this week). It's doing fairly well, it's usually the most watched drama on that timeslot on tuesdays (beating Two Cops and Doubtful Victory).

Yes. He mentions doing his military service early here: https://www.soompi.com/2014/08/06/model-actor-ahn-jae-hyun-talks-about-going-through-retinal-detachment-surgery-in-high-school/

Yes, he plays Jo In Sung's character. Jiang Yan plays Go Hyun Jung's, so they are a little younger here in relation to the original.

Ruler (Owner of the Mask) was terrible. They drop the first teaser in December and then we wait around 5 months for that flopping mess. Sigh.

There's a childhood "romance" part but as grown ups it's still very subtle. It might grow as we go along, but it's not the primary focus at all.
