Some people will find even the best and greatest things "boring", and won't appreciate it. You are one of those,…
Im not someone who drops dramas easily and am very patient with series and dramas!! but this one is really testing me..it was probably good for a drama made in 2013 but it doesn't stand the test of time..5 eps in and I'm really struggling and thinking of giving up..the only reason i'm continuing is for the FL who is excellent...also what kind of bullshit logic is that if you have something going in your personal life you won't enjoy a drama liked by the masses? I agree with you "People often gets bored with pretty much everything" and then such people come and spew hate comments to satisfy their dreariness!!!
Iv read all the hoopla surrounding the love triangle in this show ...I personally love Kim Seon Ho and the character he is playing so far ....but anyone with eyes can see that right from the moment of them seeing each other in slo mo for the first time, the drama has been alluding that Dal Mi and Do San are endgame I'm in the middle of the 3rd episode and I can feel their chemistry and I don't know how it's going to turn later on but right now Do San and Dal Mi are my ship even though Han Ji Pyung is my favorite charcater!!
The biggest regret that I have is that even though this drama was in my watchlist, I never got around to watching it thinking it might not be that good..then yesterday on a whim I decided to watch one episode as I wanted to see something with Lee Jong Suk…and here I am writing this review the nextr day having binged all the episodes in a day and a half.. I have no words as to how entertaining this drama was. Talk about a full buffet which has something for everyone’s taste. Romance..check..thriller…check..courtroom drama..check..friendships..check. The show does not only have excellent writing but is directed extremely well which keeps the viewer enthralled and engaged and at the edge of their seats at all times. This was probably one of the rare Kdrams where I wasn’t exhausted by the time I reached the last episodes. In fact I enjoyed the last few episodes much more than the beginning. Another exceptional feature of the drama were the well written and relatable characters which were brought to life by exceptional acting on everyone’s part. Lee Jong Suk ones again proves why he is one of the most sought after and loved stars of the Korean Media. He brings a rare charm to his character who is formidable when needed but also puts his aegyo on when he is relaxed. Bae Suzy is good as always and my god is she pretty!!! But the real MVP of the series for me was Woo Tak…he is one of the most lovable and helpful characters ever written and Jung Hae brings a sheer honesty to his character that you can’t help but root for and be protective of at the same time.. My only gripe was that though the leads have really good chemistry, the romance sometimes slowed the momentum of an otherwise extremely well-paced show. All in all this was a total 9.5/10 for me and it might come in my top 5 Kdramas of all time. Will recommend this to anyone!!!
I'm on ep 7 and i'm in love with this show already!! As much as I love Lee Jong Suk (honestly he is amazing in anything), my fav character of this show has to be Woo Tak played by Hae In...what a cutie pie!!! even the characters in the show love him!!!
This was the only love triangle where I was extremely happy for the ship that made it and at the same time extremely heartbroken for the ship that did not!!
I have a lot to say about this drama!! After watching the first episode, I decided to drop it but randomly continued to watch the 2nd ep after a few days and from there it got addictive and I binged it in 2 days straight!! The drama is nowhere perfect!! The story is the same basic story with the lesson of inner beauty! What raises it to a superior level is how self-aware the show is!! It’s supposed to be cheesy and cringey and the makers know it and capitalize on it which is the biggest strength of the show!! It was super funny at times..but it was also very hear touching where it was required!! All in all it had every ingredient of a good Teen drama!! Coming to the characters, it comes as no surprise that Han Seo Jun was my favourite character!! But having said that I would also state that as a couple Su Ho and Joo Gyung worked better for me and I actually wanted them to be endgame despite Seo Jun being my favourite character!! Hwang In Yeop gave an amazing performance and showed his diverse range of acting!! Eun Woo was perfect for the role he was cast..I have heard a lot of complaints about his acting being stiff! I can’t judge from just this drama because here his acting suited the composed character that he played!! Ga Young’s performance also was good though her unnecessary aegyo voice irritated me a bit!! The one major complaint I had was that the drama dropped in quality from the moment Su Ho and Joo Gyung became a couple! Nothing to do with their chemistry which was good!! It’s just the writing wasn’t as crisp after that as it had been till then! Also Kdramas really need to know when to stop and not keep on dragging just to complete 16 eps..This drama peaked at ep 14 with Joo Gyung realizing her worth and from there it just plateaued and never went high again!! If they would have wrapped up the show there itself, this would have been a far better show!! Still a pretty good time!! I definitely recommend to watch it once!!
Beautiful. Loved it. Enjoyed it a lot.It was hard to convince me to watch this show. Even when I started the first…
Ok….I honestly enjoyed this a lot..was in my watchlist since god knows when but other dramas always took precedence over it ..maybe the title was a bit off-putting for me…but I decided to watch one episode at random and found it extremely charming and binged it within 2 days.. Was the drama perfect by any means? No..will it come in my all-time favs? Probably not.. but for me the show worked best when it focused on the relationship between its 2 protagonists and the bromance between the 2 brothers and friendship between bok ju and her friends…coming to the biggest strength of the show..its the chemistry between the leads..i have no words..like honestly it’s one of the best I have seen..it’s their scenes together that breathe magic into an otherwise basic plot and I found myself swooning and giggling in a lot of their scenes ….it’s in the second half from ep 10 onwards that the drama really soars and the leads are the main reason for that ..their cute moments after becoming a couple are everything.. The character of Kim bok ju and joon hyung are very well written and performed excellently by both the actors...coming to a few gripes that I have ..it’s when the plot tries to focus on the subplots is where it loses its charm..I would like to point out a few aspects which I found were jarring to an otherwise beautiful series..the ex-girlfriend plot though added zing to the relationship of the leads, her individual plotline of going through a lot of troubles and facing depression etc was not interesting enough and felt out of place ..also the whole love triangle plot of the coaches and bok ju’s uncle was unnecessary. The middle 4 episodes from 5 to 8 wherein they portrayed Bok ju’s one sided love for the doctor weren’t that interesting and didn’t do much in terms of progression of the plot…bujt these are minor nit-picks in an otherwise enchanting series..
Like I said above, I loved the show. But there is one thing I think is pretty bad: the one sided "romance" with…
ohh someone else felt the same way,...ep 5 to 8 spend too much time on an unnecessary plot!! That time could have been devoted in the progression of the main couple who are actually the life of this show!!!
I started watching this today with a lot of apprehensions..4 episodes in, all my doubts have vanished and I'm captivated by the show.. IU is the cutest...and what do I even say about Lee Joon Gi...their chemistry is off the charts ....so far perfect...will update once I see the entire show!! also can someone spoil a bit and tell me that the bitch mom dies!! so that I can patiently wait for her death!
Why does everyone like this drama so much?? It fell really flat for me and you already know who the bad guys are.…
Being a huge fan of psychological dramas I have watched psychological thrillers and mysteries and crime dramas in almost all the languages and pondered and analyzed each and everything I have watched and trust me this show for me was out of the world !! If I actually start to point out the subtle reasons why this show is a masterpiece I will not be able to stop!! I'm not questioning your opinion I'm just saying that on this one I'm with the masses!!!!
Maybe because we didn't come out of watching the show thinking it was filled with tons of fillers and paid enough…
well said...this show was everything and I came back to this page looking for something similar to watch as I haven't been able to find something I loved as much as this!!
This was a lot of fun but frankly for me the drama peaked at ep 14 when we got to know the actual backstory!! After that the plot seemed kind of weak and was not that effective as it had been till ep 14!!
