The eldest sister in this has one of the greatest characters (both male and female) in k-drama. She's so cool…
I feel that Lee Yoo Ri's performance here to be one of the greatest that I have ever seen. Sometimes she underplays. Sometimes she "chews the scenery." But she is always on point. We have Kim So Yeon to thank because she walked away from the part as filming was beginning, forcing the producers to quickly find a replacement She would not have played the part as well.
Just finished ep 5. The writing is sub-par. The reason I am still watching is that I enjoy looking at Kim So Yeon. I will never forget how she walked away from My Father Is Strange just before filming began. In a panic, producers turned to Lee Yoo Ri, who gave one of the greatest performances that I have ever seen, but since has not done anything worthy of her talent. We live in a strange world.
I believe that this is the first time that I have seen Yeon Woo Jin in anything. He seems charisma-free. Maybe it is just me.
Kim Sung Ryung and Kim Sun Young are doing their usual solid work.
I guess that it is too late to bring in a superior writer to finish this up. : (
Just finished ep 10. I have found that I am making use of fast-forwarding more and more. Still, this is the first drama that I have enjoyed since Attorney Woo. I was thinking of giving up on Kdramas.
I was not a big fan of Veteran, only giving it a 7.0. However, I consider Hwang Jung Min to be one of the world's top actors, so I am looking forward to this.
This was pretty bad. It would take too long to list all the improbable plot details. The "comic relief" actor just made me angry. I watched the last half in 1.5.
I just finished this for the first time in about seven years. It really is like cotton candy. I liked the four leads, but many of the others got on my nerves. I enjoyed the jokes about Ha Ji Won's short legs, which are not really all that short. The quality of the sets is not what we see today, just 14 years after this was made. I still give it 8.0.
Does anyone know what happened to Philip Lee? Did he return to being a systems engineer?
She was great in My Father is Strange. That was one of the best characters in K-drama land. Other than that, the…
I agree with luffykhi completely. "Spring Turns To Spring" had some good moments, but most of her projects I found to be unwatchable. Maybe the problem is with her agency. Maybe she has made enemies. Who knows?
This is my 2nd time watching this drama and I am still blown away at how amazing it is. I know people get turned…
Thank you. I wish that more people were able to get past the title. You forgot to write about the music. There were several scenes that I would have skipped past, but the music held me fast and created an emotional "moment." Comments about the drama, under YT videos of the music, are even more effusive than here on MDL.
Random thoughts: 1. Every so often a drama comes along that makes me wish that I had been taking notes from the beginning. This one had so many plot holes and "actions without consequences" that I am surprised that I did not drop it about mid-way. 2. Song Ha Yoon did a great job. Why hadn't I noticed her before? Through MDL, I realized that the only other project that I had seen her in was the movie Intimate Strangers. I plan to watch some of her other work. 3. Park Min Young, Song Ha Yoon, and Choi Gyu Ri all have beautiful legs and wear short skirts quite often. I am grateful. 4. As others have said, the Yu Ra part of the story was unnecessary. 5. I don't need to see any more dramas with Na In Woo. There were many scenes in which I thought about what a talented actor might have done.
