I never meant "all" the deaths are of the cliche variety. Just that some forms appear all too often. The "falling off a building unto a car roof" is used too often in Hollywood as well. One would think that they would miss sometimes. :D

For me, Lee Yoo Ri was the 'bright, shining star' in the drama. She only got the part because Kim So Yeon bailed at the last moment. I have sampled everything that Yoo Ri has done since. Though she is always great, she seems to prefer taking part in scrips that are not worthy of her talent. It is a shame.

I assume that you have not finished the drama. I was referring to the accident about 57 minutes into episode 8.

The truck-car accident at the intersection has been used far too much in Korean movies and dramas. It is right along with the body falling off a building and landing perfectly on a car below.

I also felt that there were far too many just-in-time rescues in this.

I still gave it an 8.5 due to the acting and directing. The writing started off strong, but a number of thing ticked me off along the way. I should have written them all down as they happened. Many have already been listed by others in the comments.

Olga Kurylenko is my favorite female human. Elijah Lee is a close second. I have not been able to find this movie yet, but I look forward to doing so.

There are times that I am so disappointed with the Kdramas that I sample, that I start thinking about giving up on them. Then I get surprised by something like 2521 or Attorney Woo and realize that I can't give up just yet. Now it's Little Women. I began watching, expecting another yet another disappointment. I have only watched the first episode, but I have been struck by the quality of the writing, acting, and directing. I have a love/hate feeling for Kim Go Eun, who was terribly miscast in Goblin, in my opinion, though she did her best. However, she was fabulous in Canola and other works. She has started off strong here. Sometimes first impressions fall apart, but I am very hopeful.

Does anyone else find Shin Se Kyung's overbite distracting? I just find myself staring at her teeth.

This is the first time that I have watched a drama with Choi Soo Young as a lead. Wow, I am impressed. Jung Kyung Ho is a lucky guy.

In the end, I felt that the writing was not on the same level as the acting. This reminded me of Deliver Us From Evil with Lee Jung Jae. I guess that Hwang Jung Min likes location shoots in foreign countries.

In the middle of ep. 4. Just a bit puzzled that Jo Woo Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok have rolls well below their talent and status. Also surprised at how good Yeon Seok's English is.

Thank you for saying this. roddib's comment made me want to scream. Many people, on this site and others (https://thefangirlverdict.com/2014/09/12/review-secret-love-affair/), feel that this is the GOAT. To criticize it for a petty scene in the first episode is frustrating.

I think that Hwang Jung Min is one of the world's best actors, so that alone is reason enough to give this a try.

This is stupid. It is the worst drama I have seen since You're Too Much. It has less quality than a daytime soap. If it had been longer than 8 episodes, I would have marked it 'dropped.' What drew me to try it was the presence of Park Hoon, who is an excellent actor, but he barely had anything to do here. People who liked it are from a different planet than I am. Well, let's all go looking for a drama with great writing, acting, and directing. This wasn't it.

I am in the middle of episode 2, but don't think that I will be watching much longer. None of the leads are very good actors. I have noticed several women in the background who are more attractive than Han Ye Seul, so the premise that her character is "the most beautiful woman' isn't working for me. I just checked the tv ratings. It seems that they fell off a cliff over the final six weeks or so. If they had been rising, it would indicate that I had something to look forward to. Maybe I should watch Attorney Woo again.

I thought that the performance of Park Hoon both here and in "Alhambra" would have lifted his status in the industry, but he is still doing supporting rolls. Does anyone know if he has a reputation that is holding him back?

I just finished watching this for the second time, mainly for Park Eun Bin's performance. I always considered her to be a mid-level actress, but she nailed this part. I don't remember enjoying a performance so much since Lee Yoo Ri in My Father Is Strange. Kim Tae Ri in 2521 was close as well. Anything that Aamir Khan does is golden, but he is not Korean, so discussion of his talent needs a different blog., I guess.

Yes, you did. I am very sorry to have hurt your feelings, but I would have enjoyed the series more with the deleted scenes. Should I now commit seppuku?

I originally gave this a 10, but after watching the deleted scenes, I became aware that it certainly would have been better with them, so I revised my rating downward. I can only think of one other case of a deleted scene that upset me so much and that was from the British movie Yesterday, in which the song Something was written on the James Corden show.

The ratings keep going down. The sound quality is awful. It is as if the entire production was overdubbed in a studio.

This led me to look for other deleted scenes, and now I am annoyed. I had wondered what happened to the gift that Joon Ho had left on Young Woo's desk. Now I know. I may lower my rating.
