I love your review. It's all so true... the way he never insults her or debases her intelligence like a lot of smart drama-boyfriends do. And also their problems were so normal and real like a normal real life couple. I like that they touched often and a lot too, like a couple in real life, rather than those distant let's-not-touch-too-much scenes you get in drams. They are my fav couple. Fav!
I love writing reviews, and always appreciate it when someone appreciates what I write. Thank you :D They're my fa OTP too... and its no wonder the manga is a template for all kdrama ever lol.
i agree with everything here. However in relation to my enjoyment of a drama, it depends on the situation. I never watched Sealed With A Kiss or Lee Jun Kai precisely because it was so abusive and being touted as 'love' which it clearly wasn't. However I watched Itazura na Kiss and liked it, even while bemoaning the male lead's words to the female lead and how she took it complacently.
Even if I enjoy a drama, I'm not blind to everything you have discussed. I notice them all while watching, but I guess I compartmentalize and chalk it up to Asian culture. Another thing I noticed in these dramas, is that there is always more expected from the female - as in even if she she bright and successful, she must devote time to household duties and to serving food and coffee etc, serving her family members, coupled with her school work or her job. A man on the other hand, he comes home, sits and waits for his coffee or food. Yes, everybody must eat etc, but that always strikes me as unfair.
Don't you just love them together? I think sometimes his feelings are there for everyone to see, but he's so much of a jerk too - to himself and her. I blame Mom,
Very well said. I liked the character Han Yeo-Jin turned out to be. She's one of my favorite drama leads. No more simpering misses. She is truly strong and I understood why she did everything she did. How many of us can come out of a situation like that and be forgiving? I'd want blood.
Rewatching after about 7 years. I forgot most of the drama except the plot points. OMG, how could I forget this. This is the sweetest version of Irie Naoki. I think he likes her from episode 1 - liked to tease her that is. So cute.
I am kinda mad at myself for enjoying this drama so much, seeing as how the girl was too desperate and the guy…
If you're weird, there are millions of lovers of this story to be weird with you. You're not alone lol. The characters are frustrating, the obsessive selfless love is frustrating, but the story is absolutely sweet and brilliant.
I did like it. It was enjoyable but something always felt off. I don't think I would've watched this if it wasn't…
I wanted to love this because I love Jin Wook and I love Moon Chae Won. But I'm going to have to drop it. It can't hold my attention. I'm getting something different than what I signed up for. It really is like a bad makjang.

I started watching it just now. Something is off to me too. I think the it's the acting. They're all just doing their parts but you can see they're not connecting. I don't know how to explain. You know how you watch some shows and the acting is so good you believe in the character and forget it's some people acting out some scenes? You believe in the perfection of the acting? Well I don't get that here. Their movements and lines are jerky with fake emotion. The viewer can't get immersed in the story because you're always conscious of the actual actors. Does that make any sense lol?
Joo Won is great here. I love his acting and his dramas. He makes it worthwhile to watch a bad story - I'm looking…
I liked the movie. He's excellent at playing hard, focused, dark characters. 7th Grade Civil Servant was... honestly, I don't even know what character that was. They emasculated the male lead and tried to make the female lead tough. She came off as selfish and unreasonable instead. Sorry for stepping on any toes. It's just my analysis and opinion. :)
Am i the only one that like bromance between Haneul & shin suk ho and SSH & Tantara band more than romance story??anyway…
I love all the bromance going around. I think they have srong friendships. Especially within the band. They're all there for each other, no one letting anyone else down. Let's hope the producers and scriptwriters keep the bromance strong. And Ha Neul and Ji Nu... I need them to work together and support each other too.
I'm shipping Suk Ho and Green. I can't wait for next week. So impatient. I love when Suk Ho and Green argue and support each other. And the single dad ... I think I'm in love with that actor. He's so sweet, I love his smiles.
There is no English sub as of yet. I watched it raw and enjoyed it, but imagine if I understood everything they were saying. I'd have enjoyed it a lot more. As of now, there is a fan channel on Viki, but only ep1 is subbed to 35%. You can help by trying to get it licensed, or spreading the word so some Chinese-English subber may take pity on us and join the team lol.
