I just finished this awesome drama. I found it fresh, funny and clever besides it being very, very romantic. A drama doesn't necessarily have to have cliffhangers, or particularly famous eye candy actors to be enjoyable and this one had a realistic and heart warming plot which made it really special. I found the lead actor very good and attractive too. I rated it 9 and will certainly watch it again whenever I will want to spend some fun and romantic moments.

not at all!!! He plays a really particular character, I am sure you will like him.

It will be very interesting to see him in this role after Bridal Mask and 7th Level. I am looking forward to this drama very much indeed.

Hi Bladey, yes I am enjoying it very much indeed and so happy that there are subtitles available finally!! The only problem is that some episodes have the Chinese subs underneath the English ones so it is difficult to read them, and besides this the story is very historically based so far(I am up to Ep. 6) but I want to hold on and see how it develops in the next episodes.

This is a great drama and I could see the writers were the same as the ones of Salaryman. The first three or four episodes could be a little offputting as they are a mixture of dramatic/over the top comedy parts, however after that the story and the plot get really good and very involving. I found it very clever and very, very well acted. Kang Ji Wan is really good here and so is Park Sang Min who plays the very convincing role of the villain. I highly recommend this and I rated it 9.

I agree that he was absolutely great playing Harry Borrison!! With this performance he really proved to be a great actor and I hope we will see a lot of him when he comes back from military service.

Great article and I agree about the fact that no explicit affectionate scenes is what makes Korean dramas so special. However, there are moments in which this is a little awkward especially in dramas involving older characters in their late 20s early 30s when after so much angst to get together they only give each other a 4th base type of kiss...come on, it's not realistic at all and it makes me feel very, very frustrated! LOL!! I just wish there was a tad more realism in romance based dramas...not too much, just a little more.

great and interesting article!

I have mixed feelings about this drama. On the one hand I really appreciated the acting of the main leads which was for most part of the drama very dramatic and realistically tearful, on the other hand I found the story to be a little bit lacking in the second half as it lost the depth it had at the beginning. Somehow all the initial traumas were quite easily forgotten which I found rather unrealistic.

great article...and yes both the ladies in Secret Garden and Shining Inheritance are hard to forget for their evilness!

Out of these I have only seen City Hunter and Innocent Man and in both cases the villains were pretty tough, although towards the end I felt sorry for Jin Pyo in City Hunter as I felt he cared for Yoon Sung. One of the villains that I will never forget is Se Na from Rooftop Prince...she was so bad and did so many evel things and in the end she got away with it!

I really enjoyed this article and I agree that those missed kisses are very frustrating for us spectators.

I only watched the Japanese version and liked it a lot. I don't feel like watching the same story again which is why I will never watch the Korean version although I am aware it was the original one. I was pretty happy with the J-version and I will stick to it.

I agree with the comment of Escapist here below. This drama was boring to watch in the second half and in particular the character of Lee Seol was really too ignorant and whiny to bear...I just don't get why in some Korean dramas the female characters have to be so humiliating for all the women out there. I only watched this until the end as I was curious to see Song Seung Hun in a drama, but I really don't recommend it and I gave this a 6 only because it had decent acting.

Hi I am an ahjumma too, however my soft spot is for actors who at least are over 30 well, with the exception of Song Joong Ki and Lee Min Ho who are not in their early 20ies anyway...however I would say my attraction is more towards their good acting rather than their looks, although I admit that is important for me too. I think that I would feel awkward in considering myself a real fan as I have a daughter who is 24 so I feel more like they could be my own children. ;0)

This is one of my old time favourite dramas and I just finished watching it for the second time. Besides the acting which is superb I really appreciate the fact that it was shot in 1996 which really gives the 'vintage' taste to the story. The OST is also really good and all in all I am sure I will never get tired of this story which is why I gave it a 10 from the start.

I heartly recommend it because it is a great drama!

I finally finished this drama after waiting many months for the subs. On the whole I would say that it was a bit of a disappointment as I was expecting a lot more from a drama with Shingo and Yamapi. However the episodes were pleasant to watch mostly because of the quirky acting of Shingo. I thought the role of Yamapi was a lot below his usual roles in other dramas and I hope to see him as a main character soon. I couldn't rate it higher than a 6 as there was really nothing original in this detective/comedy drama.

I have only seen him in Tonbi and thought he was great there. :0)

Davvero?? Non avevo capito che eri italiana!! Che bello...anche io sbavo per la mia foto del profilo! ;0)
