watched this when Fated To Love You was screening and i was curious at Jang Hyuk's earlier works. storyline is reflective of kdramas at that period. its dated bcos fo the clothes, makeup etc. but i enjoyed it. was interesting to see Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara 12 years ago and their chemistry. Corny, cheesy, funny and melo in some parts. good drama to go back to when you want to see how in the earlier works of actors/actresses you like. of course i wld now prefer Jang Hyuk's later projects as he has matured and i think he looks much better as he aged.

1st time watching adapation from manga. some parts OTT comic, unreal, but then it doesnt lose its reality. it also changed my perspective on classical music. fun to watch.

most depressing drama i have watched. v bad chemistry between 2 main leads

I was pleasantly surprised. Deadpan humor delivered by HJW and laid back teasing sexiness by Hyo Jin.

Based on what I know, the ratings are calculated on limited sample size and I think it's not correct but it seems studios are still using it to decide on awards. Perhaps they should do awards based on international viewings and surprises may be in store. i still think MBC productions have a certain quality and I would always view their productions first. What works for me is international reviews plus some blogposts which I check.
