1. Overall storyline is garbage. Too long, too many break ups or near break ups with silly comebacks. 2. There are some nice shorter sidestories. 3. The main selling point for me was the "couple time" the main leads shared. Those times were very good and convincing.
Overall recomendation? Yes, if you like Hana Yori Dango and all the live action adaptions. But keep in mind it drags a loooooong time. Would I rate it 8/10? No. It's definitly lower than 8/10. I think the 7.9 rating nails it quite well, but this is only true because all the couple times were good, which lifts it to 7.9. If one would skip all the couple time, it will most likely fall to 5/10 or even lower. But be assured: There are many "couple times" scenes. ;)
PS: I'm at ep49.5 and won't watch the ending. I've seen enough. The reward were all the good scenes.
I hope they will manage to somehow keep his scenes. He worked for this. It was his last role in a drama.
I hope they put it in the extras or something like that. I don't think it's good to switch actors mid season while the potential consumer in the future doesn't have a context.
Cool because I can see Moon Ka-Young again, but shows with love as a meta-topic tend to be rather boring and unimpressive. I don't know why something like this pops up every now and then. It's a good topic for indie movies, but not for fully fletched out shows.
Oho, Yeo Ha-Jin has a cameo. :) I think I have to watch this. ^^ (I just loove when they port main characters from one show into other shows as cameos/talking topics. ^^ That brings dramaland really to life :))
Honestly what I currently like the most about this show, is the friendship the fl has with her roommate. It's just so rare in korean shows that 2 characters have a decent smalltalk conversation whithout it being super relevant for the plot. It also show's how important side characters are, to liven up the drama-world and make it interesting.
But I must say: All shots with the cat in the scene are really bad (as always in korean shows). They are just unable to portrait animals in a normal way. They overlay (here) meowing sounds which are totally random and when the animal is clearly silent. Also, every shot looks like the cat is pressured and wary of her surroundings.
Did she undergo plastic surgery recently? I'm watching her new drama but her cheeks look different than I remember. (in general: her face is somehow thinner?)
ã… eauty is overrated. Believe me, I thought the same as you a couple of years ago, but beauty is irrelevant. Especially when it's as produced and artificial as in Korea.
I don't care if a singer has bad teeth - if the voice is great, I like it. I also don't care if an actor looks good - if he/she plays bad, I don't watch it.
Okay, I have add this.He got looks and has excellent acting skills. His smile/smirks add charm onscreen. The hands…
True, this conversation won't end, but I stated my opinion and you had the urge to disagree and correct me, because you think, your opinion is the correct one AND "I'm just an anti-fan" which is also quite offending. ;)
Just don't answer to my comment anymore and accept as well, that I have a different opinion than you. ;)

Yes, I'm saying that. ^^ He can't act the way I think a good actor should be able to act. So yes, he didn't convince me to be a good actor, because of the reasons I mentioned earlier. Which then implies that I have higher standards for good actors than you. There are others who can do a much better job than him and even those are not really "good" actors. Let's just throw a really good actor in the ring: Christopher Lee. He is in so many ways better at portraying different characters than Lee Jong-Suk. Of course, he had much more time to hone his skills, but I honestly don't see Lee Jong-Suk will _ever_ be somewhere close to him.
Lee Jong-Suk is a K-Drama actor and the main job IS to look good, be trendy and be popular. Everything else comes in 2nd place.
So, my honest opinion is: He does a pretty good job at what he's doing and he makes a lot of money with it. Props to him for that. He has most likely a much higher income than me and that's good - I'm fine with it. Honestly, I don't care, because I don't know him personally but what I do care about is what I'm doing in my free time and that's watching some dramas from time to time, which includes shows he plays in and in all honesty: He's just slightly above average in his acting with good looks.

BUT: it's also not the kind of story I usually like/watch
