Hmmm...I haven't seen American Suits so I don't know these character names, but All three of the main female characters…
OK, I found out who Donna is, and actually, Hong Da Ham as the secretary is actually a pretty sassy and smart character with charisma. Again I don't remember the beginning, but she is no simpering or weak side character. And yes, there is some romantic tension although not obvious at all till later. But I wouldn't expect any of this to be just like the American characters.
I have several question one how is the korean donna? And is there a korean Harvey/Donna romance?
Hmmm...I haven't seen American Suits so I don't know these character names, but All three of the main female characters are actually quite strong characters. Can't remember the first episode so I don't remember who cried, but unless you saw a few episodes and still hated it, I wouldn't judge it so quick by way of said scene.
The characters are pretty engaging. And, while this is a remake, it's a different country so if you're looking for exact representations of everything I'd think you'd be disappointed. But if you see older comments, it looks like a lot of people who loved the American Suits also enjoyed this as a K-drama set in Korea with different characters in situations similar to the original.
The boss is so EXTRA! I want them to end up together xD
Ha, so true! I thought that at first too, although I think it's clear he has the fairy godmother role. I love how Iseya Yusuke is pulling off his 'strange haircut guy' look so that he's believably dorky looking when irl he isn't!
Ok, this is so cute and cliche, but I love it. Only, so far Haru is sooo not...charming as a weak girl character, and normally I love her! I think she just doesn't fit cutesy roles and thus has to try too hard/comes off fake? Maybe she's just best in more mature or less stock character roles...even in a rom-com, like she was perfect in Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi.
Then again her character as written so far doesn't give her much to work with, as there's nothing yet that makes her likeable or unique, no quirks or spark. But I don't care, it's too fun/comforting to watch, and seems like it might become the best of this romantic workplace comedy genre since Jimi ni Sugoi (imho)!
Dang, the plot holes. Twists alone don't make a story well-written...I enjoyed the first 5 eps but had to watch the rest on high speed to get through it. As usual, lots of unnecessary time-wasting and contrivances...Good casting, though....
Maybe it gets better, but after a few eps, Yasuda Ken's character seems to be the only saving grace about this...which doesn't make sense, as even the cliche elements (such as everything) normally have lots of room for fun and even some meaning. Instead the cases seem snoozy and predictable...even her technically interesting family...maybe it's her? Cutesy done wrong?
I am so in love with the cast. Like did you notice they chose actors PERFECTLY? Louis, Jessica, Mike... It's just…
Totally agree, and I didn't even watch the original. Jang Dong Gun is perfect for this character, and while I'd never seen Park Hyung Shik in a main role, he's amazing! His nonverbals, emotional depth...wow. Also a perfect fit for his character.
I still do not understand why people review dramas that have not ended yet .
They supposedly changed that rule (eh?!), but I'm hoping that will go out the window ...unless reviewers make the effort to update their review at the very end!
That rule was changed. Now, users can write reviews on shows that aren't complete [although it's preferred not…
I agree with Lynn, I look at reviews because I want to know how the reviewer felt about the entire drama! We all know everything can change at the end...especially the middle...and people are reviewing after a couple episodes? I would probably give 80% of dramas a 9 or 10 if it were all based on 2 eps! (^_^) (And it doesn't matter if it's a remake; we all know how those can go either way.) Hope this guideline is brought back--it was hard enough to maintain before--but I think it kept this a credible review source, not just a place to make comments while watching. It's the one thing other popular databases don't have, and what first brought me to mdl.
I am wondering whether to start this one or not. I have not watched the Japanese version so I am not sure about…
Well, I watch more J-dramas than K-dramas, and I recall thinking the original was one of the three leads' worst dramas ever (all of them are fantastic actors, just not in this! Granted, it was a while ago). It's a fun premise, but I thought the script was horrible, and the relationship soooo lame. Then again, a lot of people thought it was really cute, so I'm just one opinion!
I think I'll just wait to see if it looks like they've improved the story/characters, but I'm not surprised it's getting mixed reactions with some people loving it and some people feeling it's meh. But If you're so done with cliche/typical though...you might not want to invest too much time just yet imo.
Some of the cases in the middle were really mediocre and felt like filler. Totally killed the momentum for me.…
Did it get better later? The first few episodes were good, then I think the forth or fifth I was falling asleep every two seconds as the script was trash, total predictable filler and pointless conversations and zero suspense. But I want to belieeeeeeve
Okay, a few episodes in, and it's such a drag. Started out with a great premise, but then we have cops doing dumb things (and of course the female cop has a weak personality and isn't as smart as the guy), non-funny comic relief segments, dragged out dialog, cliche story...but what about the cool premise???
Does it become worth it later? Can anyone give me a sense of how the rest of it goes, if there will be more of the same, or if the writing/acting suddenly gets much better? Thanks!
