I didnt even know Ahn Hyo Seop before this drama. Now, I am like obsessed with him 🤣 Currently I am watching…
It's amazing how he turned from the adorable innocent I-want-to-be-a-grown-up! little SML in 30 But 17 -- to this amazingly smooth-talking handsome-as-hell CEO ðŸ˜
okay this ML is a mix of all the best qualities I have ever fallen for in every CEO in Dramaland EVER ðŸ˜ðŸ˜He knows EXACTLY what to say at EXACTLY the right time I just can't---
How can a drama just KEEP getting better and better with each new episode?!!! And FL is so cUUUUTE
THANK YOU, to whoever decided to dress him in those gorgeous black clothes. And THANK YOU, FL's stylist, for making her look so adorableeeee
Ooohh i love watching miniseries as fluffy breaks between action thrillers! Thanks for all the reccs, One Fine Week looks interesting!
I'd recommend Kiss Goblin and Mute... short, sweet shots of fluff to get you through a drama slump! Kiss Goblin was especially good, and i will wait forever for Bae In Hyuk to get an ML role in a full length drama
I very much agree about "Well-Intended Love", but what is wrong with the ML in "Love In Time"? I would put the…
Lol. I dont really remember the drama anymore so i cant argue with you now... but i worked on the volunteer team, so i spent a loooot of time with the drama. Maybe that's why I hated him. In any case, i remember him being pretty overbearing and uneccessarily pushy with his jealousy but I could be mixing it up
I get the criteria. But is seems like MDL's ranking doesn't match current reality as far as how popular some of…
Im also kinda confused, but this seems to be a longstanding thing - actors get hyped when they release a really good drama but these top actors have had really long "reigns"
Also, almost every kdrama fan's first actor crush is one of the top ten, so it makes sense
the synopsis feels so much like youth of may jhsjsh haven't watched both yet though so
heLLO there, as a person who has watched YOM and is currently watching ABP, they are NOT similar aT ALL. YOM is a frustrating tragic melodrama while this one is a total fluffy dopamine-boosting romantic sweet light romcom.
I know it's up to personal preferences but i hated YOM and started to dread every new episode while i was watching it on-air. It started out so funny and interesting... and slowly went downhill. I found a lot of it pretty pointless, stupid and meaninglessly tragic, especially as I'm familiar with the actual events and have watched other movies about it - even though the main characters were all good actors.
ABP, on the other hand... I fell in love ten minutes into Episode 1. Though I still have leftover trauma from watching YOM on-air, i really really hope it stays as funny, witty and perfectly-done as it is now
The preview lol i almost died laughing over "Do you know what my love for you and this credit card have in common? They both have no limit" XDDD the writers are geniuses, how on earth did they create such adorkable characterrrrs
Hyo Seop is so good. One thing I dislike is they are styling him to look older. Kang Tae Mu looks like he is in…
I didn't feel that, though... his styling looks good. His rounded face makes him look young, and all the outfits they put him in add to his boyish aura, IMO. Especially the oversized trench-coat, the turtlenecks and the sweater. When he's at home he looks really young. I can't see him as a 30 year old 😅 I'm glad they went with the hair-on-the-forehead style instead of gelling it all back or making it stand up... that's a very popular drama CEO hairstyle for younger actors and they look so stiff in it sometimes.
What makes Kang Tae Mu stand out among all the tsundere CEOs of Dramaland? (I mean, the unique charm that Ahn Hyo Seop adds to his character)
1. His boyish style - the fact that he's young and doesn't really try to hide it. I've seen a lot of really young-looking CEOs who try to act like they're older and experienced, or have been working for years and years. KTM's young genius character is pretty believable. 2. The vulnerable expressions - I was caught off-guard for the first time at the end of Ep 3(was it?), when they have the accidental-kiss scene. Instead of taking the angry/outraged/shocked/scandalized route, I loved the confused-sweetheart look he had(before he got knocked out XD). He balances the stoic tsundere-ness with awkwardly adorable boy-in-love really well. 3. He actually works and has a passion for what he does FOR ONCE lol. I'm glad the two leads have something in common.
And Kim Se Jeong WOW she keeps impressing me. She's perfect for her role, and she totally stands out as an FL to me. So good... Not annoying, not a doormat, not a stupid brainless idiot, not suffering from Severe Entitlement Syndrome, just a really free-spirited, sweet, relatable character. I love watching how much she loves doing her job. Her expressions and mannerisms, the way she portrays the down-on-luck, adorable FL is just so perfect.
I love the rom-com-ness of this drama. All the characters are over-the-top and don't take themselves too seriously, but they're all kindhearted, good human beings. They know how to be over-the-top and hilarious without getting too stupid or looking like they're forcing themselves to overact.
I don't have enough words to praise this drama. The fluffy rom-com levels are sky high... I'm fangirling, screaming, laughing, swooning, and just having a blast watching this one. Dramas like these were the reason I fell so much in love with kdramas.
The editing, cinematography, soundtrack... all done soooo well. The writers pay attention to the little things - the little gestures, the little glances and expressions, the little acts of affection... I love it when writers do that.
The grandfather is my favorite side character - loved him in Suspicious Partner, but he's outdoing himself in this one. What a great, dorky comedian. The FL is great - wacky and smart, not a doormat - and also doesn't suffer from Severely Entitled FL Syndrome, something I am absolutely tired of seeing; hate it as much as the pathetic doormats.
I thought Ahn Hyo Seop was slightly stiff at first in the tsundere CEO role, but he's easing into it so well, holding his own among all the handsome, charismatic, tsundere softie CEOs of Dramaland. I love the way the SFL and FL have such a good friendship and even the SML and ML are bros.
