Same thoughts^^ Really hope to see more of the side stories=)

I absolutely agree with you! The adult husband behaves like anyone jf the friends but Taek and their chemistry is very much like SD and JH bickering all the time... Did the writers change the outcome in the middle of the series?

I never had high opinion of Kim Soo Hyun's acting, but I really liked him here (since the 3rd episode, because in 1-2 I couldn't help but find him mental or stupid). He made me laugh and cry with his sense, his pranks and very emotional second in a row noona crush.
As a great fan of Gong Hye Jin I was left wishing for more of her charachter arc, maybe about the struggles of female PD. And as for Cha Tae Hyun - his screentime was sooo limited and his character sooo indecisive, that it seems really unfair. The conclusion of their loveline was rather rushed (as long as for much of the story he was left out, aparently brooding over the dilemma of friendship vs relationship). The romance was predictable if not obvious, given the way Ye Jin and joon Mo actually looked more like a married couple. So I think earlier solution of this "intrigue" and more focus on problems of the Producers would have benefited the show. Also I wanted more of the main characters quartet spending time together, making a quirky friendship.
Unlike most I skipped moments of the so called "umbrella couple", because for me they were mostly boring and dragged and were really the least inventive part of the plot.
On the whole it was a nice show, that made me laugh out loud with some really unexpected turns of certain drama clishes. Mockumentary style (when properly dozed) was also a win for the Producers.

My thoughts exactly about the characters.
I wish they focused more on Eun Byul, maybe brought her back couple of episodes earlier.
As for the friends and classmates it felt like the writers made sketches: a girl dreaming of being a celebrity, a girl who has no idea what to make of herself, a clever boy at the edge of suicide... But in the seond half of the drama they never went too far from the sketches to pay more attention to their problems and development.(
You pointed out right questions about adults - the teacher, Soo In's onni, and there are even more about families - you simply cant skip problems in relationship between parents and children like that in a school drama...

Absolutely disappointed:((( Another drama that started with so much potential and even exceeded my expectations till ep.10, when the writers suddenly decided to follow Hana Kini scenario and gradually kill the show... All these trauma thing and stupid lopsided love triangle was not really interesting (esp. ep 11 - the peak of boredom)
But there was so much story to tell, so many thing to explore (like more friendship and support fo each other, more student-teacher interactions, choice of future professions, and they could show more of the new family relations of the twins and mom - it looked somehow unnatural and void) that I kept watching and Eun Byul's return promised smth fresh, but all other parts of the plot were sacrificed for the sake of stupid justapositon of absolutely dull and freakingly irritating "lead" (the guy just can't act and he doesn't stand the comparison to SungJae) to the adorable and lively and intersting character - just like Nakatsu, which makes it even worse - to have to come through same anger and disappointment again.(((
On the whole I can't even rate the drama, I liked most actors: Soo Hyun did great job depicting sisters, SungJae is gorgeous, the villain girl was really good - she made us hate her.
I've decided that for me this drama has alternative ending (or rather alternative second half)))

Keke) They do seem to be like a married couple:)))
And my thoughts exactly about Eun Byul and I An reunion... weren't they like best friends? She definitely owes him the whole story and a bonus like maybe apology
I also hope for the friendship and really good sister relations! Unite and defeat all the low thugs!

Now I just hope for really good reason behind Eun Byul's behavior: it better be something really important and worthy to cause abcense... though I caan't imagine what could bring about faking your death and being so cruel to Mother... I mean Eun Byul just could not possibly calculate the way events were to take...
I wonder why she never told mom about the twinsister. This Mother was likely to adopt her as well ages ago, but of course that would mean less drama.

And Now I'm looking forward to the twins interactions and hope for some great horrow style scene to freak Kang So Young out.

I cried for him Т_Т
I think that if Eun Bi knew all the hard stuff that Tae Kwang has to deal with since childhood, she would pay him more attention and be kinder to him, especially with all the help and support he always gave her
(in my opinion Han I An is kind of pathetic and boring...)

Rather slim legs + time = I like your idea about innocent façade of this onni.

After ep 10 I just hope that Hae Young will meet a really nice woman and be happy with someone not as despicable and spoiled as Soo Ah, neighther a crazy stalker nor a girl who has no respect for him. And I also hope that he learns to express his feelings better...
For me it is not the question who Nam Sang Hyo chooses, because I don't want her to be with Hae Young unless she truely loves him more than her work and shows respect for his feelings and for his work. In my opinion 7 years ago it was her work that she chose instead of her husband: she was too selfish and irresponsible for a wife (like there are no highclass hotels in New York) and she didn't try to get to know him. Well now she is 7 years older and if she chooses this too-good-to-be-true director it will be a kind of "surprise" from the writers: for in dramaland the girl usually prefers a "badass" main charachter and leaves the same type of "ideal" second main lead with broken heart. It is much easier for Nam Sang Hyo to respect her boss and understand how important his work is and she is too easily touched by little things he does (like "heroic" singing) so let her be with the guy who says he is never going to leave the woman (but don't forget about his buisness trip at a crucial for the whole hotel point with all the responsibility left to NSH).
Let her go, Hae Young-aa.

oh, sorry) I was too angry to realise that

This drama joined the list of the dropped ones. Actually I saw that coming even before the stupid amnesia: I didn't like the CCH & JJH being all lovey-dovey, it just seemed too unnatural, like they both have undergone amnesia and complete change of personality...
I liked the way the show started with all the charachters being crazy in their own way. But I was wrong to expect something special and decent comedy from the writers. The first impression of crazyness and surprising actions was replaced by predictable turn of events. Great Shin Sung Rok (and his characters poor one-sided love) and cute Yoo Eun Mi are not enough to kep me watching it.

oh, am I the only one who finds the kiss scene in the end of ep.9 was kind of creepy? I mean, I would have freaked out or had a heartattack if I were sitting all alone with my eyes closed listening to the music and singing along and... then out of the blue smth touched me ughhhhaaaa

Sooo. It was just not my cup of coffee. I quite liked the first half when they had different cases to solve and the way the stories of the characters were gradually unfolded and CHA SEUNG WON! CHA SEUNG WON! CHA SEUNG WON!
But then it became more of a "i should finish" and "well it is not THAT bad" kind of watch with a LOOOT of FF. If they added other cases in the last 8 episodes the story would not be boring and predictable. The tiny twist they added made me think only "oh... they tried" but it didn't make a huge impact or turn the potentially good drama into real daebak.

on the whole hillarious!
really nice turn of a plot to leave Ki Tae alone and helpless, but come on! this situation is kind of pathetic... during the time he spent there he could unscrew the doorlock with his fingernails or smth \not to mention that he had both cold water to drink and hot to keep himself warm\

Seriously I'm at a loss wether it's worth watching... I desided to close my eyes to so much nonsense in the first 2 ep, because Lee Jong Suk and Kang So Ra are doing a great job (and I'm always glad to see Park Hae Jin since the Family Outing))

But the further the more outrageous things are happening: too much mist and too little sense and this doppelganger charecter just freaks me out (call me a heartless brick but I feel no sympathy to whoever she is, maybe because I never found acting of Jin Se Yon convincing)...

All through 7-8 I really cringed at the doctor's leapfrog between the teams... seems like now I'm scared to death to fall ill

Did I miss something or did they just drop the matter of new provocation from North Korea? The photo of recent negotiations suggested some new deal between Falcon and NK, which was unlikely to be solved merely by Kim Do Jin's death...

I guess it was a whole bunch of things. Soo Hyun made a programm about the recent serial murders and before that she had inquired about Ki Dong Ho's case. Her husband has long suspected something fishy about that 10 years old case (remember the flashback when he as a prosecutor requested to investigate these murders again). <br />President's secretary was monstrous and paranoic enough to chose kidnapping as a measure to prevent Saet Byul's parents from further prying into those matters (and they distracted them with ransom at first). Everything has been planned so smoothly: Cha Bong Sub was dead, and Dong Ho's execution was as well as arranged due to this kidnapping. I don't think that they intended to kill Saet Byul in first timeline (just like in the second) - not until they learnt about the photos...

Absolutely agree with You! This open ending was in Sherlock style - to make people ponder and wonder and the whole drama urges watchers to use their brain.
However one thing bothers me - why Dong Chan didn't come with idea to put this tracking device on Saet Byul (when it worked so brilliatly for her mother)?

It is absolutely illegal for a guy to have sooo loooong eyelashes U_U
