welp, I guess I have to give it a shot then...

Thanks so much for sharing. It was nearly impossible for this to live up to all the hype, but I thought it was a fun watch. I hope they get to do a sequel.

I haven't seen it yet so I can't comment on the movie, I just wanted to comment on your last sentence. I've lived in the states my whole life, and I am watching asian entertainment almost exclusively (mostly Japanese and Korean). Hollywood has completely lost its way, I can't remember the last good thing I watched that was made here.

please post if anyone finds a good version online. I'm in the US so who knows when I will get to see this...

thanks so much, I love this site! Someone will have to explain the ending to me but still very interesting. It feels like a parable

I know it's only 10 eps in, but so far do you think this is worthy of an 8,8 rating?

I agree, the FL is lovely indeed. There's a lot to like about this. Is there a name for this type of show? (Silent, Piece Of Your Mind, Do You Like Brahms?, Call It Love etc.)

I don't know why so many of these shows rush the ending like this. You could devote the final episode to it, but instead they usually throw them back together in the last 3 minutes.

My other main criticism is the breakup. This also happens a lot in these shows, the reasons they split are so trivial that I keep asking myself: Why did they break up again?

so bad, a waste of talented ML and FL. Started pretty well, but soon had no idea what it was doing and the breakup/makeup made absolutely no sense.

who are the cameos?

ML and FL have good chemistry, everything else is just stupid...

does anyone know how I can watch this in the US, frustrating it's not available yet??

What if you actually like her and your brother doesn't, he just wants to use her to hide his homosexuality from his family? This men code is getting complicated!

I can't remember if his meeting In Ha was by chance or if he orchestrated it? If it was by chance, then he just chose Kang Oh because In Ha was connected to the family and ML saw that as an opportunity to exploit.

FL was so cold in the first few eps that it was hard to take her seriously as a romantic interest. Also, how could the ML consider her seriously after she's been sleeping with his friend for 10 years? Hee Joo provides an opportunity for that and it feels like she is kinda being wasted here. I thought the FL has improved in the later episodes, but it still hard to accept a relationship with her. I know this isn't a romance series, but it is definitely a strong motivation for all 4 characters at play here, even when they're trying to ignore it.

I would have rated this somewhere in the 7's before eps 7 & 8. I must be in the minority, I really like these last 2 episodes. I'm not really sold on the love story, but we'll see how that plays out. For now, it's just 3 ruthless people competing for power and it might well be impossible to have a successful relationship when success is your only goal no matter the cost.

Here's how this show should end that would make me rank it somewhere in the 9's: If the FL turns on the ML at some point and Hee Joo comes to his aid. In the end ML and Hee Joo rule atop what is left of Kangoh. That would be epic!

I don't hold out much hope, but we'll see how it plays out. Much respect to LJW, he is one of the best ML's out there and he can carry a show even when the writing isn't that great.

There was so much to like about this show, but like so many kdramas, the ending is just so stupid! Please, can someone try to justify this? What in the world was keeping them apart at the end, other than we had to fill up 2 more episodes with pointless filler?

In SK, is it normal for a couple to date 10 years before getting married?

Who is a better ML than LJW? I don't think he exists. If this show succeeds it will only be because of him. The love triangle is ridiculous, it would be much more fun if he ended up with Hee Joo

I've never seen this FL before, but the chemistry between her and the ML is very good.

This would be much more believable. To revive a love triangle after a decade is just ridiculous. I've been sleeping with your friend for 10 years, but it's you that I really wanted all this time. GTFO!
