Ok...

The first episode felt all over the place for me. It tried to be cool, but it just didn't feel right. Too many slow motion moments and unnecessary fighting scenes.



I'm probably going to get bashed for this.



Though, I will say that I like the set-up and the environment (like that of Capital Scandal). They look very pleasing to the eyes. The characters also seem interesting, but I don't know if they'll be able to hold my attention. I know that sounds like quite a contradiction, but what I'm trying to say is that the characters could be a total bomb leading up or they could be interesting. So far... I don't know which way they'll go.



Let's just say that it was a weird first episode.



edit: I re-watched the first episode and paid more attention to it. I must say I was most likely drunk on air or something because this episode was great. I don't know why I originally gave it a 5. I think I was too distracted by the cheese fest originally.

Great first episode

Apart from Kang San's barely believable handicapped person acting, I liked the first episode. My favorite parts were the actions sequences, even if I found it a little hard to believe that a bunch of men couldn't handle one tiny girl and that for some reason I found her a bit annoying. And the bromance between Kang To and his friend. I hope I find the girl less annoying as each episode passes because I really want to watch this drama. And once Kang To becomes Gaksital, it will probably get even better.

too cute

First of all I dream of a closet like Ji An has!!! If only!!!



Second, all my reviews will probably be biased because I love Kim Sun Ah.



I thought this was funny and sweet. I enjoyed all the character interaction. I think I'm going to enjoy this one.

HAHAHAHAHA!

This was rly funny. I think that this could be good. I am going 2 continue watching b/c so far I have no reason 2 stop. The actors r doing ok so far. I think it is just 2 funny that they have that 1st encounter 2 get over. OMG! How funny is that. She should have just grabbed the covers and covered herself as she walked out of the room......LOL! They totally just made it worse by trying 2 stay covered in the bed 2gether. I can't wait 2 see what she is going 2 make him do 2 pay for coping her shoes. I bet she makes him work it off. Something along those lines for sure.



Newayz! Good start 2 this drama. It has potential.

Prideless Shancai?

Ok so the ending of this episode made me give it a lower score. Shancai and her family are in money trouble and they have to move. Her silly dad borrows 1 million dollars and wastes it all on the lottery of course. I really really dislike the parents in this story. They annoy me to no end. In Tdramas annoying characters are usually even more annoying than usual, which forces me to skip their parts all together. So Shancai asks Daoming for money........ DOES THIS MAKE SENSE!!!! I thought she had more pride than that. -____- And even if she did need the money why go to Daoming, why not go to Qinghe who is her childhood best friend. Sure you love Daoming doesn't mean you start depending on him already. Honey he loves you because you are independent. UGH I hate this SO much. But the rest of the episode was sweet. Lei telling Daoming that Shancai loves Daoming. Daoming and his sister's fight on the plane. The way that Daoming smiles, the way that he stands, the way that he looks. I absolutely love Daoming. Daoming so far is my favorite version of this character. So so so hot. :P

Regrets, Love, Hate.

Of course Shancai regrets choosing Lei. Of course Lei isn't over Jing. Silly Shancai, did you really think you could make Lei forget his first love. Why did you leave Daoming to be with that cold rock. I feel so bad for Daoming. I really do love the way this version handles the romance. It isn't straight breakup, get back together, breakup and get back together. There is some sense to it. Now Daoming will obviously ignore Shancai as much as he can before realizing he can't resist her if he really means what he said that he won't interfere with matters of the heart anymore. He won't go straight back to her which makes sense. The other version had them getting back together right after Lei and Shancai broke up which would cause distrust in a regular couple. Oh but the chemistry that Shancai and Daoming have is soooooooooo hot. It sizzles whenever they are in a room or in close proximity of each other :P.

I'm Sorry But I Don't Feel Sorry for You.

Agh it annoys me... I know that this part of the drama always happens but for some reason it annoys me the most in this version. Shancai picks Lei. And unlike in the other versions she doesn't really seem confused when she picks him, she actually makes the decision that she likes Lei. Its only until she realizes that Lei is a boring fool, who is obviously not as good as Daoming does she regret her decision. So in that way I don't really feel sorry for Shancai. But I feel sooo bad for Daoming. The poor puppy, had his heart broken twice by the same girl. Of course the first time she didn't really like him but this time, she let him kiss her so... But yay! Daoming's sister shows up in this episode. She was always one of my favorite characters and she really does remind me of Shancai when I look at her from the back. But I'm upset that the way Shancai meets Daoming's sister is not the same as the other versions. I wanted to see the funny chase scene between Daoming and Shancai. Oh Shancai, do you see the errors of ways now? Will you stay faithful to your true love Daoming now?

My favourite so far...

I totally fell for this drama after the first episode. I like this historical period since Capital Scandal and i was waiting for someone to bring it back again. I feel, that in some ways, it is very similiar to CS, but it surelly will be a little bit more brutal than CS.



The first episode came out really well. The characters were introduced very nicely. Also, the main character definately is not a good guy (for now, right :D). I love Joo Won like that ^_^



And the fighting scenes! There were like... AMAZING!

That's it ?! Really ?!

I was so eager to watch the series. It seemed interesting from the summary and yet the disappointment.."Another awful Taiwanese series, it doesn't seem anything like Nodame", these were the first thoughts that came. No one offers anything worth watching. Everything is awful : a love story that doesn't touch the soul, a silly boy that tries too hard to be cute, an arrogant guy who has no reason to be so, a stupid girl that pretends to be smart and a Japanese woman who impresses just because she's beautiful. Yet, I watched the 2nd episode as well..

Goodbye Alice, Welcome.. Alice

Goodbye Alice, Welcome.. Alice. I love the fact that her personality changed. Either something made her change so drastically or she's not Ito Seiko/Alice. I think it's the latter though. Also Ting Yu is surely jealous that he doesn't receive as much attention as before from Lisa. The mother is awkward and the new Alice is so suspicious that I want to see more of her. The bickering is a bonus, Ting Yu finally found his match. I don't care for either Dei Fei or Hai Jie, until now I found them useless. I want more episodes! The series just got interesting!

Difficulties along the way.

I understand her completely, I would never have been able to cut of all my hair either.. This drama is just beyond awesome.. I'm loving it more and more by the episode.

She made a pretty cute guy. I'm getting pretty annoyed with her father though. How can he possibly be so selfish?

Just because she is a girl?... Its just not right..



I'm off to watch some more. Cliffhanger extreme

Poor Bok Gu

I feel so sorry for Bok Gu.. the ending scene was harsh.

I hope Da Jung will regret that she didn't help him to pay for the hospital bills!!!

Bok Gu really loves his brother - talking to him all the time over the phone.. unbelievable.

Eun Seok really cares for Bok Gu... so it's heartbreaking to watch..

WHY haven't I watched this before?

Picking up this drama, It didn't seem like much. Its more like since I am normally a fan of crossdressing dramas, I decided to take up this one to. What I had not expected however, Is to already 10 minutes into the drama be completely in love with it. The comedy is fresh which leaves you laughing your eyes of at nearly every scene made in the drama.



The opening song is really good, Its stuck on my head. I'm pretty sure however that this song won't be the only thing about this drama stuck on my head by the end of it.

I need to watch some more...

For a first episode to deserve the high ranking of a 10 is not often. But this drama episode has by all means deserved it. It makes you want to continue watching, It wasn't predictable.. Made you want more.

cliffhanger

When Cho In goes with the man that collapses to the hospital he regains more memory. Dr. Kim Hyung Ju that knows him asks if he is Cho In. While looking at Young Ji, he denies it, but she says yes and confesses all that she knows to him. She tells him to go back to being Cho In and leaves crying and what upsets me is that he lets her. I can see where he would feel betrayed, but still he could see it from her point of view. Anyway, he tells Dr. Kim that he was shot and doesn?t know who planned it so he can?t trust anyone right now. SAD!!!

Choi is still watching him and Seon Woo goes to find what Cho In has said to Dr. Kim. I think she realizes the truth, because of Seon Woo?s lame excuse for being there. This dude has really lost his mind. He asks Choi to finish the ?business? while setting next to Cho In who doesn?t recognize him.

Cho In goes back to Young Ji and they talk and he seems to forgive her. Although she releases him from any promises, he still says he will come back.

Seon Woo spends time with Seo Yeon. Oh crap?Young Ji calls Seo Yeon and asks her to come see her and Seo Yeon asks Seon Woo to go. So, now Choi is after both of them. Oh, wow?you are never going to believe what happens next.

Bittersweet...

Bitter because it's the last episode and it went by too fast. Sweet because of the amazingly happy ending!! They couldn't have looked happier on that very last shot of the drama.



I'm glad Hye Jung went and got therapy (she mentioned she would in a previous episode) and it showed since she was finally coming around. She had already fallen in love with Ha Na, but didn't want to flat out admit it...lol I never thought I would say I liked something she did, yet I was proved wrong...jejejee



And I'm glad her change didn't come out of nowhere since it shows a time jump.



I LOVED this drama and I'll miss it.
