Wow, What just happened ???

I've seen a lot of dramas but this one seems to be one of a kind !

What kind of beginning is that ? We got the beginning and the end of the relationship in one ep, second male lead already met with first female lead. We already know so much about this twisted plot... Honestly I'm amazed but a little bit scared for our female lead which will surely endure a lot !

Let's go for it anyway !! =)

complicated

I feel sorry for Joon in this episode. The playboy that doesn't believe in love has fallen for HaNa only to find out she is the daughter of his father's first love which has his mom behaving like a crazy drunk. He even tries to get over it, but I think in the end he felt like they couldn't all be happy...so he is going to give up his love for their parents. Lets see how long that lasts.

All of these actors are doing a great job and the writing is wonderful.

I'm going to have to watch Autumn in My Heart, Winter Sonata, Spring Waltz and Summer Scent now since the same director made those dramas.

Can't wait til next episode!!!

Wo sihuan ni, ni ne?

"forced by Shi Lang's cousin, Tao Hua confessed her feelings that she likes Shi Lang, without her knowing that Shi Lang was behind her and heard she say. However, Shi Lang did not say anything because he was confused about his own feelings".



Hmmm, I didn't really like when the female lead confess her feeling first...

Finally I can enjoy the love story

"Tao Hua decided to become a nun after seeing Shi Lang kissed a girl on their way to Tao Hua new place"

(why did she have to move again and then cancel it??, I don't understand this)

I like this episode that finally Tao Hua brothers work together to help her get closer to Shi Lang.

Should I go or should I stay?

"After the accidental kiss, Tao Hua felt sorry and looked for Shi Lang, but He told Tao Hua not to look for him anymore, so Tao Hua left dissapointed.

The youngest brother come up with an idea of a fake foto of Shi Lang and his girlfriend. After seeing this foto, Tao Hua decided to go to England to study, but she regretted leaving Shi Lang without telling him that she likes him".

well...why do brothers who love his sister too much could let her go abroad by herself??

Brothers ... you're too much!

"Tao Hua, the youngest and only girl in the family, has five older brothers who are very protected of her. As each guy approached her to be her boyfriend, Tao Hua's brothers would beat those guys to prevent them from getting close to Tao Hua.

On a rainy day, Tao Hua met Shi Lang, a handsome neighbor who lend an umbrella to Tao Hua. Tao Hua fell in love instantly with Shi Lang. During a Judo competition, they accidentally kiss during the fight, and this makes Tao Hua' brothers to plan what they would do to prevent Shi Lang dating Tao Hua"

I like this 1st episode, except for too much actions from the brothers

Story has potential, screenwriter needs massive help.

The premise has promise (how can a story about a future-telling diary NOT be interesting/intense!?), but the screenwriter needs some serious help...



Maybe the manga it's based off of was like this, I don't know, but so many aspects of the chase scene and of the character's actions just make no batshit sense.



Well, it'd make sense if everyone were chickens with their head cut off, but otherwise, these characters aren't people, they're puppets the screenwriter is using to make movements across the drama. They haven't gotten any feelings out of me yet.



With a premise that appears to be super interesting, I'm really hoping it doesn't disappoint. :|

Alright, I get it. You miss her.

This is starting to get a little repetitive. I feel like nothing new really happened until the very end (which was a good one). I was starting to get bored until the last few minutes. Hope the next episode is not more of the same.

Lee Gak Loves Her

I love how this episode turned out even if the preview showed blech.



Lee Gak takes the helm here, and I appreciate how there are both advances in the mystery and our Gak-Ha love story.



Lee Gak tries to be the responsible gentleman for Bak Ha now that he is fully aware of her feelings for him. I got a heartache when he told her not to like her, no matter how you do it, it just hurts. :(



He now has two things weighing on his shoulders, one is the responsibility to solve the Princess' mystery in order for him and his men to safely get back to their time and the second is how he is becoming increasingly aware of his own feelings for Bak Ha. Lee Gak taking the sprouting lotus seed out of the aquarium and planting it on a pot is loaded with that meaning.



[Se Na and Tae Mu scenes are toned down to tolerable and finally, the cellphone clue is cracked. Se Na wanting to get married right away--why am I not surprised? Lee Gak says 'gomawo' and Se Na shakes hands with him--gee what a nice business proposal!?]



Ahh but Lee Gak cannot deny his own feelings! Even if he dares not to come close, he can't help but care for her.



The moment he ran out of that conference room to save her in burning warehouse, I knew: Lee Gak loves her. No doubt.

Starting to lose it's novelty, but we'll see.

So far the show's been rather interesting, and the crime themselves have been very interesting. These cases aren't your everyday I-stabbed-or-shot-a-guy murders, they're intelligent!



It challenges my mind (I try to solve the case before they do...and I've done it so far), but I'm hoping they'll surprise me next time with something I can't solve.



It's getting a little routine, and thus losing its novelty (after only two episodes! Bad sign!), so fingers crossed the next criminal is a genius mastermind. 8D

Too many crime-solving dramas in Japan, BUT!

There are honestly way, way, way too many detective/crime-solving dramas in Japan now. They are so cliche and there's really no point in watching. Perhaps they're trying to follow in the footsteps of American shows like CSI...But with CSI, at least each of the main characters have their own history and subplot! J-dramas are short and can't afford that, so usually Japanese detective shows suck.



J-detective drama = crimes + eccentric main character

Lather, rinse, repeat.



However, Kagi is making J-detective dramas look good. There's a theme, not just a unique main character. I took off points because Toda Erika isn't really doing anything for me so far, and I managed to figure out the case halfway through.



Regardless, a detective drama worth giving a chance to.

Off to a good start.

The story's been done, but so far so good. No complaints, and Takei Emi is seriously on the rise as one of the more talented actors of the next generation. This drama basically allows her to showcase her skill--but the plot isn't half bad either! Though hard to tell from just the first episode, I'll stick with it for a while.



Looking forward to the rest of it.

Ooops, back to zero!

After the photos scandel, Seung Yeon tells Woo Hyun to be in a relationship with In Young to cover the scandel after she have been forced by the wicked witch Han team leader, seriously she really become to play with my patience, i don't know what's wrong with her she's so over protective about Woo Hyun that she doesn't care if she hurt him. She's gonna make out of that bar a home for her, i never felt any little kind of sorrow torture her i wish she never understand the CEO's feelings he's so good while she's so bad Arghh i hope someone shoot her and relive us all.

So after In Young and Woo Hyun's annoucement of being in a relationship, the old jalousy feelings got back. The look on Seung Yeon's face when Woo Hyun kissed In Young in the MV awww so sad :( and the sleepless moments so cute^^

So everything between Woo Hyun and Seung Yeon was messed up even though they are deeply in love and there's also some problems with the juniors. This ep wasn't good enough exept some moments let's hope the nxt ep will be much better.

AHHHHH...

The scene was awesome when Hang Ah broke down in front of Jae Ha. I was like "Please, Jae Ha say something!" I was so disappointed when he didn't but I guess he will eventually.

I'm sooo shaking about what's going to happen with Jae Ha or what they are planning..

The princess and the soldier are also cute.. -.-
