hard to tell at this time

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Koo Hye Sun, but I find her acting here is too much with the dubbing not helping whatsoever. I am watching this because of her and saw the Japanese version which is good. Last I saw Jiro Wang was in ISWAK 1 and 2. He looks so different now...more sexy with leaner face.

I say I'll give this drama a try while waiting for my Korean dramas for new episodes.

100% satisfactory ending

I cant believe i'm saying this but i think i may have enjoyed the ending to this version more than the original. Shock horror, i know. But it truely was amazing. The ending to this version was a little different from the original. But if you ask me, this one was better.

Truely an exceptional remake. I wish more people would give it a chance.

Koo Hye Sun is really annoying...

I love this story - I've read the manga and also have seen the Japanese version. This version seems to be a combination of both stories (in the manga, Soshi was her neighbor and childhood friend - but she's a high school student. In the Jversion, Soshi is her boss and she meets him at the office).



My main issue I can see with this version (at least for me) is Koo Hye Sun. The dubbing isn't that good and I really don't think she's a good actress....and I find her annoying (she always makes these weird faces at random moments, too).



I do plan on continuing this drama because of Jiro and the other guy (Xie Kun Da) - what Koo Hye Sun lacks they make up for - and the music is really good, too! So so far...having mixed emotions.

Bird....

I just knew Shi You Ming was one of the celestial beasts. But for someone who wanted to keep his origin a secret he had that scroll in a way too easy to open chest in plain sight...Sometimes hiding in plain sight is not the way to go, especially when he has Hu Ji as a slave...lol



And just how old is Rong Di? He was acting like a kid: "Gimme! That's mine! Mine!" That's what I saw...lol



And people....remember that shiny thing on the mural when you were looking for that scroll to save Yu Die...don't you think that's the Qilin (or whatever) eye? That's what I want to tell them...lol

Sigh....

So, I guess it's a bad thing to be honest with someone? Wu Dao compares Mu Lian and Yu Die and it seems Yu Die's moronic behavior of supporting him on everything is good.



And I have to laugh, Mo Yin does a spell, but even that does not fully erase Rong Di's obs....I mean, his love.

Why....?

I still don't understand why people are insisting to take Rong Di back to Nan Yue. He is totally useless. They should have just let Wei Liao have the throne. Who knows? Maybe he could have done better.



I'm wondering if Shi You Ming's celestial lineage is that of the eagle, bird, animal.. I wonder if Yao Yao asked about it just for the sake of asking, or if it actually has some purpose now in these last episode. And the description the temple adviser gave of the animal certainly describes Shi You Ming.



And the Celestial princess was totally awesome...not really, more like totally useless.



Also, Yao Yao has to be one of the most useless female leads I've seen. *SMH*

Tricks and truths....

I get why Xian Yue wants to protect everyone, but did she completely forget about Mo Yin being Shi You Ming's ally? -_-;



I did love the fight and the way she vanished.



And I just loooved how the Celestial princess totally left them on their own when everything is happening in the place she was supposed to be guarding. I'm glad to see her go anyways, she was an annoying one too and did absolutely nothing besides getting her body stolen...lol

WOW...

That was an amazing episode. I couldn't quit crying...to see the King and Queen on vacation talking about babies and then to quietly die like that. It is so moving and sad. ITA with amrita828 that it is better than any explosion. I am happy that he talked to both Jae Ha and Hang Ah before he died. Now the Jae Shin who is vivacious to be paralized...unreal!!! I am loving this drama!!!

Best ending to an episode so far!

The end of this episode was long time coming. Finally things are starting to tie together. Jin Ho flat out tells Hye Mi that he doesn't like her. Young Seon tries to hook up Director Choi with Jin Ho, but that just felt awkward. Overall the end of this episode was amazing. Hopefully the next episodes will get better and better.

Open your heart

"Open your heart, and try to be free. Then heaven will open up. All the world's problems..." those were the last words the king ever said to his younger brother Jae Ha, and great words they were.

This episode was simply awesome. It had a lot more depth than the other episodes and the character developing was simply genius. I loved when Hang Ah takes a break from training and when she sees him she sighs, like she's glad that he's there. It just felt absolutely real.

Obviously there were many emotional parts in this episode, I didn't know if I should cry or feel happy.

Becoming one..

Yao Yao lent Xian Yue her soul and they become two in one body. Yao Yao talks so much and this sort of drives Xian Yue up the wall. So much, that Xian Yue asks Yao Yao if she's not tired from all the talking she has done...lol

Real World Drama

I like it!! This episode was definitely better than the last. It's a lot more mature than the dramas that I usually watch, so I find that it can be a bit slow at parts, but surprisingly I haven't skipped any parts of the episode. I find the slow parts to be interesting as well. If you're looking for a fast paced drama, I don't think you'll find it here. I honestly love the chemistry between the two leads. It's amazing!

And another gr8 ep from Love rain

This episode, i learnt sooo much!!! I cant believe Dong Wook became a physicist...wow!! Dong Wook's son is 2 die 4 he is adorable!!! OMG, this might get complecated if u think about it. If Yoo Hee(2012) is alive and In Ha(2012) they might fall for each other and Seo Joon and Ha na will be bro and sis if they get married how awkward!!! Never mind, sorry... anyway the ep itself was amazing!! My favourite part...when they went 2 eat 2gether!!That was a good part.. is it just me or does the assistant come between everything eg. the kiss, giving of that ring, the dress etc. LOL reminds me of Chan Bo in heartstrings!! Can't wait till next ep!!!

Wen Tian's new addiction

I thought his reaction to the oxygen tank was hilarious.



I also laughed a lot when she said "We are doomed, we killed a god" Jajajajaja....I remember it and it just makes me laugh.



It was also funny, how his reaction to the fire god taking the tank was like "No!!! He has my new toy!" while hers (who knows what will happen when an oxygen tank is exposed to fire) is like "Crap! Run!!!" Jajajajaja...
