Oh it's getting better! I like Ji Hyun Woo…

Oh it's getting better! I like Ji Hyun Woo much better now! He still doesn't play the role that well, his 'cute' pout was weird. Joo Sang Gook did a better job in Cunning Single Lady of being cute. And the clothes he wears makes me facepalm! I mean he wore a shirt with pictures of pizza slices and coke cans on it! I miss my Kim Boong Do... BUT I really liked his acting in the serious scenes. The expression he shows in his eyes, I could see the love and heartbreak right there. The subtle actions, the slight smile, I think he acts really well in those scenes.

Jung Eun Ji is the best thing about this drama! She is perfect! Her acting is so true and realistic, I can feel all the emotions her character is feeling! I feel sad, angry, nervous, happy, right along with her! I love how instead of defending her father, she is angry at him. She loves him still and cares about him, but she is angry at him for leaving them. It's just so realistic a reaction! Many dramas fail to capture this realness so I am glad that she didn't defend him or start hating him.

I love her little sister and their relationship! She is so cute! But the actor, young as she may be, did a really good job portraying her! I loved that little girl!

I'm really beginning to like Shin Sung Rok! At first I was wary of his character but his character is so funny! His acting is pretty good too so even though his character is ridiculous, it is not overdone. So you can take him seriously. It's hard to play such a character well and Shin Sung Rok is doing a splendid job so far!

In the first episode the camera work and editing were weird and sloppy. I mean, what was up with the spinning? Was it supposed to be funny? It only annoyed me... It was the same in the beginning of this episode but it changed to normal after some time so I am glad.

I like where the story is going though there was some (a lot of) ridiculousness in between. Was the burying scene supposed to be funny? Because I found it absurd! And I'm getting tired of these irresponsible parents! What, in Korea all the poor parents having a hard time due to money and debts run off leaving their children to fend for themselves? It is not at all believable in this drama! I hope they give a good reason...

Even though there was a lot of ridiculousness, I began to enjoy it half-way through the episode. I even found some things funny. So that's better. Oh and I find it amusing that the husband from Secret Love Affair has kinda the same kind of role in this drama. Except now the poor guy doesn't have as much authority as he did before. Maybe because the wife left him. Poor guy ;)

I loved the music! Loved it! The music is really good! The singers have great voices and the songs are good too.

I'm beginning to like this drama. I really like the pace too. I hope they keep getting better like this. So far I have been able to tolerate Ji Hyun Woo's goofy acting but I hope that they either don't give him such scenes or that he gets better at them.
