Awww! So cute! Did you get your whole family into dramas? I own KSS so I always try to get people to watch with me. D has seen a lot by default but he hasn't sat down with me and watched all the way through since Chuno.

the rest of my family is sort of "meh" they will occasionally humor me. my nephew has this thing where if there is something moving on a screen he HAS to watch it, so i was watching dramas one day and he sat down to watch with me and i got him hooked. the funny part is he's really into guns and zombies and stuff like that so you wouldnt think asian romantic comdey would be his thing, but he loves it. i got my BIL to watch hong gil dong.

I'm through 4 episodes and I'm really enjoying it. I love the show, but I don't understand the obsession with "Over the Rainbow." There are other beautiful songs out there than just that one. (I probably made a lot of enemies with that statement, lol.) I like the chemistry and the characters.

That's funny... I guess she's such a familiar face to me in Kdrama land, I always think she looks like herself. Whether she is plain jane Kim Sam Soon or smokey eyed Ji An.

yea, even when she was super skinny in scent of a woman she still looked like her. i think she has such a unique look to her.

personally the 1st 2 episodes for me are just not that great, they are the price you have to pay for the great episodes that come later. :P

i wasnt told Daniel Henney is in this! omo hotness overload !!!

He is an American doctor of Korean descent and doesn't profess to know the language. I really liked Henry. And Kim Sam Soon's interactions with him and their language barrier was really funny stuff. I loved their scenes together.

Yeah, his acting is fine. I thought he played his character well.

Those scenes were so funny! Especially the one in the hotel.
