She rarely plays characters in k-dramas for whom romance (and kissing) is that important. In this one, she's actively uninterested in having a relationship and the ML has to work his dimples really hard to get her to look at him even. She made one k-drama that is a rom-com, The Time When We were Not in Love, and she aces it, so maybe watch that. Secret Forest is her comeback after a 3-year break during which she was recovering from the sudden death of her father and her younger brother's suicide, and it took several episodes before she got into her role. Her movie, Love So Divine is a sexy, hilarious rom-com which you might enjoy. As you can see, I'm a major Ha Ji-won fan.

Excellent from beginning to end, although the 2nd season never happened.

Yang Zi is one hell of an actress!

I see. Thank you. If I were a c-drama producer I'd definitely think twice before making one with vampires.

Thank you. Considering the amount of uncensored blood that's spilled in historical c-dramas, the fangs must hold great significance.

HSH was very good as the 2nd FL in The World of the Married, which had a really great script. But I've dropped two other dramas in which she was the FL. I think, for me, it isn't so much her acting as her choice of dramas. Soppy, depressing romance and extreme violence and sadism just don't appeal to me. Nevertheless, I like the idea of 2 FLs, so I'll give her new drama a chance.

Does anyone know why the Chinese government censored certain scenes? Grateful for any info.

Best historical c-drama I've watched to date. Wu Jin-yan really knows how to pick 'em, and she's utterly mesmerizing in this one, helped by her best ML to date. The chemistry between those two is unsurpassed. The ending left room for a second season, and I hope it happens. Love the camera work; love the actors facing the camera in close-ups; love the slightly over-the-top, stylized acting and directing. Because I like historical dramas that make me think that I'm watching something that happened a very, very long time ago. Just my opinion.

SBS knew this would happen because of the Olympics. Perhaps they're thinking that this is the series that could hook enough serious viewers that when the series starts up again in a couple of weeks they'll tune in to find out what happens.

Good point.

Viewers who are looking for a "realistic perspective" will love it.

They cast Jang Nara in the role for a reason. By the end of the series it won't just be Nara fans sympathizing with her.

That's all true. And the mom should learn her lesson from this. But we shouldn't forget that the husband is the cheater and his mistress has an agenda. They're ganging up on the mom so they can get alimony from her by accusing HER of cheating. Anyone else pissed off about that?

This is a beautifully written and acted drama for adults. It taught me a lot about the Korean educational system and how the "academy" business is just as competitive and cut throat as any other business. 10/10

I agree. But maybe they thought once audiences were hooked they'd remember to come back to it in 3 weeks. Even so, I think the stars will have to go on social media to woo audiences back.

Sorry. I feel sorry for the cast. They put so much effort into promoting the drama, and now they'll have to get viewers to watch it again after a 3-week break and competition from new dramas. SBS should issue a public apology to the Good Partners creative team and to fans of the drama for their terrible program planning.

Sorry. Apparently SBS HASN'T come to their senses. After ep. 5 a 20-day wait for ep. 6.

Nara said on Instagram that the next episode is on tonight at 10 p.m. after the Olympics. SBS probably received a lot of complaints.
