Wow

The end of this episode is…no words. I don’t know what I feel. Gong Yoo is a great actor. I literally don’t know how much longer I want this to continue, My mind is blown.

Mental gymnastics

Gong Yoo is a really good actor and this episode is hilarious. The mental gymnastics he is going through to trying to understand why he has this feelings is golden, even though I dislike the trope, he is fun to watch.

The Mothers

The start of this episode is hilarious. The mothers immediately try to marry them off, and the way the ML jumped over balcony had me cracking up. At this point in the game I am happily surprised that there are no crazy vengeful exes, or strange family plots. It just a nice slice of life.

Not a bad start

First episode is surprisingly funny. I can’t believe how many shirtless scenes there are…lol. Not complaining.

Why

Decent Episode. I have been rewatching this drama trying to figure out what I rated it so low the first time I watched it. But...I'm positive the FL doesn't learn her lesson when it comes to lying and continues to lie (even about stupid stuff) even after learning what should have a been a huge lesson in this episode. She even monologues that she learned a lesson, but she doesn't learn.

My jaw is on the floor

The acting and directing in the last couple of episodes has been so good I have to remind myself to read the subtitles. I don't think I've FF at all during this drama. In fact, I have probably REW so often to re-read subtitles that I've probably watched every episode twice. I am so focused on the scene I forget I don't understand a word...lol

Lovely Cinematography

This episode has some beautiful scenic shots that make me want to fly to China right now. I've loving the wardrobe and this episode is particularly good. This is the first C-drama where I have hit REW more that FF because I am enjoying watching the drama that I forget to read the subtitles...lol

Decent Parental Interactions

Thank God! The mothers in this drama are sane and loving individuals. Sometimes in C-dramas the mothers are brutal and bear no love for their kids or their grandkids. Bother the FL and ML mothers are decent people. Also, my hats off to the rational portrayal of actual humans. No one has so far made any bizarre or insane choices that a real human would never make. They aren’t forcing the “drama” in this drama. Nice.

Intro of Seconds

So far we were on a swanky cruise ship, now we are in beautiful Paris. Though, what European kid is carrying 50,000 euros? I mean seriously…lol. Though the set up of them actually getting married was well done. And the product placement is enticing. If you were wondering the name of the ship was Costa Venezia.

Good Start

C-dramas can be really hit or miss for me, but the start of this is very good. I like both the ML and FL (she was good in Mr. Honesty) and the production quality is top notch. I like what is on display so far so I am going for the plunge.

Get the tissue…

The first five minutes of this episode had me bawling my eyes out. Jun Ho continues to amaze me. This s a great drama.

Great episode

This is a great episode. I can’t believe that 10 episodes in and this drama is still compelling. Great acting from Jun Ho.

Intriguing Start

I finally was able to start this and the first episode is intriguing. Of course, it deals with Japan’s occupation of Korea, so the subject matter can get heavy. The ending of the 1st episode sets up the next chapter, but with multiple time lines who knows where the story will go next.

Glutton for Punishment

I cannot say why I keep persisting with this drama. It's bad on so many levels, but I think it is because the ML is very, very handsome. That's it. The FL is still TSTL. She's supposed to be stupid because she's clueless, but how clueless can you be. She actually lacks common sense. This seems to be consist trait in Chinese dramas, and it's so frustratingly annoying I may have to stop watching them all together.

Stupid Child

The longer this drama goes on the worse it gets! The FL is beyond stupid. She is seriously TSTL. It's annoying watching her. The ONLY saving grace of this drama is the ML. He has a presence and I am familiar with this work from Ip Man 2. I would have stopped watching this in episode one if he wasn't in this. He doesn't have a lot to do here except stand around and look ho while slapping the shit out of people. That's fine with me, but the FL is just much and she doesn't have two brain cells to rub together for a spark. She seems to be the archetype for FLs in Chinese dramas.
