On another note: I have watched a lot of dramas with amazing female leads or side-characters. I think maybe you have to look for more mature dramas, rather than listing teen flicks like 'Heirs' or 'boys over flowers'. Trust me, I drop those kinda dramas with pointless cliché leads faster than a hot potato. I recommend you (besides It's ok that's love), Yong Pal, Good Doctor, I remember you, Age of Youth, Oh my Venus, Another Miss Oh...
Hands down my favourite female character is also from my favourite drama ever, Ji Hye Soo in 'It's okay, that's love.' She's successful, witty, confident and doesn't take shit from anyone. But still warm-hearted and supportive, a fantastic friend and drinking buddy and let's not forget how important a female lead is that doesn't get protected the entire time, but also does some protecting for a change. Hae Soo and Jae Yeol are such a perfect match in their imperfection, that it almost hurts. I could not recommend this drama more!
I want to watch it, but I really disliked 'You're beautiful' because it was too cheesy and cliché and had so many unbelievable moments and bad acting, so.... do you think I'd like Cinderella and the Four Knights?
I just watched episode 5, and I just had to come here and say: THIS DRAMA IS FANTASTIC. GO WATCH IT. NOW. Ahhhhh, seriously, I had little expectations when I started this, but I am loving it to pieces. I get a little bit the vibe of my favorite Anime NANA. The writing is amazing, there are some parts that crack me up like there's no tomorrow and then the next moment it turns serious and really heartfelt. It's such a nice slice of life drama, and really realistic, too. I can identify so well with all the characters and the living situation... I'm sad there are only 12 episodes, but I am sure I'll enjoy the rest of the ride just as much!
Hmmmmmmmm..... what to say? I really, really loved the beginning of this drama. Ahn Dan Tae just has got to be one of the most awesome characters, so much love for him! But I was a bit disappointed that he seemed to lose a bit of his badass kick as the story progressed, and it was the typical 'Amazing beginning - draggy middle - anticlimactic ending' process we are unfortunately seeing in too many K-dramas. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the show, but the final episodes were filled with too many clichés and could have been so much better.
So my rating for this show dropped from a 9 to 7.5.
I still recommend it, as it is really light-hearted and funny and sometimes there is actually suspense as well.
She looks so much like Jung Eun Ji! I hope they get to star in a drama as sisters or something, that would be too funny haha. I love Min Ah in Gong Shim, she's doing such a great job at acting, especially as an idol...
This was a really good drama. The writing in this show was superb. I loved all the characters in the gang and the comedy was to die for! Personally I think it would have been interesting to get to know more about the characters' personal histories and there was no closure to Jeong Do and Sung Hee story either. I felt like the final episodes were a bit too over the place, but all in all solid ending. When Jung Do called Sung Il 'hyung' for the first and last time, it brought a little tear into my eyes haha ai ai, We need a season 2! 8/10
Overall, I definitely enjoyed the first half of the drama much more than the second. The side-character plots were really dull and could have been fleshed out much more (some of the actors were also pretty bad (Arthur-sensei, could you sound any more fake?), a lot of situations were over the top or didnt make sense). While I loved the main couple, there weren't many scenes that made me feel actual chemistry between them. Yet again I am reminded how much better Korean dramas are (production wise) from japanese ones. Sorry to say, but this had wasted potential. Maybe it's because the manga is already somewhat bland, I don't know...
Either way, it did have enjoyable and funny bits that made me laugh out loud, I just loved Takane-kun <3 6.5/10
It started well but then it lost intensity and then dragged for too long. There wasn't much story to make 16 episodes…
I think everyone has a different opinion what leaves a mark on their heart. Depending on where they are standing right now in life, on things that happened in their past, their scars and fears.... I personally found this drama very touching and it left a deep impression on me. Despite the plot being simple, it was heartfelt and I thought the dialogues and narratives were memorable.
None of the leading actresses in this drama can cry. They sound so fake. ESPECIALLY Yoon Jin Yi, urgh. I cringed every time. At some point I even had to mute the sound... =.=''
I totally agree! The first two episodes had me hooked, but I had to drop it at episode 6 because it became so boring. I usually don't mind corporate plottings and such, as long as it doesn't take over the main plot. Which, in this case, unfortunately it sort of did. At some point I was wondering what I was even watching... Such a waste of potential for this drama :(
I usually leave really long comments when I've enjoyed a drama as much as I did Another Miss Oh, but this time i'll keep it short. I just truly loved it! The friendship and family bonds in this drama are beautiful beyond words. All the characters are so original and have that certain spark that many other dramas miss. I thought it was going to be very sad, but even though it was truly sad at times, the next scene would make you laugh tears. They managed to keep that balance fairly well, and I am so sorry to let this show go.I agree that the pacing of the story is not the dramas strongest point, but personally I enjoy dramas with a slow-developing plot but three-dimensional characters, great acting, heartfelt moments, comedy and sadness, much more than if it was the other way around. I am sure i'll rewatch it many times in the future!
9/10
I really loved the drama as well! You're right that the extension wasn't needed, but I am somewhat happy because we got some more closure due to it (and a loooot of sappiness :D). About Do Kyung's visions: They did explain them properly, though. I suppose it is somewhat hard to grasp, because the therapists simply laid out some theories about near-death experiences and time that doesn't follow the 'made-up' laws of past/present/future etc. I suppose if you were to explain their theory simply, it would mean that our mind is all-knowing about our destiny/what happens in our lives, and is not bound to time in any way. The only thing that is bound by time, is our body. So their theory is that the moment Do Kyung's body is hovering between life and death, his mind recalls the person he wishes to see the most, and the person he wishes he could have loved instead of doing wrong to her. However, as time doesn't follow any rules, he sees those memories/images even BEFORE he gets into the accident, as random visions. I don't know if I explained that properly, but I think this is what they said in the drama.
I tried watching it, but dropped it after Episode 2. I usually don't drop before episode 4, but for some reason, it just felt wrong. I couldn't get to like the main actor, I hated how he threw himself on the leading girl, even when she rejected him several times. If a guy was that persistent, I'd be seriously creeped out. I also think the writing and directing is somewhat poor. So many things aren't explained properly, while others are shared too openly. Why did they have to unveil the past between Jae Hee and Jung Woo already in the second episode in that cringeworthy memory montage? Feeding tiny bits of information and flashbacks here and there keeps the viewer so much more invested and interested.
Anyway, dropping this for now, might come back to this if i'm ever really bored.
On a different note, the main actor looks like an Asian Tom Cruise xDDDDD Maybe that's why I can't like him lol
5/10. I regret watching this drama :O!! I don't know why I hated it. Well, I hated the ending for sure. it didn't…
Too bad you two didn't like it. Funny how tastes can differ so much. I've watched it two times within only a couple of months and I cannot get tired of it. I love (almost) everything about it.
So my rating for this show dropped from a 9 to 7.5.
I still recommend it, as it is really light-hearted and funny and sometimes there is actually suspense as well.
