I am glad I picked up on this drama. I am loving it so far. But I really have to post on what's been boggling…
I'll say this: Myung Hoon is not "sucking up" to Hye Jung after she becomes a doctor in his hospital. Rather, he's just flirting with an attractive young doctor. That's all it is to him, because he simply does not remember her after 13 years.
And I have to say, Arielle is completely right about Seo Woo and her entire family: they SUCK! Seo Woo, especially, is an impressive kind of horrible, but at least she's not a murderer like her dad. That guy has malpractice cover-up written ALL over him.
so far everything in this drama was so good, not a boring scene, but I wonder if there is some one like me who…
Agree with Arielle and Shini. you try being in love with someone for 13 years and then "respect boundaries" when you finally see them again. I'd do the same thing he did: "Hello again, ARE YOU SINGLE!?"
Tae Hee and Sara were super cute together - like adorably cute. Anyone get distracted by the elf ears on the husband…
Oh my goodness, I was just complaining to my wife about that guy's ears yesterday. And I was about to comment that JSW and HYS have insane chemistry together, but you stole that comment, too. Seriously, they might have more chemistry between the two of them than almost any other couple I have seen in kdrama, and I've only seen 4 episodes.
Very nice review, though I must disagree on your POV on the second half of the story, hehe. It's been a while…
I docked the Music a whole point just for "IT'S ALL RIIIIGHT!" *laughs*
Worst song in any drama, ever.
I'll reiterate, though, that I actually really enjoyed City Hunter. I do recommend you rewatch it, though, because they seriously just lost the plot toward the back half and latter third of the show. I'd love to get your perspective on the ending, too. Or rather, the complete lack of an ending, since they didn't really wrap anything up. It's like "Rising action... rising action... rising action... CLIMAX!!! ... Lee Min Ho drives away alone in a car at night the end"
Well, I finished up Baby-Faced Beauty last night and gave it an 8/10. It was seriously hilarious and a fun watch, despite a lot of the complaints you see here in the comments being 100% true. You must believe the Jang Na Ra and Daniel Choi hype.
Check out my full review if you want a more detailed breakdown.
I love this part of the synopsis: "They exchange messages without knowing each other’s faces, and are drawn to each other before they realise it."
I feel like we should add to the end: "Also, they just so happen to be incredibly attractive! What a happy coincidence for them both!"
So, I ended up giving this an 8/10. It was a 9 for the first half, but the second half pacing is really bad and…
Uh.... well, I haven't seen TMTETS, but I can tell you that both Tree With Deep Roots and The Princess' Man are full of "evil plotting at court", for sure. Tons of it. Constantly. *laughs*
TWDR is not nearly as bad as Princess' Man in that regard, but it has next to no romance and is also sadder than TPM. TPM has pretty darn good romance, but is definitely very melo and horrible and full of evilness.
So I don't know if I can recommend either of them. :P
So, I'm up to Episode 7 and this drama is freakin' hilarious. Why didn't anyone tell me how funny this show is?
For real. I'm on 15 and not tired of it at all. It's just so fun and funny. But I have to admit that I can see why people are complaining about how awful and scheming a lot of the characters are. Sometimes it feels like the whole world outside of Daniel Choi's character just hates Lee So Young and wants to ruin her life and nobody does anything about it.
But overall, Jang Na Ra has made me care SO MUCH about her character that I just hang on every episode waiting for anything good to happen. :D
But Kim Young Kwang is no slouch, himself.
Ji Hong: "Did you get married?"
Hye Jung: "....no."
J: "You have a boyrfriend, then?"
H: "Uh... no."
J: "Okay then." *walks away smiling*
Loved it! All drama characters need to be that honest and straightforward.
And I have to say, Arielle is completely right about Seo Woo and her entire family: they SUCK! Seo Woo, especially, is an impressive kind of horrible, but at least she's not a murderer like her dad. That guy has malpractice cover-up written ALL over him.

Ridiculous. :P

Whatever, I'll still watch it. :P

Have you seen Tree With Deep Roots?
