I agree with you except where a person's opinion leads them to dislike this drama. In that one instance, an opinion can be wrong and can actually turn an otherwise good and decent person into a horrible, evil monster. Glad that won't happen to you.

Well said! This is one of only two dramas I have given the Perfect 10 rating to, so I agree with you all the way around.
One of the good things about being new to drama: "clichés" don't bother me! And especially if they're as well-executed as they are here.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anything in any television show ever that was as touching and sweet as Lee Gun pretending to be a female fan of Mi Young's art and talking through her thoughts/problems/feelings with her. Those scenes are the best scenes I have seen in any drama.

I see you are nearing the end. Any complaints? ;)

You are clearly a person of exceptional intelligence and refined taste.

I've never seen Miss Gu in anything else, but I didn't really have an issue with her acting here. I even liked some of it. What I didn't like was the way she was written towards the latter third of the show.

LOL!
I kinda liked it when he would randomly say stuff in English, though. It was always comical, hearing a random "Oh my god!" or somesuch thrown in among the Korean dialogue. He was obviously coached well on how to sound "natural", but... of course no actor is going to sound like a native English speaker (like Teddy was supposed to be).

Never cared about Jeremy's feelings the entire time until the scene where he sang "A Really Good Word" while crying. Best acting in the entirety of the show. I went from not caring to crying in the span of 60 seconds.

Oh, ok. Yeah, if you skip over Soo Wan's wildly out-of-character pity party scenes, then the show is tolerable and interesting. Kang Ji Woon was a character criminally underutilized.

On a scale of 1 to 10: how violent is this drama? Meaning, how bloody and/or gory is it? I know there are going to be fight scenes, but are they gratuitous?

My niece asked my wife and I to watch this with her a few months ago. We enjoyed it so much we started looking for other kdramas and now we're hooked! I wonder how many people got pulled into drama through this show?

Mine too. ;)

But it looks like you've completed WAY more dramas than me since watching this.

How could your heart not be totally moved by the tenderness between Lee Gun and Kim Mi Young? ARE YOU SOME KIND OF ROBOT!?

Perhaps your heart should not be so silent...

Seriously, what was so bad about the last two episodes? I thought they were good and very entertaining.

You really should give this one a chance.

Just so you know, the Prime Minister didn't actually die, he's alive at the end of the show. (he said, one year after you commented)

Whoa, 7.5. That's lower than you gave Angel Eyes, which was a pretty badly written drama. I guess you really hated the ending? Why?

There's a logical reason why everyone ships Hoon x Soo Hyun: they're the ones that actually seem happy being around each other. This show doesn't do a very good job of making the love between Hoon and Jae Hee feel "real" to the audience. It's really the show's only weakness.

I see you have yet to give this one a shot (I stalked your list a little). I'd recommend it. For me, the first two episodes were the worst part of the show, but after that it got better and better. Gave it a 9.5.

I see you gave it a 10! Nice, glad you liked it! This is a very underrated drama.

I feel you. I posted my thoughts on this elsewhere, but I'll paste them below:

((Yeah, i completed this finally and I'm with you all the way. But I think I figured out why we don't like Jae Hee...

In a romance, we want to see people being happy together. Park Hoon and Oh Soo Hyun flirt and joke and enjoy being around each other. When that happens, WE SHIP! On the other hand, Hoon and Jae Hee are NEVER happy together! You see them happy together for like 10 minutes of show, and then you spend the next 19 hours not trusting or believing anything they say to each other. And they always seem sad and miserable together.
So when you've got Soo Hyun right there who is so beautiful and caring and doesn't have any of the heavy baggage that Jae Hee brings, you start to think "Man, Park Hoon should really just spend his time with her and be happy."

I think that's where the show did a bad job: they failed to make us appreciate the context of Hoon and Jae Hee's love. They're just like "They're childhood sweethearts and that should be enough for you!" But it's not enough. And unfortunately for the showrunners, Lee Jong Suk and Kang Sora happened to have quite a lot of chemistry together.
I DO think they did a good job of bringing the audience "into" the Hoon/Jae Hee relationship by the end, though. But that was too-little-too-late, I think.))

But I gave this show a 9.5. It was awesome.
