Can anyone tell me if this Drama has the same quality as Empress Ki (as in awesome plot twists, logical thinking,…
This drama is way beyond Empress Ki. From every single aspect better and much more glorious except that here you don't have much romance actually but that little amount you do it's so subtle and great.
I've read somewhere that Byun Yo Han disliked the ending of R88 and it was so cool and funny cause they are best buddies ;), and currently my fav. people, one as JH and the other one as Dang Sae. ♥
A solid 8. Some parts should've been thought more over. There were so many plot holes and the writer has definitely…
I think I'm gonna give the same rating. So far this is the best comment i've seen and agree totally with you, you just summed all up and said everything. ;)
I'll be fan of RYJ forever since that guy honestly stole the show for me together with DR. ;)
This is what bothers me the most, they made it really so makjang and in typical Korean style. I expected more seriously cause until episode 18 it was the best family drama, still is from family aspect but romance ruined for real my rating.
It's not some suspense, thriller, mystery drama when you have twists till the end, this should be easy relaxing family drama and they fucked it up with that useless husband hunt.
If Taek is the one and he is, they should make that from the beginning, with more screentime than JH, with more showing his personality to us and interactions so that we could spontaneously and logically fall for him, without giving us that much JH's screen time, his thoughts, his narrations, his feelings and hints that he's the one. I think this was very rushed and unfair.
And honestly my love is JH but I wanted to see her feelings, how it all progressed till now that she loves Taek, simply it's not deep, more like childish non sexual love, I still don't see passion, sexual tension and chemistry, they are just adorable- to us, When two peope are in love with each other and when they want to be together they are towards each other everything except adorable,there should be passion, lust, mutual natural interactions and honestly I simply didn't see that. Not even with JH, still they looked more like a couple to me. And I felt more like Sun-woo and Bo-ra were the main couple.
No matter what I'll wait till the end and in terms of family and friendships this is one the best drama I have ever seen, I'll never forget the best Korean family Ever-the Kim's, funny and most interesting DR, smart and emotional Bo-ra and wonderful Mr.Choi, I got attached to those characters so much. ♥
And what's with preview? They didn't show JH and DS together not even once? Come on, at least let us have one great moment between them when she finds out about his true feelings and they talk over it. And for us JH's fans give us happy ending for him. ♥
I can't wait for the subs, that scene when they all dance=so priceless, this is the best family drama. And JH's family is the best and most interesting of them all. ♥♥♥
I know, I cried right now. :(((((( JH why, he is the one, I don't get this, no way. :((((((
Taek is endgame. We have to accept that. Right now I can't and I'm gonna die. Maybe later I'll be able to live. Why did they show JH this much in this drama and all those sparkles between them. It really looked like they love each other. ♥♥♥♥
I'm gonna sob now, it seems that kiss was real between DS and Taek since in episode 19 husband and she talk about first kiss and he said it was 1994 but she says differently, so it's possible that kiss was real and that he's the one. :(((((((
With certainty I dare to say this will become my all time favourite drama beside Nirvana on Fire. Without one single flaw and I'll surely write one long review after drama finishes but one thing I'll say is that I think I won't be watching these actors in their next projects for quite some time cause they ARE REAL and they are all characters they play, every one of them. Those historical and fictional characters will live forever inside these actors which I have never seen in my life. Not in this way.
Dang Sae and Bang-won are my favourite creatures. <3
I feel every second of this drama, its huge effect on me, that deepness, obsession and love for a lifetime. I am thankful to those people who made this drama come to life. <3
Bang-won is too intelligent and honestly at this point I understand his reactions, I too wouldn't agree about some of the Teacher's decisions. I know he according to history becomes tyrant but at that time it was the only way to survive and he was a good king. Of course not that I approve what he did but it was a fight where the winner was who first does those things. And he was the bravest and smartest one. Yes, also a villain.
Anyway I can't hate him here cause I love too much Ah-in but I like this, a true anti-hero to be a main character. Just look at his eyes, his expressions, his state of shock and his devilish smile, Yoo Ah-in is so so brilliant. ♥♥♥
They have to show at least one kiss shared between JH and DS, like in Reply 1994, if he's not the one in the end. And if he is then they showed between her and Taek and satisfied the viewers and all in team Taek. :P
I'm ultimate team JH since the beginning and he's the one in the end, DS's lovely hubby. He has to be. I just don't see the other way around. ♥
But most important is that this is my first Korean drama I actually didn't skip a thing and loved every second of it. Beside Reply series I've never watched some Korean family drama simply cause I really don't like makjang and so much annoyance especially those of 50 episodes. ;)
But this drama is on totally different level, so simple yet extraordinary, so light and relaxing yet always full of excitement and constantly being on the edge with nerves, so wonderful and full of happiness yet that JH's confession literally broke my heart and in the end a romance one but filled with families and friends and importance of real life treasures. ♥
JH and Bo-ra are actually very similar. They both hide their true feelings and being all tough and strong cause they're actually scared. Scared of being rejected, scared of not being strong, always putting others in front of themselves, when you look deep and closely they are the most emotional and vulnerable ones. And I understand them completely. And I love them so much, I really wish for them to find their happiness and JH be the one, I don't see how it's possible the other way around. ♥♥♥

Why? :( My heart stopped and died. Literally.
My dearest JH. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
He is the best of the best and still for me the only one for DS. ♥♥♥

You described him perfectly, exactly what I feel and think.

Preview for episode 19. I'm gonna die literally. ;)
