Ok but the sister and brother-in-laws are such cuties.
It's giving me Jane Austen's "Emma" vibes (Emma's older sister marries Knightley's younger brother, so Emma and Knightley have this close, banter-y brother sister vibe that's also really cute. lt reminds of these leads' relationship!).
That STARE from Yi Yeong can make any guy fall for her, she should wear sunglasses for sake of all guys' safety.
She's darling, and SUCH a good actress. Not only is she beautiful, though, her mannerisms are just so cute. I've loved her since Law School (she stood out even in that support role!).
lol why be basic med drama?OBGYN deserves to be represented for once,they are werry underrated
You can tell they're trying really hard to influence the birth rate. It feels a bit propoganda-y and agenda-y, but they're honestly smart to put it in media since a large population of Kdrama watchers are child-bearing aged women. 😅 And does media does influence people!
I've never seen Jong Suk in a costume drama of any kind--is this a first for him? I've wondered if maybe he had an aversion to acting in hanboks or something. 😅
That shouty episode really annoyed me a lot. I too was starting to find the drama a little bit of a chore around…
Is this as melancholy as My Mister? I thought it was very well done, and beautifully acted, but it was a bit too... somber? I just thought it was so bleak and heavy; I would never rewatch it. 😅
Well, popular dramas with high ratings tend to give people expectations. I would just recommend that you keep the genre in mind, and realize that not all highly rated dramas will be loved by everyone (because taste differs).
That said, the fact that you started off by labeling this an "overhyped" drama might already provide the answer you're looking for, especially if you have a phobia of them. 😉
I'd say if, in the past, you have liked fluffy, cozy rom-coms with what many critics call "cringey" (silly, at times over dramatic) humor, romances about fated lovers that are darling and sweet but would never happen in reality, have enjoyed the FL actress in other dramas (like Extraordinary You, her acting here is similar), enjoy dramas/plots/filming like True Beauty, Extraordinary You, and somewhat nostalgic dramas for an older Kdrama time period, and don't demand a 100% plot-hole-proof script (nor are you crazy against serial murderer/kidnappers showing up in your romance drama to move the plot forward), then you have a pretty good chance of enjoying this. :) I thought the leads were adorable and the chemistry was very good. It's a very warm, whole-hearted drama, and pure fantasy.
On a rewatch, and I just realized Shin Hye Seon is in this! I watched this the first time before I knew who she was. 😅 I also just noticed this time around that some of them use their real names. Why is that? So random and strange (also, apart from the main two boys, Young Woo and Lee Kang Joo are my favorite--gems!)
This drama is somehow so lovable despite the most implausible school scenarios ever. I think it's because the spirit of the thing is right, but the mechanics are all wrong. 😅
And the lead high schoolers are like lost puppies, so you can't help but love them! While I really like that this drama tries to show WHY kids act out the way they do, at the same time, I still think it gives them too much credit. All of these kids are, deep down, sweet, or at most, well-meaning. They truly want good things, while some kids in real life don't. Sure, they yearn for love and care like all humans, but that doesn't mean they're all little angels deep down inside (which is what this drama seems espouse). It's idealistic to me, but I can enjoy it as school fantasy. 😉
It's a happy ending, but the implied relationship is very quick and literally the last scene; there's a kiss,…
Well, the writing, plausibility and plot is a bit of a stretch and not the best, but the acting is good and the characters are lovable. It's not terrible, and the story is pretty snappy so it doesn't feel like a slog. It's sweet, but by no means a masterpiece (or realistic). 😉
It's a happy ending, but the implied relationship is very quick and literally the last scene; there's a kiss, but it's a second of contact and then the camera pans out. 😋
Hae Seong finds the gold in the floorboards of his attic after the chairwoman gets locked up for murder and everyone is convinced the gold is gone--his dad did find it after all!
Lee Jong Suk as a lawyer again--it's been so long!
