so far I think so.

Choi Daniel sure was stunningly handsome in those jeans, turtleneck and tweed coat...and black rimmed glasses. Did I forget anything? ;P

Love your article, list and bravery! I had some slight differences where i watched but should have dropped. I'm not a big show-dropper, unless it seriously rubs me wrong though. << I have to work on this though. :P

1. Chicago Typewriter - Couldn't get into story, but still watched to the end, hoping to see more of the dog.
2. Revolutionary Love - Dropped right away
3. While You Were Sleeping - It became very tiring, but I continued to watch for the cute cop
4. The Liar and his Love - Dropped right away
5. Ruler of the Mask - Put on hold because boring, returned later and did eventually finish. Should have dropped.
6. Temp of Love - Had promise but took nosedive in last few eps. Watched to end while pissed off at lead female (and her mother).
7. Hwarang - Couldn't stand Go Ah Ra's character...always crying. She was miscast for this role. Zero chemistry btw either male leads. FFW'd thru her scenes. Wanted to see where the story went with the two male leads, so watched to end.
8. Pretty Li Hui Zhen - Hated the Korean one, wouldn't dare watch this.
9. Suspicious Partner - Watched and enjoyed because I never mind looking at him. LOL
10. Romantic Teacher Doctor Kim - I dont watch doctor shows.

I started watching this because of our 2 male leads: Yeon Woo Jin and Dong Ha. I was feeling like all was right with the world since I was gonna watch a drama with these two talented guys. Seemed like it was going ok, then they introduced like a ton of supporting characters and I got a little dizzy and found myself annoyed. Wasn't sure I even liked the character of the lead female...some of her antics are just plain wrong. I actually considered dropping. BUT, finally around ep 7-8, I know who to focus on in the cast and the story is getting intriguing. There is some romance brewing in here too. There's already been one plot twist, and i think we are headed for another eminently. And so.... I'm in!

wow, thanks for this excellent reference guide! Also, since Honey, I'm Sorry isn't in MDL yet, i just submitted it as a title.

exactly. if someone did that to me to force some kind of emotional breakthru...or better said...an emoting breakthru, i would have been insulted and found it hard to continue in that relationship.

i too am glad they extended Black. I am really into it right now...its got a certain level of excitement i didn't anticipate. i finished up BTIMFL tonite. It fell downhill a bit in the last few eps due to some writer feeling like they wanted to express a lot of prose more than compellingly wrap up the storyline. Am starting 2 Cops right now. Fingers crossed. Ep 1 is intriguing.

although it was predictable, i am glad it ended with happy endings for all. I think the storylines spiraled out of control in last few eps for 2 of the couples. A lot of self-generated angst for nothing. I actually liked the CEO and lawyer couple the most in the end as their relationship felt the most natural. I'm still processing my final rating. It will be a little higher than yours but not by much. On to the next drama!

ep14: i sure didn't anticipate that I'd be an emotional wreck in these last 2 eps. The acting is just superb. Well except for Go Ah Ra. < combo of writers and her skills :( Bye.

i do agree that this show needed a couple more ep, but its inexcusable that they wasted our time with ep 15. They may as well have had her go to study abroad for two years and then get back together like every other kdrama. I really like the show but was disappointed this week. My detailed comments are under the show.

@drama123 let me know if u want to know how it ended. I actually liked the show until it drifted into nowhere-land in this last ep. I'll be watching tonite.

LOL

didn't understand half of what she was talking about during most of this ep, I know it was supposed to be some profound prose on love and marriage, but i felt like it was one writer just carrying on endlessly.

I don't think it was right to involve the parents immediately. they should have had a separation period without all their involvement. My 2 cents. And that convo with his mom...she was pretty ballsy talking about how he was hurt by them. I think out of line and weird that she'd go there at this stage. I almost thought the mom was gonna slap her and I'd have understood where she was coming from! LOL

If you ask me, he's been the one making the moves...taking the steps to bring them closer and she's been responsive...i am not sure what she was looking for but it looked like it was heading rapidly in the right direction until she put the halt on sleeping together.

Bottom line is some open line of communication between them needs to happen and not in the form of a bunch of rhetorical questions or statements.

ep 15:

ep 14: I sure didn't anticipate that I'd be an emotional wreck in these last 2 eps. The acting is just superb. Bye.

u kidding? LOL (they added two eps because its being so well-received)

update: no password needed now.

I just watched ep 12 and my response to the ending is WHAT????? I hope there's a season two or a surprise ep 13.
