It's very good, but it's different from the usual cliche rom-drama/coms

Me too....I need something to get my mind off Crash Landing on You....time to start going thru my watchlist and clear things out.

I would have appreciated it if they moved it to more of a 'revenge' drama (slightly) with her getting even with her mom & JD and the media that ruined her life, with PS at her side helping her. But, whatever.

It really depends on the domestic audience and how they are reacting. In this case, I don't think so, since we haven't seen much of a change in the trajectory of the show since the premier episode. They pretty much lost me this weekend since they could have made the show much more enjoyable and interesting.

All they had to do is tell his family they would like him to be MaRi's legal guardian if something happened to them. Upon her marriage, her husband would assume that role. That wouldn't have freaked his family out. PS is not qualified to take over as chairman of a major corporation anyways.

Coming off the 2-week break and ending the amnesia arc for the FL, they really had a chance to turn this series around and save it. The remaining 10 episodes could have covered her reclaiming her life and identity, reconciling with PS, and together having them get revenge on those who wronged them. Plus a little time to take care of MaRi and the chronically under-served Aunt & Older Brother couple.

But they blew this opportunity.

Now we get the FL acting scared and not embracing her love for PS, her horrible mother moving back in with her, the creepy JD acting even creepier, etc. And the cherry on top of this misery-fest is they send the WTOD (in this case a black sedan) after PS and put HIM in the hospital! I've lost count of how many times a character in this show was hospitalized...SIGH.

There's only 10 episodes left. Why not change things up and fix this mess?

They went on "dates" but it wasn't anything special. There is no intimacy of any kind

Interesting, a pretty-much solid supporting cast, especially the elders. Lots of KBS stalwarts from daily and weekend dramas too.

Interesting to see SeungJu from CLOY as the ML. I do like the shorter number of episodes, KBS has proven that their weekenders can't keep up with 50 episodes...the quality of the writing just isn't there anymore. If 'Its Beautiful Now', 'Three Bold Siblings' and 'The Real Has Come' had been trimmed to their 30-36 best eps, they'd have been great.

Fingers crossed...

Ep 39 was a pretty good episode except for BMJ's constant screeching. WTH? Why is this veteran actress overacting so badly? That voice was like nails-on-a-chalkboard to my ears.

Agreed! KBS's weekend dramas drive me crazy: Both '3 Bold Siblings' and "The Real has Come' had little to zero chemistry between the main leads. And here, we have leads with pretty good chemistry (IMO) and they spend almost all their time apart!

EPIC.
That one word summarizes everything about this series. Even after 4 years, it still deserves being in the running for G.O.A.T. of K-dramas. What strikes me the most is almost every episode had an iconic scene that I still want to go back and watch. I know 'Queen of Tears' is nipping on it's heels, and I'll watch that soon, but I need something light and fluffy after this to clear my mind and heart.

Emotionally, it's on a entirely different level.

What's odd is that they actually DID in the last Historical Drama they aired, which was a first for me (this was the weekend prime-time slot). The downside was that they didn't sub it, which makes no sense for the KBS America feed.

Well, FWIW, KBS America had a golden opportunity to sync it's broadcasts of this with the domestic feed, but no....instead they are informing us of a 2 week hiatus during which they are rerunning "Becky's Back" (a 4-part miniseries). So they are committed to keeping the 2 week lag in this series broadcast.

Cuba?

So in the newest trailer released (see above), we see that she gets a "makeover" and gets her hair straightened and she ditches the glasses (contact lenses?). This now matches her appearance as we saw in the running-thru-the-forest sequence at the end of Ep36. So I'm guessing that actual scene (and she regains her memories) will come either at the end of 37, or sometime in 38???

And what's interesting, is that BaiLu makes her MORE likeable than she is in the book.

Thank you for finding this! KBS America last night ran Ep 36, so they are now caught up with the domestic feed (they had been 2 weeks behind, maybe because of the planned Olympic outage?) and this preview was absent from their broadcast last night as well.

Rachel, I'm not sure. I saw it when it was live on KBS years ago. You might try Dramacool(dot)sk. Be sure to use the .sk version as the others are full of bad links. And use Adblocker installed on your browser if you do.

All these years later, I still find myself watching the end of 49 and opening of 50 where she goes in after hours to help him out at work. So many parts of that scene were relatable, especially the way she took off her ID lanyard and wrapped it up to store away. I must have done that 100 times myself.
This was such a good show.
