After 10 episodes it’s time to say goodbye. It had a good start with real potential and there are some good characters. It just seems to be going nowhere fast.

Ep 13 - amazing. Tearful, but in a good way

I think it’s a keeper already!

Eight episodes down and it hasn’t let up. Just when you think they have forgotten somebody they come back in to focus. Mesmerising.

This is brilliant. Thank you for providing the link.

It’s really nice to see you here too! Chang’an reminds me of those classic epic Chinese films that also take the time to focus on the characters. It is just such a clever show. The visuals and the lighting are something else. The inside scenes in the warehouses and the shops seem so real. It is going to be a hard act to follow :)

Some great observations. I think we are in for some further surprises.

What an awesome and gritty start. Some great acting already and a story that hints at interwoven and complex history between the characters. Multi-faceted characters such as these always make a drama interesting!

It does seem that way. Unfortunately, he has to make these choices because he is in the world of politics (aka Game of Thrones) and is beginning to lose his grip as a master player in this realm. It happens even to the best political movers and shakers and is known as “failing to see the wood (forest) for the trees” (there are many well documented cases out there re this political phenomenon).

Plan B for him would be to actually listen to KSY and step back or actually resign and rise from the ashes at a later date. Not many people are wise enough to do this though. His resurrection in this instance would make Chief of Staff even more compelling.

What you are seeing play out is the impact of his dream falling apart and the pressure this can put on someone when this happens. You start to make silly mistakes, make the wrong calls and even lose sight of what is important. It’s very realistic in this regard.

Ep 33 - has one of the funniest scenes I have ever scene and all done to Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You

What an awesome, quality drama! As others have said: it is like watching an epic film. The attention to detail is second to none. The characterisations are so well done and the leads are playing that wonderful grizzled cynic vs the youthful idealist perfectly.

Sadly, for me, eps 8 & 9 were a huge disappointment. Where has my wonderful, different and thought provoking show about these amazing women gone?

The scenes in Dr Baek’s apartment where they are all eating chicken - it’s so well done and so very funny.

Not directly. Sally, has her eyes set on Baek and Eun Sol finds that a bit intimidating - it’s handled quite well.

Brilliant, beautiful, touching and thought provoking. The acting - marvellous.

A quarter of the way through and we continue to have a very good show. Eun Ji (the grand daughter) is stealing the show with her crush on Dong Joo. Song Ah and Dong Joo are a great pairing as well. You have to admire Eun Suk’s determination and it’s good to see the grandfather playing a nice guy for once.

What I really liked about ep 11 was the use of younger adult actors to depict our lead couple in the flashbacks and not them trying to act as their younger selves. Also, the family bonding was simply beautiful.

Yes, there are and they are quite good. A decent amount of time is devoted to them as well.

I thought the first episode was very good. In fact, I enjoyed it slightly more than the original version’s first episode. The scene setting was interesting - done in a way to show that not all is fair in “love and war”. If 60 Days continues in this vein, then we will have a classy political thriller on our hands.
