If you get the chance, or have the time, take a look at The Story of Ming Lan. I know it’s a Chinese drama, but it is breathtaking in the detail regarding the female characters and the parts they play and the ongoing detailed discussions they have regarding living in a man’s world. It’s great writing, very clever story telling and one for the quality slow drama movement.

What is amazing re PSH is her commitment to Alhambra - learning to play one of the most difficult classical guitar pieces, ensuring her Spanish was accurate and reading as many tourism books about Alhambra itself. Professional through and through.

Episode 28 - not a dry eye in the house

Yes, that’s right. It’s fantastic that they can do such a wonderful show together.

Well, I like a variety of dramas. So, Manpuku (very uplifting), Memories of the Alhambra (wonderful and mysterious), Fates and Furies (captivating), Gangnam Scandal (A surprise packet - truly delightful and funny), Harrassment Game (workplace rules vs commonsense), The Story of Ming Lan (Absolutely Brilliant - fabulous acting, great dialogue and the attention to cultural detail unrivalled). A little gem re Emily’s 5 Things (Message of fate in a bottle) and Clean With Passion For Now (It’s like watching a bear take on Tinkerbell - lol).

They just seem so natural together. Wonderful acting all round.

Yes :)

Eps 23 & 24 are brilliant story telling. A combination of Minglan cleverness and Second Uncle Gu heroics

For me, it’s time to say goodbye after 29 episodes. There is nothing wrong with the acting, in fact it is very good with so many fabulous performances. There are some great moments and initially it was a makjang that was a cut above many others. It drew me back in week after week with its clever cliff hangars. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there are many other dramas I am enjoying much more. I hope Sunny makes it :)

Wow, eps 31, 32, 33 are comedy gold. Mi Ri almost steals the show!

Yes, I think ep 21 took the story to a whole new level.

I have just finished episode 20 and I can honestly say you will enjoy this drama more and more as each episode passes :)

Just reading your comments brings a smile to my face! Eun So Yoo is a wonderful character and our male lead is growing up very quickly :)

Episode 18 was just the best - first class!

Her staying was just the best moment and a key, pivotal part of the story. He also knew that he needed her to say “I believe you” - it didn’t really matter what the situation was. As for dropping the umbrella a great symbolic use of we are in this together. Well done to the writers.

Yes, his character is very much like an onion and so I like how we see each layer unfold as the story progresses.

It was a great piece of acting!

I think it’s a wonderful show and that it is something that you do savour. Go the slow, quality, drama movement :)

Yes :)

Not a bad movie overall. It is both heroic and brutal at times, with a strong message.

It’s a difficult genre to find and recommend. However, I think you might enjoy My Mister (Ahjussi) and Stranger. Both shows, although very different to one another, are gripping television with amazing acting on display. In My Mister you have a story of two souls who are tormented by those who are trying to control/destroy their lives and in Stranger you have a male lead who doesn’t fit in, but slowly gathers support around him.
