Rumors say that Robert Louis Stevenson's bones are quivering in fear and it's said that brave doses of laughter echo at night at his cemetery.

And this week Hyde, Jekyll, Me's ratings were even worse. Kill Me, Heal Me due to its brilliant acting and intriguing storyline, especially because of Ji Sung's stellar interpretation and Jung Eum's love it or hate it character as Ri Jin, is bound to win over any other drama that will come its way on Wednesdays-Thursdays. Accusing a drama of plagiarism over such a generic matter is like chickens accusing turkeys for taking their place on the table during Xmas. With the same logic, a person with two personalities, if he fell in love for someone with both of his personalities then he can sue the webtoon writer for using his life to earn money. Jekyll and Hyde isn't even original in the first place as a title and you accuse someone else of plagiarism?! This situation is as ridiculous as my assumption. I haven't watched Jekyll yet, but it feels quite different from Kill Me, Heal Me and the more this story goes on the more i become an enemy of that drama, even if it was the writer of the webtoon that caused such ruckus. Choosing Ji Sung as a target was more than wrong. Kill Me, Heal Me already had a powerful fan base and these ridiculous accusations aren't helpful towards Jekyll. As for Kill Me, Heal Me, it can only get better, it has a vast world in its background and its storyline has a lot yet to depict.

As for Heart To Heart, i've watched 2 eps and soon i will keep up with it. Thumbs up to tvN's attempts for a more realistic and down to earth approach in the world of dramas, without losing their quirkiness!

Even though i haven't finished yet SLA, i'm right in the middle, i have to admit so far that i like its cinematography, it's either more 'golden' and glamorous when it comes to the high society of art or more humble, darkening, even bereaving when it comes to the main male lead and his surrounding environment which is realistic and simplistic and depicts perfectly his poor background, but also his passion for something 'forbidden' like the piano, due to his lack of money, but luck smiles at him. In Valid Love, in the first two episodes that are in the past when both characters met, i think they wanted to make it more, how to say it, quirky and present two different worlds, the world of an adult and a high school girl, henceforth the chasm between them and the oddness of the presentation. I totally agree with you on the female lead factor, if i don't like her then it's over. Yet, if you ever have the time, try to make it up to the end of the third episode, or fast forward the second one and watch the third one and see if it works for you in a few years later time, just a humble suggestion for whenever wherever and IF you feel like putting yourself in this. It's always up to each one of us :P

Thanks a lot, hope the overall vibe of the drama will finally work for you!

Thanks a lot for your generous words!! And i really do hope Valid Love rewards the time you'll invest in it if you give a shot!

The first two eps are mostly humorous in a comic-like vein, but each one to his/her liking! :) Although some dramas once you drop them and you catch up with them later they might have a different impact, thanks for reading and expressing your thoughts in constructive way :D

Thanks a lot! :) More people need to watch and more dramas with a more realistic perspective must appear in the K-dramaland! Of course, the more dreamy ones shouldn't cease existing :P

Thanks!!

Haven't reached the 16th one yet, tomorrow's the day. As for me, the drama evokes a sympathetic vibe to the triangle figures, square if you'd like if i take into consideration HT's hoobae too. They all have their positives and negatives and none of them is being presented as a "saint" whereas another one is the "devil" etc, it's a realistic approach i'm really eager to find out how the interactions between the characters will flow until the very end. I understand HT's world, although when he became violent towards IR it was a tough scene, but it's part of the realistic approach :P

Thanks a lot!!!
I usually pay attention, but mainly in films if i start noticing that something good is going on in cinematography etc :P In dramas it depends, but this whole thing on Valid Love came totally unexpected! Indeed, the story is not so awesome, good still, but the surrounding environment makes the overall package really tempting! The approach on Hee Soo is also powerful.

Thanks a whole lot! :)
There are 2 more weeks until it finishes airing! It's always up to you when you will keep up with it again and i hope it will reward you until the very end!

Thanks a lot for your generous words! Let's hope it will end masterfully, just like it deserves! K-Dramaland needs more dramas in that vein.

Thanks a lot for your words!! Yep, the first episode were hilarious when they were not hurting! The cartoonish aspects of funny moments really did justice to the scenes. Except for the triangle, i feel for Hee Tae's hoobae too, she's got an intriguing character as well. I hope in the end there will be a relieving ending for all of them, not necessarily happy, but rewarding in its own kind of way. Yeaaaah, Gi Tae is such a piece of aish! I love Yi Ri though, i can't get enough of her :D

Thanks a lot! Indeed, you can't say you hate X but Y is totally correct whereas Z does this, etc. The writer does a really good work. They have their flaws and positives, it was good for a change for a South Korean drama to have a realistic approach and a daily vibe.

un-fun fun XD

I agree with catshannah, you could give it a shot to see how it progresses, you're still in the very beginning.

Thanks a lot for your generous words! :D In the beginning i thought it was a 16-episode drama, did they change the number of episodes into 20 recently? I really hope for a rewarding ending for all 4, including Hee Tae's hoobae!

Thanks a lot, hope you enjoy it once you start it! :D

Now that's interesting! Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! :)
