I have no problem with SIG choosing another character working in an office as long as his character isn't a stoic one like in the last two kdramas. To be fair... the last two stories have been quite different and in BOD he kinda played two characters to full effect. Nice to see him back in the fantasy genre.

I kinda agree regarding this years output so far. But it depends on taste of course. I loved Can this love be translated amd Yumi cells 3 though.
Doctor on the edge, Boyfriend on demand and See you at work tomorrow where good but not stellar. I didn't like how Perfect crown and My royal nemesis have been wrapped up but was entertained for about half the time.
In cdrama there was more light than shadow for me so far. Love between the lines, Love for you and Road to success were great. I enjoyed Speed and love too. But I quit many of this years historical ones very fast ( f.e. Overdo, The glory) except for Pursuit of Jade and How dare you.

I get you. But to be fair - the acting felt wooden from almost everybody in SYAWT. So probably he had to act like that. I watched him in Bitch and rich 2 (which was an awful sequel IMO) but there he felt livelier. I give him the benefit of the doubt. Poor guy had to work with purple hair and somehow managed to look good. So I guess that counts. Lol

It's not just youm I liked the second couple but they acted too wodden for me mist of the time, especially the SML. I liked that they didn't go the usual route at the end though.

This drama had very well-developed characters, mature dialogues and an interesting story. I should have loved it way more and like the reviewer above I think the drama was missing something. For me it felt strangely clean at times starting from the sets to the stoic way the four main actors acted. Everything felt a bit too toned down. SIG can play very diverse characters and I think he played the introverted stoic boss well. I just wish, the other characters wouldn't feel the same way. Only the FLs parents and the villain-boss provided a little bit more liveliness for me. But my criticism aside I must say that this drama had many good things going for it and I enjoyed it thoughout its run. It also felt very well paced.

I loved everything about this drama but I'd give special praise to the OST , the ML, the queen dowanger and the cute little ghost. FL was good too. I liked her in another drama as well and am looking forward to her next steps.

They get officially together at ep 25 but their love story starts very early on. It's beautifuĺly told with lots of cute and heartbreaking moments.

I watched it at the same time. It's a bit fluffier than this one although there are high stakes too. But there's much more comic relief and a lot of pep talk too.

I actually liked that she dated others. That's normal and healthy regarding the way ChenYi left her. I wish he would have dated too. That doesn't take away their devotion for each other.

This probably became my second fave cdrama this year. With POJ beeing my fave this tops the modern genre for me. The couple was heartbreaking abd heartwarming at the same time. And I am happy to say that SWL was perfectly cast in this role. I couldn't finish Shine on me because he felt so stiff in it and the story had basically no stakes. I tried several times. But now I think it was badically the script and probably his role. He's a good actor.

Oh.. ok. I get that. But in my opinion the romance is still the biggest plot out of several others. I think it feels more like an ensemble drama like f.e. Love for you which concentrates mostly on the leads. But I'd say 60 percent is still romance.

IMO there has been enough romance in the show so far. It's clear that thry like each other but circumstance prevented them from getting together. The romance isn't the only arc here. It's interwoven with the other plots. Unlike many others here I think this dramas strong point is that there's more than one plot and the sude characters get their spotlight from time to time. It's more like western dramas are built and has an episodic feel sometimes rather than feeling like a long book.

Really? I think that's a compliment. He looks younger of course.

The soccer player who is kinda mean and kind of an outsider so far really reminds me of Park Hyung Sik at times.

This was one of the few times a show made me cry this year when they said goodbye to the coach. So heartwarming.

I liked Doctor on the edge. He played a great ML with an endearing personality. It may not be anyonea taste but I enjoyed every episode.

Although it turned really serious in the middle this drama featured many scenes where I had to really laugh out loud. The medical background was well executed, the two couples had great chemistry. The ending stuck the landing and regained the well needed humorous tone. My only complaint was the underutilization of the SML as well as the bee scene which gets my award for the most annoying kdrama scene of this decade. Lol

Ok...after episode 5 I think I thought too highly of Kim Minhas ex boyfriend. He's indeed a douchebag and a little revenge doesn't hurt;-)

At least the ML is a good ex husband. How refreshing.
And ... for a kdrama a ML with a former relationship is completely new territory. I love it!

I didn't catch that. That's indeed a bit shitty but kneeling and begging in front of strangers kinda is shitty too. You don't force a relationship like this.

I am really enjoying this so far. Contrary to popular opinion here I think that Kang Minhas ex did nothing wrong. Developing feelings for someone and telling it before anything happened is very mature IMO. Feelings can change. There's nothing to be done about it. So I feel sad for SFL. But I' ve seen it many times in my private life that new life sections can change someone a lot and former relationships don't always grow in the same direction. That's life.
But that's just my two cents. Feel free to disagree.
