pretty hilarious so far but its only ep. 2 Sung Hoon's character is the same as always either haughty chaebol or spoiled idol. Though he is stretching his acting in playing the hostage character and looks pretty natural. I am hoping he keeps trying to extend his range as an actor.

I stopped watching when Drama Fever went poof. Picked it up again and I can't stand it. Dropped immediately. This really is a melo; there is a lot of misery ( which some people love). Also there is a reason genre, tropes and cliches develop, because a lot of people are pleased by it and over time we expect certain things for it to work as a story . Portraying these characters too realistically in all their unhappiness proved not entertaining enough for me to endure.

I look forward to this drama; its formulaic but very likable. I like all the characters but never really bought the first love Eun-ho had for Dan-i; it seemed very childish. And after the flash backs in the hospital a little incestuous-seeming.

I like that there is a Ms. Go character; in real life work there are many people like that protecting their turf etc.

Lots of action in ep. 11; looking forward to next week.

Really really loved ep. 5 (modern couple) and Yoona's ringtone; the one that goes 5, 6, 7, 8. Years later I still remember this drama but only ep. 5

Wow suddenly drama land is overflowing again! Touch Your Heart, Radiant, and my current can't wait for next ep. Romance Bonus Book.

First two episodes were so entertaining though I hope they don't turn this dark. The sibling chemistry is hilarious as are the parents especially the mom. I'm not worried about what genre it is as long we see the young Hye Ja for most of the show.

Really is it so hard to make a light happy-ish rom-com? the middle section was quite boring I put it on hold 2x I liked all the actors but the story is lacking. I wish I had skipped from 8-10 to ep. 16

It is sad; but isn't it great that at least CEH is helping her. Jane Austen had a harder life than her favorite character, Elizabeth Bennet.

Most people that leave the full time career market for some years find it very hard to get back to anything like their previous positions. As one HR manager said pointing at piles of resumes, which pile do you belong in?

Ep. 1 was so mediocre that I forgot I watched it but I came back to it because Encounter ended.---------------

Time to watch Lie to Me again; third time.

fast paced episodes. interesting characters. Male Lead looks great; they made FL look way less glamorous probably to fit her student character.

I watched the first 7 episodes in one sitting. Very charming; side characters are good too.

watched the first six half hour episodes. I love love love it! The high school reminiscences were perfect. Not too long. The main female lead (not fan of her previous characters) is wonderful in this drama and the character is in one of those life pivot points. Will she become a teacher or will she be a contract teacher for life. And the main lead is good too. HOw many times has he played a robot?

Unlit and wet firecracker. I can see the artistic vision but in the end it seemed kind of trivial and the whole middle was boring.

The side stories were interesting but not enough. Nice Casablanca vibe at the train platform.

melos are not my thing but I am going to give it another shot. In kind of a rom-com doldrum.

I skipped from ep. 8? 10? I don't it doesn't matter right to ep. 15 which is all you really need right there. ep.16 in some ways not even necessary. Glad I didn't waste my time on this one.

ep. 6 nothing is happening; she's a career woman now. I can't tell what he is doing. There's nothing else to watch (I am saving encounter episodes). Both leads are getting on my nerves now. could drop. I also wish they stopped having characters speak foreign languages in kdramas in general. Its almost always incomprehensible in English, Spanish and French.

I busted it down to 6.5. The colorful opening credits have more rom-com value than hours of the actual now boring, dreary and cliched mess that this has become. The writers have become incoherent. Ep. 11 -12 were thrown together like somebodies group project or something. I would have dropped this at ep. 8 except for YEH. Watching it now is a chore but such a waste of acting talent; the writers could have pulled it off if they kept the quality of the first 4 ep.

I wasn't going to watch this but the level of Makjang was so amazing as was the stunning beauty of Lee Elliya. The villainy is high. Very watchable for me as soon as I looked at it as over the top melo.

I am loving the OST:
Si llego a besarte -- Omara Portuondo
and Lee So Ra (이소라) - 그대가 이렇게 내 맘에 (Into My Heart) (남자친구 OST Part 2 _ Encounter OST Part 2)

and I agree with each frame is a postcard comment especially next to the sea and in Cuba; such golden magical light.

I am getting a bittersweet vibe.

Lost interest at some point; its a workaday office romance set at an airport. The cast is good; I really liked the security couple but they got very little screen time. I am not sure I would start watching it fi I hadn't watched upto ep. 28. For the all the people in I am hard pressed to find any kind of character developemnt or story line. You could skip from ep. 12 to 24 with no problem. I actually liked her more in Strong Deliveryman. Its too bad in most kdrama the strong female invariably becomes docile and passive after the midpoint. At least in this drama she stays pretty strong throughout.
