Just finished episode 8 and my rarely activated SLS is kicking in! I need some good OTP interaction STAT to get me off this sinking ship.

I've heard good things about that drama over the years but still haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for the YT info.

After finishing 6 I read a lot of the comments and now I have thoughts. This post could get long! There seems to be two camps in regards to how people think Ji Won should have reacted after learning that Baek Hee Sung isn't BHS, but I'm mainly addressing the love should conquer all idea. First, Ji Won just found out that her whole relationship/marriage is based on a lie, and given that lie I wonder if they are even legally married, so that alone is a devastating blow and breach of trust. Then to make it even worse Baek Hee Sung's true identity is that of a wanted murder suspect and possible serial killer/accomplice and there's no way any rational person can just blindly continue on with her previous life. I think she's actually being calm and approaching it reasonably because if I'd been in the same situation I would have taken my child and run for the hills not continued to live with a possible murderer.

What's the name of that jdrama?

I'm also relieved that, so far anyway, the ML is hovering in that gray area, but I also appreciate that it's a very fine line he walks. For instance I was genuinely worried that the ML would actually kill Park Kyung Chun in episode 6 and relieved when he didn't. I think that that uncertainty makes for a better drama and a more interesting character.

Now I'm really want episode 7 subs to be complete! LOL

Win-win. And I probably shouldn't say it because it might jinx it, but as far as I know they're still together which is rare.

I'm actually glad I knew the husband way before I decided to watch or I probably would have been aggravated at all the ways they led the viewers to think the husband had to be Junghwan. I was happy with the outcome though because even if I hadn't known I totally would have been Team Taek.

Great. I'm on 17 and still really liking it. Maybe I wish the episodes weren't all movie length, but I certainly don't regret watching.

I've gotten to the point were dropping dramas doesn't bother me, but I know some people don't like too. Hope you are able to enjoy it if you keep watching.

I was spoiled on the ending and soured by the resulting fan wars so I never planned on watching this drama, but Netflix constantly suggesting it got me curious and I couldn't resist checking it out. I'm now 8 episodes in so obviously I like it even if the constant bickering between the married couples has me pushing fast forward some, and the episodes are crazy long. There's just something warm about the neighborhood and sense of community and family and friendships that pulled me in and keeps me watching. That said I now get why so many fans were calling foul with the whose the husband trope on this one. All the scenes in the present (2015) with the husband are geared toward a certain character behavior wise, and at least so far there is very little correlation to who I know ends up with DS. I'm actually glad I was spoiled because I would probably be one of the ones feeling like the writer really trolled us.

I recently started this drama. While I'm enjoying it, it is definitely more what I'd call slice of life, focusing on the day to day ups and downs of the characters. I've watched 8 episodes so far and it maintains a slower vibe throughout with very long episodes. So if that kind of vibe doesn't interest you right now, I'd say drop or put on hold and move on.

Random shallow sidenote giving props to the stylists who did Lee Joon Gi's blond hair. That really light color is hard to get right, but they managed to find a shade and style that he rocks.

I wonder why the rich couple remade him into Baek Hee Sung? Maybe the real BHS was driving the car that hit Do Hyun Soo that night, and it's an elaborate cover up. Here I thought the faux parents cared about DHS/BHS on some level, but maybe not.

I've been watching dramas for a long time now so I never feel bad about dropping dramas that don't click with me. From your list I only started two dramas, Eternal Love of Dream and Forest, and I dropped both. Forest just didn't click with me even 4 episodes. I think I made it almost halfway through ELoD, but I gave up since I was fastfwd constantly or falling asleep.

Now I'm off to google ASPD. :)

Very interesting first two episodes. Now I'm googling the differences between psychopaths and sociopaths because the Viki comments were full have differing opinions on what BHS/DHS is. 'm leaning toward psychopath as he seems way to controlled to be a sociopath. Gotta love when a kdrama turns me into an amateur psychologist.

I wonder when it changed from Dec.? Here's hoping!

The only time English in an Asian drama bothers me is when the character speaking it has been portrayed as a native English speaker and they so obviously aren't. I know people who understand a language, but are not particularly comfortable speaking it. So they'll listen to what the person is saying in one language, for example Creole, and then answer in English. So having a conversation in two different languages isn't really that odd.

I don't think any version's ML can top Chen Bolin as Li Da Ren in my heart, but I'm always up for checking out another countries take on one of my favorite tdramas.
