Is it weird that I wanna slap Min more than Kwan! She is treated as a stray by her mother and sister, yet, she decides to stay with them after getting a job, sponsors their ridiculous demands with her salary, apparently takes hand-downs from her sister (how that is possible I don't know! does that Kwan girl even earn a cent or is she just strutting about on her sister's cash!). And then she goes around misunderstanding, looking down on and insulting Sila! Huh! Annoying much!
Is this a new trend! First they started splitting 1-hr episodes into two 30-min ones (for commercials) and now they are splitting the whole drama into parts.
She actually looks kinda like snsd Yoona to me with that minimal makeup. Agree that Jin Goo has the Jiro Wang…
And Yoona looks like Park Eun Bin to me. especially in the earlier days. Everything lies in the eyes of the beholder, i guess. lol! But one thing common in all these girls, they are all pretty!
So mad at Guan Chao. Poor adorable Wu Yi! And I saw in a clip that when he confesses to her later she says yes instantly. She should have at least made him wait and chase her for some time for how he is breaking her heart now. T_T
An Ge(Fei Dachuan) isn't in the cast even though he is everywhere in the drama.
I am at episode 6 and I was wondering about the actor who played Dachuan but did not find him listed in the cast. So, I thought he might not be in that many episodes.
So, did TVN, the producers of the show and the director think that they can work a cliché and base script, with minimalistic effort of writing and a gazillion of product placements in almost every episode, just by depending on KJW and his chemistry with PMY! Seems like a yes. And it totally worked for me. I didn't give a flying fish to any of that but just them. And also a big thanks to all of them (tvn, producer, writer) for acknowledging KMW worth and bankability so much so that they staked that much on his first Romantic drama lead role.
I had been waiting for this, what it was seeming to become, impossible dream to come true for so long. KJW had covered all the genres. An emo brooding hot waffle-maker, a bullied and humiliated later charming gay baker, a gorgeous mute spirit/ghost second lead. a little obsessive second male lead who obviously lost the girl, a sinister psychopath and so on. This was the only one left. I had no curiosity about his acting skills. Because it's out in the open. Proven, again and again. He is brilliant and versatile but underrated.
His acting in this show and in most of his shows are so understated. he acts like he is not acting. Like that's who he is in real life. His expressions and body language are very subtle. The experience of watching this drama for me was so exhilarating. I still can't believe it happened and so sad that it's over. I love KJW and came to love him more, which I thought was not possible, after this show and the BTS.
The show was about Deok Mi and Ryan's relationship, which was mature. And they handled it so. Once they got together they did not act like teenagers but mature adults. No petty misunderstandings and quibbles. They discussed their issues. Forgave each others' blunders and accepted the oddities. Didn't make the kissing and the eventual sleeping together a big deal. No prude show. And of course there were a lot of holding hands, kissing and other lovey-dovey moments, loaded with great chemistry, because they just started dating and that's how people are when they are freshly in love. KJW and PMY's chemistry, both on and off screen, has blown away my roof. All in all the love story was more than perfect.
They promoted the show as the love story of a fangirl because it would else be just a love story. And it was, indeed, the love story of a fangirl. A fangirl who remained a fangirl till the last episode. Just the fangirling was gradually moved over by, mostly, romance and, in small doses, other life stuff. It was cliché and pretty average a story. But it felt good. The second leads and the witchy characters started out as cliché but turned around by the end. The acting was good and some were great.
I love Kim Mi Kyung and Kim Sun Young's acting in everything. Here, even though Uhm Soe Hye was a pain in the butt but she was hilarious. Especially her--"What do you think!-- to her secretary "Kim" about everything. And finally, I never thought the annoying sml/eung gi and the stalker fan-girl/cindy will become such adorable couple in the end. What a coincidence, they both were in My Only Love Song!
They probably ended it without the wedding because it would be twinning Secretary Kim if they had. PMY anyway looked like she walked out of WHWSK into this. I don't remember ever seeing any drama ending with the leads making out like that. I loved it. KJW's smile while kissing obviously called a resuscitation for me though.
It was such an emotional watch and I will miss it so much. I'll probably watch it again pretty soon.
p.s. Why on earth did they cut that kiss in the proposal scene! Why! That kiss looked totally adlib to me in the bts. Did anyone complain about too many kisses that is running outta viewing limit or something!
Park Min Young is the most stylish and best dressed k-actress ever. Even when she's in pjs her style is perfect. Otherwise, the k-dramas usually have the worst fashion for the actresses.
I'm totally a biased fan of Kim Jae Wook. So for me, it was something for which I've been waiting for a long time.…
I feel you! I am not finished yet. But from the comments I gathered that it slows down after episode 10. But for me, even if it were totally plotless and just be showing like Dok Mi and Ryan's daily chores together, I would watch it with all my spirit. I have waited for KJW's lead and whined about it in every forum possible since Coffee Prince. So it is surely a treat for me. In any case, this year, so far, has been filled with romantic drama flops, with boring plots, writing and chemistry. At least here the acting and "chemi" is good.
PMY has good chemistry with all her co-stars but I always thought healer was her best. And now this got added to the list.
Tbh, since this is my first time watching KJW in a romantic drama, I didn't know how he would be with the chemistry. No doubt he's a great actor but I have seen good actors bad at romancing on screen. And I believe just kissing doesn't work. Even when you are slobbering into each other but your body language and expression are like someone making you do it at the gun point, the outcome would be the same, a.k.a. it-sucks! So, when I saw their first real kiss I was so happy. Like, yaaas! boo you are good at everything. The body language, ease of reaction, expression, everything is so natural and effortless. The nature of their chemistry and relationship here is mature. At episode 10. Let see where it goes!
I just watched the clips on yt and it looks really interesting. I'll wait for it to end though. Can anyone tell me if it's somewhat like Black. The childhood flashbacks are giving me that kinda vibe.
After watching KMJ here, I am gonna watch man to man now. I let the negative comments about her dissuade me before, in spite of Park Hae Jin. KMJ is beautiful and an amazing actress. I wanted to watch this show just for Le Yoo Young, but KMJ is clearly dominating it. My first time watching her and love her.
