I found myself rooting for a lot of the supporting cast, but was a little disappointed with them too. A lot of the latest When We Were Young has a lot of the same dynamics. I'm glad you wrote an article about this drama. All the best to your writing!

I have been watching the original again. After watching an episode of this series. The role of Joon in the original actually changed what kind of dramas Lee Yi-Kyung would be in. He could do comedy and he's had such a wonderful success with Welcome to Waikiki. I know many aren't a fan of Cho Hye-Jung, but she always has such a natural demeanor about her. I guess that is why I like them together, and I thought these two were important to the original shows success.

But I like this haircut on him! & I think he's good-looking too!

I think even Quentin Tarantino would enjoy this one. It's definitely got the feel of one of his movies along with the soundtrack. This is such a cool drama! But what happens with the young priest and those bad guys..had me in tears. Even the boyfriend told me, "It's just a TV show." It's a good one, though.

OMG! I love him in THE FIREY PRIEST & that scene when they were beating him up...my heart broke. So hope he gets lead roles soon. He really needs a drama. Such a worthy actor!

I'm so there with you. Some of those expressions of his were like photo shopped or something. Yet we see just how immature the lead character is in this drama. (sigh)

I think the original had more feels. I loved the police station moment from the original. That moment when Tao takes off his shirt and she cries in it. We don't get the feels from the hairdresser girl who still believes her dad is alive. And no one can replace the original Hoon!

Maybe fan fiction is in order..cause I don't think we will get any solution from the new Netflix show.

To me it was as if they were from two different worlds and lacked real communication skills, but isn't that in any K-Drama?

I dunno..I've had to go back and rewatch the original version while watching episodes of the Netflix version. Perhaps they have Americanized it a bit in the new version..but the fact remains Tao Oh is just a bit cruel to the girl he loves. I wouldn't have waited around for him either. He's rich, doesn't have a job so he really doesn't care that much for the real world..so he did need some alone time to figure himself out before he could really be there for somebody.

Maybe, that's why he seemed so familiar.

I kept hoping she was in more dramas. I really like her sincere smile. She needs bigger roles!

There is something about her that you want to feel for her character. Cool actress.

I'm watching Whirlwind Girl 2 now, but it can't compare to the first one. I will keep legends in mind. I must check it out.

Yang Yang does have the moves. No doubt about that. I just finished Whirlwind Girl and I loved him in that. Although, I do like seeing the fun side of him, too.

I could never get into Bride of the Watergod. The writing just wasn't there and not even he could save it. I have been peeved with some of the characters he's gotten as of late and find myself saying to the screen, "That's not right!"

I've been a fan since Tamra, too. I do feel he is getting type-cast. I feel sure though, he's an actor first and always makes his characters memorable. I don't think he would want us to think of him as perfect. Perhaps that's why he's such a beautiful person.

Just saying..if they ever did a Chinese version I would want Yang Yang in the lead role. Yang Yang and Im Joo Hwan do have a few of the same qualities. Still, they are quite original too. One of my all-time favorite dramas, which took quite awhile to get through. But I'm glad I did.

Have you watched Mr. Swimmer yet? I'm fangirling Jerry Yan (who has a Lee Minho smile) I also swoon for Mike D Angelo, as well. And yes, I am a Yang Yang fangirl!

Because this is my first Life has to be my favorite of K-dramas. Great cast. Unique modern story. I liked the soundtrack too. Just Between Lovers I had to drop. It was making me too sad.
