The shreds of longing glances and noble deeds for the sake of another that imply romance in this 12-episode drama are equal to like, ten average 16-episode romance dramas' worth.
Anyway, this drama continues to be ridiculously bonkers-good. The little bits of romance have been so unexpected and that's made them all the better. Choi Do Il going in without a plan, when he's been so focused on maintaining control and being business-like about it all? IT'S SO GOOD!!!
I love how all three sisters are competent, smart, and flawed. It's so refreshing.
The "I'm back" melted my heart though. The whole time he addressed himself as "ben zuo" and then he uses "I" with…
Ooh! I appreciate the extra context, as I hadn't noticed him not using wǒ before then... somehow... that makes it so sweet, what ;-; Gahhh I love them.
I lost my entire shit. I adored this drama, and was so happy to see them back together, BUT WHAT AN ENDING, FOLKS. Honestly, bold move to the writers/directors/etc. No explanation, no epilogue, just straight up plop him back to life and that's that. We love to see it
I'm so happy for them! I love that Ha Ji Won is going to be attending. Makes my little Secret Garden loving heart very happy. I love the thought of her and Hyun Bin as friends.
I watched this when it first came out, which was apparently nearly 3 years ago at this point. Just gotta say, I really liked this drama, but damn is it disappointing how little screen time/actual plot relevance the main chick had. She wasn't allowed to do anything. So sad.
Oh noo...too bad, the show is quite good in my opinion. But well, not gonna force you to watch if you have had…
What the other replier said! I usually assume the best looking dude is going to be the male lead, and to me that was obviously Ning Yunshao. Their chemistry was off the charts as well, whereas the actual male lead felt a little lacking to me, and only having seem him in minor/villainous roles before, there was no point where I was like "ah, yes, this is obviously the male lead." It sounds so rude imo, but he had big second male lead energy... ah well.. The female lead is gorgeous enough that I may return to this drama some day, but as is I'm too sad about the whole thing.
So uh, the guy I thought was the male lead isn't the male lead, and it's made me lose all interest in the drama.... But like, WHY did I think he was gonna be the male lead? Why did I think it would take them five episodes to introduce the actual male lead? I'm a dumb dumb. But now I'm a sad dumb dumb. (If I had accepted the actual male lead at the start, I would have continued to enjoy this drama, but now? NOPE.)
I'm not so upset by the ending for its' fake-out BS, but there are quite a few things they don't address that have me kinda annoyed. For one: You thought this man was DEAD and you're gonna just give him a lil hug like that? I'd be tackling him to the ground ffs. A full run and jump hug. That man would be on the ground from the force of my hug. I'd be looking at his face, hugging more, look back at his face, hug more- her reaction was so like; Oh, he's alive!. Second: That's all we get? Two scenes? Was the guy busy with another drama or something? No, "hey, why the fuck did you pretend to be dead?" scenes? No reunion with the rest of the crew+ahjusshi? No second time skip of them being married or w/e? Third: He never found out that it was her music that he listened to the night he ran away. Her piano playing as she mourned her father. They made sure the characters knew about all the other little connections between them, I definitely thought they would address that. Fourth: They never addressed the fact that (and maybe I'm misremembering bc I watched this drama over the course of it airing and then only just finished it) the dude from her father's company totally swindled her out of her inheritance? I know there were loan people after her but wasn't that resolved, and it revealed that there was actually still money there that was hers? I don't know. I'm annoyed. It was still a pleasant enough drama, but I'm annoyed.
I found the editing and tone a little cluttered and messy, but not irredeemably so. SJK is an old fave, so I'll watch this until the end.
I am excited to watch the leads become a super power couple, gotta be honest? They're both really likable, and I can anticipate them having great chemistry once the romance gets going.
I also admire the tone and content of this drama- its definitely something different from your typical crime/lawyer drama. I look forward to it, but Im not expecting perfection.
I didn't realize there were gonna be 20 episodes! I assumed it'd be a 16 ep one. I hope they can keep the momentum, this drama is so damn hilarious.
But man, watching this, I've come to realize just how much I crave a k-drama with unabashed LGBT content. Imagine an LGBT sageuk? I'd be able to die happy
