the Hong sisters are the screenwriters of this drama and a bunch of others, almost all of their dramas have been big hits, "You're Beautiful" is probably the most famous since it was a break out role for all 4 of the main stars, they are also known for having cameos of actors from their other dramas, although I think this one is the first time they have had 2 leads who were also leads in one of their other dramas

It's a Hong sister drama so of course its worth watching. I don't know who gave it a 6 but I think thats a bit too low. It's an 8, 8.5 level show I think. It could have been better but I think ep 19 was a bit inconsistent and ep 20 dragged on more than it should have. If nothing else Se Young's part was probably one of the best surprises through most of the show.

I feel bad for the AKB girls after the first ep, I bet that was a shock to their system. But it confirms what I have felt for the last few years is that their current generations are not as good as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gens. I know the idol culture is different, but the girls like A-chan, Yuko, Sonoda, Mayuyu, Takamina and others who were always in the top 10 of the Senbatsu worked really hard to learn the basics of dancing and singing and it showed. You watch their performances and they hardly ever made a mistake, and they were always in sync with the choreo. Makes me wonder if Akimoto agree to this not only as a good PR move for AKB, but to also try and change the culture a bit. Either way, I think I'm looking forward to how the AKB girls respond and grow more than I am the Korean girls.

I thought Lee Yoo Ri had the best style and wardrobe in Father Is Strange than anyone I've seen in a long time or since. Until now, Park Min Young in this is just...WOW. Ok, enough about that. The acting and writing in the beginning of this has really been on point. I've watched a lot of serious dramas lately cause the rom/com's just haven't seemed interesting. Once you've seen over 100 of them they get really predictable. But this one definitely has a good twist on it. Hope they keep it going.

I don't know why but after seeing her in Suspicious Partner, every time I see her I think of Selma Blair's character in Legally Blond.

I have to say that Cha Seung Won is great at coming up with weird ticks and habits for his characters.

Because what he did by tricking her turned her in to the Samjang which made them want to eat her, not just be seen by her. If it had never happened, she still wouldn't have been normal, but at least she wouldn't have been in grave danger for 20yrs.

Yeah, that part reminds me a bit of Tru Calling.

Lee Joon Gi and Seo Ye Ji, I'm in.

I'm watching it on Viewasian. Kissasian has so many pop ups and ads that cause problems with browsers it makes it almost not watchable. And you can't use adblockers.

sorta reminds me of IQ248

Best zombie ever. I've seen several comments that she's like Park Shin Hye, but I think she more resembles Lee Yoon Ji, especially when she smiles.

Yeah, I think she's doing a great job too, Her character is written slightly different than the Jdrama but thats to be expected. All of the main points are still there, college student having a hard time finding a job, great memory, poor but personable, and most important someone who has expressive feelings and a sense of whats right and wrong. I think she's more believable than SuHo actually.

I hope at some point HBO US post this on their site.

My impression after the first two eps is that it's pretty good so far. The original was one of the best j-dramas that year so I have some hope for this one. I think YeonSoo is doing a great job so far, a bit more convincing than SuHo. I know there are a lot of SuHo fans, but from the perspective of an IT type person, he's not as convincing as Oguri Shun was. He has the look and the attitude, but he just doesn't have the feel of a "programming god" and maybe thats what the director wants. CheungSeok however is more believable than the original who had more of a sleazy look. The only thing missing is a good mesmerizing hit theme song like "Hikari - e" by Miwa was for the original.

so far I think the leads are portraying the characters as the manga author intended, I'm more interested in seeing how much of the manga is actually gonna be used since it's an unfinished work, it was great that they used Matsumoto Jun for the flashback, but I doubt there will be any "present day" cameos because if I remember right, it doesn't happen in the manga, its not out of the question for the drama production team to create one, but if they are planning on sticking closely to the manga then I doubt it

after watching her in Part Time Idol I think she would be a great pick for a Korean version of Kimi ni Todoke

they all fight some, but not to the extent of the manga, Tsukushi had some skills in the manga, this one is probably the closest in terms of having her now rich childhood friend show up and running around defending him, but I don't think any of them have completely captured her

This was great. If I didn't know any better I would have thought it was a Disney film.

I have always thought it was interesting that they cast Barbie Hsu even though she has visible tattoo's. That is usually a no no for an asian actress in these type's of dramas. I guess it shows that she was right for the part.
