I am through episode 16 but i couldn't wait til the end to comment. i am from USA and have totally switched to Asian dramas. Probably up to about 50 dramas over last couple of years. American television is so full of itself, it is the same old stuff and i have tired of it. I love the A. dramas because i like to see the cultural differences and see how the stories differ as well. some of the themes in these dramas, you will not see on American TV and that is fine with me. that is why i watch.
I am very much enjoying the leads on this one, as with almost all of these dramas the leads are the most interesting to me (i guess that is why they are the leads!). That said, this one does leave me a little more baffled in that the underlying story, as in a lot of the A dramas, is all about the withholding of feelings, the failure to communicate, the almost taboo of saying what you feel. Many of these dramas would be a one episode show if the characters opened up sooner to each other. This one is especially curious as the male lead clearly wants a relationship with the female during the college years, something she desperately wants too, but she is so hung up on the past and how he reacts to things that she keeps making excuses not to be with him, even after both of them finally admit their feelings. it amazes me that he keeps pursuing her, most American guys would say 'see ya'...but i get it..that is the point of the story. anyway, i do love watching their interactions and i am sure they will eventually get together...i'll come back after completing to update if i am wrong :)
