He's more of a side role, he kinda does his own thing with Cha Hyun, but starting in ep 4 he's in it quite often. But honestly so worth it--one of his best performances. He plays a very bright, sweet and gentle character and does so with charisma. Shows his range. The romance was my fav part of the show.

Love the fresh take of having a married couple as the leads--so rare in the romance genre. Looking forward to a different kind of story.

I like her but she ends up playing the same style of character in every drama -- the independent, logical, no-nonsense, kind but emotionally lukewarm female lead. I haven't seen her play a different role maybe ever. Hoping she brings something new to this role.

They should have kept this a lighter drama focusing on all the different cases he took--the revenge plot was too heavy and convoluted and took all the magic and spark out of every character involved. The random side plot with the sister was out of nowhere and fell so flat and the FL, who was fun and spunky at the beginning, lost her soul inexplicably and just walked around dead-eyed and robotic the whole second half. It has been a long time since I've seen a drama that started so promising deteriorate so fully. Like, this could have been one of my favs of all time but I had to force myself to finish for WDH.

WDH has amazing comedic timing. LIke he's done a lot of serious dark guy roles, but he is legit hilarious. Cannot wait. And Oh Jusg Se is a legend. IDK the FL lead but if she was chosen along with this amazing cast I will trust

Like, insanely good. So much better than with Joy so it was hard to even root for the main couple lol. I have been praying for them to be leads together for years. Literally watched the drama for those two and MinJae

Thanks for the thorough answer! I like bromance and I like BL, just wanting to know what to expect and how much to read into everything lol

He seems to struggle to pick good drama projects, which is a shame cause he's a fantastic actor. I still can't believe he slayed the performance as the Qin Emperor at the age of 24.

Is this a BL or just a spicy bromance? I can't tell from the comments.

I liked it and was happy I watched it. I would totally watch it again. You can't really think of it like a part 2, just think of it like another Chinese drama. It has a totally different plot and feel from the first. But it has a good story and I enjoyed the relationships and the acting.

The fact that this show is still ranked #6 of all dramas after 8 years is such a testament to its greatness.

She did some underhanded shit, but it was only ever in response to Grandpa Puppetmaster trying to force her out of the position. She also helped Tae Ha at times and wasn't willing to actually hurt the company to win. Was she just supposed to step aside and let him take over through Tae Ha?

Last week when she hesitated slashing the portrait of Tae Ha's mom and had the saddest look on her face I started to wonder if there was way more to that backstory -- and then I was like, what did this woman actually do that wrong? She was doing a good job as CEO and was just trying to hold onto her position and had to be ruthless going up against a ruthless man who was trying to take her down to put his grandson in her place. Was she just supposed to step aside and let the evil man win?

Loving the upbeat role for IU --she has played a lot of dark, cold characters in her past few roles. Looking forward to it.

Hon. Please go read it again.

I see a lot of people going off about Kim Young Dae (me, I'm one of them, he's amazing). But PYJ is sooo good in this! I've never seen her before, but she has played this dual role really well. A less capable actress may have tried to make Ri Ta and Yong Hwa polar opposites to emphasize that she is playing someone different, but she did not overplay their differences so much as just embody two different characters. It was very well done. And she has had so so so many extremely emotional scenes and delivers every time.

The scene at the end of ep 12 where he is back hugging her, ISTG kim young dae was not even acting at that point, he seemed very moved by her performance in that moment and the tears were just flowing for him. She brings out the best in him.

Will def keep an eye on her in the future.

My jaw is literally open at that first one. The chemistry is SIZZLING. Especially in the past scenes. That's like one of the best parts of the show for me.

this is KYJ's best performance I've seen from him. And the FL actress is fantastic. Her character got kind annoying at the end.

It gets draggy at points but never enough that I didn't enjoy each ep, and I don't think it will be as noticeable if you binge it.

I have been telling all my friends to watch this one. It' will be a great binge watch.

His voice is AMAZING. Gentle yet powerful, soft yet fierce, quiet yet full of emoiton. It's his absolute best trait (among many)

Yah the characters keep doing the same things over and over, making the same dumb mistakes. It's frustrating. I do like the show overall, but wish I'd waited to binge it cause then I would have noticed it drag so much.

Trying to look at their character flaws for the answer. Her flaw is that she cannot face her own pain, and so that pain gets transferred to everyone around her instead. And his flaw is that he cannot live for himself, only for others. In a tragedy the characters cannot overcome thier flaw and it causes them to lose everything, in a happy ending they are able to overcome them.

They seem to have both made a big step to overcome their fatal flaws by the end of ep 12, so I would ASSUME they will get at least a bittersweet ending or a happy one.

Dad has been really making the point that their feelings for each other is what causes their misery, and we know he twists the truth so I would guess that instead of denying themselves the joy of their feelings at every turn like they did in their past lives, they will win by embracing them fully with courage.

An interesting loose end is that Min Oh isn't dead--that would hint at Joon Oh coming back to life. -OR- at Do Ha embracing the memories of Joon Oh and maintaining a close relationship with his brother.

My other guess is that once the curse is broken Do Ha and Ri Ta will have a chance to go back and live their lives in the past again. And then in the future will be reborn as Ri Ta and Joon Oh and the end will be a funny meet cute implying they fall in love.
