omg this is the sweetness that I needed! Thanks for reminding me of this drama! When I first read Shin Min Ah is in this, I thought I definitely had to watch it and then forgot about it again. Well I guess it's also good for me though cause now I don't have to wait for new episodes to air. hehe

From the trailer it seems they added some stuff, but in the novel definitely it was a love story between two very rational adults, nothing overly dramatic. Well I guess they had to add some more exciting storlines for the drama. There is a link to English translation in the discussions if you click 'view all'

I was unsure if I wanted to watch this, now I know I definitely have to! But I think I will take my time, because I usually shy away from heavy stuff and it seems like there are many details that shouldn't be missed. Thank you both for this thoughtfully written article! And also have to add I just love the choice of pictures and gifs!

actually I really liked Tian Wen, when I watched Word of Honor and always listened to the entire intro, often times I just skip intros, but I never bothered to look up the singer. How stupid of me, I will now catch up! Thank you for the very detailed guide :D

same! even when I saw him somewhere else I was always thinking aah it's precious Ho goo

there are just too many interesting characters in this drama. :D

Thank you for this article! I did get why some people found the drama too slow and complaining the story not leading anywhere, but for me it was exactly what I needed. I totally fell in love with the flow of it and all the characters, even the 'evil ones' weren't entirely evil. I would've loved to see more and get to know more about the backstory even of the side characters. You didn't mention Ki Seon Gyeom's sister, Ki Eun Bi, I think her charcter also had a lot of stories to tell. In conclusion yes very much a gem. And thanks for your self love message!^___^ Lots of love for you~ <3 <3 <3

right?! I was so upset when she just gave up being the CEO and ran away. And on top of that having a child and not telling him. Like all of the traits I loved in her character instantly gone. And then he accepts her back as the perfect "angel" that he is. If I were him I would've wanted to be the child's father, but not be with her anymore. After such a thing how can you still trust her? I am still pissed!! But of course it's a drama and of course they have to have their happy overly romantic ending .... haha I better stop here. I just believe the drama could've done much better without that part of the plot.

I ususally refer to it as the "White truck of doom" but after this masterpiece I might be tempted to use "Murder Truck Kun". Very well written! I almost choked on my own spit laughing!!! xD Let's hope Hyundai doesn't try to sue you.

I understand that many people found the drama slow, if you are looking forward for something to happen. If you just enjoy the interaction between the characters it's not slow at all. I even took it extra slow because I didn't want it to end. There was not even one single character I hated in this and there wasn't one episode I found boring. I could've easily watched another 10 episodes of this and I usually avoid dramas over 20 episodes.
I do get it's not for everyone though, but it's what I needed at the moment, so for me everything was perfect. Now I can only move on and be sad that I've finished watching.

Normally I am not the one for dark dramas, but Kame and that trailer might tempt me to try it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Aah this takes me back to my working holiday in Japan, when I stayed at the apple farm in Azumino. The country life definitely has its' charm, and I love this kind of finding yourself story. I wished it would continue for a bit longer.

jelly jelly jelly je~eelly

Loved reading your article! And the fact it ended with The Untamed was the strawberry on top of the cream! (wait I think it was another fruit and another saying, but who cares!) I wonder how many people here have the honor to be destined to be your friend. :D

I guess in my watch list you can find a lot of fluff, I do enjoy them, but I'd say my favourite genre is still slice of life, and I agree especially Japanese perfected this, also Korean dramas do a great job with chemistry. If there is a family by the third episode I am convinced they are actually related and their friendships feel so real, many of these stories are so heartwarming. Also the comedy is great, but I know some of the stuff that cracks me up might be extremely weird to non Asian drama watchers.

If I had to recommend one drama for beginners it's probably Hana Kimi. It's old, but gold. I can rewatch it anytime and it's still one of my favourite drama, it's got the crazy humor and friendship and Ikuta Toma!!

hopefully in season 2 they are not going to stay in black suits? I like the red track suits and makes more sense to fight in those! these commercials really, when I thought it couldn't get more stupid than the corn dog one

I am trying to not check anymore cause I will cry. ^^° don't they always announce it like: hey tomorrow it's airing? If it happens, it happens!

oh right, I forgot about ML, he seemed quite typical type of cold from the outside but warm from the inside character, so not really that endearing. But since there was a lot of comedy in the novel I believe Xu Kai is perfect for that role, he can pull off the charming jerk if you know what I mean.

hmm I wouldn't call her either. She is very young (in the novel 19 years old?), so some naive traits, but definitely not an idiot. She is quite a tomboy and hot-headed, after watching a bit of Cheng Xiao in that skate boarding show, I look forward to her portrayal of the character. So let's hope they stick to the novel, then you won't get the general stupidly naive FL. :D

Agree!!! I wonder there are so many of us, who feels the same, why do we keep watching? hahaha As for me I am just enjoying the comedy and trying to ignore the messy plot. like at this point I am too far in to drop it. Well I rarely ever drop a drama, even the ones I am not enjoying, I am that kind of masochist.

hahaha this is exactly how I am going on with this. otherwise I would be too frustrated to keep watching. Sadly they blew the best stuff in the first couple episodes, well I guess it also does get old. Now I am enjoying it more if she hurts herself on purpose to make him feel the pain. :D
