That's why the ratings are often skewed, because people rate the drama based on their "favorite" actor. It should be an overall rating, for writing, directing, acting, etc. The screenwriter is relatively inexperienced, with all dramas rated in the 7's. It sounds to me like this drama is just a train wreck all around. I would like to thank everyone that said specifically why they didn't like this drama. I can save myself a lot of aggravation by skipping this one.

Really great review, and NOT just because I agree with most of what you said. I'm glad to read that there is another person in this world that sees the same thing in Park Shin Hye - the same in every role.

I'm conflicted. I'm enjoying this show so much - I want to watch "just one more episode", but yet I want to make it last!

Is he living in Iron Man's house!?!?!

Unfortunately, Chinese dramas take until the 4th or 5th episode for character development. They tend to use a lot of filler scenes.

I occasionally watch Chinese shows. The dubbing really irritates me, and they are SOOOO long with a lot of wasted time. That said, there have been a few that I can recommend - Dating in the Kitchen, Exclusive Fairytale, You Are My Glory (I skimmed over the science space talk, but these two had great chemistry), Love Can't Be Said, Hidden Love (one of my absolute favorites!!). If you want to try a Japanese show, From Me to You is good. In the Chinese shows, there is sometimes premarital sex, which is unfortunate, but at least it's not done in a sleazy way. It's usually intimated by a lead up and then moves on to the next day.

And, if you are like me, you probably started watching K-dramas to get away from all the sex, violence and language so prevalent in Western shows. I'm so sad that Koreans seem to have jumped on the bandwagon.

I loved your review. Why people feel it's okay to take the Lord's name in vain, I have no idea. I will say, it was probably incorrectly translated. Recently I've watched a couple of shows (usually on Netflix) where they use curse words when they translate, when there isn't actually a curse word there. Why, I have no idea. There is certainly no need for it.

Thank you so much! I am only in the first episode, and I really don't like the FL. Does she get better, I hope? Irresponsible, trying to be cute, etc. Don't like it.

Thank you for this review. Personally, I need to at least like SOMEONE in the drama to keep watching. This will be a pass for me!

Perhaps because she didn't start out as a likeable character. The focus is totally on their love/hate relationship, their life journeys and how they help each other. I'm with you, 99.9% of k-drama romances have the obligatory third (or fourth, or fifth) person trying to break them up and i hate that.

I agree, however, i feel compelled to finish what i start. Plus, so many shows get better after the first few episodes, and I'd miss out if I give up too soon. That said, I don't understand people's need to tell everyone that they quit or whatever in the comments. Watch or don't watch, leave a review if you actually watched the whole thing, and move on.

Okay, can someone explain to me how it can be their 37th class reunion? Do they do reunions differently in Korea? Like, maybe they have one every year that the school has been open, for everyone to attend? During the reunion, I was so glad that FL grew a spine, but it didn't last long!

Excellent show, and I thought the chemistry was great. But I think he could have chemistry with a post.

Thank you so much!

Your first sentence sums it up for me. I watch to escape reality.

Okay, weird question, but is it possible to watch this drama and stop at a specific episode to get a happy ending? I don't like taking my time to watch a romance just to have them not end up together. But, if they get together earlier, I'm thinking I could watch up to that point...

By the way, LOVE your avatar!

I was really loving this show, but to me, that was one of the WORSE endings ever!

As others have said, everyone has their own opinion. It comes down to personal taste.
