Season 2, thus far, seems to be even MORE corruption and politics than the first season. I think part of the rating problem is that there are SO many people to keep track of! People are coming in and going out constantly, and it's hard to keep up. I got to the point that I'm kind of tuning out everyone that doesn't seem integral to the story. Well written show.

I agree! He always looked suspicious.

I was about to say the same thing!

I'm in!

He is a terrific actor, and I've enjoyed him in everything I've seen him in.

Your mention of Another Miss Oh has me running away from this show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and saving my time, not to mention how angry I'd get watching the guy be a jerk.

So funny!

This is one of my go-to rewatches. Their character development and relationship development was a treat. Plus, she was very different looking and not a damsel in distress.

Loved your review. After watching scenes, that's exactly what I could see. The villain being the best part. Were they blind!?!?!

This one has been on my list to watch. I really wish that the Chinese writers would get a clue that after suffering through 36 bloated episodes, we would really like to see the couple actually together.

Thank you for your review. Life is too short to watch something that is just going to depress me.

Great review! The writers like to write angst a lot, but not so much with the couples being happy together. Typically, for 16 episodes, you have 15 3/4 episodes with drama, breakups, and filler, with the last 1/4 episode for the very rushed ending. Ugh, I'm so tired of that!

Great review for what I thought was a great show. I also like Lee Se Young. I just finished watching Doctor John though, and I didn't care for her character in that at all, though that was more a writing issue than the actress herself. Bae In Hyuk is an actor that fascinates me, for some reason.

Excellent review! I typically don't love makjang, but was planning on watching it to see what all the fuss was about. Even in the trailers, her lack of expression really bothers me. I may still watch it, but your review seems like the most realistic and well thought out of the ones I've read. Thank you for taking the time to write it. And I love the rants, by the way!

Great review.

Great review. I thought this show was a big ole mess.

Thank you for your review. This one is on my list, but the amount of wasted time in C-dramas in unbelievable.

50 episodes of over an hour each, Im Soo Hyang, and an overbearing mother? I'm out.

You are so right about that! I didn't fast forward through season one, but the FF button was my best friend in season 2.
