Sadly, I have to agree. I'm by no means a hater of Jin Se Yeon, I mean I didn't particulary like her role in Bridal Mask, but always though her character was written this way and the actress did what she could to make it bearable. But now... Let's say I'm not that enthusiastic this drama is 50 episodes long. Maybe it'll get better?
Either this, or I'm gonna continue the personal tradition of ignoring one of the lead characters and focusing on everything else :D

I actually liked the beginning better. Now it's getting too predictable and repetitive. I think I'm going to drop it, especially if they're extending it with fillers... Not worth skipping.

*swoons*

Nah, I disagree with black jacket part. He look his best in it, but maybe I'm just drawn to spidery types. The hairstyle though! I can't get over the change from his early 20th century style to this hideous fringe. I may or may not scream at my laptop when they did it. His original hairstyle was so much more flattering than this coconut monstrosity.

Same here. Try not to focus on their lips, it helps a bit.

don't forget random against the wall scene. Deadpan, smirk, againts the wall, rinse and repeat.
But what can I say, I'm weak and I fall for it anyway.

"The Tyrant CEO is in love with me" <3

Berberian Sound Studio vibes and both Kim Mi Kyung and Ye Ji Won in the same drama? I'm gonna love this.

I want to watch sth with him to understand why is he being constantly name-dropped, but everything is so old... I mean, I was super disappointed with all the "classic" kdramas and now I'm hesitant to watch anything pre-2010. They just doesn't age well for me. Is there anything here that is still watchable?

Nah, it's perfectly normal to shoot arrows to infant for fun.

OK. Apart from some couch scenes and superhearing, it's nothing like You Who Came from the Star (which is a good thing in my book). Characters are completely different and the story seems to unfold on its own way.
Word of caution for vampire-genre orthodoxs: he's neither alien, nor vampire. Immortal, fast healing, but walks in daylight and doesn't even feed on blood (just liquid diet).
/ one more thing: special effects look super fake, to the point it only makes it funnier.

Let's just say the summary doesn't give this show justice. What a pleasant surprise.
Also: I can't believe we still don't have any "best served cold" line in the comments section.

I just started Secret but she isn't much different there than in her later roles. Loud, squeeky persona and over the top acting, but with typical pure and clueless k-heroine vibes. Unless she [=character] grows a spine or gains a composure in the course of the story, I beg to differ. She always plays the same type which makes me wonder whether she can act anything else or is she just being herself.

Not this time. The amount of cheesiness combined with bad acting is just too much for me. I only got as far as the end of ep 3, most of the time watching through palm face (is there a handy word for this? there should be. Like, when you're watching a horror or medical scenes covering your eyes, but can't either stop nor close them completely).
C'mon, even shoes are ugly.

Now I feel like a psychopath for waiting for the opposite. K-writters rarely have balls to pull through a sad ending (in dramas at least, movies are other cup of tea). Even when they're foreshadowing something ominous BEWARE, MULTIPLE SPOILERS INCOMING like in Faith or Missing you, they can blatantly ignore explicit scenes of main character dying recurring through past 15 eps and make a twist that saves him, so the scene they've been teasing us all the time never actually happens. I expect nothing less than a sudden chance for a treatment in the US and a removing all the family obstacles.

let's have a drinking game for every missed or rejected call in this drama.

lol, I kinda fear what can possibly happen next, silly first vs second lead rivalry aside. Why even bother to introduce deadly viruses, a loss of sight, imprisonment of the innocent and homelessness and abandon it all by the end of ep 3? Dear lord, what can not happen in next 47 eps?
I still watch it for Jamie tho, it's nice to see more of her.

It's hard to say for now. I've naively expected something on 6 Flying Dragons level, and it's not. It has some beautiful shots, but the pacing is off. For me, its merrit is the consistent use of the main theme (gambling), it's not just for the decoration but impacts the plot in a meaningful way and recurs over and over.
JGS was giving me a second-hand embarassment every time he opened his mouth in first 3-4 eps, but he's actually improving as an actor (and I'm not a huge fan of him neither). I mostly ignore him tho.

Ending of the ep 5 - I officially have a new nightmare to hunt me.

Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet ballet (you mean when they're sitting on the couch, right?).
/ Lol, I just saw the date. Nevermind.
