This unique drama had an intriguing plot, compelling and multi-layered characters, stunning performances (especially for Kim Nam Joo I think it was a role of a lifetime!), beautiful cinematography, perfectly combined with touching music. The ending was very unexpected and provoking (at least for typical K-dramas) and made me think that, perhaps its purpose was to emphasize the fact that, eventually, we all have to live our lives through the choices and sacrifices we decide to make...
You are SOOO Right!!!!! Only time will tell on how well this show will stand as a whole, but right now it's fun…
I find so sweet and respectful the fact that you always give a positive and/or thankful reply to everyone who posts a comment to your articles!!! It's such a rare attitude! :)
A fast-paced, full of suspense drama, with a unique story line and a solid performance from Go Kyung Pyo. Despite the scandal of JJH, the plot was smooth and the ending satisfactory.
It's the talk of the town: one of the most controversial, yet popular/trending dramas these days. Beautiful cast (all four totally fan-servicing), interesting plot (since we don't know how similar to the original will turn out to be) and promising outcome, given the cast's dynamics.
A warm, rather slow-paced romance drama, with decent performances and satisfactory characters' development, but that's it! Not that thrilling, not that memorable, but not that bad or boring for my taste. The highlights of this show were definitely Yoon Park as PD Lee Kang and Ha Joon as manager Kim Joon Woo.
This show and its plot are getting better and better! Kam Woo Sung as Son Moo Han is growing on me episode by episode... ... and Kim Sun Ah is such a charismatic actress!
Some rom-com clichés are a MUST for k-dramas (sweet, annoying or guilty pleasures)... For me, the loveliest cliché is when the ML is a tsundere chaebol and the FL is a Cinderella. The most annoying cliché is when the second-lead is obsessed and manipulative and doesn't get the message that he/she has to give up! The funniest cliché is when, for even a small paper-cut on a finger, they bandage the whole arm! The most infuriating cliché is that almost all MLs and FLs are beautiful, slim and either: 1. very successful professors, doctors, lawyers, prosecutors, chaebols, etc. but only 20-25 years old, or 2. very poor and unlucky, but have the latest and most expensive mobile phones!
After reading all the comments about the sudden female lead replacement, I was hesitant to watch it, but when I gave it a try I found it quite good: fast-paced, suspenseful, complicated, intriguing and very entertaining! Despite its flaws (some times too frustrating and too stretched, with some inconsistencies and plot holes) and a couple of out-of-tune episodes, after all this replacement mess, it was successfully and quickly back on its track, although a bit heavier and darker.
Cruel City and Falling for Innocence were the best of his dramas! Is it a coincidence that he was co-starring with Jung Kyung Ho? Is it a coincidence that the best dramas for Jung Kyung Ho were the same?
K-Dramas taught me that, if you want to be successful in life and love, you have to endure constant harassment by your superiors/co-workers, betrayal from your close friends/relatives, humiliation from your in-laws to be, or at least a memory loss, a birth secret or an incurable disease!
they taught me to look both ways at least twice before crossing a road :]also, now whenever I walk anywhere, the…
Don't worry, you'll be safe: your destined handsome, arrogant chaebol-prince is gonna save you the last second! Although he'll be seriously injured instead of you, go through a serious surgery and fight with his whole family for your love,in a couple of days you'll be living happily ever after!!!
Such an underrated drama! Bae Doo Na and Seo Ji Suk were splendid at their roles and had beautiful chemistry! Halmeoni was superb, and the couple of Jin Ju & Eo Jin was the sweetest!

A must-watch masterpiece, a phenomenal little actress: Heo Yool!!!
Really missed her!
I'm very curious to see what the reaction of super annoying, spoiled and selfish Soo Ji is gonna be when she realizes that the ship has sailed!
You're wasting the funniest time of your drama-life!

I can't wait for Todome no Parallel's episodes to be subbed!

It's so realistic, it hurts: all cast members really breath life to their roles!
