YESSSSSSSSS! OH this is sooooo true!I was wondering if anybody wrote this kind of article and lo and behold thanks to a new article that came out today I found it! I started watching Kdramas a year ago and it took me a total of three dramas(Goblin, CLOY, DOTS) to figure out the concept! And to get nevertheless seriously addicted! You wrote this 8 years ago but the rom coms are still the same! I would like to know why? Anybody?

Episode 6 : Extraordinary You reunion!

So this is an improbable and gripping love story but the happy ending is all wrong. The robot should have stayed dead...

No, no and NO! This is not what I've just seen. The first two episodes are great and then it becomes so repetitive and annoying. The romance is unconvincing, the leads have less than zero chemistry together. The FL acts like an 5 yr old. The ML is annoying with his advices. The good, because there is good, are the side characters and the poems which are the great idea to frame the show. So I really do not agree with your review....what a waste of a good idea! I like dramas that are close to reality but this one just misses its mark completely!

There is a love triangle which reminded me of While You Were Sleeping: the FL was much better off with SML but ended up with ML...

Ok so this drama had a brilliant start. Two first episodes were perfect. Then it is downhill all the way, not a gentle slope but a free fall to a disaster.... The main characters have no development, they seem never to learn and keep repeating ridiculous behaviour and, as we are all human we all repeat our mistakes but here it is just the same thing over and over again. The saving grace are the secondary characters and poems. What a disappointment! And Lee Yoo Bi is one of the worst actresses there is! She has zero chemistry with her partners(see her other works...shudder at the thought!) and is always playing cute whether it is required or not!

I have seen three of her dramas( Scholar, Poem, Pinocchio) and each was a bigger disapointment than the previous one. She is pretty and cute and her acting skills are the same pretty and cute but not good. She had zero chemistry with all her partners and she ruined perfectly good dramas with her overacting and eye rolling and by just being cute where it was not needed...What a waste!

The main actress is totally charisma free and basically ruins every drama she's in : just look at The Scholar Who walks in the Night and Pinocchio.... a disaster!

This makes me think of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" (formerly known by its non PC title Ten Little Indians). Who is behind all these deaths? I'm almost halfway through so......

Drop this and watch Tunnel instead: time travel done way better!!!!

Thank you : I've already seen three of those and I liked them. I'll try the others now! I rewatched Secret because i was a bit frustrated with Save the Last Dance and I needed some high quality Ji Sung drama though I managed to finish it afterwards! It was OK in the end!

I like my rom coms to have at least a sliver of believability but I am really getting annoyed with these dramas where the main characters are 35 yrs old beautiful and smart women who had never dated.... Apart from this and the awful title, this drama is so sweet,fun and easy to enjoy! So definitely worth your time if you are looking for something not too complicated!!!

Lee Min Gi is THE best.... Good crime drama, surprising twists, horrible cheabols, the usual corruption across the board and great chemistry between two main leads.

The only way I can think of to describe this drama: so much bad acting in one place is unbelievable (notable exceptions being two MLs): the worst being Eugene. I have never seen so much screaming, heavy sighing, childish behaviour, gesturing... and to top it all there is no chemistry with ML. So if you can past this (it takes 8 episodes)the story is good,your usual rich guy,poor girl, amnesia plot.

Hilarious review! Thank you so much: I share your opinion. Watching it today, 15yrs after it was aired,all the flaws are more visible: so much overacting and bad acting, absolutely zero chemistry between the main leads ( they should have cast Ji Sung and Lee Bo Yung as a main couple, Eugene is sooooo bad!). It is painfull to watch, it has not aged well. Required watch only for the die hard Ji Seung fans!!!

I am binge rewatching this now because I cannot find another revenge melodrama as good as this one. Any suggestions? Happy end is a must!

This is sooo good! A story about two people hurt by life who take different approach to dealing with it: he becomes happy go lucky open to the world while she closes up and doesn't allow anyone in. They meet and fall in love... If you need a filler, something nice to watch, this is a sure thing that will put a smile on your face!

Chinese version of Kdrama "Because This is My First Life"...In order to have a place to live the FL marries a cold and stiff ML and than they fall in love....

There is something that's been bothering me ever since my first drama: the coats that are never taken off! Why? They eat in them, they sleep in them, they work in them... the coats are really nice but still?!?

Now that I finished it: it could have been a great melodrama if they only took out the storyline of the trashy lawyer which had nothing to do in this drama. If they wanted some comic relief, there were stories of his blog followers and there was the story of the producer friend and the writer which were really funny without being cringeworthy. Two thirds of the drama are really hard to watch due to this confusion: after a couple of episodes I started skipping scenes with the lawyer(first for me! I have never skipped a minute of the dramas I've seen!). The last four episodes are just brilliant (if you skip the aforementionned scenes that are thankfully rare!) and moving. Have tissues ready. The ending is great and uplifting....
