A feel good drama

A simple story, a cute one and no more than this.
For me, as a European, some things feels so strange, but the world is interesting because of that. Such difference in society, but I wonder what happiness is about…
STORY – a legislation to bring people into society through marriage. Two lost persons find themselves through the other. Cosy, sweet, and a good time to spare.
CASTING – good job, but the characters are very plain and they do not have to exert themselves to deliver.
MUSIC – do not remember any of the songs or sounds.
REWATCH – I like it, but I will not watch it again. The feeling will stay with me.
OVERALL – good to entertain. Warms a heart that wants happy things.

With the virtual beauty and life, why do we need the real world?

The world is changing. The mirrors are changing to screens. The lives are all lies, or only the sweet part is told, or the bitter bullying in the social media.
The theme is interesting, everything else, for me, wasn't.

STORY - even addressing some of topics of our present, it is not so interesting to me. Feel shallow and that as nothing to do with being short. Could have been even shorter.

ACTING – I think the main 3 characters were ok. The rest I didn’t like. I don’t know who they are and I don’t care. I just care about the acting.

MUSIC – didn´t like it, but it is my personal taste.

REWATCH – never. It is short, but there are so many good Asian dramas to see.

OVERALL – maybe it is a drama for young people. I find the characters very doll like, don’t appreciate the beauty industry and the shallow world of influencers, youtubers and that stuff. Even if some are really good, the majority is not.Since is short, it wasn't a total waste of time. Maybe could be use to discuss some important topics of daily life...

The last scene was the final blow...It triggered the destruction of my neurons...

I do not mind interspecies or AI or cybernetic love. Although this was too much.
Maybe they could have told this story in the 24th century or so… The way the IA is portrait is completely nonsense, going from a rational machine learning to a machine with feelings…

STORY – the story is very messed up for me. We have a woman in love with a machine, a grandfather completely driven by power, villains that kill and do all sorts of bad things without being punished, a mother that want to sacrifice one to have the other, a spoiled evil man that becomes good in the end (maybe an upgrade was made), etc.
The plot is not well made and there is a lack of coherence in the way Nam Shin 3 treats and relates with Kang So Bong.
If we want philosophical dialogues and think about this technological future, we have the incredible Blade Runner movie or the short story: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

ACTING – it was very good for most of the characters. I don’t think the transformation from Human Shin to the AI Shin 3 is very big, but Seo Kang Joon did a good job. That was probably the best of the drama. The casting deserved a better story!

MUSIC – I don’t recall any of the songs, so i don’t have much to say.

REWATCH – no. It was painful for me watch until the end. There are some cute parts, a few funny scenes (could have been so many more), but I will never rewatch this again

OVERALL – don’t know what to say. I am a man, I like rom-com and maybe I did not find any connection with the romantic relationship (if we can have a relationship with a robot that don’t feel nothing…). I felt in other dramas of this kind, but never in this, and I really tried.

SPOILER!!!
The last scene killed me! A robot with lacrimal glands?!?!?!?!
I do not get it! Sometimes the ending of the rom-com dramas is so open or with just a scent of what is going on. In this, the writer(s) put a tear in a robot!!!!!!!

First drama with not a single ?...

Both ML and FL are interesting characters.
Lots of stories intertwined. Most are not good or interesting. The villans are laughable, the couples are annoying.
2 or 3 strong female characters, some romantic hints, but without any deliverance.
I fast forward a lot, 40 episodes is too long for what we get
I enjoyed it though, even if, when I analyse the all show it lacks coherence, plot, romance, etc.
STORY - could be better, the couple is nice, wish I knew a FL like her!
CASTING - They did ok, despite the lack of chemistry or love gestures.
MUSIC - didn't catch my attention, wil never remember a single song...
REWATCH - romantic scenes are non existent, the plot is not interesting, but some action scenes are ok. But I don't think I would watch it again

OVERALL - I think they try to do a salad with all the ingredients. Nothing is missing, only the feelings...

Is Kissing an act of love?

It's an entertaining show.
Is it all about kissing? At least Sol has a t-shirt saying BISOUS (kiss in French).
STORY - the kiss thing is what glue the plot, but not very interesting... Especially because kissing is maybe the worst aspect of Korean dramas.
Don't understand much about some couples, like Sol's roommate and her bf. Is he a platonic guy?

ACTING - good in most of the scenes, but strange in others...

MUSIC - didn't affect me, so I think it did the job, but wasn't special for me.

REWATCH - don't think I will do it. Especially because the last episode is so bad for me. Can't understand the writers. Maybe they were kissing and forgot to end things properly!

OVERALL - simple history to spend some time. Not unforgettable. The last episode was very bad for me... Downgraded the show a lot.

Uma resenha sobre esta curta e nada mais.

Apesar de qualquer projeto de minorias ter o meu apoio, esta resenha assenta única e exclusivamente na curta metragem exibida.
Ao contrário da maior parte das críticas, não creio que esta história condensada seja completamente percetível. Cada um poderá julgar e construir a sua própria narrativa, baseada na relação entre uma mestre de artes marciais e uma suposta demónio (verdadeira ou adjetivada assim).
As partes coreografadas detêm alguma beleza, os cenários, a música que casa bem com as cenas…. Entre os fragmentos discursivos, vamos entendendo a história, uma relação amor/conflito. Talvez estejam em polos opostos, talvez sejam inimigas apaixonadas…
Vale pelos aspetos cénicos e pela beleza das personagens…
Seria um trailer magnífico de uma peça mais longa…. Quiçá isso aconteça um dia.

Short and sweet with bits of stupid resolutions...

I just rewatch this drama. Is is simple, short and...

STORY - The Artist Rae Wan and Translator Eun Seong are best friends for almost 10 years. He loves her since long ago and she don't view him like that.
One day she kiss him and... She regrets, he falls even more for her and...
She is so selfish that she chooses nothing to love, because if there was a breakup she will loose his friend. The problem is that they stay apart for a year, couldn't never understand Korean love and timing...
One day she saws a poster about his exhibition with her, all about his love for her. So she barges in to his house, one year after she left...

ACTING - wonderful acting by both, who are the main actors of the drama.

OST - interesting because it is a part of the drama.

REWATCH - It is so short so why not

THE ENDING - don't know how I could end this drama, but it felt below my expectations...

OVERALL - could be an amazing drama, short and sweet. The 1 year gap and some decisions were strange for me.
But, I now know that Korean dramas are not all toooooooo long!! They can do things in the right amount of time...

Poderia ser mas não foi...

Na maioria dos casos, creio que os dramas são extremamente longos. Aqui dá-se o caso oposto, muita coisa pendente por explicar, desenvolvimento muito deficiente, quer dos personagens, quer do romance e história...

Poderia ser mas...

HISTÓRIA - confusa e não ganhou com o anacronismo das cenas. Ficou muito vazia de conteúdo.

ATUAÇÃO - nada de relevante. Nenhuma performance extraordinária. Apenas suficiente.

MÚSICA - apesar do que tenho lido, nenhuma me agradou particularmente, bem tornou a história ou as cenas melhores

REVER - nunca, com tanta coisa boa por aí...

NO GERAL - a ideia da história é interessante. Poderia dar mesmo algo mais curioso e bem feito, até mais longo. Assim, parece uma manta de retalhos, algo partido e mal colado. Não aconselho a não ser para quem vê os dramas pelos seus atores preferidos, o que não é o meu caso.

Um amoroso triângulo equilátero / A sweet equilateral triangle

Gosto muito de ficção científica e a ideia de outro drama se debruçar neste tema é sempre emocionante.
Contudo, apesar das potencialidades da tecnologia da inteligência artificial, a forma como Holo se desenvolve é humana de mais, a meu ver.

Por isso, para mim o interesse seria nas relações entre as personagens e não focar no aspeto da tecnologia, mesmo que até tenham incluído os perigos da vigilância, a possibilidade do descontrolo da IA, etc.
Os flashbacks deviam estar em greve neste drama, visto não serem imensos como é costume.

HISTÓRIA
Nan Do é um génio com falta de confiança relativamente ao amor e às amizades, fruto de um atribulado passado. Exceto a sua irmã (Yoo Jin), o único amigo é uma criação conjunta (Holo) entre a sua falecida mãe e ele.
Virgem e inocente no que se refere a relacionamentos amorosos, logo se apaixona por So Yeon, com quem partilha um passado que não é muito claro no início e que sofre de prosopagnosia (uma condição em que é incapaz de reconhecer rostos).
Contudo, So Yeon apaixona-se por Holo, ou pela ideia que tem dele, apesar da taquicardia quando está próxima de Nan Do.

Mais uma vez, a geometria do amor aparece num drama Koreano (tenho até dificuldades em me lembrar de um drama sem triângulos, quadrados, pentágonos amorosos.., deve ser muito bom ser uma mulher na Coreia, cheia de pretendentes). O que difere aqui é que o triângulo é composto por um humano e por um holograma desse humano, com algoritmos misturados de simpatia e empatia, por um lado, e uma missão de proteger e ser sempre amigo de Nan Do.

Bem interessante é a sua irmã, a forma como gere a empresa e as peculiaridades do seu irmão e a tensão amor/ódio com Baek Chan Sung, que dos infernos quer ascender ao paraíso.

Há os detetives da polícia, os funcionários da empresa e um vilão criminoso. Há a corrupção endémica da Coreia, segundo todas as séries que vi (devem pagar para nos rankings da corrupção não estarem nos primeiros lugares...), mas a história baseia-se na forma como Holo descobre o amor e as relações e o casal se reencontra e transfere o amor de Holo para o outro. Como o foco inicial é o Holo e para ser credível So Yeon apaixonar-se por um algoritmo, creio que a personagem Nan Do (mesmo sendo um génio empreendedor incrível) não é muito bem desenvolvida e não há muito espaço para a química entre od dois.

ATUAÇÃO

Suficiente. Yoon Hyun Min faz dois papéis e por isso merece algum crédito. Go Sung Hee esteve bem também, mas não me parece ter um papel muito exigente.
Mas, gostei mais da Choi Yeo Jin, sem me recordar se já a tinha visto atuar alguma vez.

OS BEIJOS NAS SÉRIES COREANAS SÃO PÉSSIMOS!

MUSICAL - Não dei por ela, por isso não achei nada de extraordinário

FIM - O fim poder-se-á considerar bem executado e feliz, mas para mim a última cena é desnecessária e preferia, ao contrário de quase todos, que o mais lógico prevalecesse. Afinal, um holograma pode unir duas almas desencontradas... e ficar por aí.

VOLTAR A VER - creio que não, mas não recusaria se alguém me convidasse

NO GERAL - é um romance sem que sinta que realmente há, que serve como um bom entretenimento. Gostei e nada arrependido estou de ter investido o meu tempo no Holo e seus amigos...

How many years should love wait?

It was interesting to watch but, for me, it was too long. The length wasn´t needed.

STORY - The story is kind of cute. Yan Mo is the best student in the school. Qiao Yi is one of the worst. They share the classroom desk and, it seemed, that nothing else had they in common. But, the truth is that they share a lot of things, like feelings for each other, the notion of family, perseverence, honesty and stubbornness that make them grow apart when things got hard for Qiao Yi's family.
Yan Mo is quiet, almost too strange for everyone except Qiao Yi. She is the glue that stick them together and fuels his love. He is patient, he loves silently and is always watching over for her and that is why she will love him, like Nick Cave's song...'till the end of the world.
Her brother and her best friend are also cute. Also Da Chuan and You Mei are nice.
The business, the company has some part in this but it is not very interesting to me.

ACTING - i think the acting is very good for the main characters.

OST - didn't catch my attention but i think it does the job.

REWATCH - No, because is too long and there are better dramas for me.

OVERALL - i liked it. If you are looking for a slow pace love that is it. An odd couple that function well together...but still strange for me...

10 stars? Did i miss part of my brain?!

I don't understand the movie, I don't understand some comments, such as the movie being special, that their chemistry was excellent, giving butterflies, etc.
How is it possible to break up and drift apart for such stupid reasons... It doesn't make any sense, only with a lobotomy, whether from writers or actors.
The editing is terrible, we don't understand the accident that enclosed it.
In the final scenes, why does she runs away and where is she going?!?!
And what a ridiculous end is that? She hears his name and goes after him?!?!
How crazy. Honestly, I don't understand the ratings being so high, especially the 10!!!!

As the lyrics of "Total Recall" by The Sound say (great song!)...

"Oh there must be a hole in your memory
But I can see
I can see, a distant victory
A time when you will be with me"

Maybe they should have tuned this song...

I will NEVER see this movie again, just as a way to get revenge on my neurons...



Não entendo o filme, não percebo alguns comentários, como por ecemplo o filme ser especial, que a química dos dois era excelente, etc.
Como é possível terminar e se distanciarem por motivos tão estúpidos... Não faz sentido nenhum, só mesmo com uma lobotomia, quer dos escritores, quer dos atores.
A edição é péssima, não entendemos o acidente que enclausurou.
Nas cenas finais, ela foge porquê e para onde?!?!
E que fim ridículo é aquele? Ela ouve o seu nome e sai atrás dele?!?!
Que loucura. Sinceramente, não entendo as classificações tão boas, especialmente os 10!!!!

Como diz a letra de "Total Recall" do grupo The Sound (excelente canção!)...

"Oh there must be a hole in your memory
But I can see
I can see, a distant victory
A time when you will be with me"

Talvez devessem ter sintonizado esta música...

NUNCA reverei este filme, só mesmo como forma de me vingar dos meus neurónios...

The beginning is one of the best!!!

I rewatch it a month ago...
I enjoyed it more because i knew what was coming.
The story is interesting, the separated lovers and the endlessly effort to reunite. I didn't like the plolitics, wish it has more "hospital" time, more interesting ways of showing the awesome skills of Park Hoon.

A little long to me, could be cut to 10 or 12 episodes.

I think the end is ok, a little rushed for me.
I don't understand Park Hoon decision of living in a remote place and a remote hospital Is he going to waste his ans Hang Seung Hee skills?

I was completely addicted in the first 8 to 10 episodes! But after that, they did dragged a little: don't understand the 16 episodes formula. Few dramas deserve so many episodes and most of them tend to drag the story.

Overall, this could be a master piece but it fail to deliver...

But, if you like beautiful and true love, a plot with lots of twists and mistery, great moments of suspense, excitement, specially in the O.R., them please watch it!

Awful as romance; little better as historical - péssimo romance e pouco melhor como histórico

What's this drama about?
If it's based on a love story between Saimdang and Lee Gyeom, the story is horrible. It begins with a beautiful love affair between both. They swear happiness and you can see an extreme empathy, a deep knowledge of the other. Two creators wrapped in love. But...
Saimdang is a woman who, due to an unconscious error with a painting condemns her father to the death and the man who loves her to a life of suffering and loneliness. She marry a stingy, stupid, unfaithful man with all the flaws of the assholes. She even lives with her children and him and his mistress in the same house... Saimdang has four children who loves and educates them exemplarily. Her struggle and life is amazing, except for what she provoked in the man who loved her throughout her life as an adult. She will abandoned the man who did and does everything for her, who condemned himself to death for her, who supported her and saved her countless times and stay with her children (of course) and her disabled husband. Apparently, she apologizes to her husband for having married without love and with an ignorant (as if he did not know and was not common at that time...). Moreover, she still says that a man who spends all the money on drink and women, who gets a job without deserving it (due, there it is, to Gyeom) who is unfaithful, etc. is a good father. Apparently, for her, being a good father is playing games with her children, having fun with others, not working or studying and having no responsibility. After all, being responsible is only for the mothers, in her opinion.
Therefore, despite condemning Gyeom to eternal suffering, she still sends him to Italy because he will be an artist to be remembered and praised for centuries... It reminds me of Goethe's book, Werther, which made many men commit suicide out of love. So, we see the story happen: she is happy with her children, in her Korea, with her friends and family... And the man who loves her is creating works in Europe, pieces of art that overflow with suffering and hurtful love. We already know that being happy doesn't provoke the same creativity... the artist suffers but the rest of the world will contemplate his work. And the creator, sad and suffering lives in her shadow, looking at the moon, without the wing given to his beloved, broken in his suffering body.
Gyeom has bad luck at the same time: having fallen in love with Saimdang and that Choi Whieum Dang has fallen in love with him. And is life is to suffer...
We still think they can meet in a future life. The drama made me have that assumption and Saimdang still thinks that. However, at the end of the story we still realized that she has reached... success, living well with family. And he's photographing her from a distance...
For that reason, I believe that Gyeom, in a past life, must have slaughtered thousands, no! Millions of people for sure!! And of those, the whole family of Saimdang. And she will swear at that time to revenge them! And how did she get revenge!

If drama is seen as history...
Interesting the part of paper creation, the shape and techniques of painting, painting as an extension of words and poetry. Dramas have often portrayed the King as an imbecile with persecution complex, a patriarchal and unjust society. Minor plots, a woman that loves a man and wants to destroy him… There, Saimdang and Gyeom are exemplary in their conduct. And they have the fruit of their labor? Noooooooo! She raises her children in harmony and in the arts and he gradually fade in misery, unearthed in Italy. I didn't even know there was an Italy in Joseon era, but it looks like Seo Ji Yoon knew.
I will never review this drama, for my masochistic part was left in Bologna. The interesting thing is that Saimdang was a real fantastic woman and here she is not portrayed this way. But it's my fault, because I really wanted Gyeom to have a slice of happiness beyond Mount Geumgang... But the drama is about her...

The parts of the present are boring, the connection of Saimdang and Seo Ji Yoon seems stupid and meaningless, even more knowing that nothing will happen in the future with the photographer, Gyeom reincarnation ...



De que se trata este Drama?

Se for com base na história entre a Saimdang e o Lee Gyeom a história é horrível.

A história começa com um lindo romance de amor entre os dois. Juram felicidade e nota-se uma empatia extrema, um conhecimento profundo do outro. Dois criadores envoltos em amor. Mas…
Saimdang é uma mulher que, devido a um erro inconsciente dela com uma pintura condena o pai à morte e o homem que a ama a uma vida de sofrimento e solidão. Casa com um homem mesquinho, estúpido, infiel e com todos os defeitos dos imbecis. Até chega a viver com ele e a amante dele em sua casa…Tem 4 filhos que ama e os educa exemplarmente. A sua luta e vida é exemplar, exceto no que ela provocou no homem que a amou durante toda a sua existência como adulto.
Troca o homem que fez e faz tudo por ela, que se condenou à morte por ela, que a apoiou e a salvou incontáveis vezes pelos filhos e pelo marido deficiente. Pelos vistos, pede desculpa ao marido por se ter casado sem amor e com um ignorante (como se ele não soubesse e não fosse comum naquela época…). Além disso, ainda diz que um homem que gasta o dinheiro todo em bebida e mulheres, que arranja um emprego por favor (devido, lá está, ao Gyeom) que é infiel, etc. é um bom pai. Pelos vistos, para ela, ser bom pai será fazer umas brincadeiras com os filhos, divertir-se com outras e não ter nenhuma responsabilidade. Afinal, ser responsável é só para as mães, no entender dela.
Assim sendo, apesar de condenar Gyeom ao eterno sofrimento, ainda se sente mal e o manda para Itália porque ele será um artista a ser falada por séculos… Faz-me lembrar o livro de Goethe, o Werther, que fez muitos homens se suicidarem por amor. Assim sendo, vemos a história acontecer: ela feliz com os filhos, na sua Coreia, junto aos amigos e família… E o homem que a ama encontra-se a criar obras na Europa, peças de arte que transbordam sofrimento e desamor. Já sabemos que estarmos felizes não provoca a mesma criatividade… Que se lixe o artista, pois o resto do mundo contemplará a sua obra. E o criador, triste e em sofrimento vive na sombra dela, olhando para a lua, sem a asa dada à sua amada, quebrada no seu corpo sofrido.
Gyeom tem dois azares: ter-se apaixonado pela Saimdang e que a Choi Whieum Dang se tenha apaixonado por ele. E a sua vida é sofrer…
Ainda pensa poder se reunir com ela numa vida futura. Saimdang ainda pensa isso. Contudo, no final da história ainda nos apercebemos que ela alcançou… o sucesso, vivendo bem com a família. E ele a fotografá-la à distância…
Por esse motivo, acredito que Gyeom, numa vida passada, deve ter chacinado milhares, não! Milhões de pessoas de certeza!! E dessas, toda a família da Saimdang que jurará nessa altura vingança! E como se vingou!!

Se o drama for visto como história…
Interessante a parte da criação do papel, a forma e técnicas da pintura, a pintura como extensão das palavras e da poesia. Temos sempre retratado o Rei como um imbecil com complexo de perseguição, uma sociedade patriarcal e injusta. Aí, Saimdang e Gyeom são exemplares na sua conduta. E têm o fruto do seu trabalho. Ela cria os filhos na harmonia e nas artes e ele desfaz-se aos poucos, desterrado em Itália. Nem sabia que naquela época havia uma Itália, mas parece que a Seo Ji Yoon sabia.
Nunca reverei este drama, pois a minha parte masoquista ficou também em Bolonha. O mais interessante é que Saimdang foi uma mulher fantástica e aqui é retratada desta maneira. Mas a culpa é minha, pois realmente queria que Gyeom tivesse um rasgo de felicidade além do monte Geumgang… Mas o drama é sobre ela…

As partes do presente são aborrecidas, a ligação das suas mulheres parece-me estúpida e sem sentido, ainda mais sabendo que nada se passará no futuro com o fotógrafo…

Cute story but boring and confused

Well, i love happy endings and romance and that kept me going...

PLOT - not very interesting but maybe it portrait the preconceptions of a society based in hold and unffair values. The murders were unnecessary for me and very boring. Like they want to give some suspense and mystery...didn't work for me... The murder was as awful as that part of the plot. And how can anyone tried to help Heung Shik, when they know (or supposed to acknowledge) that he knew about his father's homicides...
But, the problem is the lack of consistency of most of the characters, like a strong and powerfull Dong Baek that is always crying or a group of women (that behave in a stupid, traditional and very hurtful way with an orfan and single mother) that treated her like family in the end.

CHARACTERS -
Dong Baek is a strong and independent beautiful woman that should be portrait like that. She raised her kid alone, she is an entrepreneur and lots of guts. She manage to stay positive and a beautiful soul that helps everyone.
Yong Shik was sillier than i want him to be. He was annoying sometimes and i think he could be a positive, supporting and free spirit boyfriend without being, sometimes, portrait as a silly and dumb guy.
Jong Ryul family was boring and i can't understand why he says that he was very imature and young with 27 years old, when she, who was kept invisible by Jong, abandoned him. He was selfish, self centered, even more when he wanted to take his son from her mother. His wife Jessica and their marriage was laughable.
Hyang Mi was an interesting woman, made cold and pragmatic by the hardships she endured. Wish there was a better development of her character and that she wasn't portrait like she was in the relationship with her stupid brother. Liked her relationship with Dong Baek.
Gyu Tae and his wife Ja Young had some strange chemistry but it kind of worked. He was funny and delusional but a nice person, i guess, and she was a strong and alpha female wife.
Duk Soon was a character that i don't understand. She suffer almost the same as Dong Baek and still treats her like venom or a disease.
Pil Goo is as selfish as a 8 year boy should be. He is strong and protective towards his mother. He seems like an adult sometimes with, of course, behavior of a ignorant child as he should be! Like it!
Jung Sook was Dong Baek mother who abandoned her. Her past is like a mystery (don't know why there is a "daughter" that appear and then disappear). She goes to say goodbye but ends up redeeming herself. Fortunately i had a happy childhood so i can't say if her relationship with her daughter makes sense...

ACTING - despite some of the characters weren't interesting for me, i thing the actors and actresses made a very good job. Most of them, anyway.

OST - don't remember so it was not very good for me.

REWATCHABLE - No, never. I was rooting for Baek and Shik but his silliness and her cry made the romance fade away for me and seemed like it was more of supporting than romantic feelings...

SUMMING UP - i think i watched too many kdramas to like this one as much as i wanted. Far better dramas than this one for me, even though i think Gong Hyo Jin, Oh Jung Se or Kim Sun Young are very good at acting...

Too long and lot of loose ends

Started very good. I was excited for each episode wondering what did happen in the beginning of the story but...

ML had a friend that married his ex-wife. Why did she betrayed him? How does that happen and why? Then he marries a stupid woman. Even worse.
His friend seemed a bad person, Stoke the wife, winning to her and... So bad.
Those stories remained unanswered.

The FL was very beautiful and nice. But the writers thought that she could be useless and cried a lot.

The villain (was there any?) Is boring. Did all those awful things because of pride? What did his son do except cheating on his friend and tell him that in his face? What a lousy ex wife she was...

The ending? How can a game restart after correcting only some mistakes. Wasn't Marco one of them?

I don't want coherence in a Syfy story. But I want coherence in the relationships of the characters...

Flashbacks... Don't understand why some dramas are so long and use lots of unnecessary flashbacks. I think the viewers are not Stupid. Well, that may be not true since there are reviews of 1 to 10 stars...

ACTING - good

OST - Flamengo is always nice

PLOT - bad characters development and explanations
Will never REWATCH IT.

Fantastic accent by Park Shin-hye! She is great!
