Yess, that's what I need this year: an adorable rom-com (Kind the Land) and to compensate the overdose of kitsch some walking dead stuff (Zombieverse).
san, determined is also one of my faves! it's been more than a year since i watched this drama and i still listen…
It is hard to move on, isn't it? The unforgettable music is just like the icing on the cake! I honestly don't know how many times I've already rewatched it. Instead of getting bored every time I discover a new detail or catch the meaning of a profound phrase which I didn't grasp before. The whole drama is like an enchanting poem!! ๐ญ
Nam Ji Hyun Oh My Goodness... like I can see that she is not a bad actress but woo that voice ! It is like a hen…
Haha yeah. She is a good actress and it was my first time watching a drama of her; but the voice was super distracting. Couldn't concentrate on the dialogues
The FL is Im Yoona, and like Junho, she's also an idol-actress who's the center, visual, and lead dancer of Girls…
"That piqued my interest even more coz he must've seen something in King The Land's script to choose it over many others." Yes I totally agree! I trust him that he made the right decision to choose this script.
I don't know any works by Yoona but after reading the synopsis of Big Mouth I want to watch it as soon as possible when it is finally available in my region. Yeah, the atmosphere seems to be nice; I've found an instagram page which posts abouts the updates of this drama. Can't wait!!
By the way I didn't know that Yoona is that much popular. LJH has been in the entertainment industry for more than 15 year but he still has only ca. 3 Mio followers on instagram and compared to Yoona this is a little number ๐ค
Rewatched TRS for the nth time. I must say: It's kinda ironic. Double eyelid surgeries are quite popular among East Asian celebrities. And here we have Lee Jun-Ho who obviously didn't undergo such a procedure but still has the most expressive eyes I've ever seen on an Korean actor.
hmmm...i think his acting is very good, he plays his role perfectly
I also thought that his role was really fitting. His handsome looks were a nice mix, neither looked he too old to be a high schooler nor too young to be boyfriend of the FL. The acting was also solid
Watching this I feel old. Seems like a drama for 14years old girls or a movie right out of the disney studio. It is way too sugary and lacks depth. The female lead is too young and has too much makeup- in which world does she look like a guy? Though I am diehard fan of historical dramas and gender bender stories it is hard to continue.
Your comment is beautifully written. I thought I am the only one who enjoyed the drama after reading the comments
There were a few flaws in the plot but overall I agree: the love story (the core of the plot) was beautifully told. And yes it was really refreshing to see such a controversial subject in a drama, which you can often just find in taiwanese or japanese dramas. It's sometimes tiring to see the same boring innocent love stories in which grownups act like children ๐
It was actually pretty good. Some stuff were a little bit ridiculous like both were not expelled immediately for bullying, student-teacher-relationship, etc., and it was quite heavy on various themes just like a soap opera. But the pacing was well done, the story wasn't dragged and you could clearly sense passion between the leads who were pretty charismatic. No wooden acting, characters actually acting according to their age and not trying to be cute, no annoying SFL/SML couples or disappointing/hypocritical censorship. Also the ending was not too cheezy and the intro song really sensual and well fitting.
When San woke up on her leg at the end, he really said the same things he said the first time he woke up on her…
I actually think both versions are possible. The 1st time I watched it I interpreted the ending like a dream (at that time I didn't know that the story based on true events), the 2nd time like their afterlife. Either way in both endings he cherishes more his time with Deok-Im and both are happy being together and it's easier as a viewer to move on from the heartwrenching beginning of the 17th episode...
This drama has aged poorly. I watched it for the first time when I was still in high-school and I was so hooked: instead of studying I was watching the drama late night on my bed and trying hard to not crack up. It was a hilarious and heartwarming romcom with steamy kisses (so unsual for a kdrama at that time!) and a strong female lead. The leads were a weird but strangely endearing couple. I would have given this immediately a 10/10. But now as a grown up I rewatched it and and I couldn't ignore all those flaws in the plot, pace (!!!) and their relationship. Also the OST is way too cheezy. Though I have nice memories with this drama I only recommend it if you have enough free time and a high frustration tolerance.

So I watched the Senorita-performance and I was instantly hooked! The dance was so sensual, full of passion and you could sense that both feel really comfortable with each other. Yoona is also a great dancer (just like LJH). Thanks for the rec; now I can't wait for the drama๐ Did both made this collab because of the upcoming drama? Or was it the opposite and they actually produce this drama because both already know each other?
I also just hope for a charmingly-cliche type romcom like you said. And now I actually think it is a wise decision to choose a more lighthearted drama. LJH's former projects were heavy and for mature viewers. A heartwarming romcom with a star like Yoona will gain him more fans and increase his popularity.
