i still prefer Eternal Love over this. not much of a chemistry between the two main characters, yin xue and lie ru ge.
worth watching but not worth re-watching. credits to vic zhou, hes hot! after all these years he still has that familiar smirk back in meteor garden days. i would love to see him opposite yang mi *wishful thinking*

Realistic & touching
I hardly write reviews but I feel this drama is too underrated and doesn't do it justice. The stories that happened in the hospital and the characters are realistic and often touching and the acting of the 3 leads are fantastic. It reminds me of ER somewhat but it focuses on cardiology and 3 people, their growth, their change, their bond in the hospital. Story moves along much better than a lot of costume or profession cdramas or and it is perfectly cast. I dropped a lot before about firefighters, pilots, lawyers, businessmen because they are just not up to par or at all interesting but this one I think it's very well made and written.Was this review helpful to you?
The acting was really phenomenal, the female lead was amazing at portraying the development of her character. The movie was really nicely put together, it was more emotional than I was expecting a unique short movie about loneliness

But there were a lot of good moments in the show, despite its flaws. I really enjoyed watching Ga-rin and Choi-hun's romance develop, which was surprising considering that I didn't care much for their storyline in the first season.
Also I don’t know how many people care about things like cinematography, but wow this show never fails to impress me with their cinematography. Every single scene is well-thought-out and looks beautiful. As for the acting, I was genuinely impressed with all of the characters’ acting this season. While the first season was decent, I think this season had many more dramatic and crying scenes that the cast was able to showcase their abilities so well. Especially Jin Young and Ji Soo (who plays Do-hyun and Tae-o respectively) because you can see how raw and realistic both of their “angsty” scenes were.
The most underwhelming and disappointing part of this season was the pacing and particularly the ending of the show. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the ending felt somewhat rushed and I felt a lot of the previous 7 episodes was focused on the new storylines they added, when it could’ve been spent exploring Tae-o, Song-i, and Do-hyun’s feelings and thoughts a lot more (especially Song-i’s feelings).
As for the pacing, (this is kind of nit-picky) at the end of some of the episodes I sat there thinking, “Wait they’re bringing up this [insert important storyline event] now when theres only 2 episodes left?!” So it felt rushed, even though I knew those storyline events were important to the plot and added to the romance aspect.
For people concerned about 2nd lead syndrome, yes most likely you will have it, no matter if you are rooting for Tae-o to get the girl or Do-hyun. Even though there were obvious concerns with this season, when you look at the drama as a whole, it’s light-hearted, realistic, and extremely enjoyable. It’s a great show to sit and binge-watch and is one of those dramas that lifts your mood up. Personally, it scores very high compared to other dramas I watch because it’s engaging and every scene is vital and not “filler” scenes.
Anyway, if you’re contemplating watching this after finishing the first season, please give it a try. Also because it’s 8 hours of your life, and you already spent 8 hours watching the first season.

I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version
18 people found this review helpful
Best BL ever!
I Feel You Linger in the Air is the best bl I've ever watched. Everything from the plot to acting to music is A++. The lanthom ost always makes me cry and the jomkwan ost is so sweet.I think this show has the best acting I've seen in a BL. I knew Nonkul was good actor already but was skeptical about Bright. Now Bright Rapheephong has become one of my all time favs. His microexpressions are so good and so believable as a 20 year old boy living in the 1920s.
I feel like this show would get more popular if it aired at a different time. Most people were too invested in only friends and dangerous romance airing around the same time. Could also be because of Youku being the streaming platform. For interfans (other than the US) the series is available for free on youtube - Uncut and TV version. Please go make this series more popular so that we can get a season 2 TT

It's not the best or amazing but it's hilarious!!
Let me tell you first thing if you are looking for some strong story, melodrama, a typical historical genre then this is not right place to find.... it's something that will make you laugh...laugh hard and laugh harder..It's one the most hilarious shows I've ever watched, many times comedy dramas start well and then they lose the track of comedy but it's not happening here I enjoyed last ep as much as I enjoyed last episode.
It's really light, sweet and funny show definitely ease your mind even you don't get anything from it rather than being entertained...and it's sometimes okay than watching all serious and intense stuff that makes your mind all mess.
I really liked the acting specially male lead did great job, even he's character was full of himself but I never found it irritating yet it was adorable and funny... many things don't make sense in show but it's okay to ingore them...
In things like story, cinematography, execution the show is quite a mess... but it's totally worth watching... it's something that will put smile on your face:))

The teacher was so creepy but charming! I loved his character, even though I also wanted to stay very far away from him and protect the students from him. I really enjoyed this drama and even though the ending was a TINY bit predictable, I would still rewatch this one if I wanted a bit of creepy to liven up my night :DI liked the acting, and they behaved pretty much appropriately for high school kids. Making mistakes, dealing with insecurity, putting up a front to cover up insecurity, all things I did in school and can relate to.
I don't know if this counts as spoilers but if it does I'm very sorry! This next part I really, really liked and wanted to talk about so I tried to keep it vague.

The third girl was my favorite, the writer. She wrote her fantasy, something I think all of us has done before and then realized how horrible it is in real life to have that kind of person with you. It says a lot about YA romance and how the perfect guy is sold to us in those types of books and tv shows. It also shows how much she doesn't know about writing characters that have more depth than the shallow, shiny parts. I feel like if I had seen something like this when I was 14, I wouldn't have had such crazy expectations in high school. I partially blame hormones and the fact guys at that age were annoying as heck, but I wasted too much time trying to be perfect so I could 'earn' my perfect guy and that just isn't reality. I know now how silly I was, but it was fun to see that in a character on the show.

Your Lighthearted Manga-Adapted Setup…
As a premise ‘ Komi-San Can’t Communicate’ ( alternatively known as Komi-San Wa, Komuyoshu Desu’ or ‘ 古見さんは、コミュ症です。’ ) is a fairly heartwarming setup. Based upon the manga of the same name, having spawned an anime also and adapted to the small screen by screenwriter Mizuhashi Fumie, ‘ Komi-San Can’t Communicate’ tells the tale of a high school student who aims to be “ average” , Tadono Hitohito ( played in the drama by Masuda Takahisa), who ends up unusually befriending popular girl Komi Shouko ( Ikeda Elaiza). Despite appearances, Komi struggles with verbal communication and therefore due to having select mutism, has to write down everything she wants to say on a notepad. She enlists the help of Tadono to help her make her goal of having 100 friends ( due to having none) a reality.
However with a sweet and heartwarming premise and more than 23 volumes of manga to execute into a space of eight episodes, it was evident that Mizuhashi would be very restricted towards which storyline elements to follow and cut out. On the other hand even with its short duration length, ‘ Komi-San Can’t Communicate’ often felt as though it missed out on more nuanced opportunities to explore characters, relationships and also plot without having to lean heavily upon certain tropes and comedy in between.
As far as the acting is concerned ‘ Komi-San Can’t Communicate’ is admittedly a mixed-bag. Of course this isn’t to downgrade the actors themselves as individuals, but their performances and line deliverances could admittedly come across as slightly over-the-top and exaggerated rather than feeling comically-timed or dynamic. ( Naturally this is also down to the problem of the script’s dialogue also.)
The characters are specifically there to serve a purpose throughout the show and this does come off with differing results. As the main lead Tadono Hitohito is arguably a slight anomaly; whilst the drama ( similar to previous counterparts) uses his surname for comical motives ( I.e. Hitohito being taken from the Japanese expression;” tada no hito (ただの人)”, meaning “just some guy”) , he is undeniably an intriguing character ( against his own motives). Tadono embodied a trait which is often overlooked in male leads and that is empathy. The male lead can
read people like a book giving him a sweeter note and pick up on Komi- San’s feelings easily.. However instead of presenting the “ inner Tadono” for comical scenes to voice his inner-thoughts and feelings, Tadono lacked a lot more character drive than his previous counterparts. Whilst it was played off for a comical reason it felt odd that the drama didn’t touch upon the reasons behind his choice to become “ normal” as well as his family. Even touching upon these motives and characters briefly would’ve given Hitohito a sense of being more than just a plot device to keep the storyline moving alongside his “ potential chemistry” with Komi.
The romantic factor between both characters is admittedly more “ hinted at” throughout the show than prominent.
Then of course there’s Komi Shouko. Shouko is a really sweet female lead and stands out against the typical two tropes of being “ aloof and cold” as well as “ loud and vivacious” by her introverted nature and social embarrassment. Her ability to make unlikely friendships with Hitohito alongside kindhearted and lonely gyaru Manbagi Rumiko( Yoshikawa Ai) did seem to prove that her intentions were good. However similar to Tadono, Komi often struggled with having more subtle character background. For example there’s the issue with Shouko being perceived as “popular”. Whilst it may have come across as Shouko being “ unapproachable” and “ pretty”, this also raises questions as to how Shouko did not isolate herself socially, or became a victim of bullying by standing out. Naturally whilst it is based upon a manga and more exaggerated tropes are executed into reality, it felt odd we weren’t given opportunities to explore more about how she’s perceived as being popular, Shouko’s reasons for not talking as well as any possible links to her childhood or family interactions to provide clues.
The comedy in the show is admittedly over-the-top. Whilst this isn’t entirely bad per say and the drama does odd a surprisingly lighthearted and sweet moment between Hitohito and Katai Makoto ( Mizobata Junpei- who is cut out of the show after his initial use) ‘s friendship, as well as the attempted “ cool” persona put on by his replacement Naruse Shisuto ( Shirota Yu), it’s easy to understand how this may not appeal to everyone, as more subtle and intertwined comedy is often less common to find throughout the drama.
The ending admittedly has its flaws and strengths also; whilst it did add a sweeter note and help to clarify something important for Komi, it left off with more questions than answers. Of course cliffhangers aren’t necessarily bad per say in dramas, but the abruptness of this ending without wrapping up our other side characters felt a little odd and lacking within character direction.
So is ‘ Komi-Sam Can’t Communicate’ actually worth watching or should you just skip it? The acting front admittedly isn’t the strongest and whilst respectfully members of the cast have had better performances, it doesn’t necessarily take away from the fact that the drama is sweet and lighthearted. The basic trope executed of “ high school friendship tale” isn’t necessarily original, however, characters do surprisingly grow on you throughout the show. Admittedly a lot of these characters alongside the comedy and due to air time often felt a little bland with those expecting a dynamic love story between Komi and Tadono possibly being disappointed. On the other hand for those just wanting a drama in order to cheer-up or looking for something to quickly binge-watch, then ‘ Komi-San Can’t Communicate’ is worth watching.

But other than it being disturbing af it's a masterpiece regardless. It truly explores human psychology and how different individuals deals with trauma, sexual trauma to be more precise.
The movie doesn't shy away from exploring such heavy and sensitive topics. It shows graphic rape scenes that were just too disturbing to watch but you also are curious to what will happen next.
Basically, as you might've read in the synopsis, the movie is about a guy finding out that the girl he has a crush on is being raped by her "friends" , he doesn't know how to react to that news but he nevertheless talks about it to her and he finds out that the girl despite getting
hurt is apparently ok with it since they are her friends and they consider rape as " just playing" but how can she be ok with it ? So he tells this whole thing to the only trustworthy teacher, our da Jun and he takes the case in charge but little did he knew that the truth is far more cruel than he thought.
Other than it showcasing things about sexual abuse so well, another thing that I loved about it was it's realistic portrayal of deaf kids and how society either shows prejudice or sympathy to them most of the time rather than empathy or help that they have to stay silent.
I feel like the movie does so well without having much dialogues in it. Most of the main characters are deaf from birth so they use sign language to talk to each other and literally the movie barely has any dialogues and I feel like that also helps in creating the eerie atmosphere in the movie plus it's done so well that you don't even realize the has little to no dialogues.
The acting is done effortlessly well that you don't feel the need for the movie to have dialogues plus subtitles are there to help you understand what they are saying by the sign language communication.
You rarely sees movies or stories from the eyes of someone who can't hear and speak but the movie does an incredible job in pulling that off.
Another thing that I loved about it is the poetic cinematography. Some scene/shots feel like they are trying to say something to the viewers. The atmosphere is really created in a way that gives you an eerie kinda feeling and the cinematography helps in keeping that atmosphere.
Now let's talk about my most favourite thing about this movie and it's how no one is a villian in here. The movie is a psychological one and like I said above that it explores sexual abuse in a very deep way. The movie blurs the line between the evil and good because everyone is a victim and everyone is the perpetrator in this movie.
Yes I hated Xiao gaung, the main "bad guy" in the movie in the beginning but I also cried buckets for him and I also know that a lot of other people did too. Cuz the movie and the characters are THAT complex.
Most of the movies that talk about abuse goes like this - ML ( it's always a guy idk why ) finds about abuse, reports to police, fights the villian/s and happy ending but in reality it's not that simple. Abuse specially sexual is not that simple. It makes you feel that your body is tainted and can also turn you into a monster yourself ( although not always the case but it happens, I've seen it happen. )
The movie goes deep into the mind of the "mastermind", why is he like this ? Why is he a monster ? Are monsters born or made ? According to the movie, monsters are clearly MADE and I agree but what do you think ? Watch the movie and tell me do you think they deserve punishment ? Do you think this will ever stop ?
The movie is a masterpiece and although after reading this blog you may have gotten an idea of the whole plot and I basically told you what happened in the real life and you might be thinking that it's no use to watch the movie since you're already spoiled. Don't think so. Watch the movie right now! It's just so needed and awesome! It's not the plot of the movie that makes it amazing, it's the execution of it! So go watch it now !

How difficult is to find happiness if you follow society expectations.
This drama is focused in an ambitions woman, and is all about society expectations. If you expect a drama fast paced, or a drama all about love then don't watch it.I consider this drama created, produced and focused mostly in adults that try to make their way into society but about being happy, and when I talk about adults I mean 21+ because of the story.
Yes this drama is a feminist and is about a woman, but is not only about her, let me explain:
1. Here we have the guys that just finished college and want to get a stable job, but then if you do that you'll have to decide between your own happiness or financial stability, and believe me you'll relate!
The anxiety that comes in the last years of college and the so many existencial questions: what are you gonna do with your life? Are you disappointing your parents? Are you gonna live poor? Are you gonna be unhappy just in order to live? Are you following your dreams? Are you actually living????? (We've all lived that phase and is hell).
However, not all is hell in that time, if you've your friends and they support you, if you get a good boss, if you are able to actually talk to your parents and if they listen to you, then, the outcome is magical, and that is why I loved the relationships in this drama, the friendship, the portrayal of family.
2. We also have the parents and I love how we got the characters development. We all need friends, and even if you are an old grumpy woman you'll get that friend that is able to get you out of your comfort zone. I adore the relationship between the old women, the moms of the main characters, they were so different yet they got along so well and helped each other to get a better point of view in life. (I didn't like them all the time but loved them at the end)
3. Family is... complicated, specially your in laws. Are you supposed to follow what they say just because you are married? Are you supposed to forget about yourself just because your husband? Or just because you are a woman? This drama is not only about the problem and is also about the solution and if you love someone, they will understand.
4. Society sucks, yes, it sucks, but is because of the traditional way of thinking, the hypocrisy, the judgement towards the different, and prejudice. However, is up to you. Do you wanna play along with what they say or do you wanna be a rebel? Keep in mind that what they say hurts and is just as complicated as humans and relationships.
5. But, what I truly love about this drama is that they teach you how you can actually do things right. Being a rebel is not just about who yells better, or a pacifoc protest. Is actually about changing the other person and the way they think. Is about proving your value in the most appropriate way so the others will notice who you truly are and what you can do.
6. And FINALLY... the older woman/younger man relationship. You will love the leads, the woman is an ambitious woman. But contrary to many didn't forget about her dreams in order to get to the too, yes, she loves astronomy but she is too ambitious for that. What she really wanted was a luxurious life that she got on her own by being in the top of her field. And I love her.
She could get a rich man but she didn't. She could be a trophy wife but she didn't. She could get simple life but no, she wanted to be in the top without the help of others, not owing anything and always following her values of honesty and respect.
And the ML, he was lovely, a young man, too caring, too good for this world but he wasn't silly. He is smart and he knows what he wants, he won't lose himself for stability, he cares about others but he won't sugar coat or sacrifice himself for that. He knows he is good looking, well spoken and knows what to do with how charming he is.
All in all, if you don't care about slow paced dramas and if you like women of power, this is for you.

In the predictability meter, one would initially rate this very high. I, myself, grinned at how I thought I knew how the story would go. It was constantly light: nothing was totally aggravating nor was there something totally upsetting. One would get pissed at some point, but it'll just be like seeing a poop on your peaceful walk at the park--you see it, not step on it, and just continue walking. Then, you go back to that predictability meter and you'll find it static at 1%. Like, seriously, stop predicting the end and just enjoy the story.
The actors were good. I'm doing this review after watching all three stories, so I have done the "compare and contrast" among the actors. This gave the lightest feel among the three, but that doesn't mean the actors showed an inferior quality of acting. They delivered subtle acting without making me cringe and I think that's a good thing.
I have already watched this thrice and it still gives off that satisfying sigh followed by a lingering smile as the last episode's credit rolls. I don't think that happy aftermath would fade off even when I watch it a few more times. Wait, am I spoiling anything for you? Haha, the question is this... are you sure about your definition of a happy ending?

Where do I start
wow.I have never seen a sequel that was as good as the first season, let me tell you why.
Let's start with the acting.
They could not have chosen better actors for this series. The chemistry between them is immaculate, you can feel it through your screen. You can see their emotions, and you feel with them. When they cry, you cry with them and when they're happy, you're happy for them. Not a lot of actors can make me feel like that.
Then the story...
My favorite BL is I told sunset about you, so I had very high expectations for this sequel, and they did NOT disappoint. In the first season they showed what a gay relationship can really be like, and here they did it again. It started out amazing and my heart was making leaps of happiness, then it took a turn.
The way that it's really displayed how Teh felt and how Oh-Aew felt, wow. When Teh kissed Jai, I was kinda angry, then I started crying when Oh-Aew saw it. It was more than just the producers deciding to put in a storyline about cheating, I understood why Teh did it and how he felt.
They portrayed the relationship, the ups and downs and the love so well this season.
The final episode was so heartwarming. I was so happy when Oh-Aew said that he finally loves himself, I felt really proud. The evolution of his confidence was amazing to me. When he found friends, and when he found his clothing style (which I'm in love with by the way). This was a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved every second of it.
I just want to say that this is definitely a must see, if seen the first season.
Also can we talk about Oh-Aews hair for a bit, cause OMG!
I hope from the bottom of my heart that there will be a special episode (with maybe a wedding???)
I promised you the moon, you did everything but disappoint.

A Deep & Real Look Into the Heart of Cardiology Doctors
First things first, I have to say that I had my doubts when I first heard about this medical drama but that all went away the moment I watched the first episode. I thought it would be another rom-com disguised as a medical drama but it truly is a real medical drama focused on the doctors' and patients' stories and personal growth, while also focusing on the journey of healing. The romance is not a large part of the drama and doesn't overshadow the important story about all the medical staff and patients. It really is what the drama promotes itself as and I really love that. It is no wonder why this drama has such a high rating on China's Douban drama rating site but it is a shame that not more international audiences are watching. It is really a hidden gem!More detail on why this drama is such a great watch:
First, the story! The script was thoroughly written and you can tell that the writers put effort into making sure all the medical procedures and terminology are correctly portrayed. I also saw online and in interviews that the writers spent 2 years working on this script and the main cast spent a month learning relevant cardiology information at a real hospital. The writers also regularly consulted real cardiologists to write the different scenarios with the patients so that they are medically correct and not some plot device. The patient's stories are dramatic but feels like it could happen in real life. As you watch all the surgery and hospital scenes (which is almost 90% of the drama), you can immediately tell that a lot of time was spent on getting everything accurate, whether it is the actors or the set. It is very obvious in every scene in the hospital that there was a good effort put into everything, and that is why the story is even more engaging and real. Even without knowing all that, the patients' stories themselves were heartwarming and touching as well. They manage to make you connect with each patient and get you emotionally attached to them so you can't help but feel anxious, worried, and engaged in each episode. That is how I ended up binging almost 10 episodes in a day because I just couldn't help myself. Not only that, but be prepared to shed tears (lots of tears) as medical dramas always involve talking about life and death :(( I cried multiple times throughout the drama and it still hurts to think about it. Get tissues ready and be prepared to love these patients! However, also be ready to enjoy a good dose of humor at just the right moments! The writers did not forget to add some sunshine in the middle of the heavier topics. Moreover, the story also includes the hospital politics between doctors and also makes you ask questions about a doctor's motivations. The drama really covers all topics related to the doctors and patients in a very fluid and
Next, the actors! I haven't watched Mark Chao since Ten Miles or Mao Xiao Tong since Princess WeiYoung but I know their acting skills so I knew that they would be pretty good. But Jin Shi Jia was a pleasant surprise to see. All three had amazing chemistry together and I really enjoyed all the scenes they had together. I really love the Xiao Feng x Xiao Ran x Lin Yi combo. I could not get enough of their scenes. Whether it is bromance or romance, they pulled it off incredibly! Xiao Feng and Xiao Ran are very cute siblings while Xiao Ran and Lin Yi are adorable bickering. All three actors were convincing in their roles and performed above and beyond in conveying the complex emotions of being a doctor and their character's struggles and backgrounds. I really felt for each of their personal stories, particularly Xiao Feng and Lin Yi. The writers did amazing and fleshing out each character so that you can relate to their decisions and dilemmas. You will find yourself loving each character. The love lines were also nicely done! The coupling between Xiao Ran and Lin Yi felt natural and they are just too shippable. I wish they could have had more sweet scenes. However, I didn't enjoy Xiao Feng and Chen Yue love line as much but it wasn't too bad. I just loved seeing the personal growth of Xiao Feng, Xiao Ran, and Lin Yi in the episodes and I miss them already. The supporting roles all did great as well. They are not well-known actors but they really brought their characters to life, whether they had a lot of screen time or not.
Another thing is the OST, filmography, and sets. The bgm and OST were written beautifully and with deep and relatable lyrics. My heart hurts each time I listen to it yet I can't stop playing it on repeat. The bgm was also nicely composed and played at all the right moments to pull on your heartstrings and make you bawl. It hurts.. :( The director also did great in building the sets and filming the surgeries and hospital. I saw a behind the scene and some of the drama was filmed at a real hospital to make it look more real. I really appreciate the crew's hard work in making every little detail as real as possible. It really made everything feel more real and pull you into the story.
Overall, this drama is a great way to learn more about the cardiology department and about doctors' struggles. For example, I had no idea there were two different departments within cardiology- cardiac and cardiology. So, it was an eye-opening experience to learn about how those two departments work together. The drama does an excellent job at talking about the relationship between doctors and patients, and doctors with doctors themselves. It touches on doctors' career prospects on top of all this as well. Basically, this drama covers so many different aspects in a very real and grounded way. It really makes you ask your heart, or wen xin like the Chinese title says. Please give it a try if you like medical dramas!

The story barely made any sense and even when it did, it left you wondering if perhaps they wrote a little bit of the script and then realized how many plot holes it has and then added onto it, which made it very weirdly paced and mostly mellowed out and too chill for what this was originally supposed to be.
Kudos to Im Joo Hwan, I'm pretty sure that during the airing time of this drama the commentary that I've read both on MDL and other websites pointed out how fond the viewers were of his character and how much we've all been invested in his story from the very start. The other characters, however, were quite bland and felt a little bit like stand-in cardboards for Twilight-ish kinda roles, definitely not that appealing. I did root for the secondary couples, since the main ship had zero chemistry and even the romantic scenes felt awkward to watch most of the time.
The saving grace of this drama is its OST, which I'm sure we'll all remember for quite awhile, it greatly helped in a few moments in the plot where the acting was terrible and the overall musical background to the scenes was well-thought out.
To be honest, the only reason I could watch this through all of its episodes was because I watched only one episode in awhile, and took it as a slow-paced but consistent messy drama that it is. I would definitely never watch it again, but it was surprisingly such a miss in so many aspects that everything lacking did lower its level to a very linear-feeling experience which was, due to its comfortingly non-changing nature, strangely watchable.
If you're here for a supernatural romantic story, go watch something else from the genre. If you're here for a slow-paced, not so serious, modern-setting varation of the original manhwa that you're not gonna binge watch, you might want to try it. It would be very dishonest to recommend this as anything else, so if you want to experience this kind of a story in a proper way and to enjoy some beautiful art and writing in the process, opt for the manhwa instead.

But... Why a 7?
Well, this drama was lacking in one aspect... I think the idea wasn't as well executed as I was waiting it to be. There were some holes in the story and I felt that some twists didn't have enough field to develop, and maybe it was because this was a mini-drama (I consider a mini-drama, anything below 15-16 episodes) Sometimes I also felt that some events were kinda rushed or suddenly introduced into the story, and yes, that's my only complain about this drama. If you are gonna give me a twist or add something to the story please let me see how that has been built previous episodes. Nevertheless, the story manages to keep your attention every episode.
Just to make it clear: I liked the twists and the events, it's just that I wanted to see why that X or Y situation happened.
Said that, this drama is funny, has awesome acting, and the characters were totally lovable, my favorite ones were Jung Woo and the Pink ahjussi ^_^ Great characters. This is very enjoyable, you'll not get bored and you'll have a little bit of everything: romance, action, comedy, thrilling moments, drama and a satisfying ending, and we all know that's very rare to find in dramaland TT_TT so, it's very appreciated. :) Thank you for that ending, writers.
