The bumbling idiot & the not-so-icy-queen

Oh the plot thickens! Tae Kang is such a bumbling idiot I can't even describe it; yet he's so adorably endearing that I don't want to hold it against him! I feel as though Jang Woo overacts at times though. Ji An definitely is an ice queen, but I loved seeing the cracks in her supposedly solid armor in this episode; I like how she finally appears human, and I loved seeing her display some raw emotion.



I think we may have finally seen the beginnings of a love line between our 2 leads in this episode, but it's a barely-there-blink-and-you'll-miss-it kinda love. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up feeling sorry for the Doc, he seems to be smitten with Ji An.



But I feel as though the drama is moving a little fast, I hope they have content worthy of 16 episodes ^^

Best ending EVER!

Dude the killer just walked up in there & introduced himself. Epic ending. I was wondering where they would go w/ this episode to continue the story but damn rly! That was awesome. He totally just looked them in the eye and said HI! I can not wait to see what happens next. I am looking forward to what might happen next.



Ok so this had some sweetness to it also. Meeting the father & son of his friend. Now he is kinda getting an idea of why his friend did what he did. We will end up loving Kim Woo Hyun's original character along w/ his new Park Gi Young type personality.



I wonder if "new" Kim Woo Hyun & Yoo Gang Mi will end up having a thing. I also wonder if he is actually going to tell his friend's father & son that "old" Kim Woo Hyun is dead??? So many ?'s! Next episode plz!

Can A Better Ending...

...be found in a drama? I don't think so. Episode 16, like all others in QIHM, gripped me to its final breath and breathless kiss.



I'm so happy our couple got their happy ending. I also loved that kiss--seriously, Boong-Do and Hee-Jin continue to set the high bar on drama kisses. If you thought the last STEAMY kiss was steamy, it had nothing on that final kiss!!!!!!



Both Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na should be commended for their great chemistry. I really hope to see them act together in the future...or at least, be a real couple! Ji Hyun Woo--fighting!!



This show will be one that gets a 10 from me, which is really rare but well-deserved.

Awesome!

I just loved the fact that they switched again "the memory lost" thingy... besause first was him who forgot everything and HJ was the one who was suffering about if he was really a dream or not... and now the writter made a twist in the story, so he was able to remind her and she was able to keep going with her life, but there is point when the love cant be erased and all the memories came back to HJ and all that love that she has was so pure and true so I think love can transcends time and space and the phone was like HJ's Talisman, because when she first bought the cell she was so happy and the love was 100% on it. Ohhh well but I'm really happy with the ending was good, indeed really good...

I totally did not see that coming!

It surprised me to find out that Lee Kang To is the "Young Master" she has been looking for. OMG! They r throwing a lot out there in the these 4 episodes. I am rly excited to see what is going to happen in the next 20. I like this drama b/c it is not easy to figure out. It is very interesting & exciting at the same time b/c of all the action.



I'm not sure if I care too much for the slow motion parts, but I am totally digging this drama. So, it's ok for now but it might get old a little later.

Is he going to find out????

Rly this drama is freaking awesome! I am having love/hate feelings towards Lee Kang To's character. He is showing us the best of both worlds when it comes to being who u rly r and who u have to be at work/in public.



I just have to get to the next episode b/c that ending is not fair! How can they end the episode like that???

Gyun Joon!!

This episode was pretty good.

We get more background story on our big boy ;) and Im loving that. As he is really the main character, no matter who is playing him (Shin Won Ho as a teen, or Gong Yoo as an "adult") we don't need to know much about the real Seo Yoon Jae for now, just what's necessary to make the comparisons between him and Gyun Joon. Which brings me to say, its a really well written character. Based on what we learned of his past, his actions now make lots of sense, and why he would be so cynical its not just because he is an arrogant teen.

I thought the transformation was done well. Gong Yoo is able to act out the teen Gyun Joon, and show us bits of what Shin Won Ho did with the character in episode one. I totally buy they are the same person in different bodies.

This episodes theme was more directed towards the comedic act, imagine you suddenly wake up with the body of a man in his late 20s or early 30s when you are only 18. No matter how serious and reserved you were before, you will want to take advantage of the situation and venture into the world of freedom as teens live under many rules, especially the no alcohol one ;)

I think the episode was pretty good, we also got some answers of the relationship between Seo Yoon Jae and his coworker. Next episode should be interesting. ^^

Budding Romance with just the right amount of comedy

I love the Doc; he's petty, knows how to make people laugh, and he's the best medicine to Hang Ji An's frigid exterior. Ji An is still pretty much bad ass, and boy does she command respect in her company! Our adorable lead sadly has to go through some good ol' newbie bullying; but I love how he takes everything with a smile, forever aiming to please.



I really like where this story is heading, and I cannot wait for the 4th episode subs to come out. The ending of this episode put a big goofy smile on my face; definitely gonna suffer from second lead syndrome >

Total satisfaction ^_^

Aaah~~ I love this drama SO MUCH!!! MUCH MORE that Rooftop Prince! The ending is more satisfying for me!!



First of all, everybody?s saying ?his phone was alive a whole year?? people, it wasn?t alive, it was DEAD all the time, how do you imagine a phone working in Joseon??? Remember when he suddenly disappeared in the 15th episode??? He tried to make a call, but the phone wouldn?t turn on! So basically if it would have to be turned on, its battery would be in full action? ^^



Then I read about the nonsensical ?the-phone-became-the-talisman? ending? Hey, guys, remember? We were watching a fantasy drama (the key word being FANTASY)? and it left me with my imagination to deal with it, here is what I came up with? the thing is, it was not about the paper that was holding the power to BoongDu?s travels, but YoonWol?s love and respect for him?so when she died, the power died with her? the same with the phone, as HeeJin remembered him and felt for him again, the power returned, and it doesn?t matter to what object, it could be the necktie, lol?



Everyone can have their theories? as the ending was not as clearly explained as all the drama was?hell with it, I would be happy with a mussier ending? as long as they ended up together?I made my own theory? and I am happy with the ending, I?m gonna rate this drama 9/10!



P.S. What about Ji Hyun Woo confessing to Yoo In Na at the press conference? hehe~ I?m so curious what happened there, so romantic, he has BoongDu air around him ^^



I'll come back with the review of the drama tmrw ^^

I'm gonna miss smarty BoongDu SO MUCH, and HeeJin too... the ONLY heroine who could explain EVERYTHING's meaning by a kiss... Smart girl!



P.P.S I'm sure I'm gonna giggle every time I see a tie on a guy from now on...

That is what I call a damn good first episode.

Well... this first episode takes a 10+ from me. It was excellent. I never thought I could be so pulled into a story from the very first episode ever since Deep Rooted Tree.

The first episode of a drama should be able to compile all the emotions of the entire story, so that the viewer is left wanting to feel that for the next 16-20 episodes (as many as there is).

Big's first episode was able to capture from the start. It was cute and funny, but not overly done so that it would annoy you. In mid episode it gives a climatic moment, not to bore you with the romance/comedy, they throw you a dramatic scene and it happens to be the key to the whole story. At the end, it leaves you with question/s like all endings should do in order to hook in for more.

I hope it continues like this, but as far as how the other episodes should go I wont be picky as this one was amazingly well done, and Im in for the long run with this drama.

I LOVED IT!!

I LOVED IT!! Never been so happy in my life finally Hee Jin and Boong Do get their perfect ending, although it would have been even more perfect if we got to see some mini Boong Dos and Hee Jins but never mind. I loved the parallel time thing goes so well with the OST, same sky different times. That part where Hee Jin was standing with Boong Do at the same place but different times really hit me! She could still feel his presense, that my friend is LOVE!! Although I dont really understand how he got back to modern times, I'm not going to complain aha! That EPICALLY AWESOME KISS was totally worth all the angony and heartbreaks this drama has put me through :D!!

Was kind of a let down after episode 2

The only saving grace for this episode was I was glad to see that So Ji Sub's character did change from the stiff one and reflected more of the Daniel Choi's character. Well Done! It at least made me believe that it was a different person. What I did not like was the jumping around and fitting in so many murders into one episode! I was incredibly lost for a few moments. I might have to watch again before I watch episode 4!

I feel asleep

I did not feel that it held the excitement of the last two episodes. I felt like "Why am I watching this?" constantly. I even fell asleep a couple of times. Believe me, if its interesting, I will not fall asleep. I've marathon watched too many dramas to know that is a fact. I am becoming confused with the blind date/younger guy interest. Usually these story lines bore me which might explain why I fell asleep when I did. This was not a great episode. Here's hoping episode 4 picks up!

still going strong

I don't understand how they can be so lackadaisical about Mok Dan getting the crap beat out of her. I really expected Shunji to go off on Kang To, but nothing. Of course, I guess she would have just gotten caught again and this way Shunji will know what Kang To is thinking.



Can't wait til the next episode!!!
