Comments: Honestly, if scv didnt show this drama, i wouldnt be bothered to watch it over @ youtube. Firstly, the plot didnt interest me. Secondly, the cast was rather mature. Jeon Do Heon & Kim Joo Hyuk were famous for their movies, but i wonder if they could do well in a drama. Well, i was super glad that i gave it a try and watched it faithfully every sat night.
The plot was actually quite interesting and addictive most of the time. Especially loved to see how Jae Hee took the initiative to get close to Sang Hyun. Their chemistry was so good la. It's really interesting to listen to their dialogues and to see their care & concern to each other. Even other small details were so nice & touching too. For eg, the sport shoes they wore in the marathon, the prague dolls, the green tea Sang Hyun grew, the milk he told Jae Hee to drink etc.
Kim Joo Hyuk isnt a handsome lad, but he is attractive in his own way. So is Jeon Do Heon. Saying about Jae Hee, she reminded me of her fashion sense in the drama...very different from other female leads in other dramas lo...esp her victorian style blouses.
I didnt like anything that gotta do with Hye Joo and Young Woo. Sorry for being bias. Kim Min Joon's image was really not handsome leh and i really hated him from ep 13 to ep 16. Hahaha! Why go attempt suicide lo? wanna made Jae Hee so guilty..and the best is he lied that he was deaf after the accident. Really wanna humptump him! Not much comments for Yoon Se Ah. She's alright basically, her character wasnt the evil one, more towards those pitiful roles. I guessed i must really give thumbs up for Young Woo's dad. Super cold and heartless fella. His expression was the same throughout the drama, butta dunno why i think it's hard to maintain that expression. haha! The storyline was super sad and serious from ep 13 to ep16, though they were some sweet moments of Jae Hee & Sang Hyun together. Dont worry la! Yu guo tian qing, the ending wont be a disappoinment la. (as compared to Lovers in Paris)
Wanna mention some new faces as well. This is Andy's first drama i think..and he's from Shinhwa. Hmm...nothing much, his character was rather pitiful too...coz' his dad (Young Woo's dad) treated him like his employee rather than a son. He only treats Young Woo as his son, it's really sad. Jae Hee's bro Gun Hee had some appearances as well, with another gal whom he likes. Why wanna mention this guy Jang Geun Suk? Coz' he's now famous after acting in "Hwang Jini". As for Jae Hee's bodyguard Dong Nam...he's quite a funny guy too la. Love his dialogue with Sang Hyun...hahaha! Btw, Ha Jeong Woo's movie was in sg theatres earlier on. That movie title forgot liao, but i know it's about plastic surgery and it's R21 ba. Ha!
As for Kim Min Joon, you can catch him in his new drama "Someday", Yoon Se Ah in "Smile Again" & for Kim Joo Hyuk, his new movie "Love Zero" starring Moon Geun Young too. I wld definitely be watching if it's coming to sg la.
Ratings: 8.5/10 (I think it's better than Lovers in Paris, in terms of the plot.)
