WhooshYou know you’re invested when you’re yelling, “B!tch, b!tch!!” at your tablet & you have to walk away before you hit the screen.
This is agony.
KDramaQn 🍷⚽️🎬📚🇨🇦🇬🇧Oh no! What episode have you finished? The styling etc. is so very much of it's time, 2009, it is almost cringe worthy but it was the kdrama gateway for many 😂
So cringe-worthy! I was having a hard time getting into it because the female characters are so one dimensional & generally clueless, but by episode 21, I am hooked and emotionally invested.
I thought I should watch because of its “classic” status. I’m glad I am - I have recognized so many references back to this show from other dramas now.
Just popped onto NFx to view ep 21 and now I know why you want to scream B!tch 😂
Some of the acting is soooo bad like the guy trying to squeeze out a tear with grandpa at the lake. You can see how Lee Min-Ho became such a big star.
Quite a few references in other shows for sure. The original Japanese version has been remade made times and in many countries. A quite good version, with a few differences, is the Mandarin 2018's Meteor Garden also on NFx.
Perfectly reasonable response to eps. 21, right?
It’s so fun to watch 10+ year old shows and you can just see the talent oozing out of certain actors - and sure enough they went on to become stars. I noticed that with Park Min Young & Song Joong Ki in Sungkyunkwan Scandal too.
Very much so. Sungkyunkwan Scandal also starred Yoo Ah In. YAI has been in a number of great movies and dramas, notably the drama Secret Affair and movies Veteran and The Throne. Sadly he is now embroiled in a drug scandal so not sure when we will see him again.
