i just picked the season 1 up from dropped list, and already completed watching it.. :P i liked it, but i don't really like the ending... (prefer the other guy,,,he is so cute..lol) i watched the season 1 because i think i want to watch the 2nd season..also thanks to QIM, i want to watch more tvn dramas..lol but then, i think...will it be like a remake of the 1st season? with the same story? i usually don't like remake version.. :(

I don't think it's a remake. It's probably like the "Oh! Boy" Series or something like that project they have. The cast changed and the story will probably be different.

oh, i just read the synopsis..

wrote: The plot is centered around the 10 year relationship between Lee Jin Wook and Jung Yoo Mi, who have been repeatedly breaking up and getting back together the entire duration of their relationship. Tired and looking for love elsewhere, Jung Yoo Mi turns her attention to Kim Ji Suk and leaves Lee Jin Wook to look on with envy.

so it different, i guess..and i hope.. :D

I loved the 1st season of this, it was incredibly refreshing. Like Sora, I'm a little skeptical about this one though, I'm not convinced by this new trend of doing second seasons with different characters and plot: why use the format, then? If I grew attached to the original characters I don't want to see them go, and if I didn't like them I'm not encouraged to watch a continuation with somebody else.
I never watched Dream High 2 either, and am totally confused by the flower and the shops serie - what is their connection apart from the title? Do they happen in the same shop? LOL
:D

i really don't think that it is a remake of the first season i think it is a new plot either easy.... the funniest thing about it is that the two main guys are actually best friends in real life (really strong friendship, just watch strong heart episode with them and you will understand) and now they play in the same drama^^ wow XD

Reminds me of Sex in the City but just in Korean. Don't know why, though, maybe because of the "we use the the sidewalk as a catwalk,ha!" scene. :)

When the first I Need Romance was aired, it was actually defined as the Korean Sex and the City, and indeed there are some similarities in the way these women talk about their sexual life, the modernity of it all and the slightly "cosmopolitan" feel of it.
Since this one uses the same format, I suppose the general feel will be the same. :)

Oh I didn't even know that the first season is often being compared to Sex in the City. :)

lol.me too..don't like this second season thing..
i tried to watch dream high 2 just because it was aired on tv...but in the end i dropped it, eventho i didn't have to download or streaming it..lol

i like it more if the second season is continuation of the first season..with same actors and characters..
in the end of season 1, their score was 1:2...so i think they could just continue it.. :(

and me too, always said i need romance as korean version of sex and the city

I read a bit about this and you are right. I will be watching this! The first series was very good so if it is the same writers and directors I will give it a try. Lee Jin Wook was the only good thing about Myung Wol The Spy besides Eric.

Me too. There are quite a few dramas out there I would have loved to see a continuation of, either because the ending was an open one, or because some characters hadn't been explored or simply because there was room for development. Funnily, none of those got a second season and here we are with... how can we call a second season which isn't a second season? The same dish only with different spices? ;)
