There. I love this drama so much, but all I've been doing in this thread is flailing my arms around out of inexpressible love; I thought I owed this show at least one semi-intelligent post, hehe. =P


First of all, don't you mean Dokko-line, as so refreshingly expressed in the show itself. :D

Also I love reading your posts BaT, cause for some reason you always produce these fantastically hilarious images in my head. Right now I'm picturing someone in the thread (represented as a room) running around flailing there arms screaming "Dokko jin saranghae!!!"

I'm still laughing....HAHAHA.

This is the first time I am watching on-going dramas... (up until now I only watched dramas that have already ended - therefore no wait beweet the episodes ^_^)

I started with this drama -And I loved it from the first episode. (ANd I love the discussions threads in this forum- I should come back more often again ^_^)
Anyway I just love the dokkojin character. he kinda reminds me of the Domjoji-character Matsujun plays in Hana yori Dango (= <3).
you know, that "Arrogant and angry character, unable to express his feeling the "normal" way, and does it in a cute, boyish and stumbeling heartwarming way"

Okay...So we all know how BaT is running around this thread, flailing her arms and shouting her love at the top of her lungs? Well, I'm running around behind her. We are forming a train of arm-flailing, love squeeing, giddy fools. PLEASE JOIN US.

Oh my god...it's not only that I have the heart of one of those princessy little girls who thinks their prince charming really is going to show someday...hidden deeply behind a pragmatic, practical Mother who knows it's better to love yourself first and that life is never a fairy tale... It is simply that this show is just so wonderfully smart, clever, romantic, hopeful, silly and heartwrenching! And it pulls you this way and that! Not only within the hour of the show's run but often times within the space of one scene...only a few moments time and your emotions have run the gammut. And rather than be frustrated or disgruntled by this emotional torture by Those damn SISTERS of the HONG persuasion... NO...NO...I am shouting, crying and flailing my arms in love and greedy for more. Wrench me around some more..Pretty please? GAH!!

And you know what started my emotional love jag that still hasn't quite ended? Was it an amazing scene between Gu Ae Jung and Dokko Jin? Was it a beautiful moment between Gu Ae Jung and Pil Joo? NO! It was the small little scene between Manager Jae Seok and Dokko Jin. That's what I loved! That is the mark of the Hong Sister's Genius. The beautiful writing, the lovely scenes and touching moments aren't just written for the leads or saved for the romance...It's everywhere! ...threaded through every scene and given to every actor.

I have to go cry now and rewatch. Damn this show! love love love.

This drama is effing hilarious!! Im only up to episode 7 but the Hong sisters deserve an award for wrtiting the script. How can a drama be so funny?! I haven't gotten into the romance part but there's plenty episodes left for that. Dokko Jin is the second best ( hwang tae kyung from Your Beautiful being the best) character in a Korean drama ever! He is hilarious but sensitive to the point I want to just give him a hug and shout "fighting!" so he wont give up on his pathetic one sided love. I'm still waiting for the heartpounding moments to come tho...

ep. 11 part 2= DGJ:" Are you doing that to the poster because you can't do it to the real Dok Go Jin ?" "It's OK, you can do that to me.. (posing just exactly like his poster). But you can't touch me. You just have to admire what you see."
HAHAHA! ROFL xD wangjanim complexion xD

Is there any room left on the Dokko-line train? Because episode 11 officially robbed my heart. I can't believe there's only 5 hours of Dok Go Jin awesomeness left. How will I cope when this drama will be over? Funny how I hated him at the beginning of the drama, much like Ae Jeong, then grew to vow him eternal admiration for his awesomeness. Don't know what I'm talking about?

HIS FACE WHEN HE KNOCKED BEFORE ENTERING IN AE JEONG'S ROOM.

Then you have DGJ at THE ENDING SCENE OF THE EPISODE.

Damn, this guy makes me taste the wildest rollercoaster of emotions.

I forgot to add the drama has not disappointed me so far. In fact, it took me a few episodes to get hooked and I'd rather have a drama that grow on me and that I can enjoy until the finale than get addicted on the get-go, then be disappointed in the middle (I'm particulary thinking of Lie To Me, or even Coffee Prince which actually had the same effect on me after "the truth" was revealed).


SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER


Also, five stars to Pil Ju for taking a bow in a timely manner. This one really is too good to be true!

Still in the middle of episode 11 (will come back and read all of the comments once I've watched the episodes)... I just have to say that the way Dokko looks at Ae Jung with such tenderness makes me melt. I want to force my boyfriend to watch this episode and say to him, "See, this is how you have to look at me from now on. If you don't have this expression in your eyes, don't even bother sparing me a glance!"

OH MY GOD, THAT FACE! I swear I'm going to knock and make that face every time I enter a room---it's going to be my new thing. And there's plenty of room on the Dokko-line, making express stops to your heart. I was thinking, as I wiped away my tears, that this is definitely Dokko's love story: it's his affection I feel most, his little victories I cheer, his tears that move me to tears. When he saw Ae Jung and Pil Ju walking up to the house, and that heartbroken look took over his face, I felt like Ae Jung punched me in the stomach. And that final scene when he wakes up and turns his head, and you see the tear trail on his cheek... I had to pause the show because I just burst into tears and couldn't continue. I've read a lot of criticism toward Dokko's character, that he's too immature and too exaggerated of a character, and I just have to disagree. There is that element to him, yes, but there's also an emotional depth to him that Cha Seung Won plays beautifully, like in those quiet moments where Dokko is just gazing at Ae Jung and you can just see the love in his eyes, and I need to stop because I'm tearing up just writing about it...

Agreed. He's a class act, that Pil Ju. I so desperately want him to have a happy ending, and hopefully that will not include Se Ri. I hope he'll play some part in blocking whatever scheme Se Ri and Manager Jang are hatching.

I totally agree with this! I do not want PJ to send up w/SR. I am really waiting for her to fall from grace along with the manager. I am waiting PATIENTLY for that day, with bated breath.

Ahhhh episode 11 completed. I LOVE it!!!

The whole recharge metaphor really worked well. And I love the fact that Dokko is 7 year old and a 37 year old all-in-one. And I completely agree with graphic that Pil Joo is a great guy for knowing when to gracefully admit defeat. My heart hurts for him, but he could have just as easily held on to Ae Jung, but the fact that he didn't makes him so much better. But Dokko has stolen my heart, like for most people probably. Plus Pil Joo has a sense that something is going on with Han Min Ah, and I'm super curious to find out what actually happened.

Now I'm anxiously waiting for episode 12, I have a feeling it's going to be super cute! :D Too bad I can't watch this show raw, there's too much I don't understand. :(

BaT, let's freeze this moment of glory:



I demand this smiley which shall now be forever referred as the "Dokko pervert face" to be integrated in this forum.
