i thoroughly enjoyed the 1st ep. of this..looking forward to watching the rest
I didn't enjoy it as much after it was established just how big a loser she is. I honestly liked her sister more and I usually don't like her type of character. Needless to say, I liked the mom and I also liked the main guy.
Also, are they airing two episodes on the same night? Because near the 2 minute mark in Part 3 of the first episode, there was a caption that announced Episode 2. So that would mean each episode is really around 34 or 35 minutes and not 65 minutes, right?
i have a feeling it got cut short the rating werent that great and this is honestly one of the worst all around dramas i've ever seen. i'd rather go rewatch playful kiss which i gave a 2. i'm on episode six, which i've tried to watch FOUR TIMES and i just keep turning it off.
the writing is...not good. the plot is erratic, but still manages to be overall predictable, which would be ok if the other elemnts came together. the acting is BAD. all of the actors have thier good moments but over all, uck. they cant seem to strike a balance between the seriousness and the camp and the "conflict"is ridiculous. this situation is presented as she's such a good person that she will only eat livers willingly given to her by those who love her. lets think about that for a moment. if you're trying not to be evil and kill innocent people doesnt it make more sense to go and find murderers and rapists and molesters and take THEIR livers? problem solved to me it seems AWFUL to seduce a man into loving you only to ask that he die for you. incredibly arrogant.
i'm used to poorly styled female leads but this... she looks sweaty ALL the time and though there's no color to her face she looks like she's got on massive amts of foundation. {{shudder}}
it's pretty bad. there's too much awesome drama out there to waste time on crap drama!
to give you an idea, on avg it got about a little less than half the viewers that MGIAG got. :{
Have I mentioned recently that Jeon Mi Seon is one my favorite actresses and how great she is? The one in the middle ^.
She is wonderful!! And her character is great, she makes me laugh a lot!!

Give it a try! Maybe you like it, maybe you don't! I like it! It is not fill with awesomeness, but is only 8 epis of about 30 mins each... so! I give it a try and till now, no regrets! Remember every taste is different!!
