I'm scared of the ending actually. I accept Anthony's current condition already, but don't let anyone die please... It seemed there will be an accident on the next episode... From the previous drama of Writer Jang, the main lead unfortunately died... There is the library cafe..and there is Love Letter...

And this article too.. Note: There will be spoilers here, so if you haven't reached up until ep. 16, don't read this..

To Highlight :

Regarding this, a representative of the drama has commented that “we may have some controversy when it comes to the ending of the drama”.

It is expected that the drama’s ending itself not be a controversy, but rather a climax of the bitter reflection of the realities made all the way through the drama.

Uh-oh. I hope the writers at SBS don't get all imaginative and twist it 'til it hurts. Can they please leave us with something to come back to? Gawd. I don't want this to have a bad ending. JEBAAAL!

Before this drama, I didn't pay any attention to Kim Myung Min ahjusshi. Up until a week ago, I didn't know he was that top surgeon in 'White Tower' (that was so popular in SK TV) nor the bungling Mr. 'Detective K'. Thanks to this drama and his incredible chemistry with Jung Ryeo Won, I get to add another ahjusshi on my <3 List. ^__^

And this, I wanted to share the BTS on Ep 12 'kiss scene'. ;P

i really liked it until right at the end. i dont think they originally intended to include a certain story arcs and by the time they decided to it was too late in the series to do it justice, so it feels rushed and seems to me that in place of time spent to properly develop that arc the writers used melodrama which did not fit with the overall feel of the show. when the extension was announced I came across an article in which the drama had been described as having a dark air about it and dealing with the realities of life. this left me bemused and wondering if the writer was watching the same drama i was. imo the show had been consistantly light and funny right up until the last 4 episodes. sure there was some tradgedy right up front, but after that not so much.they arent BAD, they just feel like they are from a completely different show.

The 2 episode extension did not benefit this drama, rather I found it detracted from it I loved the first 13 episodes last few not so much...

They tried to do melo when they didn't have to. I didn't know coming back from the dead was so cliche. O_O Was it a way to make viewers accept Anthony Kim going blind? Well they could have done so without it.

@phoenixtears: By episode 6 are you enjoying it? Those first 10 episodes were the funniest! Haha. As an absolute lover of this drama, of course I'll suggest you to finish it. lol. Anyway, it's still up to you! :) PS: episode 7 was fun and totally hilarious episode! :)


Ahmmm,, there was an interview with Writer Jang (not fully translated by Chobap via Soompi, still waiting..) and he said that with or without extensions, high or low ratings, there will be the melo arc. I would gladly accept that** dead-then-come-back-to-life-cliche **rather than** killing** Anthony so for me the ending was perf---I mean fine. LOL. I don't think the **blindness **arc was an extension trope because from the first episodes, his mother was introduced to be that way. Still loved this drama from beginning to end. :)

Sweet merciful Jesus how did you find Tuesday Song?!!! I've been searching for it ever since I heard it but I could never find what song it was. Thank you! I fell in love with this song and I absolutely NEEDED to download it. Unfortunately google proved to be disappointingly useless in this task. Now that I finally know the song name I can add it to my playlist. Thanks again for posting it!

Exactly. Anyone watching it would have said the same thing. I would too. I think the >>Anthony-going-blind<< part was already widely understood, if not accepted, by viewers since there was build-up at the latter episodes. If the writer went on to>>killing Anthony<< I would have said this was one of those crappy dramas that makes you want it then deprives you of it.

KoD is best at its parody--the humor, the wit, Anthony Kim's tendency quash mush before it takes over him >>remember when his staff all pitched money in to save the drama and instead of showing his gratitude he rudely said 'Who asked for your help?' and rushed to his room. The stubborn man was crying like a ten-year-old. XD<<. Melo tones may benefit the Korean viewer--'melo is money' after all, but as a non-Korean fan of dramas, I guess I was more interested in KoD's behind-the-scenes take on dramas.
