[Discussion] When A Man's in Love

I have to admit that I first started to watch this drama because someone told me that Son Sueng Hun has quite a few shirtless scenes. After watching it for that reason I really got into this drama. As for the female lead, I'm not a fan at all. I saw her in Fashion King(one of the worst dramas I've seen), and she was the same way, with the weird sad facial expressions. As for the other characters I am a bit annoyed with Jae hee and Bak Sung Jo. Jae Hee is liked by the female lead but she rejected him and made her choice. As for Bak Sung Jo, she is on a whole other level, she is creepy/weird/stalker-ish. I'm not sure how many time SSH has told her I'm not into you, but she can't seem to get the hint. I guess it wouldn't be a drama/ show if the characters gave up on who they wanted. SSH has changed because he can feel the female character slipping away from him and he tried so hard to be "good" for her. I was hoping that this drama doesn't take a bad turn but its a melodrama so anything can happen,I guess. I think they need to have more shirtless scenes and I can over look the female lead. Lol:)

Just finished watching episode 12, I'm shocked/ confused. I thought this drama would of had a twist but its not a good one. I was really rooting for SSH and the frozen faced Mi Do to be together. Now, I'm out for her blood,lol. She is blantently disrespectful. It's one thing to like 2 people at once but don't make out in your boyfriends room with someone else. Sigh, writers what are u guys doing? I'm not sure if I want to finish this drama or drop it. I see this being like another Fashion King/ Bad Guy. If I ever say that I'm watching a drama with Shin Se Kyung(Mi Do) please shoot me. :(

You know why I love this drama ? Because for once, someone is doing the second male lead ! More seriously this drama would be great...if this weren't for that frozen faced (resent eye surgery maybe, I don't know) female lead and that old OST that makes the whole thing seem low quality. The two male lead are doing an excellent job and I actually like the story a lot ! I like both male lead, honestly they both have something and you honestly don't know who it is going to be...even if now I kindda think Jan tae San will go berserk now that he saw / and tore apart/ the shirt. Also, when is the second female lead leaving the show ? Because right now all she does is showing off her flexible body.

I agree with you about Seo Mi Do. I didn't mind the lead actress before, but now that you mention it, I think the actress really is handicapping the drama. The Itzara na Kiss franchise shows us how important the actors are to a drama. I mean with Itzara na Kiss it's the same story line in all the various versions and yet each the korean, Taiwanese Japanese versions all feel completely different from each other. This of course was partly due the actors' interpretations of the characters. I think that if When a Man's in Love had a lead actress who showed more range in her emotions maybe the drama would be more popular? I noticed after I read your comment that I'm unable to root for the leading woman. I'm rooting for everyone else in this drama, even the villan at times, but I can't root for Seo Mi Do. I don't hate the actress or the character. I just think the drama can do better if they changed the actress.

On another note, I wonder if the reason why they show the second female lead exercising is to show that she's stressed/ planning something? I mean they're constantly showing the villan hitting baseballs as his stress reliever/ before he does something evil. I wonder if they're doing the same thing with her.

I just don't know how this drama's ending can be anything but tragic... Isn't the point of the show that no matter how much you try, you cannot get some one to love you back? (TS and MD) A lot of people are rooting for TS, obviously, because he was cheated on by MD and betrayed by JH after being so generous, but I can't see him coming out of this drama happy. :(

Just finished episode 14, it's pretty much of the same. Am I the only one that was hoping something horrible happened to So MiDo? I find her facial expression highly annoying. Whether she gets hit by a car and lay on the ground dying or she's "happy", its the same facial expression. I have a question, Why is TS friend so willing to kill for him? I find it a bit odd. I have already watched 14 episodes so I guess I might as well finish the drama. I also don't see this drama ending with rainbows and gumdrops. I expect an deadly ending. It's a bit morbid but I can't see it any other way.

So here's what I think, I don't believe it's amnesia, maybe when Mi Do wakes up and remembers that Chang Hee tried to kill her, she will automatically think that Tae San sent him. That implies that Tae San is capable of anything including hurting Jae Hee so in order to protect him and herself, she decides to go backt o Tae San to stop his insanity. Or it could be another stupid amnesia after all and it will make me hate the drama even more!

Apparently! I really wish it's not or it will become a pure torture for me :(
