[Discussion] The Best Lee Soon Shin

Jul 16, 2013 10:38 pm

Is anyone still watching this? Personally, I'm finding it harder and harder to pity Soon Shin. I feel like some of her problems would be solved if she communicated with people instead of always bottling up her feelings. Also, does anyone else find the grandmother annoying? Personally I would never want a relative like her. She was so quick to drop Soon Shin. I mean for the longest she kept telling Soon Shin to go live with her real mother and when Soon Shin finally does, the grandmother gets upset. How does that make sense? Side note, I love how adorable Soon Shin and the president are.

Yes, still watching and I'm staying until the end! I still like this drama. : ) But I agree that there are a lot of annoying things, I don't even want to start talking about it. lol What keeps me going is the one week break between every 2 episodes. If I started this drama now and watched like 1-2 episodes per day I would definetly quit after some time. And finally, the real romance is getting started *__* Only 1 1/2 monts left.

Planning on watching this drama, but just wondering after reading one of the reviews they said the main couple isn't focused on too much is that true. I really like slow romance dramas, but I don't to be skipping due to little focus on the main couples relationship.

Well, then you probably shouldn't start watching. I think it's a plus that the romance is progressing very slowly, so it doesn't seem rushed or unrealistic. But it's true that they don't put the focus on the main couple. There are a lot of side stories and other couples in this drama.
Maybe that's common for Korean family/weekend dramas...?

like fray said its a family type drama, so even tho the main have the most parts compared to others in this drama, they do not take up the whole drama.

OMG I can't believe it. It's finally over! Yes! I mean... somehow I enjoyed the drama and it was my first drama with more than 24 episodes. But if it wasn't for the lead actors I would have dropped it very early. It was really slow and had lots of annoying parts. The last 3 episodes were really chewy for me and I even skipped through the last episode most of the time, because I knew I won't like how they're going to "solve" the emotional bonds between all the characters and yes, it was too much love, piece and harmony for my opinion. Gave it a 6... Did anyone finish it, too?

It's been on my on-hold list since ep 28, I think it's time for me to drop it for good. It's a shame because I love the leads but really, it's so slow and has a lot of annoying characters !

it has some seriously frustrating moments, and strings of 2 episodes at a time that make you want to throw a brick at the tv, but if you dont have to wait for the next episodes i it's totally worth a watch.
