Good Corn & Cheese!

I love rom-coms with good romantic chemistry & this episode showcases that. All the tension is starting to build up, and Gong Chan is finally starting to face his feelings. This is the kind of corny cheesy romance that I just eat up sometimes. The grandfather made me lol forcing Gong Chan to repeatedly say that Yoo Rin is pretty. I loved how the episode ended too.



Seo Hyun bores me, but I look forward to her getting dumped soon (just a guess). I like Jung Woo though. Maybe he can give Gong Chan a few more reasons to be jealous before the inevitable happens.



This drama is starting to be really fun to marathon through : )

thanks for the warning, but...

...I was not bored. I think warnings about the slow pace helped me know what to expect, so I ended up really liking this episode. It's certainly not exciting, but it sets up the characters and conflicts nicely. The two leads are so frustrating to watch, but it's also endearing to watch their one-sided love for each other.



I have a feeling this will be a moody romance, not a giggling cute-fest, which I am looking forward to.

fun, but not very subtle

I guess this is the beginning of their relationship starting to change, but i wish they didn't say what they are thinking so much. I'd rather see someone suddenly act jealous, than literally have to say "why am i jealous?".



It's so funny seeing young Lee Tae Sung after seeing him in older roles, like in rooftop prince. So far I like the cast. I'm hoping that the more I like them, the more I'll get into this drama. So far the story is pretty standard.

Not even the kids are safe...

I knew the happiness wouldn't last long, but I never expected this amount of ruthlessness, and such a depressing turn of events. all they get is a puppet show??!! so sad (yet I didn't cry, just teared up). I guess because I could kinda see it coming towards the end, and since I read the synopsis. 2 more seconds of the crown prince, and I probably would have been sobbing.



These young actors are great! I'm gonna miss them when they grow up. I love how the story is unfolding. I haven't been bored once yet!

corny?

I thought it was fitting that she admitted to liking "corny", because I find this drama very corny. apparently I like "corny" too.



Though I'm curious about the Joseon era storyline, I don't find it very exciting. This episode focusses a lot on the past, and I now realize I'm just watching this to see the main characters flirt. I'd prefer even more corny stuff.

i was not convinced, now I'm va believer.

Switching bodies has been done so many times before, that I instantly wondered how the hong sisters can make this seem original. I was not convinced well into this episode, and was about to write this off as super cheesy, then Gong Yoo entered without his clothes on. HOORAY!



He is what has me eager to watch episode 2. If there is anyone who can make the same old story exciting to watch, I believe he can.

i guess i'm the party pooper!

i think this drama is super corny. i found the childish boyfriend, and silly manager to be especially annoying in this episode. The one thing I cannot deny is that the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I swooned during the last moments. It's moments like the end of this episode that keep me from dropping this drama.

the worst episode

The worst, most useless episode of the series, but all was salvaged in the last few seconds.

Alright, I get it. You miss her.

This is starting to get a little repetitive. I feel like nothing new really happened until the very end (which was a good one). I was starting to get bored until the last few minutes. Hope the next episode is not more of the same.

frustrating

Almost every character annoyed me or pissed me off during this episode. I know that that's the point, but it's the kind of drama that frustrates me the most. There are too many near misses, too many hidden thoughts & feelings, and too much backstabbing for my liking. I guess the point is to feel bad for Gong Chan, but I wanted him to leave everyone and go start a new life in another drama. grandpa, his ex, his bff, and his missing love are all complete jerks. not one moment made me smile, i scowled the whole time.



i guess it has to get bad before it gets better, but i did not enjoy this episode.

ah well, one more to go...

curious, but not convinced.

I am curious to see how my opinion will change, since so far I don't like the lead female character. She is meant to be cute, but I find her annoying. I am not hooked, but i'm curious to see how things turn out since this drama is so highly recommended by so many people.



Too many slapstick running scenes for my taste, i guess. I can see the characters are being introduced, but i wanna get to the story already.

I wasn't ready... lol!

I love the format of showing what will happen later in the beginning of each episode, but this used that style in the most epic way possible. I just completed this drama and immediately had to go back to watch this episode again. It's a game changer. It changes everything you thought you knew about the characters, and their relationships. It's also hilarious fun to watch, and the chemistry is through the roof!

I'm already in love with this drama!

i liked the first two episodes so far, and the relationship between Sam-soon & Jin-heon already has me in love with this show.



Initially I didn't even recognize young Hyun Bin, because he looks so different from how he looks in secret garden. He is just as hilarious in this though. He so good at playing arrogant, while still being likeable. He is an awesome stalker in this too. lol.



Kim Sun Ah is so good as super stubborn Sam Soon, and I was surprised she was so hilarious. I think this episode has one of the funniest drunk scenes that I've seen. She's such a bold, and imperfect, character which makes it easy for me to root for her.



Two Great actors, with great chemistry, almost guarantees that I will love this drama. I hope the plot can live up to the performances. I already like that it's swaying away from the 'rich mom doing everything to stop their relationship'scenario. I have a feeling that just watching these two go at it will leave me satisfied.

Every cliché in the book...

This episode threw in so many rom-com clichés ("i saw u naked by accident", "were stuck together in the middle of nowhere", "i'm waiting for the main lead, but the 2nd lead shows up", "now that ur back with your ex, i think i like you"). I've seen it a million times before, BUT it was still entertaining.



Predictable or not, I am finally excited to see the next episode. My Girl is growing on me. The main actress still does a little to much overacting for my taste, but she's growing on me too.



This is exactly why I try not to ever drop a drama before episode 5...

poor So Ji Sub...

Must we always shoot So Ji Sub in the head AGAIN? I like the other drama where he gets shot in the head, & becomes a loose cannon. If this one ends up being even close to as good I can't really complain. pretty far fetched rescue, though.



still not really sold yet.
