Funny and Charming but just the beginning.

I have a really huge soft spot for Kim Sun Ah. I love her. I think she is one of the best actress out there Korea or otherwise. That said, I want this drama to be better. It was funny and charming but it didn't really touch my emotions deeply right out of the gate like some of her other dramas have. I didn't laugh heartily or cry or even feel it tug my heart. My favorite parts were her interactions with Lee Jang Woo (Park Tae Kang) There were moments I laughed out loud but they were few. But again, that said, I am giving this more of a chance. I am giving it more of a chance because I felt this way about The City Hall at the very beginning but I stuck with that drama and now it is one of my all time favorites. So I'm watching the second episode to see where it leads me.

*sigh*

This episode was so heartbreaking. She tried to lie to him, she really tried, but even I could tell she was lying and of course Boong Do knew she was lying. But I completely understand why she lied.



I wanted to shake him when he was looking for the talisman in her aparment. "They are all dead anyway!!!! 300 years have passed remember?!?!?" But....*sigh* you have to both want to smack and admire a man with that sense of honor.



I cried when she cried while telling him not to leave. And I didn't mind her crying since Hee Jin only cries when she needs to...just at the right moments.

Cho In decides to fight.

I'm so happy that Cho In was smart enough to inject Choi with something when he was hitting him. He doesn't end up killing them like I think he should do. Choi Chil Soo takes care of that though.

Cho In is totally heartbroken to find out that Seon Woo is the one trying to kill him. Young Ji is looking for him and Dr. Kim tells her where he may be. When she finds him he is sick and she takes care of him. Too sweet!!! After receiving strength from her, Cho In goes back to the hospital to fight.

Seon Woo and his mother scramble.

Funny!

Well it's funny @ least. I thought some parts were a little over acted, & I don't like the music very much. But I like the story & I think that the leads have pretty good chemistry that will develop more as the relationship develops. I like the doctor! He totally took care of her parents & she just hung up on him......OMG that was like the best moment! Good start. Waiting to see where it is going to go.

Well...

I decided to go ahead and watch this without subs. I pretty much understood what was going on by what was happening on screen. I liked it, but I wish I understood more of their conversation than "This person..." and other simple phrases.



And no surprise, it has strong adult content which is why it's rated 19+

you cant save them all

kim boong do you cant save them all. he is a perfectionist which can be a bad thing cause look what happen to the queen. she got beheaded cause the king thought that boong do and the queen had an affair and the queen's mother died cause whoever killed her was dressing like boong do. so i guess the talisman is starting to become a curse now (my opinion).



and hee jin was trying to protect him by saying that he disappeared cause if she told him the truth and said well the queen's mother died and the queen was beheaded he would have left her right then and there



great drama only 3 more episode to go!!

Hmmm...

I was pretty much bored throughout the episode. The only parts that had me laughing were the ones where Lee Jang Woo's character was.



I like when she calls him a loser and he just throws it right back at her...I was laughing and telling him "You tell her boy!" LOL



The crying starts...good grief...



If I finish this, it will probably only be because Jang Woo.

Seduction Won't Matter

So, this episode annoyed the living daylights out of me. Gim Dal is just....yuck. Everytime I look at her I think of a hairy bug. There wasn't enough screen time with Bong Seon and Jae Hee. I wanted to see them not the bug woman! gross.

Okay...I did not see this coming...and that is a GOOD THING!

I am so tickled right now I am bubble gum pink! The second episode was better than the first and OMO! I thought this was going to be a straight up crime solving procedural and even though I had confidence in Ji Sub's acting I wasn't as confident about the subject matter. There are some very minor nit picks but the plot line, acting by Daniel Choi and So Ji Sub and cool cinematography makes this drama for me. I still have NO clue "who dunnit". I hope I still feel this way until well into the latter episodes. If they do this well and keep going this way this could really be a kick arse drama. I'm on board the train...Keeping my fingers and toes crossed. Oh yeah, and Ji Sub is Gawjuss! (not sorry for that fangirling!)

ASSA!

I can't believe how much my opinion changed within a span of 1 episode. Definitely an unexpected surprise.



Anyhow, Joo Won is such a wonderful actor. I've only seen him in Baker King, Kim Tak Gu. In here, he has so many range of emotions... from the facial expressions all the way to the body movements. Joo Won really works as an action star too. I'm already loving his character. He seems quite like the anti-hero at the moment, which I like (or rather prefer). Love how he doesn't immediately swoon over the girl like love at first sight.



The storyline seems very intriguing. I was skeptical at the first episode due to some weird slow motion captures that distracted me from the actual plot. So I'm glad they toned it down. Maybe, because there was less of Bridal Mask himself? Anyway, I hope they stop doing the slow motion stuff whenever the mask dude comes on because it looks so corny - haha.



I can't wait till next week! Can't wait to see Kang To's development most of all. I love me some unconventional character. Come to think of it, the drama's tone is quite dark.



On a random note, Joo Won's bingo reminds me of Dokko Jin - haha.

Phantom

What pleased me about episode 1 were the little reveals that turned out to be red herrings for something much bigger yet to be unveiled. I would say this was a moderately fast paced episode with twists you do not see coming. I am left at the end still confused about "who dunnit" and wondering and eager to learn where this plot will lead me. Another piece I enjoyed was when the action is slower you have to pay attention to what people are saying because even a comment you might not think is important becomes so later on. Smart Writing! I like the music and the cinematography as well! On to episode two!

Lee Jang Woo *sigh*

My main reason for watching this show is Lee Jang Woo and I loved him! The morning after...his face was hilarious..lol So cute...Ok now that I've fangirled, the first episode was somewhat funny, but it was better than I thought it would be. It will be ok as long as Kim Sun Ah doesn't use that whiny voice she does. I found the "mommy" guy pretty funny with his mamma's boy tales.

Heartbreak starting love.

Like in some of the best dramas that you come over out there, The cutest and best romances often start off with a misunderstanding or basically just so the people need to struggle to be together. This drama is headed off to a rough start on this romance. A Fatal mistake to be made by giving the ribbon away to the wrong person. To start something right, by something wrong.



This episode was so cute, Loved the romance in it.. Her secret seems to have been leaked now though. Lets just home that Wen Qian will keep it safe locked far away.



For Yao Ting Jun in which had everything planned out. Getting back together with his old girlfriend by sending her the special ribbon. This wrong, Giving people unnessecary heartbreak.

Great episode, It was really cute..

Nice intriguing start

Was that Lee Joon!!?!?! Fan girl screams!! Ok, now that that's out of the way...jejeje



Although I think the first episode was good, there were some parts, mostly around the middle of the episode, when it got too slow and I found myself posting on the forums...lol



But then at the ending started to pick up and I loved how when the two of them are investigating and they show what happened as they speak.



I know So Ji Sub's character is the main lead, but for some reason I found myself more interested in what Park Gi...something... was doing.



I also liked how it ended on a suspenseful note and I'll have to wait and see how the Phantom of the Opera connects with the story if at all. Or if it was used just because the song is so darn awesome that it empathizes suspense and mystery in that last part. Or maybe it's because of the file...lol
