• I tried watching upon reading AKP's earlier post on this drama but boy, I could not even finish the first episode. Apart from drooling over how handsome JKY is, I find myself almost dozing off even when I was watching it while walking on treadmill at speed of 6.4.

  • @Alexa we are two . Drooling over JKY , aside that ...meh . And I watched the 4 episodes ! After readind Koala's post i was hoping for my new fix but it won't be this drama . Sigh

      Have you tried Racket Boys, Crazy Guy in The District, Move to Heaven or Youth of May? I haven't checked out those dramas yet but I've heard mostly good reviews about them.

    • @ultraviolence Racket Boys is so good! The first 2 episodes were pretty long but I loved it!

    • @Sayaris

      Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.

    • @ultraviolence, i just finish the 2 episodes of Racket Boys and it's good !

    • @cahill

      Great! Since you said you were looking for a fix after Mouse and Taxi Driver but you didn't like either DAYS or Roommate, I thought I'd recommend the above dramas for you to try. Glad you found something you like. ?

• I haven't started watching this. More episodes and I'll start.

• I didn't expect it to be this fun. It's my first time watching jang kiyong and hyeri. So far so good. Their acting skill is not phenomenal but decent enough with this kind of story.

• I love this drama! Super light and enjoyable. The chemistry of Jang Ki Yong and Hyeri is palpable. I replay the funny scenes and adorable warm ones as well. I love how they are peeling layers as they get to know each other better. It’s great to see an appreciation post about this drama. I think it’s worth checking out. Episode 1 is slow but it gets better with each one after.

• But Hyeri is meh for me. I think could like this drama way more with another actress. She overacts and she can't module her voice so she sounds pretty childish everytime. Fortunately, a exuberant role suits her more than anything else. But both actors are doing what they're good at without being great at this...

• EP3:
  Loved it! My favorite part was the confrontation between Dam's brother, her friend and Gumiho-nim. LMAO.
  But can they cut it out with the 'eoreusin' already? Plus, their dynamic sometimes seems like adult and child. It's a bit uncomfortable to root for the romance when they emphasize the age gap in every episode.
  That sunbae is working my last nerve. What an ass.
  All of Hyeri's expressions are meme-able. And I LOVE it! I LOVE her! And her friends.
  Can someone give Kang Han-na her own drama already? Really dropping the ball, dramaland.
  Can't believe that incompetent nurse from PBIO is Dam's dongsaeng. Lol. Nice to see him do a bit more here.

  EP4:
  Loved it!
  Dam is so relatable and lovable (And that's all on Hyeri's performance). My girl just wants to get through uni and graduate in peace. And all these idiots are trying to bring her down. I'm glad Woo-yeo showed up for her. And also took care of her when it was that time of the month. J'adore their moments!
  Favorite part of the episode was when he transformed into her and went on the date in her place. HAHAHA. I got a kick out of how the 'girls' were unfazed at the X-rated movie while the guys were all over the place. “This is mild.” LOL.
  I disliked the noble idiocy, though. Thank goodness, it wasn't dragged out.
  Again, somebody give Kang Han-na her own drama!
  Boy, I envy how Hyeri gets to eat all these mouth-watering meals every episode! Lucky girl.
  And that preview? Can't wait for next week!

• I love this drama so much. My new crack. Chemistry between hyeri and jang ki yong really good. It's been long since I felt the burn sweetness from the two leads. Everything is good for me.. Can't wait for next week.
  Bts hyeri is just like that in real life.

• Hyeri has a gift for slapstick comedy, she deserves full credit for being so committed to the gags and going all-out instead of trying to save her image or look "pretty". But her crying scenes/anything that's halfway serious, is still super awkward to watch.

  At least her chemistry with Jang Ki Yong is good though, for a romcom that's the most important thing though can Dam PLEASE stop calling Woo Yeo "eorishin", it instantly kills any swoony feelings when she's basically calling him a grandpa-age person ?.

  Best part of this drama is still Kang Hanna though, she's just so adorable and hilarious as the gumiho version of a dumb blonde. The faces she makes when a fresh piece of ignorance is revealed ??? I nearly died laughing when her answer to the "how to make humans happy" question was "date them" ??

  That said, there are parts of the episodes that drag but it's fun so far.

• The leads have good enough of a chemistry for the “eorishin” to not sound bad for me. Whereas it was always hard to accept in Gobljn even though the leads were better actors and tried really hard to sell jt.

  And I thought plot wise it is well written so it won’t be awkward later on. They make it clear she sees his inner qualities rather than his age or the fact he’s a gumiho. That’s why she won’t date him no?

  Whereas for him he doesn’t harp on the fact that he’s old. It’s more of how he’s seen everything and nothing is interesting, till she came into his life.

• this drama is my new crack after vincenzo, although both leads r not the best actors, but they make it work. jang ki yong is so bland, he is better at melodrama. i love kang han na here, so cute and adorable. finally i found a female character with a good head in the shoulder, in lee dam
