Kimura Takuya - with all the references to him i just googled him !! LOL . I am so happy that its only 16 eps .

i m not very happy at all. i wish it could go beyond 16 (or even 187..:).
but you know what they say..good things do not last forever.
i will miss LMH gorgeous smile sooooooooooooo much. damn

I have mixed feelings about the news. I am sad to see the series go because i have gotten attached to it but i also think that the storyline will drag if there would be an extension. Whatever the choice i will still support the series. Go Lee Min Ho!

I was hoping for an extension. It just does not feel likel PT has reached its end yet, defintely not next week. And I am not ready to let go of GI, JH and the side characters either - they have brought so much laughter and smile to me in the past few weeks and I don't want it to stop so soon.

this drama has proven that LMH has acting talent to back up his good looks unlike some of his fellow actors on BOF....... hope he appears soon in another drama.

@40 Belleza

agree with you that is my favourite moment..

Actually I am hoping for 18 episode .SYJ is really good and beautiful , and she helps to bring the best out of LMH.I really love the way they are together..like real couple. JH is not a perfect man but he love her..that is how it is in real life..
ups and downs.So far I love love Eugene with Ji Sung in Save The Last Dance and then this couple come along..like soul mates

Yes, I am not happy that our campaign for a mere 187 additional
episodes of "Personal Taste" didn't work out. :( :( :(

Everyone was so worried what would happen with an extension.
What convoluted plot twists? What angst?

Just a nice, simple, montage series of LMH "one-hour moments" ~
Episode #42 = Lee Min-ho walking on the beach
Episode #91 = Lee Min-ho reading a book
Episode #116 = Lee Min-ho working at his computer
Episode #151 = Lee Min-ho driving a car
Final Episode #187 = Lee Min-ho..........SMILING
You get the picture. :)

~~~

Seriously.......I really would have loved (at least) a small extension.
I hate a fade-out-at-the-end-smooch; live happily ever after; THE END.

I would have loved to have seen this lovely couple, already married
and WORKING TOGETHER as an architect and a furniture designer,
and actually living happily ever after, after the wedding, alongside
their great group of friends and co-workers. Maybe even have that
sleazy guy come back with the money he stole from Kae-in and join
in with the other "tasty" ingredients of the "Personal Taste" soup.

I guess that I just hate to say good bye to this lovely rom-com.
OK........(BOO HOO)
Where do I send my money for the DVD?

Lee Min Ho is the next best thing. I think his popularity and even his acting skill will go beyond Won Bin, or even Jang Dong Gun, etc. He's just simply the best. Period.

@belleza
Tender kisses are the best!! Even better than passionate ones.

@grace, TOFJUSA
LOL, i believe every one of the extra 187 episodes would have ended with Lee Min-ho ... SMILING

:)))))

(Just finished ep 13 on Viikii, and am blissed out with le Romance, ah Sweet Romance)

Although I'm glad they chose not to extend the series, I'm definitely going to miss the pair...

But has anyone heard anything about a possible season 2 of Personal Taste?

Wow people think this third rate actor with bad comic timing (same with SYJ) and stiff acting is the next big thing here and insult actors like Won Bin (who acted in mother) and JDG etc... only because they remember this man of BOF (another "melo acting" by this man) and because the only things he does in PT is kissing the lead actress looking cool when he acts more like a CF's model than an architect (god it reminds me another character in another drama). Who does remember that LMH is supposed to be older than SYJ is PT and this is not an Ajumma-Dongseng drama like "the woman who wanted to marry" ? Is "Looking hot" acting ?

"(same with SYJ)"

Erm, no. Son Yeh Jin has exceptional comic timing.

What SYJ was ok sometimes but most of time the girl TRIED TOO HAAAAAAARD !

All I gotta say is SWEEETTTTTT!! :)

Wow it's a relief that they didn't extend this drama. I love this drama so much so I don't them to ruin it by extending it. I think I am going to be on 12 step program when this drama is over LOL. Thanks JB. You Rock!

While i do agree with some points made by Lilly @65, perhaps Lilly ,you are being a bit harsh. Let us have constructive criticism here. I think in first few episodes , LMH protrayal of JH was a bit robotic, and SYJ was overacting to be cute and funny. But in the later episodes,their emotional,sad and romantic scenes were very well acted. Although many of you will disagree,comedy is not SYJ 's forte- it does not seem natural. Also, putting her hair up makes her look older.Sometimes LMH looks a lot younger than her.Furthermore she won many awards in the past. I expected more from her. LMH 's acting improved and has a lot of acting potential.Good looks is not everything, but I 'll take a sexy man anytime. Hopefully he will choose something totally different for his next project. Overall the drama is ok, what the problem is that the storyline is very normal, a bit boring and predictable ,the editing and script can be improved although some parts were good. You can't beat a great script and storyline.

@63
So much hatred. I pity you.

@#64 belleza,

Your quote: "Erm, no. Son Yeh Jin has exceptional comic timing."

I couldn't agree more. Son Yeh Jin has spot-on comedic and dramatic timing.

@Lilly, I respectfully disagree with your opinion about Son Yeh Jin. I think she's a wonderful actress. Looking at the awards that she's been honored with, thus far in her career, it would seem that many people in the industry also think she's pretty wonderful in her craft.

(it's been a long time since i posted a comment, usually, im just happy lurking, hehehe, but just couldnt resist, wow! #63, that's a bit harsh :()

@ sukispop

thank u for bringing up son ye jin's awards and accolades...imo, she is a beautiful and a great actress, truly, a league of her own, she never fails to amaze me..i personally think, she brings out the best in LMH in this drama..re age difference, on the latter part of the drama, it's barely noticeable..i enjoy their chemistry tremendously, much more with his and GHS in BOF (no offense to minsun fans)

...and yeah! i do hope LMH will get to collaborate again with lee min jung too, she's also my girl crush, hihihi ;)

javabeans and girlfriday, I really like all your recaps for Personal taste.. You really make me understand the story more and I just love your translations!! The lines make me melt especially those uttered by Jinho.. SUPER THANKS.. two more episodes for next week.. and Im happy that there's no extension.. I love Personal Taste but 16 is perfect!!! looking forward for your remaining recaps!! thanks much♥

greatest thing other than your recaps... recommending DRAMAFEVER.COM

they now have 11 episodes of PT up in HD with english subs!!!!!

thanks JB!

I've read somewhere in an interview with LMH, he was asked "How does he think the ending of PT should be?" He answered: "Maybe like the ending of "What Happened in Bali".. So, I got curious and found out what that ending is...and ironically i was laughing while watching that tragic ending!!...
I suddenly remember Jin-ho's friend commented that gorgeous men like Jin-ho doesn't need to have a sense of humor coz its only for those who lack the looks! Ahhh...why is he so wrong?

by the way, Javabeans & Girlfriday...thanks for your recap!! keep up with your good work...

Good, good, good
Sooner it ends sooner i can start to watch it, ha ,ha, ha...
Can you imagine how do I feel to read all those recaps plus the novel recaps before them but unable to watch the drama????????

JG
So much fangirlism ? I pity you

@ 78

So much criciticism. I pity you, as well.

Seriously, I don't understand why you come to a messageboard intended for the "fans" of a TV series and post negative comments. Not getting enough attention at home?

Tell you what.. why don't you go to Google and search for a site where they're bashing LMH to pieces and post there? I bet you'll get more love.

*shakes head*

@79
so much foolishness I pity you !

@79 Fairy bluebird
so much foolishness LOL !

@ Lilly

What?! That's it? Tsk, tsk... couldn't find a good enough retort, could you? ;)
