sigh. why is it not wednesday already??

I love Dokko Jin! though at times he reminds me of Hwang Tae Kyung :D Episode 6 made me a slave for Best Love... it has all the elements to pull you into its madness! I smile now every time I see a potato :)

OMG!!!! My screen nearly exploded with the hotness of Pantyman! Thank you!

Ohh the dilemma, to be or not to be...with cow

that leather jacket with all those spikes is so scary!

i'm simply loving this drama...it was a while since i wasn't so excited about one, only with yab and on air last year...but now i'm back. I'm eager to watch this, and i think i'm gonna watch it raw ¬¬...for the first time i don't need weekends to rest, but to have this drama with subs!!!
i wonder if they will come out with some stuff toy...that mouse at Gong's house maybe...or the chicken naaa that's taken for mgiag...well a potato would work too...

Before Best Love I never knew Cha Seung-won could be this hilarious! Complete with the "Give me back my panty!"

His sex appeal is absolutely flooring. I have to pause while watching just to catch my breathe. Seriously, "How you dote on a 7 year old nephew and a 37 year old man are completely different." - I think I'll need a heart rate monitor while watching this show....

(Final note - for me this is the best Hong Sister drama so far.)

Sometimes it feels like a big part of him getting carried away is due to the actor's own delight/enjoyment over the role. Hasn't CSW always played manly-man stoic-fighter types, in serious action-ey roles? From what I see, at least, this looks like a major departure for him, so no surprise he's taken a little bit to find his footing.

And sheesh, some of the quieter scenes and quick throwaway moments (and lines) in the last two episodes just broke my heart. (Winner being the "Pretend you didn't see me, sorry," line, which almost had me in tears, such a flawless broken little delivery from GHJ.)

I like the drama ... first of all I'm Hong sisters die hard fan .... but I barely can see Hwang Tae Kyung in jin...may because I watched that drama not just once or twice

as usually Secondary lead syndrome hits me hard even though the same actor in Who are you (I have 2 eps till finish) doesn't do a thing to me... as CSW does nothing for me in Best Love ... however I love her... I love her starting from fashion and ending with her mannerism
I rarely fall for the girl... I'm a shallow girl myself and I look for the guys... but this time she is a gem :P

Hahahahah!!Pantyman!!!!
Seen him in his first Hong Sister drama(City Hall) and it was fun!At first I was having trouble listening to his voice...but as time goes I realized that it is one of his charms..hahahahah...
Mom: What are you laughing about?
Me: Pantyman
Mom: Oh, watching Best Love again?
Me: DING DONG!

How true! you've got to see Cha Seung-won to appreciate him and he's charismatic big time. Not my type of guy but Ep 5/6, got to pause to catch my breath a few times. Pil-joo... sigh... he's so adorable when he says want to have a son like him got to marry someone like him and grins. Cuteness overload!

Best Love FTW. I heart everything about it.

"Magnetic" is a good way to describe him. He kind of draws you in.

I'm also really glad he toned down the crazy a little. But I'm still rooting for Pil-joo. I can't get that a adorkable smile out of mind. I might sacrifice some sleepy time to watch the actor who plays him in the drama Who Are You?

I can't imagine anyone other than CSW as Dokko Jin now. Sexy, charismatic, off-the-wall wacky, and romantic. Jeez, he's even edging out my PilJoo.

He's a little unique as a Hong sisters lead because he's much older...some of the lines and situations wouldn't have worked with younger leads. For example, the end of episode 6 - I can't see Lee Seung Gi or Jang Geun Suk carrying that, even if they are talented.

I always find myself rooting for the second lead in Korean romantic comedies, and it's not the exception with Pil-joo. I'm in love with him, and hope she picks him. Jin seems like an egocentric, neurotic star. While Pil is sweet, charming, smart. He has the whole package.

Yes,CSW...

I just saw pirates of the caribbean(again)... Doesn't Dokko Jin sometime seem like the korean Jack Sparrow? I was half expecting Jack to do a manic laugh a la Dokko Jin...

I am soo thankful that lee seung gi was not casted in this drama because Ddong go ji is Awesome!!!

I really love him in City Hall, it's one of my favorite dramas ever. I have a thing for actors who do the tortured/pained hero well, like the guy from Prosecutor Princess. And also, soooo sexy!

ahh all the hong sister drama wait hong gil dong i dint watch it yet i love all of them ... and i love city hall basically for kim sun ah but watching best love i come to really appreciate dokko jin

I don't think Dokko Jin is acting over the top. I don't know I feel like his exaggerated style fits right in with the character. It's like his trademark, I suppose.

I've been enjoying this drama since the first episode and the last drama I felt this excited and crazy about was Kim Sam Soon. . .a good six years ago. LOL.

Love this drama.. Thou, the first 2 episode kind of made me >_<" and wondering if I'm gonna love this drama. It makes me think 'Is this will be the only Hong sisters drama that I would not like' But after watching spisode 3,4 and 5... I LOVE it.. It was awesome... JIN is one crazy dude.. I was like Wth dude.... xDDDD

'while his magnetic enough that I swear he’s generated his own gravity'

Oh gosh Javabean...... So true for this one. There is something about him that make me WOW sexy.... and for me, he is not that good looking but he sure know and able to pull me to him.. Like really pull him.. xDDD

Im loving this drama like everyone else but a part me wishes that gong hyo jin's part was played by kim sun ah. CSW and KSA had so much chemistry in city hall that I wanted to see them again here. I wonder if they ever dated in real life (CSW and KSA).

i think so far Best Love is the best Hong Sisters drama i've seen. and i know it's because the good script, the music is fine, the cast amazing, but what made this drama a winner in my heart is CSW. The man rocks, and it's not only his magnetism (he got tons of that) it's the awesome acting, he turn me 360º, from happy, to mad, to sad, to excited, to swooning, to crazy again, to flustered, my heart is really having a hard time with all the emotions this guy awakens.
i can't imagine other actor who can pull Jin as CSW is doing it.
thanks for the interview i'm so happy to know a little of what's in his mind while playing jin

This is the best Hong Sisters drama ever! Congratulations to the actors and crew. Well done!!!

I agree Dokko Jin did cross that line, especially in episode 5, when he cut off Ae-jung's car and almost forcibly dragged her away. If it were another person suffering Dokko Jin's lunacy, someone not as sweet and easygoing as Gu Ae-jung, she would've already asked for a restraining order. By episode 6, he started to crank up the charm and I was on his side again. But just as quickly, he became deranged with suspicion and jealousy. He's becoming his own worst enemy.

I'm sure that will change, though :D

i just love CSW..hes so manly and just plain sexy

I love this drama. Each actor plays their part so well, like one knows how to end the sentence while the next one knows how to begin it. Just amazing. Love it love it love it.

He's absolutely awesome! This is probably the first drama that ever got me hooked from the get-go. i usually "try-out" a drama by jumping in at the 1/2way point. I wasn't even keen bout CSW as the romantic lead (only knew about him through Athena D: what HAVE i been missing???!! ) but here...gosh......you can here him sizzle 1/2 a mile away. Bring on Dokko Jin. I'll be rooting for him and his chicken.

I envy his wife. And pity her simultaneously. Can't be easy being married to a man who can elicit such primal responses at will.

Love him, love the show! He is just so sexy

This guy has fast become a favourite character for everyone. I love him and I also love Pil Joo to bits too because he is too cute. How can he express everything so well with his expressions? lol.

YES!!!! CSW is Dokko Jin! He totally owns the role and I like him even better than Tae Kyung because for all his bluster and tactlessness and confusion about his feelings, when he realized that he really likes Ae Jung, he was man enough to declare it and accept the consequence and didn't hide behind the trite push-and-pull. While I'm sure he never expected Ae Jung to reject him (after all, he's Dokko Jin), I think his love declaration was so poignant because he went all in, went for broke and didn't let up. In other words, he's a MAN. An immature one in some respects, maybe, but a man I can totally respect and fall for.

I love pantyman and the Hong sisters, and CSW is slowly inching his way up as my favorite male lead :D HOTTTTTTT! SWOOOOOOOON!!!

Cha Seung-won, you've got my mind in the gutter..this is bad..I'm not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would borrow a few words from Bob Dylan:

"Everywhere you go it’s enough to break hearts
Someone always gets hurt, a fire always starts
You were too hot to handle, you were breaking every vow
I trusted you baby, you can trust me now"

please give me back my sanity...

While it took a few eps for "BL" to get on its track with regard to the relationships, that really couldn't be helped b/c it took some time to set up the backgrounds for the leads and for their relationships to progress.

In contrast, "MGIAG" started with a "bang" b/c once the Gumiho took human-form, she was pretty much attached to the hip w/ LSG's character (also, it was easier to set up the love-triangle w/ the Gumiho-hunter, but that part never really fulfilled its potential).

Nonetheless, the 1st few eps of "BL" was pretty entertaining and a lot of that had to do w/ the character of DJ and CSW's portrayal of him.

Yeah, some of it was over-the-top but I was totally fine w/ it b/c it was (1) hilarious and (2) I could definitely see DJ (as in "I'm Dokko Jin - big Hallyus star") being that way.

DJ's mix of neuroses, ego and insecurities reminds me in a way of KJH's character in "Coffee House" - who was a mix of having a high opinion of himself, eccentricity and underlying demons.

Definitely made their characters interesting (if the main or both male leads were "nice boys" like Pil-joo, it would make for a duller rom-com) which makes the series more interesting.

And I'm not so sure if it is CSW "toning it down" as much as it is the character of DJ changing (maturing a bit); the fact that in btwn these moments of new-found maturity we see DJ resorting back to his "old ways" when he has been hurt (defensive mechanism) leads me to believe that it's more DJ changing.

Speaking of DJ changing - the scene where DJ gets out of his car to show "Ding Dong's" classmates that he wasn't lying and goes out of his way to take photos and tells Ding Dong that it's OK to spread the fact that he is close w/ DJ was not only hilarious, but really showed the change in DJ (btw, DD is such a cute kid).

While the character of Ae-jung is the heart of the show and the "straight-person" to DJ's antics - the character of DJ is what really moves the series along.

He has such sexy appeal!! Cannot imagine he's 41 this yr! To think i share e same bdae as this sexy god! I like e scene where he helped Ae Jung place her beautiful lips on his cheek n then smiled to himself after that.. Awwww... Simply made my heart go beyond e safety range of 60-90!

Granted, this is only the 3rd Hong sisters series I've watched - the other 2 being "Hong Gil Dong" and "MGIAG", but even at this early point in "BL", I have to say that this is the best Hong sisters drama.

"HGD" was a borderline wreck; the story dragged and the dialogue wasn't that interesting.

SYR's character was an idiot and the bad acting made it worse.

Even KJH was HGD was irritating b/c he kept repeating the same mannerisms over and over again.

The best part of "HGD" was Kim Ri Na who played the daughter of a Minister who felt an attraction to HGD (it's too bad that her career seems to have stalled when she was the one who left the most striking impression from watching "HGD").

"MGIAG" was all about Shin Min ah and her character. The secondary love interests and the secondary characters were all pretty much "meh" (the blooming relationship btwn the Aunt and the Director, while good for laughs, didn't really have any emotional bearing underneath).

Even LSG's character and acting was so-so (couldn't quite believe LSG as a "ladies man", much less an "action star").

With "BL", however, the Hong sisters have done a fine job in not only developing the love-triangle relationship in a believable manner, but also giving us secondary characters that seem real, aren't just superficial stereotypes, and contribute something to the series (in terms of secondary characters, "Coffee Prince" still takes the cake, but Hong sisters here have come closer than any other writers for a rom-com).

President Moon, Jenny, "Ding Dong", DJ's manager (the least annoying of all the manager/assistant type; one of the worst was HB's character's assistant in "SG") and even Ae-jung's goofy brother/Manager all bring something to the series.

Pil-joo's mother is too sterotypical and thus, not feeling anything there.

Also, not feeling anything for Yoo Inna or her character (while she's not a total, over-the-top b!tch as is usual in so many dramas, there's really nothing remotely interesting about her).

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but I didn't see what all the hoopla was about YI in "SG" either (yeah, I guess YI is kinda pretty, but in a bland, generic sort of way).

YI's character is mostly just self-centered and a bit spoiled. In certain ways, it reminds me of the younger sister in "Coffee Prince" - but there, the character was beautifully written and actress Yoon Young Ah made that role her own.

Did anyone else wonder for a second if Dokko Jin was gonna chuck that potato at Pil-joo's head at the end of episode 6?
