I agree, it seems like even 20 episodes was too long - ever since ep4 or 5, this show is really dragging. Another case of where it should have been 16 episodes instead of 20 or 24. Last couple of episodes the story has hardly moved at all, and is mostly filled with people staring at each other or flashbacks.

Bwahaha... The good thing in not actually watching the drama is that I could watch the scene without feeling guilty or conflicted. Technically it was a good scene. :D

It felt soooooo wrong but sooooooo oooo ooo good to watch (k-actors could kiss after all).

Because of this comment, I actually went to youtube to check it out! Haha. All I can say is well this is YEH's drama anyway... :D

Could you elaborate why the kiss felt wrong to you?

On topic, I think that it's a good decision not to extend this drama. I like it, but it wouldn't improve the plot to drag it out longer than is necessary.

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE KISSED IN THE FIRST PLACE!

*throws away table full of feelings*

but hot damn. That kiss was amazing nonetheless.
I haven't seen that kind of lip moving in a drama in ages.

I couldn’t care less who is kissing who. I’m writing to give my take on why The Kiss is consistent with the natural progression of this drama.
Rape is a social stigma to the victim’s family in Asia and more often than not families abandon the victims and/or feel ashamed of them. Victims live in shame, traumatised by poor self image, guilt, anger and sense of worthlessness. Remember the mother and daughter reunion scene. It tells us that LSY had to latch onto her Mum’s praise that she was prettier than EJ to maintain her sanity while living incognito. Her Mum’s words were the driving force behind her becoming a designer for the good of self image and self worth. She needed the reassurance that, the LSY part of her, was still pretty (acceptable and worthy despite the rape). That was why she showed her Mum her polished finger nails that matched her dress. Unfortunately, her Mum was not fully empathetic. Her Mum’s attitude was ‘you don’t want to know me; I don’t want to know you’’ and ‘poor HJW’. I acknowledge that her Mum was doing it for her good. My point is that her Mum hadn’t shown acceptance of her, a rape victim.
HJW, however, had said that he liked Zoe, but he liked LSY best. He likes her for what she is (as a murderer’s daughter, Zoe, Harry’s fiancée and a rape victim). In other words, he likes her, warts and all, not for just being his first love. He is happy to show his love even just for one day. We have heard HJW mention “even for one day”; so he is prepared to let LSY choose her man. With anger towards HJW out of the way and the things la dee dah pointed out, LSY is more accepting towards HJW. The privacy of the bedroom, childhood fond memories, HJW’s high tolerance for waiting, HJW’s gentle approach to her arrest, HJW’s willing to accept her freedom of choice of man and above all her craving for social acceptance she is not getting as a rape victim, (a craving probably accentuated by the impressive bromance between Detective Joo and HJW) -the scene is, therefore set for an empathetic kiss from HJW. It is a kiss fused with tears and passion. Having seen her tormented self thus far, you can feel with empathy the melting away of misunderstanding, the mutual acceptance and the healing of hearts/mind. It is more liberating and is more powerful than a thousand comforting words for the 2 of them! A bed sits unused right next to them signifying that the kiss isn’t meant to be totally sexual. In short, LSY realises now that HJW isn’t ashamed of her and is loved as she is. That is why LSY thanks HJW for liking her at the playground swing. The kiss kindles her interest in discovering more of the past. Isn’t this the path of recovery that we all wish for her?
The kiss is also the start of HJW’s growth beyond his 15 year old self. That is why, at the swing, he is counting from 15, 1 second, 2 seconds………. LSY recounts her steps to 213 not 280 anymore, symbolically saying she has also grown. At the swings they talk about getting too big for the swings; again symbolically they are talking about growth and the healing process for both of them. The kiss isn’t an act of possession at all. If anything, Harry should be grateful for the therapeutic effect it has on LSY.

Really? First drama I can't watch it on Viki. :(

Yeah, give it a shot. It is more solid that YEH´s last drama. You may not enjoy the crying but you will love YEH, HJW, and YSH´s performances! I check out the KISS in ep 13!

Skip it. It's awful. Forget YEH, this isn't even a good melodrama.

If I ever would ask for an extension for this drama, it would be for Eun Joo to have a purpose once more. She had been such a promising character pre-childhood-drama-llamas. And then she just turned into the girl that's there sometimes when we visit Mom.

LOL! I agree with all especially no.4 :D Sadly i dont think the writer has enough common sense to see that these are the only viable plotlines!

Absolutely: If we were watching a comedy, having the characters laughing like crazy in ALL eps would feel awkward and forced. Well, it's the same with tears: Too much tears is just too much. The value of a melo doesn't depend on the number of buckets you can fill in...

Aren't Park Yoochun and Yoo Seung Ho 'flower boys' in the purest sense of the phrase?

Some tears are okay, but this drama just tries too hard for the tears in ways that don't make sense. So people walk away sad AND annoyed.
I saw no growth coming from those tears but i checked out on episode 12. If suddenly the tears are cleansing and people are becoming stronger then hooray! But that wasn't happening before imo :P

The hell? It was sweet and soft. How the hell you want a hot kiss in their situation?

Be realistic.

@Betsy - This is ONE of my favorites right now. I'm happy that they're not getting an extension, but also am looking forward to the special (whatever it's going to be about). I did chuckle a little at all the people complaining about the crying. For a drama called "I Miss You," what was the expectation? A party? At the same time, PYC has also made jokes about how much he's having to cry.

Some other people have complained about the writing. I'll have to agree a little bit on this. Bo-Ra's mom - that was a little insane, as is the whole chaebol family structure ("you threaten my family, so I'll lock you up in a mental hospital" is a little over-used, over-annoying). It's the secondary relationships, however, that are so nice in this drama - LSY's mom and HJW, HJW and his partner, LSY and her foster dad('s memory?), Harry and Zoe (except it's a little creepy).

While I don't deny that there's a lot to bash in this, there's also a lot to commend.

Huzzah! Not totally alone after all. :D

@pogo: My working theory is Harry manipulating an exposure of all the wrongs Jung-woo's evil-daddy has gotten up to as a means of destroying evil-daddy and gaining delicious, delicious vengeance. While Jung-woo, in solving the various murders crossing his path, will come at a different angle where he's also interested in uncovering past crimes, but for justice rather than vengeance. Who will prevail?

I second your hope they don't got the "Nice Guy" route and flub the ending. (I didn't hate the ending, but it could have been better and I think the story's theme suffered a bit which made me sad.)

@Ruth: I hand-wave the cheabol scheme as getting the ball rolling and keeping the plot plotting. It's a twisty, gothic family they've got going on but they're not the main event.

Ditto Bo-Ra's mom. Though, I appreciated her story more because of how it front-and-centered the treatment of rape victims and the punishment of rapists and the failures on both ends. Her vigilante actions ended up being unconnected to the main plot, but it kept Soo-yeon in country and made for important thematic commentary. (I love that Soo-yeon's mom played such a big role during those episodes.)

There is a lot of crying. A lot. So much that I know not to have my husband watch because crying bugs him. But! Like you say, if anyone has reason... Plus, it's not been repetitive crying, in that they're all shedding tears (vats and vats of tears) over different circumstances. Angry tears, resentful tears, scared tears, relieved tears, healing tears, resolved tears... they serve all kinds. ;)

"not an exciting drama compared to her previous dramas"

I like MY way more than LTM and MFL...yeah it's not a hit but i am enjoying the drama a lot.

Lol, skilled actors do not guarantee phenomenal ratings - just look at the Great Seer. Similarly, how can one judge that a drama is unexciting because of its ratings? How many Academy Award winning shows are actually box office hits?

I've watched Yoon Eun Hye in her last few dramas. Totally mehhh! However, in IMY she is slowly blossoming especially in the last episode. Her chemistry with PYC and YSH are total plus points.

what do you mean "skill actors?"

MY is really full of skilled actors and actresses . The veteran casts are all great.

YC / YSH, those two are really portraying their roles very well.

Just like YEH,
YSH and PYC are nailing it!

Feel sorry? The drama is doing pretty well and everybody loves YEH!

Girl, focus.

What did I say already? Hm. That amnesia is striking back again... Which is a good thing I guess: I don't spend my time ruminating a vengeance. You should also move on with your life and forget me unless I'm the center of your life... Incredible all that bitterness! I guess what I said about "some" melodrama is right for some people: It really tends to enhance bad feelings in certain hearts. Oh well, my oppas at least leave a wide smile on my face and I'd rather have that than a river of tears.
Have a nice Christmas nonetheless, gg.
