I can't wait for this drama time air. Song Joong Ki always had that boyish image to me, but he looks so manly here. ?

I can't wait but it's true kim eun sook dramas male lead is always rude and force the girl
Although people are crazy about Secret garden hyunbin, i despise how he treated Ha jiwon character. Same goes to kimwoobin an lee minho in the heirs.

i was really excited to see song joong ki again but then i was reminded how much i HATED lee min ho's character in Heirs. ugh it's like a reflex reaction to scowl every time i think of kim tan and his weirdly pink lipstick smirk. Hyun Bin's character was at least tempered by being Ha Ji Won's body and all the gender hijinks. but still a jerk.

sigh, i mean i guess SJK's character in Nice Guy wasn't so great to women either... so maybe this drama can be saved too. but so help me gawd Song Hye Gyo, if you play wide eye nube who gets dragged around by her wrist every which direction, I'ma smack the screen. i firmly hope for some feminist talkback. praise it sister!

Kim Eun Sook's male leads get worse with every drama, and unfortunately ratings are giving her the positive reinforcement which means this is only going to continue. It's a shame because she actually used to be a good writer - City Hall is my favourite drama of all time. But it seems like she's gotten drunk off her own success and stopped trying to create organic plot and conflict, and instead using extremes in her characters to create tension.

Here's news for you, KES: making your male lead an asshole/stalker is not a cute way to cause conflict; nor is makeing your heroine a poor doormat an easy way to create sympathy for her. It's just lazy, bad writing.

Slightly domineering IS sexy, no?

You know, this drama might just manage the impossible task of making me get mad at Song Joong-ki.

Which is astonishing, considering even Nice Guy didn't do that (and in that drama he actively lies to, uses and manipulates the love of his life, and they almost kill each other in a deliberate car crash)

Oh boy, here we go again..

I won't dismiss this out of hand yet despite Heirs being my current barometer of good (or in this case terrible) taste in dramas but I'm not holding my breath for this to wow me.

Since I did somehow super love Secret Garden once upon a time

So much prettiness. Song Joon Ki is somehow both adorably cute and sexy at the same time. I wonder how he does it.

I think I will watch this one after it is done airing and without reading the recaps here. I might or might not like this drama as I did not really hate Heirs like people here on Dramabeans (because it introduced me to Kim Woo Bin). Then again, I started my kdrama obsession with Boys Over Flowers and Heirs was only the second drama I watched. And I sure have matured since then.

Still I guess this seems like a drama to be enjoyed/ hated on its own :P

Heh. DB and Kim Eun-sook..... :D

But, hearing that voice, it's so heavenly !

The difference between Nice Guy and this writer's male characters is that in Nice Guy all that jerk behavior was treated as such. But in her world, being a jerk is portrayed as charming. Makes my blood boil.

I still can't look at Lee Min Ho the same way again. He needs to do Pinocchio stat. I want my City Hunter/Personal Taste days back.

Love Song Hye-gyo. Hate Kim Eun-sook. Love Lovers in Paris. Hate Kim Eun-sook and her recent bs dramas. City Hall was her last decent drama. (Not even Secret Garden) But I love Song Hye-gyo so this is definitely on watchlist zone. For, say, 2 episodes only.

Kim Eun-sook is still overrated tho

And might I add how happy -- delighted even -- I am that this is on KBS and not SBS. Of course it's no big deal, but it just makes me happy!

(But KBS' Producer rages me to the core I swear KBS must remove that drama from their credentials)

I'm so glad I haven't watched a single drama from Kim Eun Sook. I had a glimpse of Heirs and SeGa but did not watch a single ep(I ran away heh). So I can watch this without much fear.

I'm of course watching this for Song Joong Ki(and to a lesser extent - Kim Ji Won). I'm hoping that SJK manages to make this probably rage-inducing character endearing. And I hope that Song Hye Kyo's character isn't a doormat.

Anyways ~ Merry Christmas Beanies!!

Gotta be honest that my eyes like what they see so imma follow that lead for now.

Ugh but these two are so PRETTY. In a war zone of all places. Curious to see how the pre-shooting has turned out. Surely the directing should be spot on (and it's KBS)

The first teaser.... Doesnt help to attract viewers at all. Why should the teaser shows that SJK is a jerk?!

I still have a trauma from Heirs. Ha ha. I already avoided Pinocchio, it is not that i dislike PSH but i still have her image in Heir. Same goes to LMH.

Anyway i still dont know if this is in my watch-list or not. Gonna wait for more teasers and few first episodes.

Btw, SJK looks thinnier here, but looks manlier. SHK as usual is pretty. I hope SHK's character will be given more impact. She has many to give, not only staying as pretty woman.

Oh Soong Jong Ki, Why did you choose Kim Eun Seok drama? Why oh Why?

Now WHat I have to do is watch this drama, for My Kang Ma Ru's sake...

Oh well, maybe one or two eps, because I love and waited for SJK, but I don't feel the chemistry at all and it seems like this is going to be the kind of male lead I despise. Hated or was bored by all the writer's shows. *sigh*

While that "teaser" didn't really provide any information, it is good to see Song Joong-ki back.

He's certainly been missed.

This is so cheesy.

Since I can't understand Korean, I thought the subject was WAY MORE IMPORTANT involving war or something. Really disappointed, to be quite honest. But maybe I'm getting to old to watch dramas, since there's been a long time since I really liked something, although I'm really anticipating tvN's Signal.

Merry Christmas to you all :)

I have to say, SJK looks pretty sexy here. Blame that army uniform.... I have a thing for army guys... Yummy.... And that voice... Gosh... ???

OMG SJK oppa I missed you so much !!!! SHK is such a beautiful woman.
