@azzo1 and @yuelie Oppa’s face is even bigger here!

    LOL!

    Oppa is looking at me, he’s surprised that I look prettier under water! Maybe my green face doesn’t look so green in there!

      I was thinking that he’s looking at you in shock because you’re there looking at him…*giggles* What are you doing down there in the water anyway? Cooling off your big head on a hot day?

    Oppa would make a great Mr. Sunshine! But when will the filming for this drama start? I want Oppa to get some rest moving from one project to another, he already has CITT movie and Four Men, I want him to take care of himself, too!

      It’s so obvious he’s the best choice. He fits the age factor, he’s tall, good looking, he would look awesome in those period suits, has amazing acting range and speaks fluent American English. I think they’ll be filming maybe next year, once they’ve got the sets ready. Don’t worry your big head about Oppa, he’s resilient, he’ll be fine, and I’ll take good care of him.

        YESSS! I want to see him in those suits, he’ll look so fine and yes they should get someone who speaks good English and Oppa will be perfect! But why would you take care of him? I’ll be around, I’ll do it myself! I’ll eat with Oppa, watch movies and drink tea, too! And if he wants to sleep on the couch, sure, why not, my head fits the couch!

          That sounds sweet, all the things you want to do with him are all the things I want to do with him, too! Will you be making green tea? *giggles* Why would your head fit the couch? Isn’t it bigger than the couch?

          1
          1

            Actually, yes, I was thinking green tea, it will help de-sizing my head, if that doesn’t work I’ll just buy a huge couch, since Oppa’s head is big, too!

          I never knew that green tea could shrink one’s head and face.

          Oppa’s face is big, but his head is fine. Don’t you say his head is big now….*glares*

          Have you watched ep 11? I know what it is that’s bugging me. She’s acting too coy and cute around him, and it’s not working for me. It gives me the creeps to see her acting like that, it’s very unnatural and contrived, I much preferred her as hurt and sad, she was good at those and made me sad. This new DH is cringeworthy, and it is spoiling the chemistry for me. Oppa is great though as usual. They cut his hair, and he looks so gooddddd. They cut her hair in ep 12,they hacked off that fringe and made it even uglier than before….why, why????

          1
          1

            OMG!! Uglier hair? I didn’t think that was possible, how?! They cut Oppa’s hair, too? I was loving his longer hair but Oppa looks beautiful in all hairstyles so it’s fine, but Do-ha, WHY? Couldn’t watch it last night, planning to watch both episodes tonight, hopefully I’ll have time to watch them! It’s killing me to see the recap posted and not be able to comment *cries*

I do see that you gave me my lashes back and my natural blush in a form of hearts, that just shows how much in love I’m with Oppa! But my red lips are too red, it’s blinding, is it to look sexy to Oppa? *adds a passionate kiss scene in the script*

    Oh, and did Oppa give me his Op-pa emblazoned jacket? Aww, he wants to keep me warm because it’s cold!

    Well, you just earned yourself a human cameo in this drama!

      I’m glad you like it. It’s a spaceship head to match with the Dr Spock ears. I gave you pointy ears because I don’t want to give you a pointy chin. Pointy chin is mine. I gave you two pointy ears so you can work fast in the kitchen. If your right pointy ear gets tired cutting and slicing, your left pointy ear can take over….imagine you bending over with your ear to slice onions *laughing so hard here I’m crying*…..

      I made your spaceship head big and eye-catching because Oppa loves weird hair. The weirder it is, the more he’ll love you. DH’s hair is like so dull and normal compared to your spaceship hair. He’s so smitten with you look he’s giving you the eyes…*giggles* I put eyeshadow on you too, pale blue to match your ribbon. Must say you look really demure.

I also like the ears because they give an elvish look, I like elves!

    I watched this a long time ago when it was airing, and shipped Sang-woo and Ho-jung right from the start. She was annoying at first but then she grew on me and I wanted her to win his heart, which she did and I cried so much for her.

      He was a cold jerk, and she loved him so much, and I hurt so much for her, she was the sweetest person ever, and I loved two of them together, I preferred them so much more than his first gf, and was so excited when he switched to Ho Jung.

      I haven’t watched Doctor Stranger, but if he has his own love life with KSR, I may just watch. azzo, have you watched it? I’ll only watch if his own story gets developed and has closure. I don’t want him to be the moony *giggles* second lead. Was he in My Love from The Star as well? Was he rivaling KSH for the girl?

      I tried watching the Chinese drama, Far Away Love, but had to give up after one episode. Oppa’s voice was high and squeaky and the girl was overacting and so annoying.

        I watched both Doctor Stranger and My Love from the Starts, don’t watch Doctor stranger, it’s a frustrating drama, he does kiss KSR but there is no love line between them (you can check the kiss on youtube)
        MLFTS is good, I watched it for him, he was the sweet second lead, it hurts but he was cute!

        I tried his Chinese dramas, too, dropped them for the same reason as yours, the dubbed voice is so annoying!

    See, I want to watch CITT when I see clips like this but then I’ve also heard how the ending made so many people ragey. Should I put myself through it for this??

    0
    2

      I think mostly people built each other up to that rage + it was worsened by live-watching. I watched half a year after it aired, and except from a couple of eps around 14-15, I didn’t mind the ending/second half at all. It’s kind of open, but I thought it fit fine. And I don’t think the male lead was pushed out of the story (if I ignored the rl-drama behind it). I felt like he was still the main focus even when he wasn’t on screen, he was that much of a presence.

      So I’d suggest you give it a go yourself and see what you think. It’s really great, so even if you do end up agreeing with the majority about the end, it won’t have been a waste of time 😀

      3

        I did wonder if maybe the live watching contributed to people building up the negative hype surrounding CITT. It’s interesting that you pointed that out because I’ve never thought that watching it live and binge watching it made much of a difference until a beanie mentioned it too.

        Wow, PHJ must have built up a really good character to have such a big presence, even w/o being in the show. I’ll try it when I get some spare time and if I find that I really hate it by ep 14/15 I might just skip the ending!

        I actually quite like open endings bc I feel like the character’s story continues. It’s more realistic to me too- even though if it’s done badly I tend to want to pull my hair out haha

        2
        11

          I think it makes quite a big difference sometimes. For instance, with TLAHL, I don’t think it would’ve been built up to the “perfect” drama that it was seen as, if it weren’t for people being giddy about it together lol 😛

          Yes that, and the fact that his character was the center of everyone else. He’s the one that binds all the subplots and side characters together, so the story is centered around him even when he’s not there. If that makes sense?

          I love open endings ^^ Exactly, it feels more realistic. Personally the ending of CITT was what I’d hoped for when it comes to the OTP. I think most Beanies doesn’t like open endings, and most people in general perhaps, which may have contributed to the hate too. I don’t think it was too open and it felt realistic to me. If you ever do watch it and wanna discuss the ending, please let me know, I’d love to discuss it with someone else who doesn’t need closed endings 😀

          1
          1

            I know, definitely I think part of why I enjoyed it so much was everyone discussing it so much- it was fun to join in and add your own opinions🙃

            Wow I think I sort of get it but I won’t really understand till I watch it myself bc I can’t recall a drama where it’s centered around just one main character

            Open endings have so much more opportunity for you to imagine how the characters are doing. I love it when it seems more realistic too bc then I feel like my favourite characters could potentially exist irl (is that kind of sad lol)

            When I watch it, I’ll definitely find you to discuss the ending kaybee 😌

            1
            0

          It’s kind of hard to explain too lol and I haven’t seen anyone else mention it being centered around him, so it doesn’t seem to be something people have generally noticed?

          Haha not sad at all! I feel the same way 🙂 I like to be swept up by the illusion that it’s a real, existing world, however impossible it may be (like sci-fi for instance). I mean, it doesn’t transfer to the real world, like when people ship an OTP irl, but within the story’s world I like when it can really make you feel like it’s alive and that’s part of why I love open endings too. Real life doesn’t have closure. It’s literally a neverending story, so “and then they lived happily ever after” will often end up looking false.

          There are open ending that don’t work for me though. Like POSSIBLE SPOILER!!!!!! Signal. Which no one talks about, but that was such an unsatisfying end that literally rendered the entire drama pointless. But you know, again, I’m probably pretty much on my own with that opinion 😉

          I’ll look forward to it then! ^^

          1
          1

            I’ll be on the lookout for it 🙃 You’re making me very intrigued about it now haha

            Yeah it’s not just about the OTP irl (bc that rarely happens) but if there’s a the slightest chance that this drama could be something that’s happening in real life, they’re the ones that win. For the supernatural or fantasy aspect, the more they make the premise believable- the more hooked I’ll be. If it’s something absurd and new rules are added all the time, it drives me crazy i.e W two worlds (it did so well at the beginning and then new rules were added all the time from out of no where)

            Also if it’s a neat happy ending, there’s less chance for it to get better (god I’m such a pessimist haha)

            I’ve not watched signal yet, it’s very near the top of my to watch dramas though. Have you watched tomorrow with you bc that made me feel a similar way. Where was the clever plot twist? Nothing changed ughhhhh

            1
            0

          W seriously bored me, which is weird since I love sci-fi and have liked pretty much every other drama that LJS has starred in. It started even before the rule-adding. I think the premise had some interesting ideas and themes, but it was clear from the beginning that it would end up a mess.

          Haha I know the feeling! Sometimes all I can think is “yeah, yeah, but then two years after someone gets sick or dies or has an affair or they can’t agree about how to bring up their child or she’ll want more from life than just being a housewife” and the list goes on lol 😛

          Time travel dramas tend to go wrong, so I didn’t even attempt to start, despite Shin Minah. And now verything I’ve heard about it makes me not want to watch even more.

            I really loved W to begin with, that’s why it was so annoying to me when the quality went downhill towards the end. I’m getting so picky with dramas recently though, I swear if it doesn’t capture my interest in the first two episodes- I find it so easy to drop them (I used to hate not finishing a drama)

            Hahaha exactly. So many real life reasons that people just have to work through and get over with. It was my first time travel drama so I was hoping it would be good because of the cast- another case of a drama that I enjoyed with at the beginning but then the miscommunication was so irritating to watch

            Are there any dramas that you would recommend with a solid plot?

            1
            0

          I think the 2 first eps can often be really different from the rest, because they’re still finding their feet – like the pilot ep of most American shows. But at the same time, if I get farther than ep 2, I have an extra hard time dropping a show. It’s easiest when I drop it at ep 1.

          Miscommunication is literally the cause of 90% of all kdrama troubles lol!

          Ahhh… Hmmm… Well…. Asking me for recommendations is always risky haha, I tend to give too many – and with notes too 😛 But I’ll try and be brief (easier since tight plots in dramaland is really rare lol):

          LOVED with pretty much bulletproof plots (they don’t exist, but y’know close to):
          – Task Force 38
          – I Remember You (I think it belongs here? At the very least on the next-highest level of solid plots heh)
          – Misaeng
          – Reply 1988
          – The Good Wife

          SOLID plots but I, subjectively, didn’t love it – can see why others would though:
          – Chief Kim
          – Ho Gu’s Love/Fool’s Love
          – It’s Okay, That’s Love
          – School 2013 (not entirely sure, it’s been a while)

          MOSTLY solid plots and good stuff to make up for plotholes:
          – Drinking Solo (nvm the OTP lol, the rest is gold)
          – Pied Piper
          – CITT
          – Pinocchio and I Can Hear Your Voice (90% every drama-fan has seen these two lol, but including them anyways, since I think the plots were fairly solid, enough so for me to bingewatch)

          CAN’T REMEMBER completely since it’s been a long while, but I loved it then and seem to remember the plots being pretty solid?:
          – Heart to Heart
          – We Broke Up
          – The Lover

          You’ve probably seen several of them already, but since I don’t know, I just included all the ones from mydramalist that seemed to fit the bill ^^ Except for the category that I didn’t subjectively love, all of these are among my faves and I’d rewatch them all if I had the time 🙂

            I find that most shows make me really want to watch it at the beginning but then towards the end I don’t, so I find it pretty easy to drop them.

            I know, that’s why when a drama comes which keeps the miscommunication to a minimum and it’s based on actual conflict, I get a little too excited. It’s just refreshing to see characters overcome difficult problems together!

            Omg that’s a brill list, merci kaybee!!? I’ve actually only seen two of those dramas on your list (IRY and Pinocchio- IRY was SO good but sad and clever and just fab)

            If we ever found a drama with a bulletproof plot, that will be THE day haha😛

          For me it’s both that and vice versa. Lots of shows start of good but become awful at the end, but I’ve also seen a lot that took me a while to warm up to and then I ended up loving it 🙂

          You’re welcome ^^ Wow, only two of them? You’ve got a lot to look forward to then! And yes, IRY is amazing! It’ll always be one of my favorites.

          Haha yeah. Misaeng and TF38 might just be bulletproof though? They were soooo good plot-wise (and everything-else-wise hehe).

            When I first started watch dramas, I tended to go for the cute rom com ones but I find that some of them are really similar so I’ve tried branching out lol

            I only recently finished IRY but dayum PBG really slays this role, him and SIG had such a bittersweet relationship though☹️

            I’ve heard so many great things about misaeng but I don’t think I actually know what it’s about? Is it a drama about office workers and their struggles? I want to search for it on wiki but I did that for IRY and got spoilers😪

            1

          Ahh I see ^^ Yes, they do tend to get pretty similar, which can be nice, but also annoying heh.

          Tbh it was the SIG-bug I caught from that drama, not the PBG one lol. Hadn’t seen either of them before at that time, but SIG’s charisma and acting really wow’ed me. Also got really interested in D.O.’s acting and Choi Won Young because of it.

          Ah, well yes. That’s about it lol. It’s more of a slice-of-life drama about ordinary people, which might sound dreadfully dull (at least that’s why I hesitated to watch it at first), but it just grips you heart and soul. The first couple of eps felt kind of oppresive to me and were a bit hard to watch, but I completely binged the rest. It’s amazing. Just beware that there’s not really any romance (rare for kdrama, so I feel like a warning’s in order, since you mentioned loving romcoms hehe).

          1

            Also, it’s kind of an underdog story, so I guess that’s one way to describe the plot? A team’s struggle to rise above the circumstances?

            D.O was so creepy, I thought he did really well in his role too but I haven’t seen him in anything yet! I actually first watched SIG in masters sun but didn’t really realise it was him till later on if that makes sense haha.

            I’m okay with dramas that don’t have romance as long as they are gripping and exciting to watch. Ohhh okay, so would you say it’s pretty believable or are there elements which make it seem a little too dramatic.

            I love a good underdog story🙃

          He was SO creepy! I’ve also seen him in It’s Okay That’s Love where he’s also good and then in a webdrama which was bad, though he did fine haha.

          Oh it’s totally believable! I think that’s why it got such high ratings, because it reflects the life of many ordinary Koreans. The opening scene threw me at first as it seems really webtoonish lol, but it’s so short and everything else is just awesome ^^

          Then I’ve actually seen him in two. Had completely erased EXO Next Door from my mind haha 😛 The one I was talking about is ‘Positive Physique’ or something, where he plays a college filmmaker – probably the most normal role I’ve ever seen him in lol.

          You’ve got exams too atm? Same here. I’m on a semi-drama/DB ban haha, it’s not perfect, but I’ve cut down tremendously while doing this exam, so props to me? 😛 Hope your exams are going good and that you’ll soon be free and enjoying the summer!

          I can’t really seem to focus on dramas rn, even when taking a break, so I’ve just been watching random yt vids and variety shows when I crash at night lol.

      I would say you should. It’s a refreshing drama, and it was the drama that brought me back to korean drama and dramabeans. I’d got so bored with the same dramas that kept churning out and had effectively stopped watching Korean dramas totally for 1 1/2 years until Cheese. I didn’t know what was going on, but it made the news, and out of curiosity, I went in when it was airing episode 14. I didn’t read any of the recaps, nothing, but I knew there was some controversy going on, didn’t care, just started watching and was hooked immediately. Round about episode 8, I think, I felt there was something funny going on, but I continued watching, because like kaybee says, Yoo Jung was so much of a presence he was there even when he was not – does that make sense to you? Watch it, it’s so different, and funny, and quirky, I love it and I consider it one of my most favorite dramas despite the shortcomings.

      1
      2

        I admit I have read up a lot about the controversy and I’m hoping that won’t affect the way I view CITT when I watch it. I feel like I’ll be definitely looking out for the episode where it started to ‘go wrong’.

        I don’t really know much about the plot (which I usually search up before hand lol) so I’m excited to see what that brings. Tbh I could watch a drama just for its characters so if they’re complex and interesting enough, I wouldn’t really mind if the plot is shocking

            Oh no, no, no! Don’t start with the giggles, please! Remember, Oppa likes quiet girls! Shh!

            Actually, come to think of it, I started giggling because Oppa likes quiet girls. It’s more ladylike to giggle than to laugh like a hyena.

      I stopped giggling a whiles back. The stress of waiting for you made my giggles die a natural death.

        LOL! I was at work and then I got busy watching episode 10! What do you think about it?

          Have you watched it? I liked it way better than 9. The kiss could have been better though, I remember his kiss in CiTT on the bench, that was so swoon worthy.

            It looked kind of awkward with their clamped lips. Maybe the director wanted it that way.

            Yes, and I liked it better than episode 9, too! And the kiss, I kept thinking: Oppa you can kiss better than that!

            Ah, you felt the same way too? So disappointed. The first kiss was also pressing together, but it was okay, because it was a surprise kiss. The second kiss she kissed him, also pressing together, I thought, she’s a novice at this…but the third kiss should have been wayyy better like that kiss on the bench in CiTT.

            Strong Woman and Weightlifting Fairy had good kisses, and I was surprised that the kiss here was so tame. I thought Korean dramas had moved beyond lamppost kisses.

            Yeah, the bench kiss was so good! Chicago Typewriter has good kisses, too! You know what, I decided to try and enjoy everything the show throws at me, it’s tiring to be conflicted all the time!

          That’s why he confuses me even more every time he half-confesses. If he loved her so much (and honestly, where is it coming from?), why do I feel like he is forced to kiss her!?

            I know! I’ve been so confused with everything he did so far! There is no explaination as to why he loves her (if he does really), the show is funny and I’m enjoying it (I get to see Oppa, of course I’ll enjoy it) but I wish there was more focus on Seol-woo’s feelings towards her, just tell us, dammit, you like her or not!

            That is one of the most saddest kisses I have ever seen. Can you even call that a kiss? I was waiting for a sizzling kiss to show me how much he’s burning for her, but that kiss was just very, very sad. There wasn’t any fire, nothing. It was just two lips clamped together pressing together. I’m watching a romance here, so if you give me lame kisses, the romance just fizzles out. I’d rather there were no kissing scenes at all. My Princess was the same, too, the kisses were so, so bad.

          The show is funny, the action is good, the characters are adorable but…I don’t feel the chemistry between them. No, worst, there are more chemistry between the bromance than the romance!

            Same! I’m not sold on the romance and we’re already at episode 10, I don’t know what the other 6 episodes are going to bring, hopefully, an understanding to Seol-woo’s emotions!

          Someone asked once if “you would rather watch a bad script/good chemistry drama or a good script/bad chemistry drama”. I said that I can’t think of a good script/bad chemistry drama because most of the time, it’s the opposite!
          Well, here it is lol!

Lovers tactic…so romantic.

This was sad, somehow.

    The fact that he even has to explain that his actions are not a tactic, because now she suspects everything. T_T I think he mustn’t feel great about what he did, poor SW! But I kind of wish he’d apologized to her at least.

      Her face, as she’s stunned when he says something so sincere, and then she’ll switch to her knowing look and say, that’s your sincerity tactic…and I saw hurt there, poor, poor DH. He destroyed her trust in him totally.

    I don’t know, for me it is hard to sympathize with him. Of course I see the signs that he has fallen for her and it is beautiful and I’m definitely shipping them, but still he NEEDS to feel the pain he has caused those women that he used. Sure, he didn’t do it because he was an a**hole or anything, but because of his mission, still, this doesn’t make it alright. Toying with somebodies heart is one of the cruelest things one can do and he needs to get some perspective.

      He hasn’t apologized so far, it’s more like, it was in line with my mission, sorry, too bad. I think he’s definitely going to be rattled soon somehow, she’s going to get hurt in a big way, and he’s going to feel pain and regret for what he’s done.

      And the part he was prepared to romance the agent also showed that he’s continuing to do the same thing he has been doing all the while, romancing as a tactic and an ends to a means. That was an eye-opener for me, like okay, he’s falling for DH, but he’ll still romance other girls if it’s necessary. Hard to see how DH is going to live with this guy even though they may end up together in the end, unless he gives up his spy job for her and takes on a day job, which I think he will, in the end.

        I don’t know if I want him to give up his spy job for her, but I would like for him to stop romancing as a tactic. It just feels a little like he is prostituting himself.
