		<description>I really like this drama! Its one of the best I ever seen. Much more thrilling and not the usual cry-drama like winter sonata. U love me, I love him, he love u, u love me Zzzzz

Although this drama still has such links but at least life dont revolve on the love alone. Initially a bit slow but after Jang Hyuk picked up his skills or in the process of finding the skills, my gosh, so interesting! I am now watching the part that he met someone in the prison... so I am looking forward to the next broadcast via cable tv. cant wait to see it!!! Although initially i am afraid I wont like it because its abt &#039;flowers card&#039; but then, as the story goes, u will know 3 and 8 kwang is highest hahahahaha. plus some tiny stuffs here n there. Interesting! Really worth watching and janghyuk, all the artistes are wonderful in this drama.</description>

		<description>Tazza was definitely a darker drama and what really turned me off was the desperation in people and gambling.  Both topics which are not particularly interesting for me.  I couldnt make myself watch more than 5-6 episodes, its not my cup of tea.</description>

		<description>This was a pretty predictable linear gambling drama from how it had panned out in the beginning. Well, at least I got the ending correct. I thought Jang Hyuk was quite over in some scenes while Han Ye Seul was pretty much insignificant frankly. Kim Min Joon did a really good portrayal of his Young Min character and you gotta feel sorry for his fate at the end. Kim Gab Soo as Ah Gwi was once again awesome as the villain. Overall not too bad but my failure to understand Go Stop with Hwatu (flower cards) which was the centerpiece of the drama spolit the viewing pleasure somewhat. Moral of the story, gambling is the root of all evil!</description>

		<description>Agreeing with someone upstream who said they didn&#039;t watch the show but having an open thread like this would be a good indicator of what to watch in the future based on viewer comments.</description>

		<description>Confession: I&#039;m a fan of both Jang Hyuk and Kim Min Joon, and I planned to watch Tazza because they were both in it. I very much enjoyed the drama although, like some other commenters, I could easily have done without all the background, younger days set-up. It was hard to see the actors pretending to be young, and I think it could have been done differently. We needed to see what was motivating the characters, but there were other ways to give us that information. Regardless of any affection for JH and KMJ, had the drama been terrible, I might have given up, but it wasn&#039;t. (Sidebar:  I never understood why the Air City recaps continued here, because even Lee Jung Jae couldn&#039;t save that disaster. At least the Worlds Within recaps have ceased. Wish that drama has turned out better, but....)

Anyway, there was a great deal to like in Tazza. For one thing, there was plenty of humor. Jang Hyuk is not just an excellent dramatic actor; he can do comedy really well (anyone who saw Please Teach Me English wouldn&#039;t be surprised). There were touching scenes, there were exciting scenes. Sets were good, locations were well chosen. The camera work was fantastic and  the music was great. The supporting cast was really good. Cons included HYS, who has no range and had no chemistry with JH. He did his very best, but their &quot;romance&quot; was never believable. This wasn&#039;t a drama for the romance junkies. Also, to be fair, the parts for the two principal female characters were not written so that one could learn much about them. Those characters were reduced in many instances to mere plot devices.

The ratings for Tazza increased steadily and might have been even better save for competition from EOE (which I tried to watch but gave up after 9 or 10 episodes...overwrought, overdone, and a lot of bad acting....). Once the early stuff was out of the way, I was never bored with Tazza. For me, the episodes passed quickly, and I was always involved and entertained. I will never tire of watching Jang Hyuk do his stuff, and KIm Min Joon looked absolutely great in Tazza and handled his role well. Viva Tazza!</description>

		<description>Tazza didn&#039;t grab my attention, I really liked the sound of it but when ever I#d sit down to watch my attention would drift. 

I liked the idea of the plot, gambling seen from the con artist&#039;s pov was interesting and I liked seeing all the tricks being learned and foiled.
I think it came down to the cast, the romance was lack luster and I didn&#039;t find any of the characters engaging. As hot as the second male lead was, really really hot, it wasn&#039;t enough to keep me watching.

@Javabeans- I like this idea. I know you&#039;re a Kdrama blog but it&#039;d be interesting to open it up to other popular asian dramas too.A random drama sound off if you will.</description>

		<description>Forget Tazza, GH2, World within..
The only good, new drama that&#039;s currently airing is MBC daily drama &quot;I love you, don&#039;t cry.&quot; I won&#039;t blame anyone for getting addicted on it as it&#039;s getting more and more fans in soompi.</description>
