I wouldn’t say I like his character as a person but as a character in a show I like him a lot because he’s entertaining and although he’s annoying he is HILARIOUS! I laugh in most of the scenes he’s in.

Although the thought of a high schooler and a 30+ years old doctor is a bit creepy, I would love for the two to hit it off. Haha. They *Kye Sang* are so cute. I died a couple of times because of Kye Sang’s toothy wrinkly smile.

i totally agree with you. i never watched high kick 1, but apparently it was better than high kick 2 (which i absolutely loved….completely, except well…the ending).
this doesn’t match up to half the high kick 2 for now.

there’s no special character, the characters don’t stand out much, nor are they memorable. the arguing makes it really irritating, unlike when it was hilarious with lee soonjae grandpa in high kick 2. ahn nae sang and baek jin hee are really irritating characters to me right now….hope they get better soon…

i hope this series will develop into a good one soon….and get rid of that debt that doesn’t have any storyline anyways.

Thank you for the great recaps! It came just in time when I realized I wanted to start watching entire episodes of K-sitcoms. I only started watching cuts of scenes which included pop idols.

I’m quite unimpressed with Krystal’s acting in this sitcom. She slowly (and firmly) became my f(x) favorite because her acting seemed so natural in her previous sitcom, and her personality was very likeable on variety shows (none of that forced aegyo).
Compared to More Charming by the Day, I noticed that she has more English dialogue in High Kick 3 and that her acting seems so calculated when she speaks in English. I don’t know why. It’s not the high-pitched voice. She practically grew up with English but there’s something about her character’s “LA Girl” image that does not rub the viewer the right way. It could be flawed directing and that Krystal lacks the comedic subtlety to pull it off.

On another note, which DOES NOT have any bearing on her acting: she’s losing her American accent. I’ve been following her variety show appearances and it’s blatant now. I’m Asian myself, and grew up with an American accent. I lost it for a while when I lived in England, now I’m older and am now back to my American accent. Just saying so because I understand how easy it is to adopt an English accent of a different culture.

I can’t say any of this on YouTube because stans there think that any comment that does not equal to idol worship makes you less of a fan. There is no room for sensible discourse.

I hope someone had the patience to read my lengthy comment. I’d really like to hear someone’s opinion on Krystal’s acting!

Thank you for this recap!

I just managed to watch these episodes, and I’m totally hooked now! The first week’s episodes were just okay, but episodes 4-9 were hilarious and fun.

I am seriously digging the Jiwon-Kyesang friendship/romance! How cute is it that cool and aloof Jiwon has a crush on her neighbour-doctor-hottie? I’m shipping them already.

But Julien’s character is just….bland. He may be good looking but he has NO chemistry with anyone. I feel bad for Krystal, it must feel like acting with a wall.

I’m gonna watch episodes 10-12 now!

I really enjoyed this recap. Thanks so much, Gummimochi!

This High Kick is way better than the other two so far. Granted I haven’t seen much of either of the other two, but I like this better. The bromance between Nae-sung and Julien is hilarious. Also, I think Nae-sung is my favorite character. Go Mole Man!

So you don’t like it becasue it doesn’t focus exclusively on inane teenage/youngpeople romance? Breaking news, there’s a bunch of other dramas out there catered just for you.
