“The episode starts out promising.”
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. For all you readers who are all the way up to Episode 21, how funny does this sound now? My goodness. This… thingy doesn’t deserve to be called a drama. Hyuk, you idiot. Haha. HeadsNo2 deserves a lot for writing the following recaps. JB and GF, omo, is this gonna be the first drama in dramabeans history with a score less than 3/4 on the ratings list? :O

Good luck Heads, one more(?) episode!! Hwaiting! (:

..wow this is exactly like the Japanese version…it even has that creepy fetus thingy. Is it adapted from that? Personally, I like the Jap version better. Like you said, this is kind of over the place where when you think comedy is happening..its suppose to be serious? lol yeah….

You have stated perfectly my biggest peeve with JIN’s remake. And reading through the comments, I was starting to think I was the only one who was really bothered by it…

But like I said in my comment, there’s a loveliness in the usurpation of expectation I think K-dramas miss out on… He still ends up with the naiive/virginal girl in the end (well, more so in the manga version… but where the J-dorama lacks in the ending, the manga makes up for ten-fold) But everything about future-doctor-girlfriend’s fate and her connection with Nokaze, a *gasp* /prostitute/… was shocking, and sad, and bittersweet, and Jin had a huuuge part of him wanting to fix something for her because she was so often “broken” in the future and the past…

But where Korean dramas do so /right/ so often with sweet and sappy, the Japanese are masters at bittersweet…

And on another note, what was so wonderful about him ending up with Saki is that he didn’t even expect it. He had NO tie to this girl, and didn’t think of her that way in the least (at first) he admired her, but she was falling in love with him.

And for Jin, seeing future gf as a prostitute, was so jarring, but eventually he reconciled the fact that despite appearances it wasn’t actually her…

I’m just so mad that Korea’s obsession with cliche is probably going to kill the fantastic turmoil, and topping it all off with bad direction…

I’ll wait a few weeks though, to see how it cleans this up, if it can, if it will…

I wanted to see this version so badly, the Japanese version is freaky weird, but still sooo interesting… but really I draw the line at switching Saki with Nokaze. I mean, WTF.

The turmoil that resulted in him falling in love with this naive but eager girl entirely in the past (Saki) versus his need to save the woman he loves in the future (Miki-Nokaze/Doctor-Prostitute) despite the imperfect relationship…

There’s no turmoil in falling in love with a girl in the past you’re already in love with in the future. It’s too cliche… it takes away the loveliness of “I thought I wanted this relationship… but I was wrong…” And even the viewers own realization of “Even though I thought they’d be the focus, this is /much/ better…”

This will kill his character development. Unless Young-rae/Miki/Saki? marries her fiance and actually leaves him, and he /does/ end up with the prostitute…

I am so depressed… I wanted the Korean version of /Jin/ now I’m getting the Korean… book to movie inspiration. The book is always better. :/

It looks like a fetus because it is a fetus. It’s a medical condition where when a baby is formed, it wants to split into twins, but for some reason it incompletely splits and one twin never completely develops. The guy DOES have a fetus in his brain and it’s prob his never-will-be brother. However, the drama is leaning toward the fact that the fetus is an conscious being from the past??? We’ll have to see.

Wanted to watch this drama because of Jaejoong but was super disappointed. Really cheesy and it’s super choppy. ROOFTOP PRINCE WAS THE BEST DRAMA!….and then there’s Queen Inhyun and Dr.Jin who kind of go for the whole time-traveling thingg..not exactly working o_o I think i’m just going to rewatch Rooftop Prince
