No I think Yoon Joo is even a better acted character. You are right the actress makes Yoon Joo an intensive character. I think she understands and acts her really well. Far better than in Heartstrings (she was annoying there).
In Heartstring she felt out of place but this world fits her pretty well.

I agree. I don’t dislike a single character. They are obviously not real, but their motivations do not seem so far out there like it often does in many of the other dramas. Love it.

Finally , SK became herself before . Brave , honest and pure which SJ love because it’s her nature .
She changes because some one make her dissapointed but her nature can’t change easily .
Hope she will be strong more enough to keep SJ walk together with her on the long way even though it’s so hard .

Yep.. The fact that we are so much affected with the character of HSK, only means how good the actor portraying it is. I’m glad it’s MGY, as usual, she’s doing one great performance. It’s about time we have a leading lady with a flawed character and a leading man loved by many. CA, so far for me, is one of the best kdrama to come out in years. I hope it remains good as we venture further to its finale. I’m not looking forward for an extension coz usually, that ruins the good vibes.

Saboriana, regarding Yoon Joo, I find your higher-level analysis far more likely than those superficial predictions that came before yours. It is in this drama’s DNA to not take well-traveled paths.

I wish I could say that all these turns kept me glued to screen, but I could not. Somewhere around Episode 8, it lost my interest. It is a good, earnest drama but it no longer engages me.

The fact that her character, and how Moon is portraying HSK, have evoked so many reactions from viewers is a testament to I think, Moon’s skill and proficiency as a thespian. HSK wasn’t written to be an endearing and cute character. It’s always easy to love the quirky and over the top, the flawed hero and earnest prince or candy. HSK is such a complex and rich character, I detest her actions, but I don’t hate her. Her actions don’t define her, and I see her growth evolve before my eyes. CSJ too is a character not want of depth, but because portrayed comically in part, I find harder to relate to. While his story are those fantasies and dreams are made of; hers pulls me back on earth, and make me look deep within myself, and at society and her sad realities.

You are absolutely right..I agree with you.
She’s so confused with what decision she will make but other viewers find it annoying that she is always frowning or sad but it is so literal specially to Se Kyung’s case..

Yoon Joo is really not that bad of a person.. it was just her last resort to give up Seung Joo for her dreams.. and i think she really liked him before.. she was hurt when she left Seung Joo and saw him again..

Yeah i hope so too that Yoon Joo will help Se Kyung.. not to become a bitch but to become stronger in order for her to fight for her love and realize her dream as well..

Some people find Moon’s acting to be wooden and expressionless in this drama. My thoughts: In the drama, Se Kyung has deliberately schooled her face into a blank – at times, dead – mask to deal with life’s hardships and to hide all the turbulent emotions warring inside her mind and heart. I think Moon the actress understands Se Kyung the character perfectly and she has analysed the character in depth and decided this is what Se Kyung would be like – a girl with two faces, if you will – the subdued, outwardly grateful, respectful, deferential poor girl who bows to all her social superiors, and the inner real her: resentful, bitter, cynical, angry, screaming out in pain at the world and its unfairness, demanding equal treatment and an end to class barriers. She only shows her true face to Tommy and YJ for they are her social equals. With Seung Jo, she is cautious now – where before she was easy and comfortable with Secretary Kim – because SJ is now her social superior. Her speech now with the Artemis President is subdued and careful, where before she was spontaneous and funny and irreverent. I kind of miss that.
