Thank you for this painting. It reminds me of You from Another Star, because of some of its themes, and because DMJ actually had 2 telescopes in his apartment. I really love the pastel colors used for the painting, and how evocative the whole image is and feels.

We're watching it. My (fireman) husband balked at the stupidity of parking of fire trucks in a collapsing tunnel, but so far we like it.

Beautiful!

I'm watching or was watching b/c of the child actors. They were really, really fantastic. The music was really good as well.

I assume her dad kept them apart because of the whole eyes thing and how they came to be hers.

Episode 3 wasn't as bad as I feared it would be, so I'll continue watching it cautiously. The adult leads have managed to have some chemistry, but it doesn't come close to the teenagers yet.

Wow! I didn't realised that the first image was a drawing until I read this post. It's a beautiful drawing and you're very talented!

I'm very much emotionally invested in this drama and have immensely enjoyed the story with its younger counterparts. I watched ep 3 and it's really killing me the way this story is progressing. Not in the negative way but in the I-know-I-will-cry -in-every-episode-if-it-continues-like-this. The second lead guy Ji Woonie is bloody cockblocking my OTP! GO AWAY!!

Beautiful drawing.

Despite some inconsistencies I liked the drama very much. I watched the 4th ep. already and though I have to forgive many inconsistent details (oh, all the long talk at the minute of danger really gets to my nerves...and all that noble idiot stuff ... and many more), It still retains something for the heart. Something little that thugs your heartstrings a bit. I will try and see where further it's headed but so far it was quite good.

I enjoyed the first two episodes (loved the portrayal from the younger counterparts) and I think if its 20 episodes there will be enough drama to carry it. The fact that Soo Wan thinks Dong Joo just up and left her and the whole mess with someone killing Dong Joo's mom in the hospital and Soo Wan's dad potentially not saving her in order to donate her eyes to Soo Wan will be the main plot and secret that will keep the leads apart. Since none of the winter/spring dramas really peaked my interest and I'll have to keep my eyes on this weekend drama. Btw your drawing is superb and captures a sweet moment of this drama.

I do watch it, and kang ha neul is ADORABLE with his satoori ?

Nam Ji Hyun ... I hope we see a lot more of her in the future!

Was waiting for a mention of angel eyes to pop up on DB. I might check it out. Cheers, Fanderay!

I liked the drama a lot as well, partly because I thought they made really good use of the OST and all. The whole vibe of the drama just appeals to me much better than Hotel King.

On a side note, I'm kind of torn over the 2 possible pairings. I know that Goo Hye-sun will probably go with Lee Sang-yoon in the end but I'm a big fan of Kim Ji-suk (even though I don't really see his character playing a big part in the plot) and I would love to see him get the girl. Thought KJS will have more opportunities after his army stint but he's still stuck with 2nd lead roles even with cable dramas. *Sigh*

Anyway, I never really found faults with GHS's acting and I think she's doing a pretty decent job so far. At least I don't find her acting awkward and cringeworthy unlike Song Ji-hyo (and even though I like Mong-ji a lot, her acting in EC was kind of bleh).

You, my dear, are immensely talented. I really admire your work. Such a deft hand.

I attempted watching this drama but I really didn't like it. Like you said, there was unrealistic character writing (I was so in disbelief that teenage version of hero was sobbing so uncontrollably because of heroine's blindness) and plot contrivances. It made me groan. Plus, my idea of melo is not seeing characters sobbing so much...it's more about being able to feel their angst and sorrow from the heart. In that vein, I hope you pick up Wonderful Season and do a scene from there. Not only is the cinematography really good (you'll have lots of choices for pretty scenes) but the storyline is subtly touching. Perhaps the best weekend drama I've seen thus far. The villains aren't cartoony or screechy.....multiple lovelines develop nicely at a slow but satisfying pace....and the family dynamics are wrought with interesting relations. Please give it a try. =)

Dear Fanderay, you are really talented, your work amazes me each I look at them. I knew of your work thru Softy's blog as some of your work was featured there, I am so glad I get a weekly dose of your work here at DB.
I love the first 4 eps of Angel Eyes, the teenage OTPS were so great in their portrayal of first love and great chemistry. I fell in love with DJ's mum, why can't Kdramas have more of such mums?? The adult OTPs are such eye candies, I just can't believe my eyes, so much loveliness, cuteness and dimples. DJ's longing looks and his voice when calling HW's name kill me each time and those tears are so heart wrenching. I love the drama poster too... So cheery and bright. Thanks Fanderay .?

I like the painterly style.

This is one of my favorite drama for today, highly recommended! ANGEL EYES!

What a lovely painting!
I liked that moment in episode 1 too, even if it is a little cheesy as you say. She's so fiercely determined not to loose her love of stargazing that she can see them despite her blindness.

Let's see, out of the people we know who acted in BoF :

1) hoping that Gu Hye Sun keeps up her good performance in Angel Eyes which looks like a promising love story. Like all kdramas, it comes with the obligatory Truck of Doom coined by Quiet Thoughts if I remember correctly, the apologetic dad with a secret, the fiancé, etc. I like Soo-Wan in a paramedic job and living out the ambition of Dong-Soo's childhood dream of being a firefighter (I guess there is no female firefighter).

2) Lee Min Jung has proved her acting prowess yet again with the latest Cunning Single Lady.

3) Transformation of Kim Hyun Joong who tried hard with Age of Feeling.

They may not have garnered "high" drama ratings in Korea or achieved the kind of fans-frenzy like Lee Min Ho, but we need to give them credit for their hard work and not giving up in the face of criticisms. Hope they will continue to select good scripts and improve on their craft.

I am loving this drama the OTP is so sweet in the child portion and I loved Soo Wan with Dong Joo's family, they were so heartwarming and wonderful, I miss that so much in the adult portion

Fingers crossed the adult OTP will be just as awesome as the teenagers

Ngl, I kind of want to watch the first few episodes just for Kang Haneul. The storyline doesn't interest me at all though.

Anyway, that's a beautiful piece of art, Fanderay. I love how it looks like watercolurs. It definitely evokes a soft, cozy feeling.

Fanderay, your artistic talent is quite amazing <3. Thank you so much for sharing.

Love your painting! Your posts are always refreshing and beautiful.
As for angel eyes, it's currently a no go for me. I've been deeply scarred by Gu Hye Sun's acting thus feel an immense aversion to even thinking of touching this show. I'll wait to hear what y'all say when it ends and then decide.

I love all of your paintings so much!!! The way that you capture the moment through your abilities is pretty awesome:)

I watched drama for its OST, which is my favourite lasse lindh's. And my crush of Nam Ji Hyun in the teaser too and I'm glad I watched childhood counterpart.

There is something about this show that keeps me glued to the screen. Not for the melodramatic scenes, but for the ones that makes my heart flutter and the ones that make me genuinely tear up for the characters. Plot contrivances and suspense of belief is nothing new in k-dramas, particularly in melodramas. There are certainly some over-the-top scenes when they shift to the emergency room/hospital setting, however, I still think this show is a cut above the rest in comparison to other melodramas. The warm and fuzzy feels is reminiscent of the childhood portion in Will It Snow For Christmas, but better executed.

Thanks fanderay for the beautiful art! You're not the only one watching this show! It's slowly gaining traction with viewers.

i LOVE this drama - especially the first two episodes with the younger actors. i wish they gave them more screen time - and since it's too late now, more flashback scenes please!
anyway, the adult actors are good and i think GHS improved since the BOF days :)

I'm watching! Love Lee Sang Yoon!

I liked Ep.1 and Ep.2 and I'll watch it further to really decide whether to watch it or not. The story is tried and tested, nothing new but I like it. I hope Gu Hye Sun is better than she was in The Musical which was pretty bad for me because of her weird speech which she picked from somewhere otherwise she is pretty decent actress (Jill of all trades which I admire) and better in Sageuks.
Kang ha Neul needs to be the lead already. He has the required package.

Every time I see this post I realize yet another drama I should be watching. Why, why, why?

Every time i forget that in Fanderay's posts, the top image is a drawing....i read the whole article before realizing yet again -___- amazing work!!!

I looove this drama!!! Ooohh and your art are so fantastic.. Thank you!! ^^

If you're afraid of watching this drama because of pre assumptions then I'll tell you to just let go of that for a moment and take time to watch it.. ^^

The young leads had done fantastic job and the mature ones had done justice to the roles as per Episode 4.. Sometimes dramas like this that make you cry can be so heartwarming. ^^ I've cried a bunch of tears T_T

Episode 5 will be at Saturday... Palii Palii ^^

Oh my heart!!! I just finished watching Ep. 3 and 4 and my heart appayo... This is my type of drama but this anguish I was avoiding...makes me depressed for a long long time... I cried a lot... Soulmate... eternal kind of love... SIGH.... I am watching it!
Gu Hye Sun has improved soooo much! She acted well and expressed her emotions so well. Also thank God, that weird accent is gone from The Musical. She looks so fragile, like a doll. So pretty!
Lee Sang-yoon, I am your official fan now!

I love this drama! I hope you guys recap it every week! :D

I just love it a lot its kind of sweet and beautiful love story can't wait 4 nxt ep.

IM HOOKED! I like the love triangle between Lsy, ghs and kjs! Your painting is lovely btw.

Episode 4 was great! Not only am I a Boston native, but a huge Bruce Springsteen fan as well. The scene in the bar in Boston with "Hungry Heart" playing made me feel so good.
