Very interesting thoughts on Strong woman. I dropped it after ep 11 I think, but that was because I kind of got bored ? never had an issue with the comedy. I was wondering why there was a lot of criticism about it and was starting to think maybe it actually is not good. But the comments on this podcast clears out a lot of things! Very interesting to hear that it was promoted as a lowbrow comedy, makes sense!

Loved the comments on Liar! Anytime I hear good things about Liar it makes me feel so good. I just loved that drama to bits ?

Thanks a lot for this JB and GF! Enjoyed it so much. I think you guys should do more drunk podcasts. so much fun ?

- Strong Woman Do Bong Soon: I have been catching up on this, and have not warmed up to the mother yet, so it's good to know that I will. I liked her with her own mother, but after the grandmother left, I was back to disliking her. She reminds me too much of the way my niece is raising her children, so it scratches perhaps too close to home. I am aware that her flaws as a mother are meant to be there, and even exaggerated, to parody how real mothers can be wrong in their zeal to obtain what they think best for their children. It's Mrs. Bennet all over again. Of course. So it is not the drama's fault, it's mine for being unable to feel the joke and parody. I know I'm meant to go along and mock her with the drama, but all I can do is be worried for her family's mental wounds, and for her too. Too close to home, as I said.

- I have really liked Defendant, and having finished that and started Whisper... I now feel a sense of obligation to finish Whisper too. It's not so much a question of time invested that girlfriday feels. It's similar but much sillier than that. It's a nonsense need for completion or collection, whichever you will. Liking both Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young, and associating Whisper and Defendant as a pair, just like you do, I will always feel bothered for missing in my imaginary "collection" one half of the pair. One half I like more than the other and can't throw away, so I have to have both.

- I was looking forward to listen to you talk about Radiant Office, but I didn't see you mention the drama at the end with Rebel and Tunnel. Is it possible it's not going to be talked about? It's a very nice little drama, imperfect, certainly, but nice.

- Plenty have been said about The Liar and His Lover in the comments above. But let me add my own thoughts. There is so much about it I want to talk about, but I've always missed my timing with the recaps and didn't leave many thoughts there as a consequence. By the time I arrived to the recaps, I've felt like all that could be said most probably has been said.

There is less than 100 comments here, so it's my opportunity to write about it. I think I've once said that I would not box this drama as the typical "youth drama." Hearing girlfriday's thought on that, I admit that it is indeed, a youth drama. I just felt that it was different from any other youth dramas I have watched, so I separated it in my head from those, but with reflection, maybe there are all and the same youth dramas.

If I have to analyze why I felt it was different, it is probably because of the frequent comparisons I have seen been made between this drama and Dream High and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo.

Weightlifting Fairy, for example, is a drama I would primarily describe as a coming-of-age story of the heroine. The Liar would be perhaps broader. It is indeed a coming-of-age story of the heroine, in part. But also a coming-of-age story of nearly every character in the drama...

I want to go on the record as saying that I think in Strong Woman, they realized they had crossed a line with the mom's assault on the dad and I believe it was a ret-con at the end. It was very stiff and forced delivery and ... at the same time a lot of domestic abusers DO blame 'accidents' for the injuries. So I think they either tried to back out of what they had put out, OR they were actually doubling-down and having her be a typical abuser covering it up with the explanation of an accident. Because for a LOT of that show, the Dad DID act scared of her.

It's hilarious how endless essays in the recaps after recaps, and thousands of comments is still not enough for Liar Beanies, and they're still writing essays in this thread, weeks after the drama ended XD It's not enough to see others show their love for the show, you have to show it yourself. XD

It's truly hard to shut up about the show once you start. Speaking about what you love and your passion to a friendly ear is strong temptation for most to resist. XD
We all sound like those mothers bragging about their babies and those pet owners talking about the puppies. It's not to far-fetched a comparison, given that the characters are all PUPPPPIESSSSSSSSSSSS!!

I'll try to limit what I have to say with bullet points. Let's see if I can do it. I loved Liar because:

+ It was a sincere, heartfelt show, without being maudlin. Paraphrasing from Liar Beanies, I didn't feel emotionally manipulated by the show. It kept things relatively dry. No tears from Jin-hyuk, Chan-young and even So-rim once she stopped experiencing all the "first" shocks.

+ To continue the point above, the show didn't throw away characterization for the sake of drama. No sacrificing of side-stories and last-minute quick half-as*ed resolutions for them. No throwing away of other aspects of the shows for luuuuuv drama. When friendship needed to come first, it came first. No tears when the character cum situation didn't call for it. No dragged on misunderstandings. Characters talked to each other, and confronted each other. Characters explained themselves so you didn't have to invent a rationale for their actions and behaviors or inner thoughts.

+ The problems were presented in a matter-of-a-fact way that made them feel credible and logical. You hated that they had to deal with them, but you couldn't deny that it was something they needed to address, one way or another. You even understood all the villains and why they had to put those obstacles in our puppies' paths. You even felt for those villains, because they had their own demons and obstacles to battle. Plus, they were right more often than not, so you couldn't disagree with them even when you wished you could.

+ No drama and matter-of-fact realism, and young pure characters full of dreams, positivity and perseverance made the drama feel light, even when we were the most concerned for the puppies. The concern was real and deep, but never overwhelmingly worrying it became stressful.

+ A heroine who was kind and nice, but with quiet strength who stuck to her guns and didn't get swayed by her principles, not even by love and her boyfriend. She also had personality and charm, and was not boring.

+ The characters started as frustrated people, but it didn't feel frustrating for us to watch them, because they were also full of passion and drive and positivitity. In their struggle, they enjoyed being with each other, so it was easy for us to enjoy watching them together. They were a family,...

SWDBS: Main couple is love, the humor was ok
TWY: Shin Min Ah carried it. I want her in a more light-hearted role next time
IB: the writing was definitely the main culprit, even the kisses couldn't make it up
TLAHL: a drama which made me squee and gave me more feels than IB even without the kisses. Crude Play needs to be a real band, that is all.

Yay, podcast! I have been here from the podcast #1 :--) And although my memory is generally very very bad, I still remember the drunken podcast with Lee Min Ho (#7) and how funny it was (especially hearing Javabeans slurring ;--)))) ).

As for the showes discussed now... I actually preferred "Introverted Boss" before the rewrite (and dropped it after). Yes, the herione was a bulldozer and there was unexpected darkness (suicide+the manager), but at least I had some emotions and investment when watching. And I was curious about what happened in the past and liked how they revealed it step by step.... the rewrite told the complete story in one episode and then was bland... (at least for me).

I also dropped Liar (sorry Liar Lovers).... I liked the first episode, but then it was somehow too cheesy for me (age thing?)...

Thanks for the extra info about "Do Bong-soon".... I surprisingly really enjoyed the humour there :--) (though some toilet one was a bit too much for me). I also enjoyed Kim Won-Hae as the team leader Oh Dol-Byung.

And last, but not least.... I'm sooooo enjoying Lee Yu-Ri in "Father is Strange"!!! She is fantastic and whenever she is on the screen I squeal :--)))

Would you guys be able to or consider uploading the podcast to itunes? It would be much easier for me to listen to in my car with a setup like that.

I'm ambivalent about Tomorrow with you. There are aspects in it I loved and wished to have seen more, such as the wistful tone and relationship not often seen in dramas, and there are other aspects mediocre in their execution. Overall, it's a show that didn't live up to its potential, but did some things right, I'm left with several good memories.

I agree about Ji Sung's tendency to put 100% and more into everything, which made him great in Defendant, but the director should have asked him to tone it down and reserve it for me key moments.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon gave me a good time every week. It wasn't the most quality drama out there, but the chemistry between the two Park was a rare treat that elevated the drama to something more than it was. The humor was outrageous and I enjoyed it. Overall, a show that wasn't intelligent or trying to be, and I appreciated it for what it was. The lack of intelligence (I'm not talking about the level of jokes, just story-telling/writing skills) prevents it from being one of these outstanding dramas and become a beloved favorite, but I have a special place in my heart for its main couple. In one phrase, a non-outstanding special show.

Liar and His Lover is one of those rare shows which have transcended their limited potential, and I give most of the credit to the solid writing. It's one of those shows you come to appreciate the more you think about it because of the intelligent writing, as opposed to plots that fall apart when you look at them too closely.

Every character's traits and arcs were carefully mapped from the beginning. Every relationship and their intertwined threads was layered and gave the drama substance. Supported by a well thought-out plan, the story was told with understated assurance, intelligence and sensibility from beginning to end. It demanded patience from its viewers, but rewarded them for their investment with fulfilling character arcs, and mended relationships which became stronger with trial.

The romance wasn't the main focus, but was a little special because of its pure innocence, and made up for the lack of hot passion with subtle but profound affection. The delight they felt in each others' presence, the tender fondness, understanding support, and playful rapport, was a delight to watch.

It was a drama that would satisfy you at a cerebral level if you bothered to dissect it, not complex in plot per se, but rich in characterization. However, it was also a feels-good drama. The writing was intelligent, but not dryly intellectual and didn't lack for emotions. It had a lovely slightly idealistic message to tell, but not preachy or heavy-handed.

It felt very real and slice-of-life, especially those little moments between father and son, those little disagreements between Inwoo and CEO Yoo, those little moments between Sorim and her grandmother, those little couple moments between Sorim and Hangyul, or friendship moments between Mush & Co,...

i find the critics of Lee Jee Hoon on chemistry front is out of place. Because while Shin min ah is good in a skinship front, she is quite comfortable doing skinship, she is not there emotionally. means Lee je Hoon carried the emotional weight of their relationship. It's baffled me how shin min ah has regressed as an actor. kim ye won outshine her completely despite limit screentime

lol @ everyone writing these long analysis about TLAHL and here I am dropping by my cheap comment...

My fav moments from TLAHL are:
- Sorim kicking Hangyul in the nuts
- Jinwoo and Gyusun getting drunk on milk
- Hangyul waving like an idiot to cover Chanyoung on the TV
- Hangyul jumping up and down the bed holding his phone
- Hangyul derp face

Yeah, I love Hangyul.

from the comments... omg, JB & GF like TLAHL!!! *does a little dance* *flails around* *runs to click play*

I get so excited when I see a podcast posted. I love listening to them in the car or half studying. Your comments about SWDBS made my day! I totally felt the sadness when people did not love the drama as much as I did. I recommended it to 2 other of my drama watching friends and both were not mesmerized like I was which was sad. Although one of these friends finished introverted boss...so to each their own. To further your imagination of the Park Puppy couple, I have replayed this fanmeet scene 10000x times watching PHS adjust a chair for PBY = LOVE.

I do wanna throw my 2 cents on the harsh criticism -- the show was airing when there were less romcom and romcom attract a lot of dramabeans viewers (it's the most commented genre here), hence more criticism. It's popularity exploded (took some folks by surprise). Felt some criticisms were spot on though, like the pacing and integration of the thriller and romance. Had this show went purely romance, guess it would be a bit more well-received.

I didn't expect to be able to hear JB & GF talk about tlahl so soon after it ended. this is awesome. thanks!

I'm late! I wanted to comment yesterday but I fell asleep listening to the podcast (not bc you were boring, I was just dead tired), so I listened to it again today and finished it! yay!!

Introverted B: I stayed until the end because of Yeon woo jin and sort of wished I didn't. I guess that means I know what I'll do if 7 days queen isn't that good this time. lol. I really like Han Chae ah and shipped her more with him too!! or that cute little awkward secretary with the glasses. Out of topic, but speaking of Han Cha ah, I think she would be great as an aristocrat in the early 1900's even tho that's similar to her role in Gaksital. I just want her to have a big break. I have her or Seo Hye jin in mind for the role, so ofc that means neither of them will get it ^_^"""

Tomorrow with You: The chemistry was actually ok, not any worse than other couples with Shin Min ah in it so I thought LJH did ok but I see what you mean. He's really a great actor tho, so it's true I had high hopes for this drama, and was disappointed, but I'm still glad I watched it. It was an interesting concept that didn't get enough developed. It's like they just came up with a great idea, and decided that the job was done right there and didn't work more on it. Like hwarang. :(

I just started My Sassy Girl so let's see if BoA taught Joo won anything about love. Heee.

Strong Woman DBS: I wasn't part of the comments so I didn't know how criticized it was. I searched for all the bts videos too. Watching Suspicious partner is reminding me of how I was with this drama, same obsession with the couple in BTS. They were so cute together. It's true though that besides from the cute couple, nothing else was much to write about... I mean, I laughed a lot at the poop wine (LOL I'm still laughing), but it got old sometimes. Never got sick of Kim Won hae tho, he was great!!! Loved him. Maybe even more than min min... Ok, maybe not, but almost. Hee.

Liar & Lover: Wow, this show. I some a comment in the recap comparing it to hot chocolate drinks and I agree. That's totally how I feel about it. It's not the strong kind of addiction that grips you day and night, but like you can't get sick of it, it makes you feel so warm and happy sipping the cup and I just love that feeling. And you kinda crave that feeling even if it's nothing fancy or special. HOT CHOCOLATE is my besetting sin. I try not to drink it too often because hello acne (T___T) but boy it's good.

Anw, I digress. So, like hot chocolate addiction, I love how with this show, everything creeps up to you lowkey and you don't see it coming. I replayed that scene were Joy was singing Your Days at the music station tons of times. I remember the cliffhanger that stopped when she was JUST about to sing, and I flipped. I didn't know I'd want to listen to the soundtrack so badly everytime I heard a new song in the drama. I was like RELEASE IT ALREADY!! Why tease us like this!! Hee.

And when I...

The difference there is like you said, ratings so it's easier to feel justified when you bash it.

Plus, most think this drama is like Boys over flowers or Cinderella 4 knights, with cheesy slow mo shots and effects and stuff. I saw a lot of people who dropped this drama after several episodes and said it was juvenile, which like javabeans and girlfriday said, isn't true. :D

And I would say antifans of Joy and red velvet too. There is rivalry going on between the new generation of girl groups, and red velvet is successful enough that other groups' fans feel threatened (I'm a fan of all of them so I feel horrible being in the middle ^___^").

Also, Joy has been getting a lot of attention and love since her stint on WGM, and people who don't know how think she's too ugly (their words) and untalented and don't get the hype about her, so they dislike her. Joy is super charming, but not everybody thinks so, and so they don't get the hype about her and yeah... So maybe that's why this drama has been unfairly panned when it's much better than dramas like Cinderella, Playful kiss and whatnot. ^___^;;;;;

You two have lovely voices <3

Speaking of voices, I wonder how Sorim's speech sounds to a native Korean speaker because to my inexpert ears, I just love her speaking voice, not just her singing voice. I love how her cadence changes slightly when she's with Hangyul, it's softer. Her voice sounds more sturdy when she's with Gyusun or Jinwoo, or when her laugh is unrestrained, ie. that time she just excitedly threw the ball on Chanyoung and Hangyul and was ecstatic about winning, or when she drew on K's poster and laughed psychotically. When she giggles too, I like how it changes, ie. when she first met Chanyoung on the rooftop and fangirled about meeting her idol.

This discussion about voices reminds me... I can't interpret Javabeans' inflection on "devoted" when you referred to Healer and Liar fans as "devoted fans." Good or bad?

Back to Liar, I fell for the little Sorim as soon as she stood up to the teacher, and when she asked Jinhyuk to reconsider and see the potential in her friends Jinwoo and Gyusun too, that just sealed her place in my heart. I also could relate to her joy when she met Hangyul again, and then just ran back to her friends and jumped around the outdoor plaza at night. It was so relatable and reminded me of when I was young and giddy about my crushes.
I also loved the little music numbers in the classroom and wished we had more of them. I wished I've seen more of her interaction with Inho too. I still can't believe she held his face in her hands and squished it before asking if he's a fairy. Ha.

As a 50+ years old woman, I find the accusations about The Liar being a juvenile fluff youth drama frankly puzzling.

I'm not in the habit of watching dramas with young people in them (I don't dislike them :) don't get me wrong), and I stay away from fluff. I tend to choose dramas with characters in their 30s or 40s. I watched this one because I love Lee Jung-jin in 9/2 with Su Ae. I also watched this for Choi Min Soo, and seeing Im Ye Jin and the mother in Jealousy Incarnate after starting this was a pleasant surprise.

I can't be accused of being blinded by the pretty boys, since they look like literal boys to me, just little boys.
As I've mentioned, my usual genre of dramas tend to lean more towards adult drama, and I watched this drama not only just fine, but loved it. It wasn't adult drama, but it was earnest, full of heart and warmth, and the little boys and girls and big boys and girls all displayed the kind of thoughtful maturity and values adults would be proud of. It is not fluff. I love the value of loyalty, and the optimistic vibe of the drama. It's one of the few youth dramas I've finished. In fact, it is like a mixture of those, which is perhaps why I love it just as well.

It had the youthful cheerful vibe of Bok joo the weightlifter, with the heart and emotional turmoil and insecurities of youth, and the sweet familial friendships and sensibility of the Answer Me series. Despite the glamorous profession of these people, I loved how their day-to-day life was presented in a relatable way. I believed in each of the characters as real people, and felt for their struggles and problems on an emotional level, even without having ever worked in the music industry. I wanted to belong in their little community. They were people I could have known, or would have l liked to get to know. All good people, who became even better people in the end and had my affection.

I loved all the little musical numbers spread throughout the drama. I knew I was in for the treat when So-rim sang trot along with all the neighborhood ladies with a carrot in her hand. My favorite scene was when Han-gyul played the Busan song on the piano, and Sorim held Grandma in her arms and closed their eyes and danced to the music.

The ending left a lingering good feeling. Too often, a drama ends with lackluster ending, but this one gave me an ending I could go back to and feel warm about. I've rewatched the 1-year-after part of episode 16 several times, because of how good it makes me feel to see those people lead happy humble lives. I don't necessarily think it was the most exciting or emotional part of the drama, but it's my favorite part to come back to and watch. It's like a warm soft blanket I can cocoon myself into.

I read @Biela's comment in the Beanies Comments page and had to log in just to like it. :) It's so much of what I want to say about the drama too.

It's not laugh-out-loud funny (well, sometimes it is), but I love all the humor in it. It reminds me a bit of Miss Korea and as often mentioned, the Replies series, a bit contemplative, but much more infused with youthful energy that just lifts you up. The music is just great of course. All title tracks I believed could top the imaginary Lemon chart.

It's also surprisingly poignant. I didn't expect to be emotionally engaged in that way. As the drama slowly revealed how unhappy all these underdogs were with their situations, of how much they've tried to put up with, and I could just FEEL how much stretched they all felt. I wanted to hug each and everyone of them. Luckily, there were there for each other. I love how Crude Play just stayed in the hospital for Inho, how Sorim hugged Hangyul when he needed it, how Chanyoung was there for Crude Play at their lowest moment, or Sorim was there for Chanyoung, as were Crude Play. I love Gyusun and Jinwoo bromance.
I also loved Inwoo and all his singing-conversations with his guitar. Bringing alcohol to the hospital was one of those humorous moments I loved from the drama.

The drama had the best smiles, and seeing the characters smile was infectious and you couldn't help but smile with them too. Not just Hangyul and Sorim, but when you saw Chanyoung or Inwoo smile, or when Sooyeon had that little smile when she was paired up with Shihyun for the game and hugged him (I laughed when Shihyun was so obviously happy when the ladder game matched him up with her). Teacher Bong dancing in the classroom was adorable too.

I came from the link posted in the recap and am so glad I bothered. This made me smile.

Haven't had time to listen to the podcast yet except for Liar part, but I wanted to comment first because I'll listen to the rest and then probably will go to sleep right away after that.. :D

I agree that LHW was perfect for the part. As his noona fan, I was worried at first + he looked young (but I knew from Moorim school he could do grown up). After they started to date, he took on the role of the oppa very credibly so I was proud of him like a momma.
GF or JB compared JYP to him, but I'll say Hangyul is more like the fictional version of the brother in Akmu. Young successful producer, exclusive to one band too.
I wished he could have been in more soundtracks, the little piano serenade to apologize to Sorim and make her feel better didn't feel enough. I wanted more. :((

On to the positive stuff, my favorite stuff about this drama is:
- The episodes got better one after the other, how rare is that?
- It balanced everything well - mood, heart, angst, friendships, etc.
- The drama had substance, wasn't just surface fluff and gimmick musical
- There was no parts of the drama that was really a "weak" link or a stain in the drama, all had their purpose in driving the story or characters, and served it well, and most were a highlight in and of themselves. All the characters made you invested in them.
- The conflicts were layered, so you bought into them, even when they weren't life and death
- It kept angst believable but light. I didn't need the stress in my life so it was a nice respite.
- JB is right when she said the romance wasn't what kept the tension.... BUT it was still something I enjoyed tons. It gave the drama some of its cutest moment (bus date <3). One of my favorite scenes in the drama was the last 10 min of ep 9, when Sorim ran to Inwoo's bar, then Hangyul stayed to produce for Yoona, then ran to Sorim school just on time, then Sorim ran to catch up to him... the ending confession and hug was the culmination of all that adrenaline rush. <3
- For endings, the cliffhangers weren't nail-biting always, but I always wanted to come back for more. I still wanted to know what would happen next in those characters' lives. The first time I felt the urgency in the drama was the ending of episode 4, when things started to click to Hangyul that Sorim was the new rookie in the company. I was on my toes waiting to see if he'll run up on time (I knew he wouldn't, but I HOPED), and the last shot of the handshake with Hangyul looking on was great. Another cliffhanger was the Survival Show singing number. Hangyul going up on stage with Crude Play was another great ending. Or Crude Play's scandal.
- I'm glad Crude Play got their moment to shine. And ooof. When Shihyun read the pre-written statement that they had nothing to feel ashamed about and could barely spit out the words.... I felt it right there, with all of them.
- It's...

lol I love the hot chocolate comparison though I'm a caffeine addict, so it'd be mocha drink in my case. Same difference though. It's not a new unpredictable taste, which can be fun when you first taste something. With this, it's the familiar comforting taste that still revitalizes you every time you drink it like it's the first time. Yummy.

After listening to the podcast, I'm putting Father is Strange in my must-watch list. A family drama that's like a drama... I'll take that.

I love how the segment about TLAHL during the podcast, was just basically a list of all the things they liked about it "well, I liked the music, and I like Jinhyuk, and the presentation of the industry, and I like CEO Yoo, and I like this, and I like that about the drama" Hahahahaha. :D I had a great time listening to it. Thank you. :)

As soon as I finished listening to the podcast file, I was going to write my own mini dissertation on TLAHL... That was until I saw all the wonderful but looong comments everyone has written. That's both awesome, and intimidating. I am nowhere near confident in my ability to write something that's as eloquent as all of you, and don't want to appear lacking.... so.... I'll cheat, and use Javabeans' words instead. :P (@javabeans, please don't sue me, I'll credit you for alllll the work XD)

Quote 1

I just started up this show, and was pleasantly surprised with its light, breezy charm. I love how much it’s about music; it’s not just a part of these characters’ lives as a job or a hobby, but infused throughout the whole show, like a character on its own. And I’m finally glad to see Lee Hyun-woo finally playing a character that actually makes use of his acting talents!

Quote 2

Okay, so this was the show I’ve been waiting for—the kind that makes me eager to watch episode after episode, rather than feeling I have to try to keep up, and sticks in my mind even when I’m doing other things. It’s not perfect: The dialogue can get unrealistically drippy for my tastes (I cringe when it gets cheesy and push through it), I find the editing occasionally choppy, and the supporting cast is inexperienced. But despite all that, the show speaks to me with its breezy feel-good spirit; the tone, the mood, and the heart are all very engaging. And for once, I can absolutely see why everyone is fascinated with the same girl, and why they find her special. Joy is delightful.

Ahahah, I just love how this podcast just became another communion of the Liar Beanies. :D <3

I've only had time to listen to the Joo won's section so far. I jumped straight into it because of all the comments and don't regret it one bit. The two of you had me in stitches. After watchign AJW in New Journey of the West, I love him but it's so true that he jumped straight into marriage after falling in love. pfffft. I can't for the life of me imagine Joo Won and Boa marriage getting announced in the news. It's like hearing that the baby version of So ji sub is getting married.

I dont know whether to laugh or to cry. It's been nearly 5 weeks and Beanies' affection for the drama still hasn't waned. They're still writing essays and eulogies. lol.

Great podcast! Thanks.

I came back to correct one of my post, and in passage, also want to thank you again (if I did already?) for this podcast.
I've cut myself an mp3 file of just the last segment. Have been listening to it on a loop constantly for the past 3 days because it's my happy pill to listen to your voices and insights on this drama. Never fails to make me smile. :)))))))

It's probably not, in fact, I know it's not... a perfect drama. Nevertheless, this drama has made me happier than many "perfect" dramas so in the end, that's what matters right? :)

Loads of beanies praised Lee seo won's acting already, he's popular among the ladies as well as that idol who played Shi Hyun. So I want to praise Lee Hyun Woo and Joy's acting. By the end of the drama, Joy didn't feel like a rookie at all. She did really good even compared to other young actresses. She has great potential, that girl. Lee Hyun Woo is just great. :))))) I don't know why people don't talk more about his acting... is it because they already expect him to be good? but he was the one who impressed me and carried all the scenes well. He was perfect for the role. Great dynamics with Choi Minsoo, and his scenes with everyone were great.
