hmmm maybe is it because the adultery issue or I have a problem with KHA (I feel that she doesn't match with YAI)

I loved it, too! There were times I had to pause mid-episode because it was so intense. And it cemented my adoration for YAI.

Thanks for sharing these links. I loved SLA and probably watched each episode twice when it first cane out. Even now I enjoy reading in depth reviews and other people's thoughts and theories about the show. My favorite dramas are the ones were you can go back and rewatch multiple times and still find something new because they are so layered.

SLA is my gold standard for obsessing over a K-drama: Three years + of piano lessons, a music theory class, starting a blog and now Korean language lessons. That show that changed my life!

Yeah. I have read in many blogs that review that drama, and almost all of them say it's a masterpiece. That urge me to watch the drama, but I can't enjoy it :(. I tried watching it for several episodes but sadly dropped it. I like the direction, acting (YAI was hot), but I don't know what things that make me stop watching it.

Crap. Now I have to watch Secret Love Affair all over again. I know its been a while, but thanks for these!

I don't know why it didn't click for @caesalpinia, but for me the reason I couldn't get into it because I felt like it took itself to seriously as a masterpiece work. It was beautiful to work at but emotionally it didn't really appeal to me.

sorry, but I can't point out what things that don't click me. I spent some time wondering why, but come out with nothing. Is it the adultery issue? But I can finish On The Way To The Airport. Is it because KHA? I don't watch any of her drama, and I feel she doesn't match with YAI. So... Is it because of noona romance? IDK.

Hi five! I tried watching Secret Forest too but I kept waiting for the magic moment all the beanies fell in love with but it never came. I feel the same way about Voice too. I watched 8 episodes of Voice because I really love crime solving shows but it just wasn't catchy so I stopped. I love Age of Youth though, the characters were extremely relatable. So much so that I could pick each girl out in my group of friends.

he he.. for me that drama is cloud moonlight thing with bo gum

I'm glad that I'm not the only one (^^;)
Maybe it's true that that drama not everyone's cup of tea.

As for SF and AoY, I do enjoy both of drama.
SF didn't appeal me at first episode, but it got better in the next episode. I haven't watched JSW and BDN's previous work, but they are really great (and their sparkling chemistry!).
AoY is relatable for people who do sharing house with their friends. And I love how it brings the slice-of-life topic.
But once again, everyone has individual likings.

"I can't say it was a bad drama though, but I guess I wasn't the intended audience for the show."

Agree with you. While I loved Secret Love Affair and even Heard It Through The Grapevine, it is at the the end of the day depends on our personal preference. I remember reading a comment saying that some viewers get a poor taste just because that particular drama gets a low rating. I appreciate people's opinions and recommendations, but it is still me myself who will decide what I want and can watch. I didn't watched few drama of beanies' favourite, but I don't feel I missed anything.

me too. I remember falling asleep watching a few episodes when I tried so hard to enjoy the show :(
So, maybe the drama wasn't for me too.
Yes, It's not a bad drama, the directing was beautiful. But I guess in the end it does depend on personal preferences.
