It’s about time I binged this classic, don’t you think?
I was chatting to Samsooki on Twitter the other day and realised I’ve never seen My Name is Kim Sam Soon and it’s a classic.
Going in…
Look forward to your comments. I am not a super-fan of either of the leads (watched only 1 of KSA and 2 of HB, to be fair), but there’s a lot of cross-referencing to MNIKSS in City Hall which got me curious.
I’m a huge fan of KSA but could take or leave Hyun Bin (plus I have that twitch that developed during MoA when people used THOSE WORDS). I was in the mood for a classic kdrama but hopefully not one with the elements that annoy me. So far (episode 2) it’s good and I enjoy it.
Samsooki’s recaps of City Hall are awesome, btw. They’ve considerably enhanced my viewing experience of the show. Please let him know when you chat with him next!
Sorry that is to say Samsooki’s recaps of Kim Sam Soon are great and have considerably enhanced my viewing experience. I think I binged City Hall at one point without reading the recaps. Maybe I should dive into them as well.
I am a super fan of HB, KSA and the show ❤️❤️❤️ I know you will watch it with a sort of historical perspective, knowing that it’s fifteen years old. It broke a lot of the rules of kdrama at that time, introducing one of the first non-candy heroines and one who Had a career (and didn’t look like a fashion model).
I didn’t think anything could raise my opinion of the show and the Samsooki came along with his recaps. Heaven. 🌈
Gosh, I hope you will like it!
I’m still not convinced she doesn’t slip cyanide into his almond pastry at one point but at least he’s less likely to be murdered than Secretary Kim’s husband…

One of the first k dramas I watched. I liked it, but I dont see her getting past the hero.

They are. I’ve only read the first two so far and they add so much to my understanding of what’s on screen.

It was my 1st kdrama and I loved it but I don’t know if it stands the test of time… Good luck!

Actually, except for the ML being written as such a *insert expletives* I rather enjoyed it.

Agree with that. I found the ending of WWWSK to be appalling.
