Plot:
Amidst a sea of young news reporters competing for the next scoop, Choi In Ha (Park Shin Hye) finds herself in a tricky position, as she cannot tell a lie without a dead giveaway: breaking into a violent hiccup. Meanwhile, first-year reporter Choi Dal Po (Lee Jong Suk) proves his remarkable memory and communication skills by downplaying his good looks with a dumpy veneer of bad hair and clothing. But in a world where hard facts rule, how far can you get by lying?

I cant' talk about LJS because my stan goggles have been permanently fixed to my face. Oh, and Jin Kyung is so good as the news reporter because I hate her guts sfm!

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I do! Actually I thought this is gonna be one of those dramas were I check out 1-4 eps and then drop it but nope... I'm (emotionally) hooked and I'll continue watching!

The child actors were great and it's always nice to see Nam Da Reum (little Dal Po) :)

The chemistry between LJS and PSH is definitely there which is a huge relief and I can't wait for the other secondary characters to come into play!

Also with this supporting cast it would have been hard for me to turn away^^ YAY for more Lee Pil Mo and damn Jin Kyung (In Ha's mom or how I like to call her heartless reporter b**** :P) is nailing it! I LOVE to hate her already :D

I'm dying to watch the drama, but I don't like waiting for a week before the next episode. I guess I will just wait for it to end and watch everything at once.

PSH looks gorgeous, that girl is just so pretty. LJS is a cutie awww.

That gif set is adorable.

Ok I watched this yest and I am in LOVE. It gave off I Hear Your Voice vibes, which obv since the writers are the same. But omg
1) I love that PSH's character is basically what could have been in the Heirs before LMH came prancing along. I always felt that her Heirs character had such potential in the first few episodes but then that went to shit so quick
2) LJS's hair omg so awful I can't even. But goddamn I still love him even after Doctor Stranger
3) Kid actors- AMAZING. The first episode pulled at my heartstrings so much bc of that boy. What else has he been in, he looked so familiar
4) Chief from Emergency Couple!!!!!!!!! Yes all for it

I'm very excited about this drama

4) Chief from Emergency Couple!!!!!!!!!
This is the principal reason why I think I'm going to end up watching this drama.

[michi z. (from livejournal.com)]

The boy is Nam Da Reum and he's been in a dozen dramas as the young versions of mostly the leads :D
Just to name a few: Big Man, Three Days, Suspicious Housekeeper (no younger version but one of the kids in the family), Horse Doctor, and others which I haven't seen though^^ I love him to bits and am always glad when he's in a drama! Can't wait for him to get more permanent roles like in Suspicious Housekeeper!

Also they way he glared at the reporters when they were ambushing him and his brother was just... WOW!

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Oooooh no wonder! It was Suspicious Housekeeper that I've seen him in. Thanks~

omg so as i was going to sleep last night, i suddenly thought of emergency couple for no reason and then i was like 'OMG THATS WHERE THE REPORTER GUY IS FROM' . LOL it has been bothering me the whole two episodes bc i knew i had seen him somewhere else.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT!

and where is that gif conversation from? any videos?

both of their characters are funny/sarcastic/sassy and it is so funny

[springsky.livejournal.com]

I did a lazy search and I could only find an all kpop article that says she said "You can just say that your best male friend is Kim Woo Bin, and your best female friend is Park Shin Hye." Which is way more boring lol

There are a lot of gifs of them on tumblr. I changed it to a cuter set.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

he got his nose done again?? O__o
still the premise sounds fun so i'll check it out!

[jcdhwg.livejournal.com]

I think so, it looks better now though imo. His nose was bothering me so much when I was watching "SCHOOL2013" >.<.

Gonna check out the first two episodes of this drama tonight.

[peacefulscream.livejournal.com]

I'm genuinely enjoying this show.

Lee Jong Suk is so good that he can have great chemistry with anything and anyone. I hope that the inevitable kissing scene won't be the usual PSH-awkward type.

I know that the child actor did an amazing job but I miss this kid (http://asianwiki.com/Goo_Seung-Hyun) as young LJS.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i'm not surprised by how much i am enjoying the writing, seeing that i've became a fan of the writer since dream high, but i am surprised by how much i enjoy psh and ljs together.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I am quite enjoying these two...and they have chemistry!! Which was clearly lacking with the Heirs OTP

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

screaming at this drama it's so good! i mean i knew it was gonna be good but ahhhhh!!
also i kinda like his hair... but i'm probably the only one in that camp :D :D :D

it's kinda weird because it is a bit too reminiscent of ihyv since ljs and the writer and the director are the same but it's a small complaint especially when i had to go through doctor stranger

i actually think psh's acting is a bit worse here than in the heirs (since the problem with cha eunsang was that she was always crying every single moment but she did a good job of it) and i'm a bit annoyed by her voice but she looks so pretty so i can't complain.

the child actor was amaaaaaaazing i believe he's already played younger ljs before in no breathing (which i didn't watch because no amount of stanning will help me get through that) but oh man his speech in front of the reporters. ahhhhh.

so yeah, a lot of high-pitched squealing and much crying.
i'm ripping and cutting the audio of the show to listen to ljs dialogues. mmmmph.

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Also the actor in the courtroom of PSH's fantasy lol he was the bad guy from IHYV. I was like oh hey him too!

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

I liked the first two episodes. PSH overacts as usual but I really want good things for her lol And she LJS have good chemistry

[agentgoodnight.livejournal.com]

I've never really understood the obsession with PSH? She's definitely charming and gorgeous, but she chews scenery like she's being paid for it (although I guess she is lol). She hasn't gotten better in all her years of acting...just more comfortable in front of a camera.

I do like the direction of her character though, the fact that she's sassy and honest and blunt, bulldozing her opinions and not caring if that means she'll hiccup afterwards.

LSJ has improved so much in the last two years. I'm so looking forward to how he plays this out.

[dokyungsoo.livejournal.com]

i can't wait to get my shit together and watch this

i love that my bb doesn't ever hold back his compliments, he just says it as it is <3

[opd-devil.livejournal.com]

Didn't expect to get hooked into this already! But I can't wait for next week!

[spaceinvaduhh.livejournal.com]

I just finished watching the episodes, omg, I love it so far! it's pretty much the same when I started watching IHYV and got hooked after the 2nd episode lol. anyways I was laughing so much when Inha imagined she was defending Min Joonguk, and I spot the 2006 references with flip phones and also TVXQ lmao. the only thing I hate is LJS wig, can they lay it off by the end of the 3rd episode? it's distracting.

[darlinglili.livejournal.com]

My friend is watching this and I'm debating on whether to watch it.

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed it mostly but PSH acting has not improved. The poor girl was a horror show in the Heirs (which was trash itself) but I hope she doesn't struggle through this one and LJS someone manages to salvage their scenes together. I'm exicited for Kim Young Kwang even tho he's an ass, he's a solid actor and gorg. I use to stan for him so hard b4 I found out he was a douche, ah what could have been.
