shin sung rok is such a good actor. maybe he's just really good at being creepy, but everything about him in this role is perfect

the episodes are getting more intense now and i appreciate it a lot

also A+ icon op, bomi's so cute

I tried to watch the first episode of this show since it had good reviews and it's from tvn. But I couldn't past the acting of the lead girl "sigh". Who thought it was a good idea to cast her?

nam da jung can be a pretty infuriating character sometimes but she gets better. kim so eun is a decent actress but i feel like it takes a serious veteran to make passive characters like da jung more appealing.

episode 10 was SO WILD! this drama just keeps surprising me! there r more than 10 episodes right? i dont kno why some sites r only reporting a 10 episode order...

i think 12 is the deal as Valid Love starts on 1st dec in the same slot

Yaaas Nam Da Jung is finally showing some character development and I have a love/hate relationship with Jamie nonetheless she's a badass. Team West's fellowship is so cute and like Jo Dal Goo pointed out it's kind of an interesting coincidence that Team West is the liberal team and Team East was led by Do Young.

I loved how the rest of Team East bonded together but wtf why are you killing bae Sung Joon? I bet that Do Young will kidnap/kill/blackmail the remaining two and there won't be any reinstatement round.

Ha Woo Jin is like a grumpy bear.

Shin Sung Rok continues to creep me out and astonish me.

A bit late for the party, but this is one of the best dramas I've ever seen. Love the fact they skipped love triangle or any other love-bullshit. Last time I was so excited when I was watching The Devil and that was ages ago. So many plot twists <3

Shin Sung Rok is the new perfect bad guy for korean dramas. I'm well impressed with his talent to creep people out. Unfortunately i don't thik he's very 'flexible': i watched a couple eps of Trot Lovers and he just didn't fit in the role of a good(good-ish) guy.

Also, I love Jamie.

is this any good compared to the jdrama? i've had enough with shitty korean remakes

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

I think it's just as good so far and more to my taste because koreans acting is more sublte

I'm quite enjoying this! I liked that they've put their own twists to the story so it's not predictable and boring for fans who are familiar with the story.

(Urgh, I thought I'll give Tomorrow Cantabile a chance since they did a pretty good remake of Fated to Love you but I'm just so disappointed.)

fated to love you and witch's romance are one of the best remakes ever made tbh
group eight remakes (playful kiss, bof, nodame) are shitty most of the time

same. i've been considering starting this since i've seen the games already with the jdrama and manga, but the recaps seems fairly interesting.

this show is so intense
