it looks like international viewers for this drama is increasing which is great eventhough it can not be compared to other sageuks drama airing in the same day, and the ratings reached 5% yayy. only 4 episodes left so I hope the writers develop every characters, especially imo, Gongmyung & Kibum.

Is he still being praised up to this point? 'Cause I still remember something from Netizenbuzz that he and Nana are being praised as idol actors.

As for his singing, I am just glad that he is being asked to do so in lower register recently, unlike before (hear: Hello).

He still is. Even top comments in shinee articles were like "I watched drinking solo, Key is so funny". Also in comments in this chicken post http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/18953040.html you can read yourself^^

It gets better if you want more things like relatable day to day struggle of being student/teacher; however romantic development is very slooowww, but really cute nonetheless.
Basically it has very similar tone with let's eat 1 without the murder mystery and significantly less food porn.

I agree that first episode was whatever because they only introduce characters but it picked up at least in ep3&4..
It's a slice of life drama so it will not thrill you so fast...
But, this drama is lovable in every way because it makes you root for everyone and could relate with your own life.

I can't not love ki bum's character because he's basically me a.k.a a chronic procrastinator. That episode about him and his resolution to finally! start! studying! Just to end up cleaning the whole pantry XD

I love -almost- all the characters from this show. With Jung Suk (Ha Suk Jin) I am at arm's length because he' has been such a huge asshole to Hana that I can't get around the idea that she still likes him even when he doesn't even says her name properly and he has been treating her like the lowest trash all the time....

I prefer Gong Myung. But, I still enjoy the drama tho.

the main leads are so boring and cliche and just terribly developed. the kiss scene had me laughing and rolling my eyes so hard. it was so bad! if they were just written out of the show, i wouldn't even notice.

i'm really enjoying the student storyline, though. they're all really cute and funny together. i just pop up and pay attention whenever one of them is on the screen. i'm really enjoying key's performance too. he's a pretty good actor and really does a good job with his character. also, i had to look up jung chaeyeon because i'm watching the drama and i'm like that girl is SO PRETTY. now i know who she is. i can now name one member of dia and ioi!

I hate the main leads. I ESPECIALLY hate Jungsuk, and I say that in every post. He's an overall terrible person. And Hana gets on my nerves. Why bother with someone who sets out to hurt you and treats you like trash?

I'd rather just watch The Three Dumbsketeers with Chaeyeon and Gong Myung with Hana.
