hi
for some time now we have not been able to catch up with each on what drama we are interested in lately , hope u have been having fun so far, i have not been watching dramas as often as before because i went back to school, so i only get the chance on weekends to catch up , but so far i think i have watch the good once like k2h, rooftop prince, love rain , feast of gods which i realy did not like the fact that the couple at the start did not end up together, and this one ,the once i have not watch are equator man , fashion king which i read was stupid, so tell me did i miss out on any better once than what i have on my list and do u recommend any others once, i trust u choices , let me know ok, , is nice to be back here again , will try to keep up when ever i can , have a good day where ever y are,

@torri,
Nice to see u again. Which thread was it on that we talked extensively, do u remember? I’ve been wrecking my brain abt it.
A big congrats for going back to school. Always a good thing to get more study under one’s belt.
I agree w your choices. I watched a bit of Love Rain, but it has a pace so slow that I do not have patience for. FoTGs has serious flaws in the plot that I could not stomach,; I love Lee Sang Woo–so I hung on for as long as I could, 14 eps.
Like u I skipped EM n FK. EM is intense w good acting, but I don’t feel like another drama on betrayal n revenge. FK is, as u say, a mess.
This one QIH is a lovely lovely show. You’ll enjoy it.
I’m now watching GD-love it, I do, Big. I’m more selective now, n so have much less to complain abt on these threads.

@KDaddict i m with u. i would hv been a happy camper if this show ended at ep 14. i did watch k2h last ep, but i felt nothing for that ep or for show. it’s incredible how killing ESK also killed the show for me.

@Charlie
It must be. Coz they don’t want to live happily ever after just by themselves. Just kidding. It’s just that i want a super sweet ending as you said. As corny as ever.
@KDaddict-325
I just read your comments on K2H thread and was shocked. Then my passion was killed altogether. The rest didn’t have any meaning to me. I know he is too sexy to be a father but i want another drama with SEGA ending. If not what about traveling to a beautiful beach and watch the sunset together. This is the typical romantic ending that most of the girls- i’m not included- love and can satisfy BD’s love for traveling. So corny.

love it!

@sara-329:
What shocked you abt on comments on K2H? That I didn’t watch ep 20, even now? My reaction to EunSK’s death surprised me too. It’s not like I didn’t know he could die while confronting Mayer. It’s not like I didn’t totally worship LSG n HJW, so when SK died, why did I stop having feelings for the rest of that show? My guess would be that I feel it is too cruel to Jae Shin. Why take away her legs as well as her man? I can’t go along w writers who would give a good char that kind of “fate”.
As for the ending for QIH, I’d love it if they walk hand in hand around some (fake) Italian townscape. They should go see the world together for a few years, b4 even thinking abt having children, no?

@KDaddict
i think the last drama u and i talked extensively about was fermentation family i guess, well this QIM is a great drama too,i am realy loving it i think this two main lead have very good on screen chemistry , and am looking forward to the last two eps, for the new tread of dramas that just start over a week or two ego , i have not yet decided which to watch yet but it looks like the time slip dr jin drama will be fun , truth is since the moon that embraces sun ended most of this drama lately have not been able to realy fill that hole for me ,i mean k2h tryed but they ruine it at the end by killing one of the guys i liked so am still waiting for something with as much suspence and fun like METS

No, i was shocked when i read your comments and realized SK was dead. You had expressed your disappointment. It was exactly how i felt at that moment. As if it was me who had wrote that comment. I didn’t care about the rest after i realized SK was dead. To me killing him with the excuse of him being a soldier or making him a hero is ridiculous. I hate exaggerated patriotism in any kinds of show. I loved your comments. I didn’t want to leave any comment there and was happy you said exactly what i wanted to say. Thank you.
Ok. Without children. Let them enjoy the moment and travel around the world. I really wish it would have a great super happy ending. I’m going to watch the ep 15. This is the only drama that i watch raw.

Naty99,
Thank you so much for the link again. You are so fast.
I can’t wait to go home to watch it.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:08 am
What happen to p 16 that is not the ending right?
June 7th, 2012 at 10:23 am
If you haven’t watched ep 15, you should hold off until tomorrow, watch 15 & 16 together.
I just watched ep 15, feel very sad now. This ep is the saddest one ever except the first 5 minutes. The talisman is really showing its evil side.
I can’t wait for the final one to recover my mood. ;(

@Charlie-337, sara-334,
I was very proud of myself for not watching ep 15 live on tv yesterday evening. But to prevent myself fr doing so, I arranged to have dinner out, w a friend! This morning, I’ve been thinking abt watching ep 15, telling myself that there r only a few hours to wait until the final ep tonight. TQ Charlie for your warning. I’ll exercise utmost self-control, and wait till it is all over to watch both eps together.
June 7th, 2012 at 1:26 pm
I saw snippets of Birth of Billionaire, why was the characters all sooooo terrible ( I do not mean the actors & actresses, I do like JHW and the second lead guy, but the actresses not to my favour). I think the storyline is somewhat ‘off’, no wonder I did not know about this drama earlier.
June 7th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
@charlie
thanks for the update. I am now able to refrain myself from watching raw to avoid any further frustration and dissapointment.
June 7th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
@Charlie thanks for the tip. i probably should not check in to this thread until after watching the final subbed to avoid spoilers ..

@KDaddict-338
I want to marry this drama. It’s been a while that a drama has moved me like this. But yeah, watch them together. Now, i’m really sad and just think about how it’s going to end. Just one ep is left. Please let me sleep tonight sweet drama.
Ep15
Sweet moments are tooooo short. This is exactly what i was afraid of. The servant girl is murdered, BD suddenly disapears and now that there isn’t any pure heart which can pray for him the protective talisman burns. He is back for a moment but disapears before HJ’s surperised teary eyes. He travels to find the head monk but something has happend to him. I don’t know what but he might be dead. All the ways for coming back are blocked and this time they are going to be seprate foerever?
It’s so bitter. HJ cries, BD cries and you cry with them. Finally,He gives up his hope, writes a letter while his face is covered with tears and burns the talisman compeletly. I wanted an episode full of sweet moments.My scare from ep 14 hasn’t recovered yet but this one again was so sad. Again i couldn’t sleep. Now, i’m not sure of any happy ending even if this is a RC. I just hope they end up together and BD WILL BE ALIVE.

can’t predict what is next step of the story??? I guess must be good ending
if not keep on scolding the director & writer. make viewer became an angry bird

@sara 342,
You got your guts. I was reluctant to tell any detail of the sadness.
After I read our comment, which is great summery btw, I relived those sad moments again. The beginning of ep 15 was so cute, both of them, which was such great comparison to the sad part, made me shed more tears.
This is one of the great parts of this drama. The story can go from one point to another so unexpectedly. I hope the final ep will give another surprising turning point, which may be caused by the burning talisman. will lead to a happy ending.

Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na are born to play these two characters. HW is such a handsome gentleman whom many girls would want to marry to, IN is so cute and sweet, I can’t imagine anyone one else who would be able to do a better job than these two. They definitely are the cutest couple in this year’s, if not all time, KD’s.

Naty99,, thank you so much for the link.
OMG! The ending is soooooooo goooooooood.
Ladies, you can start your engines now.
This drama is so great. Each had maintained its excellency, all the way til the end.
I love this drama. I love JHW and YIN It truly touched my heart.

Spoiler:
The beginning of the drama where BD in red chased by guards and met HJ outside a gate in Seoul, never reappeared in the ending.
Talisman was gone after it was burned by BD. It didn’t play any role in their final and last reunion. It had to do with a modem tech product and HJ’s mind of wanting BD.
After tears and hearts broken, all is good now, lots of love and fondnesses. Their last kiss is very sexy, feel like they can head to their bed right there.

I just finished watching ep 16. I just want to say that it was the greatest, sexiest and most romatic ending ever. We all wanted a sweet ending and here it is. Although i cried so much when i was watching the last episode coz it has its sad moments too. But the ending makes up for all those tears and sad moments. Our beautiful couple of this fairy tale lived happily ever after… and i can sleep comfortably tonight although i feel sad coz it finished. I ‘ll miss it like crazy.
Final comments
This drama is really the best among all those time-traveling dramas and other dramas this year. A well-written story, great acting and stable plot pace make watching this drama a unforgetable and enjoyable experince. A great traveling from past to present and vise versa, along with lovely characters.
Now i see YI in a new light. Her HJ is a charming girl who falls in love and never gives up. You never can forget her crying scenes which are very emotional and heartwrenching . JHW shows his wonderful acting by portraying a perfect, innocent, smart, gentle, manly, in-love and caring character. Once you fall in love with BD, loving other jerks in K-dramas would be so hard. He is every woman’s ideal man.
The music, filming techinc and all the things are perfect. The OST is so beautiful. It makes the scenes much more touching and helps you feel the emotiones with your heart. The split filming acts like a third eye for the viewer. You can see the scenes from different angles and strangly it makes the scenes more emotional.
I really want to thank all the staff for their hard work to creat such a great drama. Now i ‘m officially in love with JHW and can’t wait for his next project. I love you my sweet drama. I will never forget you.

Spoiler included
Exactly. A really long passionate sexy rare kiss in K-dramas. I felt the same. JHW is a good kisser. Sometimes i feel he is really in love with YI. Do you think it is just BD kissing HJ or also BD+JHW kissing HJ+YI or JHW kissing YI? I really want to know coz it is great.
