    weeh…these guys..really makes me crazy..watching this drama is fun..its kind of different from other korean tv series i had watched..hope to watch more wacky scences….its a pretty stress reliever for me watching this drama…

    And i never seen sob drama of tvb you talk. I started the drama in 2007 with the japanese and now the korean.

    And for snow queen the poetry is visble with the music, the cinematography and the theme of the snow queen of andersen.

    SPOILERS!!!!!!!!The terminal illness in snow queen is not a surprise; in the beggining of the drama the poeple know than the heroine is sick. The asian drama is great because they talk of the things of the life, the love, the work, the friend, the family, and the death or the illness is also a thing of the life. Then i don’t understand why said the drama is bad because the heroine die of terminal illness. The scene where hyun bin go in laponia after the death of the heroine for stay close of her and of her dream is beautiful and moving. For me a movie or a drama who succeed to make me cry is a great story.
    Ask to shakespeare with romeo and juliet for exemple.

    KDaddict Says:

    Ep 7:
    Maybe a lot has happened in this ep. But what really touches me is the cliffhanger, when Yoon finally does sth that shows his feelings for Me Ah Ri. It has taken him long enough! It’d satisfying to see that dam break!
    Yoon is very good looking and look the youngest among the 4 guys.
    And what the heck r those 2 strange women doing at the party? YS and Se Ra, 2 women that they guys know well aren’t there, but these 2 strange birds show up. Whatever for?
    Also like it that Dojin has an ailment. That makes him seem more human, more sympathetic.
    In this ep, Se Na shows herself to be petty, selfish and toxic. Yet TS loves her. Some men r blind that way.

    I love the way the writer starts the episodes with teasers that is soooo hilariously funny that makes you want to LOL rolling on the floor……..

    Lady Sue Ellen Says:

    I like this drama coz really reveal facts of life of 40s after mid-life crisis hahahah…Really funny between the touching parts…All cast really great also the storyline….gonna keep watching till end;-0

    kdfan Says:

    Was it Jungrok who invited those 2 girls? He is shallower than shallow hal. Sera is bad..that was the confrontation she should hv done with Yisoo immediately after she knew about Yisoo’s feelings for Taesan. I totally felt for Yisoo. It wasnt so heartbreaking if Dojin was the one who told Taesan. But when BFF does that, ouch.

    KDaddict Says:

    KDs are full of either chaebol princes or ppl struggling to make ends meet. It is rare to see professionals as protagonists. Here we get 4, or rather 3, unless you count JR as a professional gigolo, all at once. It is both refreshing and interesting.
    I wonder abt Park Min Sook: what did she see in JR that she married him, and always takes him back after each of his transgressions? Either she has a hole in her head or she really loves him so much she can’t live without him!
    As YS said to DJ, he is dashing, confident and all, but he isn’t her type. It’ll be fun to see him BECOME her type in the following weeks.

  14. 339
    swift Says:

    Well, as there is belief that a man’s life begins at 40. LOL, I guess the writer got the idea for this drama to focus on men who may have gone through marriage life or serious relationship and yet not wanting to be tied down to one woman (exception to Choi Yoon).
    DJ will turn into a very troubled man who suddenly had to endure with having true feelings for a woman, LOL
    JR is a real joker, he does not give sincere feelings to PMS, but when PMS was close to the fitness trainer, JR becomes jealous
    Both CY and TS are the pathetic characters, TS falling for a selfish and conceited woman, whereas CY is in a dilemma of his feelings for MAR

    …i’m already hooked in this kdrama.. it’s soooo hilarious!
    i’m very hesitant to watch this kdrama at first bcoz i thought it will be boring and i’m not familiar with the other casts. but as i watch it more and more, i’m now curious about what will happen next to Kim Do Jin and Seo Yi Soo.. also to Yoon and Me Ah Ri.. hahaha, i like it.. keep it up!

  16. 341
    mitch Says:

    ..and check out the ratings! wow, i’m sooo impressed!
    luckily, KHN took the role of SYS bcoz its just fits her.. soo funny but cute..
    same with Yoon when he danced the steps of SNSD.. hahaha..
    watch this guys!

  17. 342
    SEGACRAZE Says:

    i love how ep 5 starts…it was really funny!
    can’t forget the SNSD part…lol!!!

    mitch Says:

    ..wow! all new kdramas are worth watching! now i don’t have my #1 in my list coz i can’t decide which is my favorite among them! all are entertaining and hilarious especially A Gentlemans’ Dignity.. if you are in your early thirties or mid forties, you will enjoy this kdrama. you will feel that there’s still life after forties or life goes on for those whose in love,hahaha.. love it.. and for those who just want to sit back and enjoy, watch BIG and I DO I DO.. i like the story of BIG coz it will give you a satisfying feeling of a love for granted but then corrected by another person whose not at first with a geniune character bcoz he’s still young. i love what’s happening now to the so called “couple”. hehe.. I DO I DO is also funny. you’ll find it simple but it makes sense! a career woman who is willing to give up everything but suddenly something happened to her.. haha, like it! Ghost is like you’re riding a roller coaster. you’ll go up and down, turn around then slide! whoa!! everything is mysterious and it’s like you’re solving a puzzle.. goose bombs everywhere!! Time slip Dr Jin is also intriguing. all medicinal and science but they are showing all kinds of scenes which will catch your attention.. and now, you will wonder who is doctor Jins’ fiance on the Joseon era..

    @KDaddict

    have you already watched Loving You A Thousand Times?
    it is currently airing here and loving it so far…love the chemistry of both lead…

    KDaddict Says:

    @SEGACRAZE,
    No, I haven’t watched Loving You A Thousand Times. I saw the actress in Dear Heaven–loved her as the sister; n in Mom has grown horns–also liked her as the D-in-law. The actor most recently appeared in Salaryman.
    I’m watching 5 KDs rt now. Having a ball!

    Ep7
    So interesting. Lots of things happen in this episode, specially what i was waiting for: Yoon does something about his feelings. I love his personality. Normally calm and lonely but louder and worse than 3 guys in some situations. That’s what makes him so attractive. I admire MAR. She is so brave and what a irony that she is the one teaching her teacher. DJ has a strange problem. I felt closer to him in this ep. I love his honesty and the scene YS is lying on him. It’s just a simple accident but he can make it very sexy. The only character i don’t like is SR. I don’t know if it is because of her bad impression in CH, but i can’t stand her behavior. So selfish.

    It seems like yi soo will start accept do jin one side love
    huaah, I can’t wait for next episode.

    Saturday Sunday, please comming fast

    KDaddict Says:

    Ep 8:
    I’m not so keen on Ep 8 becos after Yoon grabbing TS’s wrist in the cliffhanger, nothing comes of it! TS is against Yoon being his sis’ bf, Yoon is trying hard to reject Me Ah Ri, and it’s a crazy-making situation! So d resolution of the cliffhanger becomes v dissatisfying.
    TS n Se Na seem to be in a fight, tho it isn’t clear why. TS likes her so much but isn’t talking to her, if that makes any sense!
    The least interesting ep out of 8 of them so far.

    But it’s good we see a bit more of Min Sook. Her husband is for show(-off) to her friends, whose husbands r rich but ugly. Heehee.

  24. 349
    swift Says:

    It is always the tendency of the kor dramas that exagerates on the cliffhanger and we the viewers will be tortured in figuring out the outcome of the cliffhanger, but alas in many instances get dissapointed with the next episode of either nothing happened or something bad/ sad happens. I always get caught in these situations, but never seem to learn from past experiences, LOL
