    SYS just started to fall in love with KDJ so let’s see how it progress coz she need time to adjust after few misunderstanding between them of course she had crush on Tae Sun.Let’s see the development of this Pink Cherry Blossom couple and m really into this AGD drama coz it’s getting better episode by episode:)

    KDaddict Says:

    @sara-472,
    I was going to write the same thing on YS’s student. U beat me to it. What role will he play in the story?
    Is it that YS will be upset when Eun Hee hits town, things heat up betwn EH n DJ, n it’s his shoulders that YS will cry on?? Should it be MAR’s shoulders? If not that, then what?
    I feel that YS can handle DJ having a son, but not his feelings over his 1st love, if they r still lingering n confused.
    I think you r right in #473. Both r good actors, JDG sizzles, so why no sparks? Sometimes they r careful not to get sparks flying all around when 1 side is married, e.g. Did u see sparks in METS? I saw pain n frustration in KSH’s king. Or QoR? I saw strong yearning in PSH’s char. Each side did a good job. Sparks? Not really.
    BTW, I know u love the QIH couple: Seems that there’s much talk abt their dating, JHW’s confession, their walk in the park etc. Have u seen the brouhaha that erupted? I feel sorry for them. Damned if they do, or dont.

    KDaddict Says:

    Ep 12:
    I noticed two things, first off:
    1. YS fell asleep on his arm. Can u believe it?
    Can u fall asleep on his arm, if u just begin dating him? DJ said in disbelief: U fall asleep w me next to you. No kidding!
    2. JDG shaves n dances in a bathrobe.
    I’ve never seen anyone look so good in a bathrobe. Plenty of ppl wear one around the pool. Have u seen anybody looking good? This good?
    The rest of the ep just went over my head.

    @KDaddict — i can’t help but comment about Jang dong’s v funny scene (i mean this in a positive way) in a bathrobe dancing to that Latin piece, i’ve never seen him so funny, nvr crossed my mind he cld make ppl laugh like me! woah he’s awesome! and i agree he looks good in a bathrobe :) i really think this drama gets better each time!
    I really like the chm of JDG & KHN, all the four guys are funny, this drama is a must-see, two thumbs up way up!

    pinkee Says:

    This drama is the best of the best The one that is married needs to pay attention to his poor wife, divorce his sorry butt, always hangin onto her. The other three really needs to settle down. They are all over 40s. Pleez writer, producer, director. Have a blassst at the end of the drama, big!! big!!
    wedding of the drama. Great everything!! Really enjoyed the bloopers at the end. That really cracks me up.

    KDaddict Says:

    @sangjhoon-479,
    It is interesting how ppl who love the same drama can view it differently. You react to the funny aspect of the scene, which is spot on, cos this is a comedy after all! The writer wants to make us laugh, like she does b4 the beginning of each ep! Whereas I just cant get pass how he can look so handsome in a bathrobe, which is Not the most flattering of garments. My mind drifts to his wife, who has to (gets to) witness him shaving like that every morning. How can she handle so much hotness in such close proximity? :)

    @KDaddict-477
    I also think when one of them is married, they are careful with every detail of their relationship. The kisses are not that hot, we see less physical contact and for some of them we can’t see even a real hug. Although the story was different in City hall. There was awesome chemistry between the couple and i never can forget how CSW looked at KSN. It was amazing.
    I also felt that pain and frustration in KSH’s king and got frustrated when they kissed each other for the first time, EMOTIONLESS.

    That’s why it’s better for them to hide their relationships or get married a bit later than normal people. It seems they can’t separate personal life and business, people are too into celebrities’ personal life and rumors spread as fast as wind.

    Yeah, i love QIM couple so much. Although i’m not interested in their real life relationship -coz it somehow ruins my feelings for the drama- but i can see their news everywhere. Poor them. It was better if they kept everything in silent.

    ep12
    DJ : Light sleeper…you can’t fall sleep when you next to me!!…it’s seem U so warm n gently.. Not only light sleeper will fall asleep ,me too if next to you ;-)
    TS : are all women like this?… 별로 .. 삼촌 , just Hong Pro ;-)

    N the Collin…maybe not belong to anyone!!

    hny Says:

    the last capture in ep 12 is Dj’s Bathrobe scene…lol…I never thought JDG can do funny act…with latin dance ooo so adorable..n his hair style should be like that v suits for him .. handsome .. just like in AAE…hope he can stay w that hair style!!

    DJ n YS…they both..get into ‘nice couple’ in my list…so natural for ppl in 30/40s..they relations just straight to the point…not like young ppl who need adventure in love relationship. So must seen this drama ..

    @sara-483,
    It is an extremely difficult line to toe:
    If they don’t make themselves believe they r in love w their co-star acting in char, then it doesn’t look believable. If it is too believable, then a scandal will erupt, n their reputation will suffer. (We should be more appreciative of their efforts.)
    That’s why actresses like KSA, HJW, n Choi Ji Woo r at the apex of A-listers. They have chemistry with every co-star n never have scandals. Choi Ji Woo’s chemistry w Bae Yong Joon in WS was off the charts n exploded into the Hallyu wave. Since then she makes u believe in every love story she has starred in. The only exception n enigma is Air City. She n Lee Jung Jae r both top stars, yet, there is no electricity there. Strange. Is it becos that show falls flat in every way?
    Re City Hall:
    KSA can have chemistry w a tree if she needs to. She is that amazing an actress. N CSW is arguably the most expressive star in KD-land. His acting style is quite explicit. No one can miss what he wants to portray.
    While watching I do I do, I find that Gong Yoo has an amazing command of his face muscles, to express rather exactly subtle changes in emotions, n every change is captivatingly beautiful! I’m in love!
    Another star in that category is Hyun Bin. So u put HB n HJW together, each one the best in emoting, n it’s a combination to die for.
    I haven’t seen JDG’s work much, since he has few KDs. It’s only been 12 eps of this show. I know that he shows Cool n Debonair real well. (Do u think he n HB r on the same level of coolness? I cant quite decide). The script really hasn’t allowed him any chance to show longing or conflict so far. Similarly, KHN has been required to show confusion, embarrassment, n goodness more than anything else thus far. I see no longing. If we dont see longing on either side, seems like it’d be a bit more difficult to see chemistry.

    Of course they look good together. There’s no Qn. U put together two of the prettiest ppl on earth, how can they not? Of course we ship this couple in GD. Absolutely.

    @KDaddict-488

    I think you mean Gong Yoo in Big and not I Do I Do. Yes, agreed with you on his command of facial muscles – he can portray a myriad of emotions instantly, one of the best so far.

    As for JDG and HB, I would rate them equal in terms of coolness. Both can act very well if they are portraying cynical, cool, debonair and witty characters. However, I would personally rate HB better for sad or crying scenes based on his acting in Snow Queen and SeGa as compared to JDG’s last drama in AAE and AGD. In AAE, JDG’s character was so perfect with no faults. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the drama but I find it hard to believe
    that such perfect character exists in this world.

    Hence, I like his current role as DJ better as it is more realistic, confident and mature. His conversations are witty, sharp and don’t beat around the bush.

    KDaddict Says:

    @tc,
    Hehehe…… I’m obviously beside myself in giddiness over the current 3 top dramas. Yes, that’s Gong Yoo in BIG, of course. TQ.
    I’m… almost…inclined to say that HB is cooler, becos he looks more natural doing it, whereas JGD is plenty cool in GD, but u can see him acting cool. U know what I mean? But he brings sth to that dancing in the bathrobe scene that I think HB wouldn’t be showing: a mature manliness, a worldly sexuality that HB was still too young for b4 he entered MS. Perhaps we’ll see a change in that particular vibe in his future KDs.
    AAE really didn’t show off JDG’s appearance or acting to their utmost best. It just presented a no-thrills JDG, a perfect (therefore bland) char, attractive in n of himself, but hard to compete w screen heroes in more up to date KDs. KDJ is loads more interesting.

    @KDaddict
    HB is super handsome. I can say he looks like a Romanian sculpture with beautiful perfect face lines, sharp boney nose, full lips, soft skin, perfect body and a charismatic manly gaze. He can act as bad guys. The ones you can’t help but love. The i-know-you-will-fall-with-me ones with that pretty smirk on the corner of his lips. At the same time he can cry so sadly that you forget the bad guy. His stylish crying scene in SEGA is still in my mind. I say stylish coz he was so pretty while crying. For example Rain’s crying scene in LTK made me sick.

    It’s the first time i’m watching one of JDG’s works. He also is very handsome, sexy and cool with a magical gaze. It’s episode 12 and KDJ has a unique personality. He can make you crazy with his dancing in bathrobe, but to me it’s not enough to call him cooler than HB. His big eyes and tanned skin reminds me of an Indian prince.

    Wow, KSA can have chemistry with a tree? This is the most beautiful compliment I’ve ever heard about an actress. Yeah, she can. She and HJW are two queens of K-drama kingdom. You know it has more than two kings.

    Ep12
    I loved this episode. The best one so far. More plot development. I loved:

    1.Yoon is jealous like a kid. He even lies to see how MAR is doing.

    2.MAR is hurting him to make him think about her. Adorable, she is really adorable. I hope that cold Colin falls in love with her. It would be super intersting.

    3.Sera fights and get hit, break up with TS. Good work TS, “I never will come back to you, again.”

    4.JDG kills. My fave scene is car scene. His sleepy pretty eyes with that magical gaze and that “live with me, we’ll be happy” which comes from a heart that ‘s looking for a stable, comfortable love is supeeeeeeeeeeer sexy.

    It seems angst is going to start soon. He says she has been the only heroin who almost broke up their friendship. Is her memory or her son can do the same again? It will be very intersting if she comes back again as a divorcee.

    I mean fall in love with me. I forgot to write it. Anyway sorry if i have some grammar error.

    KDaddict Says:

    @sara-491,
    Your post makes me so happy, in what u said abt HB n JDG! I think the same! You take the words right out of my mouth! Love it!
    KSA n HJW are indeed 2 queens. But dont forget the Original Queen of KD: Choi Ji Woo. This woman can smile so sweetly, look loving/longing so profoundly, tear up so gradually within seconds, she leaves no doubt in every emotion she portrays, while doing it looking like a princess or an angel. If in doubt, watch A Star’s Lover. It is not a particularly brilliant script, but performance fr both leads more than makes up for any shortcoming in the script. CJW–remains my fav KD actress of all times, bc she was the actress to completely turn my gaze fr American films n tv to KD, n I’m a loyal person. (But even CJW n Yoonie can’t save the hopeless script for Cant Lose).

    KDaddict Says:

    @sara,
    Can u fall asleep on his arm, like YS? Esp when you r just starting to date? That’s why she is not a dynamic char!
    I know the last thing I can do is fall asleep, unless I’ve been prevented fr sleeping for a straight few days prior! ;)

    sara Says:

    @KDaddict
    I knew HB was super handsome but watching SEGA a few nights ago made me understand again howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww great and handsome he is.

    Absolutely can’t. Especially when you are a shy, conservative person who’s been in a one sided love for a long time and the man is so hot that even lying on his arm can burn you. Sexy hot. That’s why i can’t relate to her and MAR is shining more than her.
