Oh my, have I gone too far in describing the 3rd kiss? I hope I didn’t offend anyone out there. If I did, my apologies. I described it as I imagined what both would be thinking and feeling at the very moment they were kissing. I must have stretched my imagination too far.
@jangerr, sunahforever, kriss, True2u, lyn, Jennie, Marie, kbnhkr, usa-mary
Thank you for the appreciation of the summaries. I am both humbled and honored. It is a pleasure to be sharing and interacting with you. To quote jangerr, “It is this healthy and fun exchanges of thoughts and shadings that made this ride all the more enjoyable.” And this wouldn’t be possible at all if you were not around. Your being here doubles the fun in watching KSA’s dramas. Until then…I’m definitely looking forward to sharing another wonderful experience with you in the future…our dear KSA please don’t make us wait too long.
P.S. I still owe you the THE KISS.

@jangerr775
I so heartily agree with what you said on KSA’s dramas. That’s why I love her works! Aside from the emotional pull, there is always an intellectual pull to her dramas. “Thought provoking, controversial and pertinent social issues” are presented in the guise of a rom-com. And what better approach to pose these issues without jarring the sensibilities of the viewers. They have the option to just watch and breeze through the drama or sit back, reflect and mull over the issues presented. Her works may be light but are never shallow, which, sad to say is what is prevalent in the mainstream dramas and regrettable, these lamentable works are what make it to the top in the rating game.
Watching KSA dramas is a total experience. With her innate talent for acting – be it drama or comedy -, her characteristic charm that makes all her leading men of whatever age look so gorgeously attractive, her distinct ability to strike a captivating chemistry with them, her facility to bring out the best in her partners, her brand of humor and, of course, her trademark ‘kiss’ make viewing her dramas exhilarating. Tell me then, how can we not love her!

@Tru2u-769, zarima-772,
I haven’t been posting seriously on this thread; just some haphazard reactions, becos I know there is a group of KSA lovers here, who know her work in depth, and are articulate and expressive. I love KSA v much, but I also love many others. Since this KSA group love her more than any other actor, I feel this is their ballgame, n humbly bow out to them.
Just one thought evoked by jangerr’s 775:
KSA is brave to tackle the issue of single motherhood in a drama. The ratings haven’t been as good as the drama deserves. I believe that that has to do w single motherhood being the theme of this show.
KSA and the writer want to portray it in a brave, positive light. I take my hat off to them for venturing into that territory on Korean prime time tv, and for doing so in a fun, light hearted manner.
Can’t wait to see what she brings us next time!

@Tru2u,
I suspect that Big came abt this way:
Someone asked the writers, “What excuse can you come up with to let GY act cute for 16 eps?” They knocked off a few bottles of soju together, n Voila, the script was born. On that criterion, it is an astounding success.
I’m now watching Chaser, Ghost, n Bridal Mask. Love the ahjussi’s acting in Chaser, n their totally organic faces.

I Doers: I enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. Hope we can do it again soon, as well!

LMBOOOO!!!!!
I can sooo picture them doing this -_-. LOL!!!!

Sorry, I missed replying to you earlier.
@zarima USA 772
Thank you. I’ll try what I can do.
I am humbled that you find my attempt in expressing my insights matters.
I watch Kdramas as much as I can but don’t have the luxury of time. It is only on KSA’s dramas that I dare write. I haven’t done it with any other dramas. Let’s see…again thank you.
@Marie 761
Thank you!
July 27th, 2012 at 10:43 am
my life is like and empty shell, now that I Do I Do is over, is like you devote your heart and soul into this drama and focus only on one thing, Tae Kang and Jian together is really fun, really enjoyed the drama. thanks for Sunny and Jang Woo, my love to be in this drama. it’s hard to let go!!!
July 27th, 2012 at 10:53 am
miss, miss, miss the show… sequel please!
July 27th, 2012 at 11:38 am
@mtoenlob,
I too paid u a compliment. You probably didn’t see it cos its inside a longer comment #766.
I liked your comments on SOAW, tho we had diff interpretations on certain pts in the plot. Around here, u r probably KSA’s no. 1 fan. Till next time then. Oh, that’s an interesting nickname u have.

On this page, near the top, I get an ad of a shoe company. It has pictures of very pretty high heels in it. They are the kind of shoes that JA designed, esp. the pair that won the competition in the show. LOL. Do you guys get the same ad?
July 27th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
@786 KDaddict: I’ve seen the ad while I Do I Do was airing, but its not there now. It may return because the ads do change often.
Yay gang! May I interject that I like the way KSA portrays different personalities in each of the dramas/movies she’s acted in. As JiAn, she was very aloof, stoic, and distant from other people at work and with her parents. Much different from her other characters. This was her ‘survival of the fittest’ MOD in order to carry out her dream and not lose her mind or physically maim someone in the process. Her cool head in the midst of crisis situations beit the problem was created or accidental was a shield from her enemies and provided quick solutions to current problems which she thrived on! I had to make a few mental adjustments to be open a to watch this new KSA character.
I know we’re used to the quirky, fiesty, fun-loving, go with the flow characters of KSA…yet, this one, in a way, caused me in the beginning to wonder if this drama was worth watching. I’ve worked with women in corporate (like most of us have) like her…and I had to ask myself if I was willing to invest the time and energy to see where this was headed. Then, just as I was thinking this, enter TK with his father to remove him from the family register for purchasing Beyonce’ and it took off from there!
I’m glad I stayed for the entire run of the drama, and by the way. I’ve learned to look for clues as to guess the ending. That way I can stay open if the writer’s ending will not be what I perceived, therefore, I won’t be disappointed. So far, its been working. I knew she was going into business with someone from the opening credits, but didn’t know who at that time. The CLUE…the closed for business sign is turned by a woman’s hand…hers!
Until…

@KDaddict 785
I’m sorry… hope it’s not too late to thank you.
Thank you, too, for sharing your insights and views. I learned a lot from them. It’s good to have this kind of healthy exchanges, isn’t it? Until then…
Thank you everyone!

@I Doers
Really enjoyed this show and the comments in this thread. Agree with KDaddict and jangerr that viewers here are more matured, not so much in age but in thoughts. Will certainly miss you all!
July 27th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
I miss jian so much. I have to rewatch again.
July 28th, 2012 at 12:46 am
@779 KDaddict
Lol! That must be the case! That’s what GY did the whole show through. Not that he’s not good at it but it’s such a waste, don’t you think so? GY has a much wider repertoire than what was used in Big. Anyway, let’s hope he’ll be more selective in his choices of drama. In fact, let’s hope he’ll do one again with KSA. They were smokin’ in S Diary and She’s On Duty.
July 28th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
@jangerr,
If for 16 eps: Hyun Bin plays sb too cool for his own good, or Park Shi Hoo walks around showing his torso, or GY acts heart-throbbingly cute, I may not need a story to back up those scenes. Hee hee. That’s my limbic brain speaking, the lizard brain that is pure basic emotions. When I’m looking at the monitor, I wear this silly grin fr ear to ear. It’s when I look up that I realize sth is amiss. Maybe I should just check my cerebrum at the door when I watch KDs, n just go: Oppa, I love you!
Seriously tho, GY’s Silenced/The Crucible, while acclaimed, is only getting an art house run outside of Korea. He needs a BIG hit. We were sucked in by the Hong sisters’ reputation. Guess we Won’t make that mistake again.
If GY makes a drama w KSA, it’d be like we win the KD lottery!!!

For a shoes lover this drama is more than fun. a lot beautiful shoes in here, KSA, I’ll wait your next project. Luv her acting much^^

@776 mtoenlob: To me…personally…I didn’t get that you stretched your imagination too far about the 3rd kiss! You just added in your own words what I saw and what the writer and producer wanted to convey to us. That kiss sizzled because they hadn’t seen each other for a month and TK wasn’t a happy camper about it…in his own cute way! The poor baby was missing their skin-ship time. You know, I’ve never been a ‘romance novel reader or fan, so I don’t know how to grade one over the other for quality, yet I will say that you expressed maturely what I saw. I say this to encourage you to write more. Some of the kissing scenes in some of the dramas are so dry or cold, like kissing a cold mackeral…that there’s nothing in it. A romantic scene among lovers is supposed to sizzle or be emotionally moving. Not come across like a hand shake between acquaintances!
I’m not trying to take anything away from the commentor who shared his/her view about what you wrote. On the contrary, I find it interesting, and I welcome the contrast because we all have different outtakes on what we see…the contrasts makes it more fun to converse about the drama…that is if the person is open and game to go for it! This earth would be DULL if we agreed on everything!
Mtoenlob, I look forward to more of your analyses whether about kissing or anything else!

i love it. it is so romantic and i am so pleased to watch
August 4th, 2012 at 4:28 am
re-watching this awesome drama everyday. miss the couple/jian, tae kang tandem so so badly…
August 5th, 2012 at 2:20 am
I’m savoring this drama by re-watching it again! Usually some dramas interject funny scenes here and there. Yet, this one has the most hilarous antics in each episode from beginning to end! From that, I had some what if’s that crossed my mind while watching the 1st episode like…
BEST JOB POSITION EVER-WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC! Wouldn’t you just love being the clerk in the city registrar’s office that waited on TK and his father…slamming I.D. cards on your desk. Telling you to take the son’s name off the family register while the son is telling you to take his name off the register! Then witness when PKS threatens to hit TK after he tells his father that with just a bit of rearranging of the family registry, they wouldn’t be related anyway! AIGOOO….! TK goes into a mock self-defense mode that is so funny!
WHAM BAMM NO THANK YOU AHJUMMA! What if you were a passerby, witnessing this fisaco! TK’s beloved Beyonce’ is hurt and he’s more concerned about the condition of his brand new motorcycle than HJA. Appalled by his behavior, she askes if he’s an MRI and TK asks HJA if she’s a member of an insurance fraud group trying to collect insurance money! Well, TK may not be an MRI, yet he is a FAHWTB! hehehe
PONY ‘BEYONCE’ EXPRESS! Wouldn’t you have loved being behind TK as he rode you to the fashion show. Taking side streets you didn’t know existed. While weaving and bobbing through narrow passage ways to the point that you couldn’t take it any more and just let it rip! Holding on for your dear life so tight that you didn’t even know he had stopped! Well, if nothing else, sitting behind TK and holding him at his waist would have been a big plus!
FASHION COLLISION COURSE 101. Who would dare tell a designer of HJA’s caliber that a pair of her famed shoes will not grace the runway! Especially, when she said she would take responsibility. After all, going to prison would be like a retreat for her. She had no husband or children to concern herself with, so….! You leave her with no other alternative except….take all the shoes, even off the feet of the models. Even without teeth you need to eat; without shoes…walk barefoot! Oh, by the way, wouldn’t you find it fascinating to be one of her staff members when told that if you let them take the shoes back…you won’t have a job to go to tomorrw! I would have a grizzly bear grip and an elephant’s strength holding on to those shoes! By the way…they did! hehehe
Until….
