@jeNNie and @claireroseaN
I aGree with yOu both… BIG & AGD is tHe best..!! I also wAtCh korean draMas becAuse i want to be entertained, if the show is getting harder to swaLLow, i’ll juSt stop watching it then find another tHat is beTTer.
July 20th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Yess…GONG YOO its amazing !!!!! I like….!!!!!!!!!!

@clairerosean
I want him to be YJ. Coz DR has to prove she loves KJ in his own body too. But i guess he is not YJ.
My prediction is: He is KJ and he remembers everything but his life is still in danger or he can somehow save YJ. So he pretends to be YJ.
I love if: It will be very interesting if KJ wakes up in his own body and this time YJ can make up for all the suffering he has been through his whole life. What do you think?
But logically: GY is the lead and the hero is KJ. Therefore, if Shin as KJ ever wakes up in this drama, it will be in 10 last minutes of ep 16. We might end up with another rainy day and umbrella taking scene.

i m really amaized by this drama it is the best it is very smart this time the hong sisters did the best of the best!! i mean usually people don t like love stories btw teacher and studnt and don t like the idean of changing bodies like this so the hong sister bascilly did a little trick wish is having an old 30 old man to be treated as an 18 years old studnt falling for his teacher so they kinda did a visual trick to make people swallow the story i like it it s really original and smart i really digg it!!
July 21st, 2012 at 6:20 am
idea* wich* sorry for the orthog faults still working on it xD
July 21st, 2012 at 10:36 am
OMG…. really good drama. i just finish watch ep 4. it so good… ^^
July 21st, 2012 at 10:38 am
im dissapointed, why i dont thought watch big, but decided to watch bored drama like dr jin^^^ huhuhu

Just finished watching Ep 16 with subtitles. The one that woke up should be KKJ, noticed his sleeping posture – the position he lied down while in the tent at the campsite (in the previous episode, Ep 12, I think) is exactly the same position that “YJ” woke up from in the last scene of Ep 16.
July 21st, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Sorry…should last scene of Ep 14 not 16.
July 21st, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Did not quite like last part of ep 13 and 14 – no doubt there were a lot of revelations about the backstory of KY’s parentage and his birth .Just don’t understand DR’s behavior of wearing back YJ’s ring and rejecting KY when she obviously love KY. Just felt that the reunion scene at the airport could have been better ending with a hug between them instead of just standing apart.
Gong Yoo’s acting is awesome especially his crying scenes- I can really feel for him, his heartbreak when he knows the truth behind his birth and DR’s change of heart to put YJ’s first instead of him. I also think the person that woke up at the end of ep 14 was still KY juggling by the way he lied down as pointed out by Sega-Fan.

@sega
whuu… i surprized when you say finish ep 16….
July 21st, 2012 at 1:44 pm
anybody know, why this title drama called BIG???
July 21st, 2012 at 2:39 pm
@sara
totally agree with you..
geez, irony of Monday and Tuesday is: we’d finally know what’s gonna happen but on the other hand, the show has to end as well.. which is quite sad coz surely, i’m gonna miss BIG a lot…
July 21st, 2012 at 5:46 pm
look forward to see this drama!!!..love Gong Yoo..

@meili
It’s related to KJ ‘s growing body and mind. Real KJ played by Shin is thinner and smaller than KJ in YJ’s body played by GY. So his body is big now. In the other hand, although KJ is too mature for his age but all the suffering he is going trough makes him big in mind too. Big is a pun for him getting more mature mentally and physically. Specially when he could been the older brother.

@clairerosean
Yeah, such a sad irony. I’m gonna miss it too. It was wonderful.

@ park jun hee
Ha…typed too fast and was concurrently watching Ep. 16 of “I Do I Do”, thus Ep 16 just came as I was typing that line.
The synopsis of Ep 15 is out. It’s KKJ that woke up but pretended to have loat his memory.

tsk tsk Hong Sisters did not make it BIG this time wit BIG, Feel sorry for Hallyu star Gong Yo.
July 22nd, 2012 at 2:56 am
Hey!! I want to ask u a question. I saw someone posted(sorry I didn’t remember the name) that Big is airing in some Asian countries. I want to know which countries are airing Big now? Bcoz my country isn’t airing Big until now. In this drams gong yoo showed the perfect acting skill and extreme hotness. I love him crazily. I noticed that his English pronunciation is quite good. Most of the Koreans actors and actresses’ English pronunciation is terrible. But he is quite good in this. There are only two episodes to end. So sad!!! Gong yoo will u leave us for five years again? Don’t do like this ha ha ha!!! Now I am waiting for next Monday like a fool. Love Big!!! Love gong yoo!!!

@sara
wait wait…. who is hong sister??? i often heard that name anywhere. in rooftp prince too..
July 22nd, 2012 at 6:10 am
@meili
Hong Jung Eun, Hong Mi Ran (Hong Sisters). Two famous and hit maker writers with a unique story telling style.
1.Sassy girl, Chun Hyang
2.My girl
3.Fantasy couple
4.Hong Gil Dong
5.You are beautiful
6.My girlfreind is a Gumiho
7.Best love
8.Big
These are their famous dramas. But as far as i know they don’t have anything to do with Rooftop prince.

@Arvie Rex
I don’t agree. I think BIG is like a new discovery of GY for lots of people, for example me. Ratings are just some numbers for advertisers and can’t determine the quality of a drama. We have seen some meaningless dramas with high ratings and some great dramas with low ratings. Big is the latter one and GY has shown his great acting skills in this drama. I believe Hong sisters can show us a new side of the actors with their writing style and ability in creating the characters. Hong sisters + great actors like GY= Magic and crazy love for the character. As how most of us feel about KJ.

@Sarah TV Ratings in Korea are VERY IMPORTANT. Simply as that. Perhaps Big may be popular to some asian countries but in terms of giving awards by KBS2, it will be too impossible to happen for Gong Yoo since this was his comeback TV drama project.
Lets see if Baeksang Awards will recognize Gong Yoo’s performance here but believe it or don’t, he will not be even be nominated.
And what i am saying about Big as not Big Successful is from all Hong Sister dramas
1.Sassy girl, Chun Hyang
2.My girl
3.Fantasy couple
4.Hong Gil Dong
5.You are beautiful
6.My girlfreind is a Gumiho
7.Best love
8.BIG got the lowest TV Ratings EVER!
I don’t wanna drag about how this b d this drama due to low ratings because i found this drama actually good (rate it 7/10), what i am concerned is the come back of Gong Yoo.
