Hi Basuha,
Welcome back. I was wondering what happened to you. I agree that K-drama have run into pretty dry spell. I have no interest in any other dramas whether it be Japan/Taiwan after City Hall, bummer.
I did some travelling and will next month again, which is good as
it keeps me busy then.
I have to catch up later on and find something interesting to watch.
Good to hear from you, take care and god bless.

Definitely NOT worth watching! Bad acting, mediocre story & character development,… No need to waste your time on this drama.
The only recent & current dramas worth watching are: City Hall (the best), Shining Inheritance, My Too Perfect Sons & Loving You A Thousand Times.

have seen the first eps of this series and wasn’t able to finish even half of it as I find the male lead though cute but bad in acting and thus found it so booorring….I understand that this is his first acting job but still cannot force myself to watch, he makes me wince every now and then everytime he’s on screen, he’s pretty face wasn’t enough for me to even finished 1 ep…..maybe will give it a try again if I can’t find any other dramas but then again I don’t know when I’ll have the time as this coming months many more interesting dramas are scheduled to arrive, like You’re Beautiful (with pretty Jang Geun Suk), Iris (with the hottie Lee Byung Hun)..both of them not only an eye candies but has an acting prowess to boot….and yes enjoying Loving You a Thousand Times right now….

For me this drama is far from being a failure. Yunho’s acting improves from episode to episode, I like all of the main characters (excluding evil lawyer), I think Yunho has a pretty good chemistry with both leading ladies. The plot isn’t very ambitious but it’s light and entertaining and the whole thing is really really funny. Besides I’ve always liked football so a football drama plus nice, likeable characters plus sexy Yunho is what I call entertainment:D It does have some quite visible flaws but in general it’s pleasant to watch:) when I compare it to the other sport drama that I watched recently – Buzzer Beat, it’s waaaaay funnier and more interesting. So give it a try guys;) And those who were irritated by Yunho’s acting…it really becomes better in the course of time:)

a bit boring..
October 31st, 2009 at 2:49 pm
why mbc cut this drama in to only 16 episode??? just because the rating not good
November 6th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Love U-know Yunho, Lee Yoon Ji, Lee Sang Woo not Goh Ara. Boring drama, still love U-know. Miss him performance in stage.

During this drama was on-air in Korea or even the rating was not so
high. In Bangkok, Thailand we were very enjoy to watch the drama
on line every wed.&thurs.
The compliants about the story line came out a lot during the airing time,
for my idea i tired to get into the things that the writer wanted to
express, however, I think this is one of the good sport series ,
that we can see for entertaining your days. My husband &
I was addicted to the drama, we download it from the internet with
subtitle. We now seeing them until ep.13 only 3 ep remaining.
One thing I can notice from this drama is how cool Yunho improved his
acting skill, & how Bonggoon & Haebin became to have their chemistry
together. It’s good to see.
HTTG is one of the warm & good sport series, you should watch.
Have a good day, guys ^^

i finished the whole series and yes, yunho never fail to disappoint me
after watching the first episode i was quite uncertain if i wanted to continue on. but because i am a fan of dbsk, i wanted to carry on watching yunho. i am happy i carry on watching because i have to admit it’s getting better each episode. after episode 6, i am completely addicted !
afterall, all main actors & actresses really did a fantastic job ! ^^
this is a light hearted story that even people like me detested football enjoyed the whole storyline.
try watching guys if u have not given a try !

a little bit boring with this drama…make me want to skip every single scene on it
December 13th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
After I watched, I love it and love Yun Ho more, he alway do all best although he have the pain heart, not matter event the low rating, we still love you, My Yunho!

Boringgggg….don’t waste your time to watch this drama..skip it..
February 8th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
I still am trying to figure out why this drama failed. I didn’t like the 1st episode, but after that, Yunho’s acting became credible, better and better each time, the story is beautiful, and all the actors have skills. I definitely recommend it!!!
