love you lee dong wook .. saraniaa
waiting for you in another drama .. fighting.. your the best
November 9th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
I like this drama because Lee Dong Wook is the male star but I am dissapointed because the leading female star is too old for LDW.
November 13th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I like this drama. It made me cry,laugh etc.. It made me have mix feelings while watching it. good drama,.
November 13th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
it doesn’t matter if kim-sun ah is older compared to lee dong wook…what is important is the story where the drama dwells..still, ksu is so wonderful…we just need to look beyond the physical aspects of the actors…

I must say that this is a good Korean drama series. I admire the acting of both the leading casts. On the other side, I fell in love so much with the drama “My Girl” that I could not help but look for the chemistry between Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da-hae while watching this drama and it did not meet my expectations. Still, good job for this one.

i haven’t finished watching this drama yet. so i searched for some MVs on YT. found myself already crying, especially when yeon jae’s illness was at its worse. i’m looking forward to watch all episodes of this drama. ^^
SBS is really the best in making dramas! ^^ Including 49 days and city hunter, this one is also a drama that I strongly recommend for everyone to watch. It’s really worth it. ^^

November 20th, 2011 at 8:59 pm
love this drama.. haven’t seen any drama that made me cry so much since Baker King.. this has lots of lessons to learn.. this made me start to write down my own bucket list.. we all gonna die but it’s just a matter of preparing ourselves when that time comes.. great job to the production team! well done!

I cried in that scene in the finale chapter when kang ji wook put a smiley on the “20.To close my eyes in the arms of the one i love.
I really thought she died. HAhah i was fooled.
Lee dong wook is gorgeous in these drama. I love him in my girl too.
Ive cried when he cried. Brilliant acting. Thumbs up.

@tc Hi tc, I just read that Kim Suna and Lee Dong Wook will be in Spore n M’sia to promote this drama on December 5th n 6th. Shall we go wave our poms poms too like the rest of the fans? Maybe we should prepare placards that read ” We love you both but SoAW was a disappointment!” Hee hee, they’d probably drag us away!
November 22nd, 2011 at 9:57 pm
@Jennie
Yes, I feel the same way and the organizer will likely ban us from entering when they see the placard! By the way, found out that my idol PSH will be in SG on next Tue , 29 Nov attending a music award function. How I envy his Singaporean fans who can have a chance to take a close look of him and perhaps shake his hand!
November 23rd, 2011 at 12:07 am
Oh really? I didn’t know that. You never know, I might just ‘bang’ into him by ‘accident’ and you never know, he might just fall for my charms instantly and I’d be the envy of all his fans. I can admire the bod of his 24/7 and guess who’ll be green with envy? KDaddict, hahaha!
November 24th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
@tc and Jennie,
I’m going to Japan on Dec 1, so I’m not going to SG for Nov 29 lah! Esp since he’ll be fully clothed at the event.
Jennie, you have to work fast now n find out where he’ll be on that day, so that you can bump into him, (you really have to use that other word betwn quotation marks now, do you?). When u get to admire his bod 24/7, tc will be the 1st one to come over n kill u, cos she is closer to u than I am.

@KDaddict Aw naughty little girl aren’t you to be thinking that. The pun was “unintentional” you know ;-D Nah, I am too dignified to be actually there like a demented fan, screaming for him unless it’s Micky! I’d probably try to sneak into his hotel room and try to get peeks at those pecs of his to see if they are for real. But before that, I gotta find out where he’s staying first.
Sorry, but I can’t help it, when I see or hear the name PSH, I see his six-pack abs first then I connect them to you. You know, I have this visual of you staring and gaping at his body somewhere in that night scene in TPM. Hahaha..♥♥you and PSH in TPM together ♥♥
I read somewhere before that Return OI is better than Iljimae. I actually have a cheap copy when it first came out but I have never gotten round to watching it, same as The Duo. They are just lying down somewhere collecting dust.
Whereabouts in Japan are you going? Am actually looking at Hokkaido for New Year hols but it’s so expensive to go Japan. It’s either that or Egypt which is more affordable.
November 25th, 2011 at 1:04 am
@Jennie,
Unintentional my foot! Anything betwn Q marks can’t be! Pecs, darling, pecs. We r talking breasts, not abs. Any pretty boy can develop abs, but real pecs you gotta respect!
Japan: I’m heading to Yokohama to see some friends, n to Tokyo for a Kabuki show. I love Japan, but Hokkaido in winter is too cold for my comfort. I’m Not into winter sports, unless u count hot springing in the snow. Eqypt is a pain to travel in cos they really aren’t nice to tourists. Of course if u travel w a tour group u r sheltered fr that somewhat. Still, they try to gouge u anyway they can n despise u for it. Middle E right now might not be the safest place to travel in either. Better pay a few extra $ than be caught in a revolution, rt?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
@KDaddict Hahhah, that’s why I said I gotta check if they’re for real. You have to ahh have some kinda of skinship to know that. I try to focus on his abs tho cos those pecs of his put lesser endowed women like me to shame, as I’ve mentioned before. Oh gawd, we gotta stop talking about this in public before we get shot down, like before
Okay, thanks for the tip on Egypt. We want to go shopping too so we’re also thinking of Seoul, Shanghai or Perth. I prefer somewhere with snow though, so Seoul maybe. Perth is out for sure cos I don’t want anywhere hot! But I really really want to go Hokkaido for the winter! Sigh!!!

@Jennie,
See reply on FH thread.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
@Jennie,
BTW, we always have the option of talking abt this by email, then we can be as silly or bold as we care to be n not offend anyone’s sensibilities. Hee hee.
November 25th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
@KDaddict and Jennie
Left my comments on Return of Ilj in FH thread. How nice to hear of your holiday plans – I love Japan and Korea and can’t wait to go again if I can just drag myself from work and Kdramas!
kDaddict is right, I will come over and ‘throttle’ you, Jennie if you get the chance first to admire PSH’s body since he is my idol and I can only see him in my dreams!
November 25th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
hihi.. KAddiction is now already hitting Philippines!! tEAH!
