Yang se jong could u you please give us anything new? I think your gesture, the way you talk, walk, stare, angry etc….nothing change since your 1st drama
August 9th, 2018 at 12:22 am
I’m soooo addicted to this drama. Cant wait for next week. Yang se Jong ❤️❤️❤️❤️
August 12th, 2018 at 4:36 pm
@Era#18: i understand what you are saying to ysj, but if you watch a lot of kdramas, and the actors (male and female) are young and new in their trade, you will notice and can say that the acting is the same. i said the same thing of actors i admired in the first drama i’ve watched of them, but found that in their following roles, there is nothing noteworthy that i should watch them again, as if i was following certain actors how they evolved in their profession. there’s this actor, who has more acting experience, still he no longer impressed me in the last drama i’ve watched of him. i don’t know, since i don’t personally know any of these actors, that maybe their own personalities come out as natural as it could, even given by the characters that they are supposed to play could make it a little different. thus, i no longer watched a drama because of who starred in it, but look for something different from the similar plots they tend to show. cheers!
August 13th, 2018 at 10:28 pm
best drama of the year! highly recommended!
August 14th, 2018 at 9:55 pm
Great drama. Love it ! Shin hyesun is really cute. She did good job in potraying the 17 y/o girl. Love her so much ❤
August 23rd, 2018 at 11:56 am
Good drama so far. Waiting for next week episode.
August 23rd, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Why still no upload of latest episodes even after 2 days?
August 25th, 2018 at 1:47 pm
I’am falling in love with this drama… very highly recommended…
I watched some Yang Se Jong’s dramas, but I love him here… his aura, his talk, his gesture, love….
he’s so cute, cool, gentle…
The story line is so awesome too… Good job, all actors and actresses…
Fighting…
August 25th, 2018 at 8:51 pm
This is my first ever case of second lead syndrome!! I’ve always rooted for the 2 main leads to get together and love the coldness of one person to the other and the warm moments that come after, but I can’t help but love chan more in this drama!! Really really enjoying it so far regardless 🙂
August 28th, 2018 at 4:20 pm
episode 19 & 20 are so slow. Still cannot watch 🙁
August 29th, 2018 at 12:09 pm
why the upcoming episode didnt air yet?
August 31st, 2018 at 12:43 pm
This drama is so slow and short air time per week. 🙁
Saturday half hour, Sunday half hour = 1 hour per week.
Other drama that air on Saturday and Sunday usually have 1 hour each day and total 2 hours a week.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:22 pm
In reply to the above 2 episodes it is only because of the Asian (or asean) games being aired on tv in Korea at the moment otherwise there would be 2 hours a week like it used to be, I believe it will go back to normal and air 2 hours a week 🙂
September 8th, 2018 at 3:01 pm
OIC. Thank you.
September 8th, 2018 at 8:36 pm
Really love this drama
September 11th, 2018 at 6:46 am
Very good drama, it deserves at least 24 point.
Because of all the well produced drama I has been inspired to visit Korea, so I am traveling with a tour guide to Korea at the end of this month
September 13th, 2018 at 1:59 pm
Gong Woo Jin well carried the character and all the actors & actress carried the character….. worth to watch drama….. the story super good…
September 13th, 2018 at 4:31 pm

It is indeed WOW. Can’t help but fall in love with this drama. I agree with the above comments. The casts are all very good. Thank you so much for this beautiful drama. Job well done.
September 19th, 2018 at 2:08 am
Poor Yang Se Jong. Korea must be running out of good younger actresses. He seems to only act with older actresses as his co-star.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:51 pm
This was suppose to be 40 episodes?? Why why why?? ????. I really like this drama. ??
September 19th, 2018 at 1:39 pm
Anyone please tell me the title of the Background Music playing on Episode 29 during the scene when Gong Woo Jin is talking to his Doctor/Counselor.
Thanks
September 20th, 2018 at 11:09 am
I like this drama a lot, there is a little bit holes in the plot but I really enjoy the overall feel of this drama. In “oh my ghost” Shin Hye Sun did not stand out but she did really great here, I need to watch “My Golden Life”. The dog is probably the most talented among them and it deserved all the air time, so cute.
September 20th, 2018 at 12:14 pm
and they all live happily ever after! it’s a good watch!
September 20th, 2018 at 6:54 pm
Wonderful drama!!!! So kind, romantic and funny!
And all main actors are great and their life stories!!!!!
Woo Seo Ri, Gong Woo Jin, Yoo Chan and Jennifer were awesome!!!!
September 22nd, 2018 at 1:37 pm
This drama is very well written. It really has a good storyline that will get you hooked from the beginning till the end.
Plus both Yang Se Jong and Shin Hye Sun portray their roles really well. You’ll be unconsciously laughing and crying along the entire drama.
Such a masterpiece. ❤ Highly recommended!
September 25th, 2018 at 12:55 am
Actually I dont like Shin Hye Sun because of some of her drama. I watch it just because of yang se joong.
But after I watch few episodes, I suddenly in love with Shin hye sun’s character and acting.
Anyway after all this drama is wortg to watch.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:59 pm
very good drama…cute…highly recommended!!!
September 28th, 2018 at 1:03 pm
Wow, damn, I am so addicted to these series. I love all of the actors and actresses. I kept telling my friends about that. Very excellent and thrilling episodes!
October 1st, 2018 at 1:28 pm
I Love this drama,,,
recommended,,,
September 8th, 2019 at 9:17 am
This was such a wonderful drama! It’s simple in its story, but it’s packed with heart, emotions, and hope. Yang Se Jong and Shin Hye Sun were an amazing couple. A beautiful drama!
January 20th, 2020 at 3:59 pm
The lead actress (Shin Hye-sun) was good in acting especially in Angel’s Last Mission: Love. She made me cry at the same time she made me fell in love in ballet. That is the reason why I decided to watch all of her Kdrama.
January 26th, 2020 at 5:23 am
I think she is the most ugly actress in the drama Still 17 among all other actresses. And the later part of this drama was a bit boring.
December 23rd, 2021 at 10:49 am
The very best korean actress😍
