Hmm I'll probably check this out cuz I enjoyed the first season so much...

I loved INR until the last episode. It was so out of the norm for a Kdrama. I couldn't delete it fast enough, the ending made me so angry.

Really Show? You had 3 ways to end this(2 of which I would have been fine with) and you had to go THERE? I'm still bitter. :)

Unless it's a different writer. Or the writer got a brain transplant, I'll pass. Probably. :)

I liked the first season so I'll definitely check this out....first Dream High 2 and now this, 2012 is shaping up the be great

I liked the first but hated the ending.. anyway.. I hope they find good actors like in S1..^__^

Absolutely hated the ending. It was like a kick in my gut, that ending.

I liked the male cast i should say

That means I need to watch the first season. Lol

I feel iffy about this. I liked a lot of the old cast...

You really liked Jo Yeo-jung the best, GF? I found the other two girls more intriguing and loved Choi Yeo-jin's characterization. I think those two have more dating adventures in them, too. Ah, well. Hope it's good.

I liked the breezy tone of the first one so hopefully they will keep it. What they should do is keep Choi Jin Hyuk and follow his character, the hotel heir with a voice of gold (!), as he finds love cause he was single at the end of season 1.

Get on it tvN!

I actually liked the ending of the first season. o_o
It was refreshing to see the girl not end up with the guy she's "supposed" to be with.

I loved the whole drama... i mean seriously! i just felt sooooo bad for Bae Seung Hyun.. but in the end of the day - that was the most realistic Kdrama i've seen. :)

I echo GF's good and bad vibe. Next year, but which month?

S1 had its glorious moments, and then... poof! Maybe the magic is within the unfulfilled ending of S1 which S2 will make-up and trot protagonists alike to cheer for S2 cast on to a better place.

Count me in. I just need to decide which martini to start S2 on. Any suggestions? Who else wants to chime in on this drinking escapade?

Random: Whatever happened to those gominam talent search project? I merely recall the stickiness of the last dude, a model, who didn't mind stripping nekkid for his audition, and the shuffle king who spoke Mandarin.

I loved the first season: the characters, the situations AND the music, especially the song about Yolanda :)
I will definitely miss the old cast. It would be great though, if there were at least place for the pHOTographer in the second season...
Santa, I've been an awful good girl!

I'm looking forward to it! I really enjoyed the first one. I totally agree with you that it made more sense to have a new cast. It definitely had its closure although, not the best.

Nuh... It won't have the hot photographer :(

Great angle. I would love to see new cast and new story lines to keep it enjoyable and not stale.

i absolutely adored this. and by the end, resigned myself with being part of the smaller camp.

hope it'll just be as gripping!

I am probably the only person in the world who was really, really glad she ended up with her boyfriend of ten years. The other guy was wonderful, he really was, and yes the boyfriend did something really awful, but from the way the series was going it made more sense to me that she and her boyfriend patch things up. He had some growing up to do, and they HAD been drifting apart, but part of working out a relationship that you want to last forever is making a conscious effort to repair rifts and forgive wrongs, even if he had commited a pretty major one.

Besides, it was REALLY nice to not watch her ride off with the millionaire who is going to completely change her life.

I love the 1st season and I am glad they don't use the same characters. Love the ending of the first season too. I can't wait to see what they do with the second season.

i love the first season i definitely check this out cuz i need more romance

SPOILER

I also stopped watching when i heard she ended up with her ex. I think it was kinda obvious she was going to end up with her boyfriend of TEN YEARS. I figured it out when they went on that date and she totally ignored the Bae Sang Hyun and sat with her ex. It's hard to forget something you had with someone for ten years. I think if Sang Hyun wasn't so quick to ask her to marry him, things might have worked out in his favor. Just my opinion (:

Great series, love the freshness also.

Love love I need romance!! I thought the ending was good..very realistic.

The ending was befuddling, then again I thought the relationship with the other young rich guy won't
pan out so well either (seriously, his family wanted her to change her name & background). That was whack if you ask me. So i guess the lesson was if you're a 30-something korean working woman you shouldn't sass so much about your choices, go directly for the (love)leftovers/ scrapes and pretend that's happiness.
Otherwise you end up alone, despised by society and probably eaten by mad murder-trained dogs
(if you're lucky a hot vampire prosecutor will drink few drops of your blood and figure out who the master mind killer* is, but the horrible
part, worse than death, would be getting dissected by a femme fatale mortician/pathologist Dr who will never experience first hand what it's like to be you given
her propensity to cause heart tremors simply by crossing her legs, and strategically offering sneak peaks of her rather humongous boobs).

Anyways, the world in korean drama is totally whack, yet addictive. That simply cannot be said about the real world, it's probably the lack of ost music. I think that each time you get dumped or fired, an appropriate ost song should play in the background to signal to you that down the road there is a hyun bin looklike chaebol waiting to fall in love with you (in fact, you're destined lovers who met for the first time in the hall of a clinic or some other tall building and fell in love instantly but couldn't express it well because you were still fetuses in your moms' bellies ).

I quickly escaped from thanksgiving (un)festivities to read dramabeans because I'm an addict, and ended up rambling like a lunatic. I have to go back!
Happy thanksgiving everyone ! Javabeans, I love you! and if I weren't so desperately irrevocably a girl I might just woo you, then marry you and then force (no, persuade)
you to write recaps for every kdrama & movies I ever watched. No, that's not creepy at all, hmm... I just like your recaps :) Sorry, girlfriday, i used your post to
confess my love to Javabeans, if it weren't for the song joong ki, go soo, lee dong wook of the world, i might actually try my luck with the gals at db. Again, happy
thanksgiving, peace and love.

PS: *the master mind killer is
a. ask the hot vampire prosecutor, he drank the blood after all. He knows staff, his eyes glow blue.
b. someone who is trying to cover up the real story of betrayal and greed behind the victim birth secret
c. Milbon, the victim was working on a great cause with king Se Jong ( omg I have a major ahjussi crush on han seok-kyu as king se jong)
d. a reincarnated turkey out for revenge against the people (including present victim) who ate him in previous life

for me I need romance was the worst drama ever. that guy and that woman were stupid till the end >_<

I really liked the ending of the first season, actually. Sure Choi Jin Hyuk's character was WONDERFUL, but she didn't love him like she loved her ex. Not all romances end; some of them get into really deep s**t and still manage to move forward. I really think that's what it was all about and really like that about this drama.

I was really happy she decided to go back to him. Not because she's 30 and she had to and not really because they were together for so long, but because she really really loved him. A lot. I mean, sure his dumb a** figured out he loved her a bit late and almost lost her, but I didn't hate his character at all--I really liked him too. And thought they were good together. They're both a bit childish, so for me the ending was nice; knowing that they'll grow together as a couple.

I don't think I would make that choice myself, but for her I think it was the right one.

I will pass on this one. The ending hurt my pride as a woman. I did not care if she ended up with the six packs or not but to go back to your ex who has repeatedly cheated on you it was a real blow to my pride.
If she was living in a different situation; she was not working or did not have a career, or she was financially in hardship I would understand it a little but she went from one relation to another and back to the vomit.
I remember I was in high school that one of the girls tried to get back to her ex who has cheated on her with her best friend so my teacher took all the girls to the yard and told us to stand in a circle then she dumped some ugly stuff in the middle and told us this was a delicious meal eaten before and is a vomit; do not ever eat back your own vomit.

Why is it that ur comments are all witty and funny??? GirlHero ur just plain hilarious and imaginative! I LOVEE INR but the ending was quite disappointing. I even had a discussion about the ending with my husband. I just don't get it when women always settles for less, second rate garbage when clearly she deserves more, if not the best. It's the "better than nothing," mentality. But anyways, I will prolly watch S2 just to see how the story unfolds.

Since they gonna cast new actors, why not Jo In Sung and Yoon Eun Hye? They two gonna make a great chemistry and passionate kisses :P

I've watched this drama because of Kim Jeong-Hoon but end up falling in-love with Choi Jin Hyuk. Yes I know that if she will end up with Choi's character it will be again a fairy-tale-like korean drama and ending up with her ex is much more on the realistic side. But thinking about the ending I'd rather choose for her to be alone and contemplate about her relationships and enjoy being SINGLE. Being with a guy for 10 years and cheated on you twice must be very tiring.

Loved this drama until the very end although it's a somewhat copy of Sex in the City (Asian Version). Let's be real about this drama. She threw away a good guy to get back with her cheating ex-boyfriend...really? That's how it's going to end?

What kind of message does this send to women? Throughout the drama, you find yourself sympathizing with the character but in the end she's not the independent, self-thinker she makes herself out to be. She's insecure, stupid, a user, and a dummy.

To make it worse, the directors come up with " I Need Romance 2" but with a different cast. Who does that? Do you think when Sex In The City came back for the 2nd version they switched the cast? HELL NO! The different characters is a BIG TURNOFF. Will not watch season 2.

btw: WHERE IS THE SELF-RESPECT IN THIS DRAMA PEOPLE? NONE. WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THIS DRAMA A BIG FLOP!
