Side effect of mandatory military service on k-drama fans: Immediate need to watch the first post-service drama

I will be watching this one.

oooh, when's the last time i watched Jang Ki Yong.... it's been such a long while!!!

I will be giving this a 4 episode trial as I love the idea of it and look forward to seeing if the execution lives up to expectation as I need something to fill the massive Queen of Tears hole in my weekend now.

And I hope @missvictrix gets her wish cause then I'll get mine too. Let's see a fantasy romance. that's all. Periiod.

I... Didn't really like the premiere. I found it very slow and dull (the muted colours didn't help) but I feel most betrayed by the story itself. I expected a healing fantasy romance, but this is more Moving x Parasite, as others have pointed out. This could get very angsty very fast, which is not what I was in for.

But seeing as everyone loved this except for me, I'll think watch the rest of the episodes a try? Maybe?

I liked ep 1! The visuals and music have drawn me in, along with the twists so far. I actually gasped when the bottle fell- it was so unexpected! Sad emo-boi Jang Ki Yong is really beautiful, and that house is quite stunning. Waiting to see what's in store in the next eps - I wish Netflix had dropped it all at once- I'd have binged it for sure, so good for my sleep schedule, I suppose!

Episode 1 has hooked me. I love everything: the quirky damaged family, the scammers, and the magnificent house. Of course the house gives shades of Parasite, but the house in this drama is even more amazing. And Jang Ki-yong... He's giving me small flashes of his character in My Mister, although his back story is going to be very different and he's not abusive in this, just pitiful. I'm definitely in for this drama. It's perfect for what I've been needing from a k-drama.

I wasn't interested or excited about this show to begin with but I put it on anyway "just cause" and it didn't draw me in at all.

Just visually, nothing appeals to me (especially the fat costume & make up which reminds me of Big Momma' House). I wonder if that is the same actress I've seen wear fat make up before (but I can't remember the series. I remember it was a sageuk, involved secret admirer letters, and a scene on the water. Her character fell in the water and was saved by someone of a lower social class (I think) and she or her court ladies berated him for touching her or something)

So glad I picked this up. You had me at "fantasy romance".😊♥️

Not a fan of the fat suit, but I daresay it'll go soon, given Claudia Kim's career (modelling, as well as a number of reasonably significant roles in both Korean and international series and movies, including Avengers, Fantastic Beasts and Marco Polo). Other than that, I liked these first two episodes quite a lot. I've gotten a lot more ruthless about pulling the plug on a show I have to force myself to watch, but I watched both episodes in one sitting and my interest never wavered.

I believe i´m slow witted, because after ep 1, some netz saying to drop this drama,because of the money hunting scammer,while Gwijoo is depressed and his pityfull daughter.
And many complained about fat shaming , because i didn´t notice the resembled family, were scammers i rewatched it three times.
I hope nobody shoots me, but i like it very much. Hoping they discover the scamming, and justice is served .
