You know it's a good drama when you feel that it's hard to say goodbye.
One more episode left tomorrow, but pretty much sure it will be good. This show feels a little more toned down as compared to the other flower boy dramas in the series, probably because its main character have been hiding her whole life, but it's my favourite out of the three, perhaps because I can identify and empathize with the characters. The flower boy element isn't as stark as in the other two, since this is pretty much Flower Boy Enrique VS The Sad / Dull / Quiet block across the road. Shut Up! Flower Boy Band was a little dark and a bit too violent for my liking and Ramen Shop... too comical for me to take it srsly. Can't say much because I didn't finish that one.
This plot though, is so sound that not a single thread is left un-tidied. Kudos to good writer. And this is one drama where I won't be accused of being biased to the first male lead, because he is obviously god-sent for our dear damsel in distress. I loved Kim Ji Hoon in Golden Era of Daughters in-law (quite ancient), but not here. His character is the kind that gets on my nerves. Wallowing in misery doesn't get any better just because you have someone else to do it together with you. And if there was one thing that I didn't like, it would be the cliffhangers at the end of every episode (who likes cliffhangers anyway?) which turn out to be reversals... The end of the episode shows you something negative or shocking and leaves you at the edge, but it gets predictable so you know it's a trick, but the frustration is still there.... yeah. I'm blabbering.
I adored Jang Geun Seuk together with Park Shin Hye, but Yoon Si Yoon tugs on my heartstrings.
Enrique and Go Dok Mi are going into my bag of characters that I will never forget.
[spoiler alert]
