the ending surprised me in the way that they didn't have granma be nice to the family but only to the kids. that's what you call a principle!!! whoah! 

 

Yea, she stayed true to being a witch herself until the very end.

I'm slowly watching Ep 19. Joo Won's mom is the worst. Ra Im's roommate and her boyfriend are the best! And Oska is definitely a favorite now. I really didn't like him in the beginning of the drama, and didn't believe it when people said he stole the show. But he's an amazing character, supportive all around to cousin and to new friend Ra Im. I like it when he gets all blustery about whatever.

 

I don't even notice the haircut because of all of his bad fashion, though.

 

 

Did everyone else finish the show?

quoted for truth.

 

i hated all other couples. to the end i didn't understand what the fuss of this drama was about (apart from some iconic moments and OST). i think oska suited better with han tae san! 

 

oska to til the end is just meh for me, because here was this over-the-hill star but still quite acted like a kid. i enjoyed his moments opposite LJS, however.

Oska did steal the show chingu. I liked him the most the first time I watched the drama - still do.

He grows on you. Except if you're @agenth

I'm sorryyyyyyyyy

 

I tried...

 

 

 

I even got over the terrible first episode (terrible cinematography, especially during the action scene). But I appreciate the rewatch. It was fun watching with others and discussing. I'm still sort of in a drama slump, though Dr. Cha is still nice enough...

Chingu, we need to have you host an event where you do a spotlight on all the characters you have ACTUALLY liked in kdramas through the years. I am guessing it will be 10 in total.

 

I can also already predict who they are:

 

Spoiler

Character 1 (Ji Chang Wook in Healer)

'

 

Character 2 (Ji Chang Wook in If You Wish Upon Me)

 

Character 3 (Ji Chang Wook in Sound of Magic)

 

Character 4 (Ji Chang Wook in LITC ) @LeftCoastOppa agrees

 

Character 5 (Ji Chang Wook in Backstreet Rookie)

 

Character 6 (Ji Chang Wook in Melting Me Softly)

 

Character 7 (Ji Chang Wook in K2) - hello abs @Ameera Ali

 

Character (Ji Chang Wook in Suspicious Partner)

 

Character 9 (Ji Chang Wook in Empress Ki)

 

Character 10 (Ji Chang Wook in Five Fingers) - not sure why only 5, and not 10

 

As bonus:

Spoiler

Character 1 (Kwak Dong Yeon in Gaus Electronics) @sweetroad @rocher22 like him too

 

Character 2 (Choi Jin Hyuk in Tunnel) @Lmangla sweetie's favorite

 

PS. I think we can all agree, that when we see pics of 10 of Ji Chang Wook oppa's dramas that he is DEFINITELY a forehead oppa.

Too much leopard print for your liking, twin?  
 

@Ameera Ali

Guess you stay away from National Geographic documentaries about African savannas?

guys..

 

I finished off the drama a few weeks ago. But didn't really have much time to drop by the event thread!!

 

Speaking about the drama, I really didn't enjoy the soul-switching plot in earlier episodes. But then it's become so emotional towards the end of the series. The scene which their souls switched back while Joo Won was on the elevator was a dramatic scene. I was worried about him so much! Finally, we hear the dark past of Joo Won. So he developed claustrophobia right after Ra Im's father's accident, right? I cried every time she cried! Why she has to cry this much...?? Feel so sorry for her.

 

I really enjoyed the drama so far. Looking forward to comment on the finale episodes.

I just completed ep 19 and I had forgotten how nasty the MIL was until the very end trying to deceive the amnesiac Joo Won about Gil Ra Im.

 

So glad that he finally stood up for himself and for Ra Im at the end of ep 19.

 

EDIT:

Finished the drama!

 

We got a happy ending minus the MIL.

 

I really miss these types of dramas where we get a full episode of happiness and fluff and a time skip. Nowadays dramas don't anymore incorporate weddings and babies, and I do think it's a shame. I loved the last episode - everything was neatly wrapped up.

I didn't finish it, life got really busy and I have not been able to watch any K-drama since this... Hopefully soon again.
