Rodolfo Glenton Jul 07 2025 9:14 am A vivid and powerful example of the use of the pathetic in K-Drama, coupled with that ironclad bizarre justification of the bad - and sometimes even criminal - behavior of parents (father and mother) with their sons. The latter is a constant I have found in the vast majority of K-Drama, framed in the modern era (XX and XXI centuries). I find it hard to think that this is indeed a real expression of South Korean society. The dignity of the sons is trampled upon, with no respect for their own life choices. And not infrequently, the story, the script, and the roles/behaviors of the characters - as in the case of this series - have to conform to however they can to funnel the viewer into that justification. I couldn't finish watching it, because of how hurtful and disrespectful it was to the sons and their lives.
Park Min Sep 03 2022 8:42 pm It was already appalling, underwhelming and plain bad but the last 4 episodes are just atrocious with the appearance of Kim Tae Hee.
The cartoonish sound effects were pure cringe. This tedious abhorrent nonsensical love triangle just made it x10 worse. The writer must be 14 or going through an emo phase or both. If you had to watch it, take a shot every time a character says "Tae Hee".
Eskimo Jan 18 2021 8:43 am Back when all of Lee Dong Wook's dramas flopped lol.. But nice to see how far he's come.
Alexey Oct 17 2020 9:42 am This drama is super slow. But when it should be slower, it goes fast. Its messed up. I like some moments tho, they look kind of wholesome and balanced, but sometimes it's just too slow and boring. Nothing is pretty much going on.
Angela Jan 31 2020 8:46 am Just started watching this and had to ask. Anyone please, who's the actor playing Kim Seogu(hongbin's game developer) because I strongly think I saw him somewhere but don't know the actor's name. Anyone please help!!!
Rety Mar 01 2019 8:38 pm Watching this many questions in my mind . The writer should tell more the unexplained story. The actor really did good job.
Led Feb 10 2019 6:40 am This drama has a lot of flaws with its plot and script. Too many things were unexplained and the director/writer left the audience to assume everything that's supposed to be the key point of the story. They diverted so much from the main plot that the title of this drama wasn't justified. It was frustrating last 2014 that's why I didn't finish watching it.
However, I finally did recently and just enjoyed it for what it is. Lee Dong Wook and Shin Se Kyung's acting were consistent and I loved their chemistry. The supporting characters were also good and nice. There were a lot of funny and sweet moments, as well as sad ones. I specifically like every moment where LDW asks for hugs. Secretary Ko is also seriously amazing!
Dsprt May 10 2018 1:51 am Many things to say about the drama. Lee Dong Wook, as usual, brought up the character of the role with a good acting skill. Still, I found no chemistry between the leads. I must say Shin Se Kyung didn't perform quite well for the role. She was so plain. And the story itself... The existence of blades here is so irrelevant. The flying power is so ridiculous especially at the ending. Rationally thinking, they flied so high, but they were still able to breath even without oxygen? I am wondering if LDW had the same thought as me when he shot the drama lol. I don't get it why Hong Bin clung to Se Dong so much as I found no crucial point of them for having a strong feeling towards each other. I mean, why? What did Se Dong do to Hong Bin that he loved her so much? When Tae Hee appeared, it started to get even more boring. The hide-and-seek thing happened repeatedly and going nowhere I guess. The only reason I finished the drama is because I love the story where the main male lead aggressively chases the love of his life. That's it. Oh! And also the funny moments of Secretary Ko hahaha
saadah Mar 08 2018 1:06 am soo......handsome.
Lololol May 15 2017 10:09 am What is the name if Secretary Ko's girlfriend in real life?
eNoppAa Feb 27 2017 1:02 pm I finally found the game !
If you want to try it, search : "LINE Get Rich".
Hope it helps ! :)
Sam Feb 20 2017 12:03 am @Khuristine Totally agree with u ... It's my cup of tea. Laughing at this like there's no tomorrow.
Khuristine Feb 19 2017 8:57 pm I wonder why many didn't watch this and so as the ratings is the proof. I quite like the plot, totally got mixed emotions upon watching this. Laugh then cry, love then hate, resented the villain but learn to forgive their ways. Maybe it's the blade that caused the failure of ratings. But only if u don't focus on that flaw, u guys will surely like it. Uri Wookie oppa did an amazing job in here. He surely is great in whatever role he portrays. His eyes says it all. As for the female lead, she has so many bashers long before she accepted this role. I think it's because of the drama "When a Man Falls" where she also played the female lead. But everyone deserves a second chance right? Try watching this one and you will love her character in this. She didn't cry that much in every sad scene yet her eyes ~ you can see the pain in her eyes. I mean crying with tears is not necessary all the time to convey someone's emotion. This is what exactly "Eyes are the windows to the soul" is. So please to those who haven't watch this yet, just give it shot. The secretary is sooo funny and Chang is sooo cute too. I so love those "ANAJWO, PPALLI" (HUG ME, QUICKLY) scene. Cuteness overload of Dong Wook oppa. Hwaiting.
bbh Dec 15 2016 7:22 pm funny drama, quite cute and all. the blades were very fake but nonetheless, lee dongwook is amazing.
Star Wars Fan Nov 25 2016 3:48 am This drama was originally scheduled to be 20 episodes, but the ratings were not that good, and it appears the producers, etc. decided to end it at 18 episodes, so at the end of the drama, some things were left untold. RE: Butler Yoon, etc.
The producers should have finished the last 2 episodes to finish it up correctly.
Regz Sep 26 2016 9:13 am The blades are somewhat irrelevant....but nevertheless a must watch kdrama....the scenes are great especially with the leads.... they're super cute with all the hugs.... the chosen actors did well..... lee dong wook u made me amaze everytime im watching ur kdramas.....such a great actor...... good job oppa...... im here to suport you anytime.... waiting for goblin......
Angel Zhou Jun 08 2016 10:16 am I could say this is a very funny drama. :)))) The plot is ok even if the blades and superpowers are actually not that significant and a bit irrelevant to the story. Putting aside the fact that the heroine is the only one who could calm the hero and hide the blades, this is a common love story in kdrama :)) But still, the executions are distinctive enough, great, and worth watching. Even they had funny taste in their saddest moments, that makes this drama unique. Well, I like it more if it has side stories from the very beginning, not only in the last 2 eps (SeungHwan-Doctor, Secretary Go-beautiful lady, and Chang-little girl). And moreover, somethings are left unexplained. Like why Buttler Yoon did such things, what is the significance of some parts, etc). I expect all explanations at the end, but yeah there was none. BUT STILL, it's greattttt to watch, yeahhh because it's Lee DongWook and Shin SeKyung everyone!!! They reaaaally owned the characters. Love the pairing (and the acting) so much!! ENJOY <3
Denize Apr 28 2016 4:08 pm I mean turning to a monster or a hero is up to you and your choice , anger and malice make him a monster but peace makes him a hero
Denize Apr 28 2016 4:05 pm I don't know why it is unclear the purpose of blades? in the earlier episodes when they were in Goorae you can observe he was struggling to carry the pepper bag , was slower than SSD but when he get angry he become stronger ,faster ,has super power and blades that hurt him in the first place and the one he love the most . but as the drama goes on and he start to understand his dad ,learn how to act as real father and real BF thanks to SSD . only then he managed to control his anger ,he kept his super power that allow him to help other but without painfull blades it was an awesome plot and superior acting skills from Lee Dong Wook but I admit it can be better and the end was rushed
Kira Apr 13 2016 2:53 pm Well, actually the story plot was good, the cast was well-chosen, main actress and actor had chemistry as well. I just watched it because of Lee Dong Wook...his acting was especially cool in that drama and different from other dramas where he played as well. And I liked the couple Dong Wook and Se-Kyung. They really should have left out the "blade coming out of his body combined with him having superman power" of the story. Just because he has got a Hulk action figure in his room doesn´t mean he is Hulk right? Didn´t fit at all and ruined the drama a bit. I always imagined that he was dreaming at all the scenes when these blades come out of his body when he gets angry why I still was able to enjoy the story as I liked the couple Se-Kyung and Dong Wook a lot. The ending could have been better but it´s still okay.
Well wouldn´t say it´s worth seeing it but still okay to kill some time.
Il Mar 16 2016 1:48 pm I really like the plot. I liked the drama bit ir was weird and it looked it was rushed. It could have been developed but Ssk u go girl. I really didn't like her on When a mab loved but girl you are getting better. Secretary Ko was the best chracter on this whole drama. Like I said it could have been made better but the plot was awesome
Hana Dec 06 2015 10:42 am @Saerra u said exactly what i wanna too ^-^.. Plus,the whole thing about blades coming out when he gets angry was already damn ridiculous i mean,can't the writer at least elaborate a little bit more on how the hell did Joo Hong Bin ended up in such situation at the first place? To me,that's the biggest story flaw among the other flaws in this drama
Aigoo aigoo Sep 26 2015 2:03 pm I loved the weirdness of this drama. The thing that pulled off such an outrageous story was the cast. Man the leads were good. Only lee dong shi could have pull off such a role. I loved him. And the chemistry was really good, all those hugs
tini Jul 15 2015 11:48 pm i very enjoyed every episodes of this drama and i m not feel bored event it to slowly because every episode always made me laugh (esp. secretary ko, he is so funny), make me smile, tighten and cry. Lee Dong Wook oppa still best actor, his act is so great..i love u oppa. SSD, I can enjoyed her act too...but actually i cannot really get theirs couple chemistry..event i know they had try theirs best.. i more feel chemistry between LDW oppa and chang as father n son..their so cute together... i give 8 to this drama.. it has different story from another drama. and i love the OST too
bimil Jul 12 2015 8:41 am boring.
um Jun 14 2015 2:47 am tbh ssk's "uwa~" is a bit annoying
Saerra Jun 14 2015 12:13 am The ending of this drama is so ridiculous.. After trying to phisically hurt SSD,How can Butler Yoon just...escape just like that i mean...,isn't she at least undergo a community service ?? And on their wedding,JHB all of the sudden flies to the sky with SSD in his arm i mean..,SSD might probably know his secrets tho i don't really sure but what about everyone else watching? They seem happy without feeling even a little fears of what just they see.. This is not Doraemon,okay
Aj Jun 08 2015 8:34 am This is a good series: sweet, funny, magical, and touching. Both the leads shine, backed by a strong supporting cast, direction, and writing. However, though okay, the ending could have been much better focused and stronger. Such a good concept deserved better. But otherwise, I enjoyed this one very much.
beterdk May 19 2015 2:14 am awesome drama .. love the actors and their acting especially Lee Dong-Wook. he is amazing!
Kate Apr 18 2015 11:06 pm Very shallow drama.. I enjoyed it from ep 1-10 but started to get boring and somewhat hateful aproaching for the finale.. Too much draggy going on but need to say LDW acting just like always was the best(probably the best thing to talk about on BM) & SSK,she did good enough and i don't think she deserves all this bad comments on her acting since she still got a lot to learn and improve.. I had always thought that if the scriptwriter does his best,BM could probably turned out to be one of the most interesting and also the best dramas of 2014(just saying)...
AnneBS Mar 31 2015 10:36 am Lee dong wook acting is one of the best but i think Shin se kyung acting needs improvement. I finally stop watching at ep.5. Whoah! When she cries, its irritating. :/
akin Mar 21 2015 12:01 pm not a very good drama..i think shin se kyung needs to improve a lot in the acting zone..i saw 3 of her dramas ..fashion king,when man loves and this and she is really unable to act..she looks very uncomfortable and the same expressions of sombre mood,sad and innocent face..i think she is one of the most robotic actors
blank Mar 19 2015 9:14 pm What's wrong with these ppl lol... Its right to give an opinion,critics to an actor but you guys need to know the line between criticize and badmouthing... I think ssk acting is good enough dunno for some ppl that badmouthing her are you guys jealous with her beauty? Or her chance to act cute with ur fav male actors? Lol get real... Bfr you say something so bad its better to see yourself... Are you guys good enough to play on a drama? Can you act perfect enough to make all ppl in the world love you? Imagine that you've tried ur best and then seeing all those bad even some cursing comments on the net lol... Its not that easy to be an actor...
ria Mar 13 2015 5:29 am this drama lacks substance.starts off well but does put off with no relevance.shouldnt the title blade man bring some heroic sense in it and the ending quite unsatisfactory.that butler yoon walks away just like that .., really?? unimpressed....
nics018frver Mar 03 2015 8:04 am Love this movie a lot!!
joly Feb 20 2015 5:05 pm if you watched HK and gonna watch BM , you will see completely different person you proved you are versatile actor Wookie
sa Feb 17 2015 11:44 pm Love LDW but seriously talking i m kinda sick of SSK role... her roles r no diff in each drama with the stare n the innocent face she put up eps her lips.
Really hoping LDW will do afew really good drama with better,younger n prettier actress this year....waiting
elllzz Jan 25 2015 6:15 am Actually...this drama is really interesting at first...but ..when u keep watching it..the story just really long and become bored...i finished this drama juz bcoz of lee dong wook ..huhu..
Mandy Jan 12 2015 5:17 pm Actually it is really interesting. This show contains humour and it is ridiculously funny. I especially love Chang! He is so adorable^^
janice Jan 11 2015 12:02 pm What a waste of Lee Dong Wook's talents
denise Jan 10 2015 3:17 pm wookie's acting here was awesome . I'll never forget his eye at ep. 7 when SSK told him she likes him
farah Dec 31 2014 6:28 pm I stopped watch it at last two episode because its little boring and I continue it a week after. shin se kyung need learn acting more. and tae hee, she get hurt and almost get killed in the past when pregnant. and when the dead is in front of her, she is broken heart. from the story, she is must be the first female lead. too poor. the sad part of se dong and Hong bin not really touched. honestly, I will change the channel if there is another drama at the same time.
Rocelyn Dec 23 2014 8:04 pm The drama is pretty good. I love the comedy with a little touch of twist... i never knew tae hee still alive... Se Dong and Tae hee so pretty and lovable .. I love their kind and sweet character .. Hong Bin makes me smile, cry and fall in love in this drama... Chang is very cute and adorable.. Kudos to Mr. Lee Dong Wook and cast. Also to director and writer!!!
Kristine Dec 20 2014 7:49 pm Lee Dong wook is really good whatever role he portrayed. Regardless of the storyline... He was able to carry on the drama... Love it.. Everything is great!!! Must watch!! The story is a masterpiece to stir imaginations. It's not necessary to tell it all.. So spoilers stop being elementary. The cast is good. Excellent writers and shin se kyung. You did a great job. World class drama. Keep up the good work.:) #BIG FAN
Jaemin Dec 18 2014 12:32 pm This drama disappoints me in an emotional way. Lee Dong Wook is one of my favorite male actors and he did not choose the right drama to demonstrate his acting ability. There are two reasons why this show ends up on the bottom of my list: the writers and Shin Se Kyung. I do not enjoy Shin Se Kyung's acting at all. She ends up destroying any piece of emotion that could be held in a romantic scenario.
tto Dec 10 2014 7:40 pm Too perfect...♡♡♡
f310 Dec 09 2014 6:18 pm the bride in the last ep. what is her name? the actress
abc Dec 09 2014 12:23 am That’s what I thought, this drama is nice and beautiful! Not able to explain the beauty of it, should see it yourself. I really enjoyed it! It's worth watching and wish it had more than 18 eps...
Kay Dec 08 2014 4:24 pm This drama is really good. I really enjoy watching it. It's touchy, funny, sweet, but a bit bitter. And Chang is really adorable!! The storyline and acting are great also.
may Dec 05 2014 6:26 am E I know what you feel , KTH was portrayed as week person who though knew about HB blades , she never tried to fix this thing as SSD did , she was always afraid to confront the father, she run away leaving HB behind , she even sent her child away but at the same time couldn't able to act martyr character to the end , till the end she didn't want to fight for her rights and seeking justice , same as her father who once told HB to forgave his father and forget about the past and KTH even forgave HB's father who lost all his money that he wasted his life gaining , and regarding buttler yoon it was implied that she was the one who sent her to the hospital back then and she lost the house she treasured and the man she is obsessed with .
E. Dec 03 2014 7:58 am Seriously the writers of this Horrible drama should be ashamed of themselves! I wonder if they were doing Crack while they were writing it?
dera Mohmoud Dec 01 2014 7:19 am Its really amazing I feel so much happy that I watch it
Deda Sab Dec 01 2014 2:50 am I only watched this drama for LDW , I love him, and also the title and the story sounded interesting however, I am disappointed. I just finished watching it yesterday and the story lacks a lot and the reason was not deducting 2 episodes at all. the story is filled with unnecessary scenes to the extant that some episodes did not add anything to the main plot at all. the story had many potentials with the powers that LDW has, yet the writer decided to throw all of the important things that can happen and concentrate, rather poorly, on the relation ship between the two main leads and Chang's mother. I am not saying that it was a complete failure but it could be way better if it was designed from the beginning to be 16 episodes, so there would be a concentration on the main plot instead of leaving loose ends while filling the drama with unnecessary scenes.
Jovel Nov 29 2014 8:49 pm One Of The Best Korean Drama's I' ve Ever Watched . <3
may Nov 29 2014 11:53 am Rida He gots the blades and the superpower coz of obbression he went through when he was kid and inferiority complex he suffered .it is fantasy ;) but it was up to him whether to be a monster and hurt his beloved or a superhero who save people .so once he matured and realised he is not the only one who suffered thanks to SSD , blades go away but he kept his supperpower
Rida Nov 28 2014 4:01 am I didn't really get the plot of the story there's so many holes in the ending like I don't get how he got the power and the flying thing
Rene Simpson Nov 24 2014 1:59 pm This is just the strangest sweetest k-drama, More people should see it. Well written, acted and directed. Not a whole lot of unneeded makjong. Great!!!
rio Nov 24 2014 2:40 am I am very enjoy watching this drama but it is very unfortunate cut 2 eps :(
ash379 Nov 20 2014 7:10 pm I love this drama. Lee Dong Wook totally awesome in this drama. I practically cry and laugh watching this drama. I still choose this drama over my lovable girl. For me this drama story plot is more interesting and enjoyable to watch compare to MLG. I'm gonna miss Lee Dong Wook! Hopefully he come back with new drama in early 2015!! Lee Dong Wook oppa, fighting!!
qaireen Nov 20 2014 10:33 am HB should practice polygamy, as long as both girls agreed of course XD
Dieu My Nov 19 2014 11:19 pm Many people do not like her character when played by Seo Mi Do, and also a lot of people like her to play the character Son Se Dong. That shows she is the perfect role. Well done! Shin Se Kyung is a great actress! why do you not understand ? Remember the characters and actress are different.
When you watch a new drama, you have to make yourself empty to receive.
To me, I like her character Son Se Dong. Because this character suits her. Lee Dong Wook and Shin Se Kyung acted excellent, they convey the inner character very well: D Their eyes are acting so great., soul of eyes! Love this.
Hugs are so comforting and I am loving that they made it a big part of this drama. Hugs to heal the hurt ♥
Loo Nov 19 2014 3:31 pm Can't pass episode 9 because of SSH. Her acting is terrible. It would be another big hit for LDW if the producer use some other lead females.
Metty Nov 19 2014 12:27 am To me, what I remember the most from this drama is the superb take of the scenes' angle (if you know photography, you'll understand what I mean). It's a work of art! The acting was great too. Many scenes only depicted the actor/actress acting with their body language (no lines required) and they were performed very well. This is a Korean drama made with Hollywood/international taste. Wonderful!
albalicious Nov 18 2014 9:20 pm Feel good drama. all's well that ends well. Its good to see Lee Dong Wook having a yearly drama series with KBS. Hope it becomes a habit, they must really like his working attitude. LDW is not afraid to try on new roles, good for him! LDW and SSH were perfect for the roles. Hope KBS gives him another interesting drama that will challenge him and hopefully will have high ratings. Good Luck LDW!
boo Nov 18 2014 12:18 am Finally.. they fly to the Moooooon..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, !!
Sakura Nov 17 2014 2:08 pm The drama is nice Specially son se dong it feel she like "candy candy" old cartoon girl character full strong and warm kind heart and the story is nice and interesting to watch because all characters in this drama are have their own interesting character.
rose Nov 17 2014 2:03 pm In love with this drama , hope to see Lee Dong Wook soon in new drama.
xyz Nov 17 2014 2:25 am I’ve got to say that despite its quirkiness and flaws, I found Blade Man is a beautiful drama. I don’t normally find K-dramas with a slow pace interesting but here, they made it just so beautifully. The casts are great, love all the characters in this show. Awesome chemistry between the main leads (LDW & SSK) whom I have never seen their respective performance before. Sec Ko is absolutely adorable and Chang…what a cutie! It’s worth watching!! Yes, love to have a sequel for this :)
ghie Nov 16 2014 7:46 pm now i understand why its only 18 eps when supposedly its 20episodes.. this was a good korean show and fun to watch.though many things were unanswered due to cutting of 2 episodes,i hope there will be another season for this.
ANNI Nov 16 2014 7:41 pm Congrats to all for producing this unique drama. a childish inside but as an adult I enjoy watching. likes HB & SSD on off r/ship so funny..countryside view is breathtaking..
DY Nov 16 2014 2:20 am this show its suck
Rese Nov 15 2014 11:12 pm Please have a second season! I love this show!
M Nov 15 2014 12:30 pm Sad... :( it's like separation anxiety... They cut 2 episodes because of the sport program or something like that and King's Face is due to broadcast next week so they cut 2 episodes... :(
and yes... this drama is beautiful and yet there are so many unanswered questions... when i was watching the last episode, i was silently praying that they would make a 2nd season for this drama. Because I swear, there are so many things that could still happen. They could write an entire 20 more episodes as a continuation. These are some of my hanging question... - Why Se dong keeps on passing out? (so it's just normal?) - What happened to the blades? so it's gone now since Hong Bin no longer feel hatred? or he got the full control of his power? - What happened to the guy who captured/kidnapped Tae Hee? Until the very end, Hong Bin did not found out that the guy was the real culprit together with the head house maid. -And the head house maid, there's something really really mysterious about her that i just could not put a finger on.
and i could go on and on and on.... i really hope they would make a sequel or Season 2 since they cut it short. I miss Lee Dong Wook. He said he will rest for Nov and Dec so maybe he'll be back early next year (sigh). Separation anxiety :(
Dianne Nov 14 2014 2:42 pm Lee Dong Wook never disappoints me. He just has a way of drawing his audience into his characters! Fantastic performance! Most of the other cast members had memorable performances, too! Jung Yoo-Geun who played Chang, Hong Bin's son, was amazing for a child actor! The musical soundtrack was so beautiful... I laughed and cried and loved it! The ending caught me by surprise, but I thought it was a happy and fitting end to this quirky drama ;)
What I don't agree with are the ratings this drama received from the local viewers!!!??? I've never seen a drama rated this low. What happened? Makes no sense. Maybe they bailed out after seeing the really weird first couple of episodes (not a standard Lee Dong Wook drama). If they did bail out of it, they missed a terrific melodrama... Maybe they will reconsider and watch it online like the rest of the world does ;)
barbara Nov 14 2014 12:57 pm This drama was awesome
andreea Nov 14 2014 11:52 am Definitely deserves higher rating. It was so beautiful. I loved watching this show, but why cut 2 episodes?? this drama was ended too soon .
reyrey Nov 13 2014 11:03 pm who play the role of tae hee friend? (she play girl doctor role , the one that married sung hwan)
hebz Nov 13 2014 8:06 pm I don't understand why the low ratings.. I loved watching this drama, waited for it every week.
Effa Nov 13 2014 5:40 pm Btw im from Malaysia and already watch the last episode at KBSW yesterday.
Effa Nov 13 2014 5:28 pm Is it really the last episode yesterday?? i thought it would be a very happy ending drama, but then i have many thoughts of whats happening when Hongbin saved Taehui and Sedong fainted. Does it really ended that way without any justification?
M Nov 13 2014 1:28 pm I totally agree with Nills, too. Like i've mentioned in my previous comments, Se Dong can move me into tears at the same time has an amazing charm. She's really good in portraying Se Dongs' character. :)
druidsdream Nov 12 2014 10:43 pm Meant to say thank god they didn't add amnesia to the plot!
druidsdream Nov 12 2014 10:41 pm Why cut by 2 episodes??? I loved the show except how the writers always have to resurrect the dead. Enuff was happening without that. Thank god they didn't have the pot! All in all I loved the show.
Lee Sruti Nov 12 2014 3:29 pm This is a really wonderfully organized drama. Amazing actors. Hong Bin's expressions and mannerisms really bring life to the character. This has certainly captured the attention of the Trinidadian viewers.
kitty Nov 10 2014 11:07 pm yes, I think so, Nills. Shin Se Kyung is beautiful, so young and talented. "the eyes are the soul", she performed very well. Best actress 2013 MBC deserve her.
Nills Nov 09 2014 5:30 pm actually for those who are commeenting about Shin Se Kyung a.k.a. Se dong,,,doesnt reallly fully understand what is really acting is...actinng is not only with a facial expressions, she been crtisezd for her bad acting..but if you focused on her "eyes" you can fully undestand what I mean,there are actors and actress who are brilliant in eyes expressions way of acting,if you know how to read there eye expression..they dont need to over use words or facial emotions. eyes is one of the most important way of communication...and Shin Se Kyung is great with that expressions.I have seen most of her drama..I got curious when I read about her critizism from the viewers..just my obsevation.
gdn Nov 06 2014 1:41 am eps 16 is postponed to Thursday (06 Nov) due to baseball game on Wednesday (05 Nov)
Sunny Nov 06 2014 1:03 am Who knows why 16th episode hasn't been released this week?
kebaek Nov 05 2014 8:47 pm Why is ep 16 not out today?
Ave Nov 05 2014 7:56 pm All of the actors are good enough to mention secretary ko the father all of them are good, they have a strong storyline and the acting are really good. Hopefully korean viewers appreciate their effort
M Nov 05 2014 12:35 pm 5 more episodes :( it's coming to an end soon and seems i can't get enough of this drama. Hope there will be an extension...
Dong Wook oppa, i know you are tired with your back to back drama but it seems that my week won't be the same with out seeing you a tleast twice a week in the small screen. Hope you get another good drama soon.
Blade man fighting! Till the last episode! :)
Bee Nov 02 2014 1:02 pm I'm so much in love with this drama, waiting for each new epi, counting minutes, when it will finally air. I agree with lots of you, that drama is much more, then blades coming from his back. It has one of the most epic loveline I ever seen in dramas, even movies. Hong Bin and Se Dond match so greatly and the acting of both actors is awesome. I also like sence with Hong Bin's secretary and his son. With Mr.Go they're funnt, and with son they're so touching. Of course, LDW is the best in this drama. He's gorgeous. I believe in every word, look, tear. I wish him a new project which will be even better than this one!
Jezji Nov 02 2014 11:29 am Why it has only 20 episodes? I want more :( Will it have a season 2 or it will end in episode 20? ._.
Madefako Nov 01 2014 4:50 am For those who want to watch this drama,the storyline is good and unique. Not another typical kdrama.It's just that Shin Se Kyung have really bad acting,lack of multiple emotion and such.She is like 'Kristen Stewart' of korean
M Oct 31 2014 2:37 pm Really really really love this drama! Se dongs' acting is really good and can put me into tears... Hong Bin and Se Dong, for me are really good actors and they do have chemistry. The plot and story are not predictable. The soundtracks used are also great... it puts up the right atmosphere perfectly in every scenario.
Hope you guys would give it a try... It's not over rated trust me (like Lovable girl, which i stopped watching a long time ago). Sure, blades coming out from Dong wook body is over the top but that's not all this drama is about, there're so much more to it... Watch it and you'll find out what I'm talking about :)
Blade Man is one of the best dramas i've watched so far :)
Kristine Oct 31 2014 12:54 am Can someone tell me the title of the instrumental song being played in the last part of episode 14? It’s too hard to look for it. Tried google, youtube, etc. Thanks!
aini Oct 30 2014 9:26 pm love n more love for this drama.. good story line, well done HB & SSD
thanhnguyen Oct 29 2014 8:10 pm @MJang: the story is only begin .....you must have to watch the next and the next... you will see..... :D come on,,,,Don't miss it! Good luck!
this drama has humanism... a childrens story for adults! I like it so much!
wanie sshi Oct 29 2014 8:51 am " Hug me, quickly " !! Huhu ~~
Love this drama :) Oppa aja aja fighting !
MJang Oct 29 2014 8:13 am I can't continue to watch this drama aft ep1 even I love LDW.. This drama is so wired.. Am i the only one think LDW & SSK don't have chemistry at all.. I hope LDW get another good drama, possible funny & cute role...all his roles are too serious.. I want him to act in cute & care free role though.. Just stating my point of view...:) LDW fighting!!!
kitty Oct 29 2014 4:23 am smile...laughter...and cry.....!!!
This drama is humorous, tragedy....it is interested in me! the actors and actress play the charaters very well. Hugs heal the hurts... I like that they do that in this drama.
"Hug me, quickly" !
Like this drama... the next ep...!
kay Oct 28 2014 11:45 pm The ratings here are indeed low. Perhaps one of the reasons may be as to what I have been making me unenthusiastic to watch too i.e. the childish title of the drama and weirdness of blades sticking out of a man. The Writer/Director may have wanted to have something like superman or spiderman but the promotion and introduction of this drama was unable to flow in that direction. Furthermore the very thought of Shin Se Kyung (nothing personal) as lead actress put me off too. Even Lee Dong Wook who is one of my favourite actors cannot persuade me to start watching this drama. Hopefully I will change my mind one day though.
thanhnguyen Oct 28 2014 8:53 pm I have to say the chemistry between Le Dong Wook and Shin Se Kyung is palpable and brings life into Le Dong Wook. They are explosive on screen and just feed so well off each other on screen that I can't get enough.
I love Son Se-Dong. She's cute, oblivious, driven, passionate, and of course loving and self-less. You'd have to be a moron not to love her and find her utterly cute. SSK just brings this character to life. The boys seemed to be more so her children than younger brother-like. And she just cares. You would never lose with SSD in your life and SSK must have that in her to convey her so well on screen. Working with LDW is great. Even without this show ending, want them already pegged for another drama together. Excellent! We love this drama.
Thanh Nguyen Oct 28 2014 8:45 pm I love, love, love Son Se-Dong. She's cute, oblivious, driven, passionate, and of course loving and self-less. You'd have to be a moron not to love her and find her utterly cute. Shin Se Kyung just brings this character to life. You would never lose with Son Se Dong in your life and Shin Se Kyung must have that in her to convey her so well on screen. Working with Le Dong Wook is great.

rabea Oct 28 2014 6:43 pm Pffft Shin Se-kyung is so bad at acting :/
Stacy Oct 27 2014 10:40 am I like this drama so much. For sure I will watch it one more time, or even twice. For me the romantic line is so perfectly done. I was sure that Lee Dong Wook will fit in any role. But I was so surprised how really perfect he is in this completely different role (if to compare with his others). I'm so freaking in love with Hon Bin's manners and his "Hug me". I'm really surprised by acting skills of Se Kyong. I didn't like her in "When a man loves", but here I like her so much. She's so sunny. And I love their chemistry with Dong Wook. Regarding this iron thing, I hope there will be some more explanation. But it doesn't ruin the whole story. Actors are perfect, so do drama and romance. I regret it has so low ratings. Probably people refused to watch it further after seeing this iron thing. Their problems. And I hope this ratings thing will not have impact on next projects of Lee Dong Wook.
Edic Oct 27 2014 9:03 am The name is called "beautiful" and it's by Eminem
Kdrama fan Oct 26 2014 10:00 pm Overall, not a bad series at all. The title is discouraging, stupid, and does little establish the true intent of the story line. At first, I had no interest. Thought it would be a weird sword fighting flick but it's a romance and I love romance stories. The story line is great and focus on overcoming personal heartache with love I agree the story can do without the corny blades coming from Lee Dong-Wook's shoulder. It serves no purpose. They should have found another way to express his anger over losing his first love. Besides this, it's a good series and can't wait to see the next episode.
Not bad Oct 25 2014 4:54 pm I'm a huge fan of Asian dramas n I can't say this is one of the best but its good and weird, the blades ,the super powers seriously? that wasn't necessary I think the story wud HV been great without those because the storyline was good ,how love can ease heartache and softens even the meanest and scariest pple, in this case at least that's wr I c it going gvn that I hvn't watched it all I can't wait for episode 14 ....
Watch this drama! It's GOOD Oct 25 2014 3:05 am I love Lee Dong-wook, but you guys know what would be WAY BETTER? If Han Jung-soo was the Blade Man!! omg! He's so good in this drama!
Give HAN JUNG-SOO A LEAD ROLE ALREADY!!
Watch this drama! It's GOOD! Oct 25 2014 3:02 am This drama is really good and so much warmth. Shin Se-kyung is not too bad in here, either, unlike When A Man Loves, haha.
I think it has bad ratings because of the name of the drama and the vague description. There's more to this drama than it's name. WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT!
I really recommend it!
potato Oct 24 2014 4:08 am i really dont get why this drama has no ratings...is it really that bad? cuz i think its good haha its not even in top 10?? whyyyy
star Oct 23 2014 1:17 pm not sure with other viewers but i really like this drama so much. yes indeed, the blade thing is kinda weird but the story does not end there. It's just an ingredient to make it more interesting... what i like the most about this drama is, there's a certain warmth in every scene. funny, sad, thrill... on episode 12 now and i really like se dong and hong bin moment.
Se Kyung is not bad as an actor for me. she can show emotions (unlike the female lead in Night Man's journal, ugh! that is no-acting at all. that girl can't even express good emotion and so painful that she can't even shed a TEAR!)
dong wooks' acting is superb as always... :) and the cute child is so adorable. It never disappoints me every episode... i'm really a fan... :)
Shari249 Oct 23 2014 5:49 am to say abt this drama not really, but looking forward to the next episode yes. yes. yes.. i agree i guess im watching this because of lee dong wook, but shin sekyung fits in well, although mayb a bit short hehehe...its juz a nice anime type drama with warm characters. this may not be the best K-drama but its worth waiting to watch the next episode. i guess im gonna find n buy the boxset if our local shot will sell them...
Msknoitall Oct 22 2014 2:22 pm The child actor is just adorable! I am only on ep 7 but this drama premise is very strange. Blades emerging from the man when angered...really? On what planet does that make sense? Good actors but plot is just ridiculously stupid. Kwriters are clearly running out of good material.
M Oct 20 2014 12:50 pm The only drama I'm enjoying so far :) I started watching Modern Farmer too and I think it's hilarious, I totally recommend ;)
Saranghaeyo Lee Dong Wook oppa!
Yanthie Oct 18 2014 10:45 am This drama got low rating because shin se kyung, she such a bad actress and terrible acting. I watch this for lee dong wook, his acting just awesome!!!!!!
Maya Oct 16 2014 1:06 pm I could just watch LDW all day long even if he's doing nothing.. Love Love Love him, oh and his secretary is also a good character, and easy on the eyes too ;)
mila Oct 16 2014 10:09 am This drama really surprised me, I love it!! I wonder why it doesnt have good ratings i mean, ISNT DONGWOOK ENOUGH? just stare at him dont even try to understand whats going on (but if you do, youll be hook I assure you)
Rese Oct 16 2014 4:06 am My children and I LOVE this show! It had me laughing, crying, mad all at the same time. AMAZING!
rara Oct 15 2014 8:42 am OHMYGOD. this drama is reallly good! i alrd had sort of 'thing' for lee dongwook for along time. and now i saw him play with an actress that i rlly like aahhh... /feels over power/
yunmia Oct 13 2014 4:23 pm It's just usual see LDW on before drama, but this drama made me think other think about LDW..HAHAAAA. he is really suit play here..
he funny, maybe because he also funny on roomate.
hxanime Oct 11 2014 11:33 am I personally think that this drama is very cute and enjoyable to watch!!! I definitely recommend.
beatris Oct 10 2014 5:17 pm Ridiculous turning to blade man and bad acting..i stop watch it now.so low ratings also,please LDW next time choose a better one you are great actor yourself
Love My Wookie Oct 09 2014 8:01 am YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS KOREAN DRAMA!!! :) I know it's still on Episode 8 BUT it's somewhat different than the usual Korean Dramas I've seen so far. It has a hint of romantic comedy on the side. I love its feel good drama effect. Makes you want to get to the ending already. Excited much! ;) I'm loving every episode and the latest episode - 8 made me fall in love! Gotta love, love, love Lee Dong Wook!!! He's so cute and dorky! which is quite different from the other roles he played. I also loved how it isn't too heavy on the drama side. Can't wait for the coming episodes!!! Wootwoo!!! :)
Jaejii Oct 07 2014 2:51 pm I don't get why sedong confess to ceo that she likes him. Since when she likes him? I don't feel likeness on them yet. And then kissing, why??
aisa Oct 07 2014 5:58 am Im pilipino avid fan of korean drama,this drama is so beautiful. I admire the attitude of sedong i like her :) and the kid . The personality of the guys is very interesting, i like hes secretary he was fun Its really really nice,wow really wow i can't wait the next episode Good luck guys and keep it up. God always guide you to keep safe all the time,
Jaejii Oct 05 2014 12:37 pm everythings is fine.... except ldw turn to 'blade man', its weird
Yuniloveyumiko Oct 05 2014 7:55 am I,ve been a huge fans of Lee Dong Wook since ages and this Drama is like a Boss showing how crazy he is in a positive way. Love his acting so much! Worth to watch and of course so highly recommended. My days still would be so gloomy while waiting for the episode 8 to come out. Me curious about this and that. This just gonna drive me crazy. Omooo...
Ichigo Oct 04 2014 9:50 am I definitely recommend this drama, lee dong wook is so dorky and amazing in here and shin se kyung fits into this character so well omg and u cant forget the lil adorable yoogeun XD oh and also the bromance between secretary ko and the CEO hahaha its hilarious ^^ cant wait till next ep!!
shadowhite Oct 04 2014 6:59 am If your thinking of watching this drama I recommend you do!! It's absolutely worth it (so far) and I can't wait for episode 8 to come out!! I love the chemistry between Joo Hong-Bin and Son Se-Dong. I don't think that Son Se-Dong has parents and if she does her stories probably going to come soon :) all in all this drama is completely different from the usual dramas that come on and worth the watch!!
likeme Oct 03 2014 10:12 pm It' s be a bit like animation story, but still look natural even not really perfect, and it's surely good just for weekly drama...;D. I want to says...its' earth drama, why...because only earth good to spray by water.... anime think
farhin17 Oct 03 2014 4:19 am Hey guys, as many people are wondering where ep 8 is, well unfortunately it didn't air due to the '2014 Incheon Asian Games' so I think we have t wait one week for ep 8.
K-Drama_Fan Oct 02 2014 11:50 pm What happened to ep. 8? I was dying to find out what happened after how ep. 7 ended.
M Oct 02 2014 1:35 pm love love love ep. 7. Love everything about this drama. Lee Dong Wook is such an amazing actor!
luvtaeminnie Oct 02 2014 10:53 am This drama is really good.......so far I've finished til ep 7 and i totally love it . Lee Dong Wook is a really handsome and good actor and Shin Se Kyung suits the character of cheerful, lively yet kind girl as well as its story line is good Highly Recommended !!!!
smiletere15 Sep 29 2014 10:57 pm yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss........................ :) finally got a new ratings!!!! :) this drama is very beautiful :) lee dong wook is a versatile actor!!! he deservesd a high ratings because he is so good in this drama :0 congratz to all of the stuff of this drama #blademan #ironman :)
rhuyi Sep 28 2014 8:32 am Hi why is the boss such a violent bully and nutcase. So horrible, I thought my boss was horrid but this is beyond imagination. Why doesnt his staff sue him? If me I will make sure he goes to jail for assault.
zenn Sep 27 2014 11:03 pm I really like this drama, so it's part make me a bit sad to seen the rating not yet get even just 10% of...but this drama really recommended story
nanachu Sep 26 2014 1:05 pm Before I want to says that.... I really don't know why this drama don't get high rating..... But Know, I think I know why this drama not yet get a high rating?.... It's because this drama dont have any promoting.... Example, We know Lee Donk Wook has role on ROOMATE, but surely I never ever hear any good news that he'll be play also in blade man
Marchair Sep 25 2014 6:34 pm Love this show. It has a fresh unique voice-- funny and touching at the same time. I like Lee dong wook so much more than in his last show (hotel something). Also the lead gal is so great. I like how she is so kind, but not a pushover. I am watching lots of dramas and this one is right up at the top! Give it a try.
Netizen USA Sep 25 2014 6:45 am I've been mainly familiar with Lee Dong-Wook through Roommate, I knew he had just finished working on Hotel King and had moved on to another project. I was curious about this but had forgotten about it until yesterday when it showed up in my HULU+ Feed.
Shin Seung-Hwan was also in Fashion King with Shin Se-Kyung so I find it refreshing they're working together again!
Kaira Sep 25 2014 5:45 am I didn't like the girl being paired up with LDW because of her acting in "When a man loves", she was horrible. but then i started watching this because of LDW and she wasn't as bad as i thought she'd be. She is actually good! I think the previous drama she acted on just really didn't suit her as the main lead. But guys! give this a shot. It's actually really good and interesting :)
meena Sep 24 2014 10:58 am how come SSK smiles never reach her eyes? To me it looks like she is just grinning, not a genuine smile/laugh from the heart which reaches the eyes.
I like Secretary Ko, he's cute
M Sep 23 2014 8:06 am this drama is what i am looking forward to watch each week after "It's OK, that Love" and "Fated to Love you". I'd been a Lee Dong Wook fan ever since and it's so nice to see him acting flexibly from one drama to another.
This drama is funny at some point and will also put you into tears... I love the female lead though she is too young, her acting is just right for her character.
Totally recommend! :)
jaidee Sep 22 2014 7:19 pm Got to watch this phenomenal drama, Lee dong Wook has a resemblance of Johnny Depp, an American star also acted in Edward Scissorhands. The drama is exciting. The upcoming episodes are worth the wait in the internet. Love to follow the dramas of Lee Dong Wook for his a fine actor and with great acting skills.
kbrylm Sep 22 2014 2:47 pm Watch it! that blade thing might be a bit over the top, but the drama is sooo refeshingly good! ... like a world mixed of kingdom hearts, the movie "I'm a cyborg but that's ok" and some japanese manga or anime. also cool characters and a good soundtrack. though the camera movement is quite good the colorist doesnt satisfy... but oh well, I cant have it all. shin se kyung's performing is way better than in 'when a man loves', lee dong wook is fine too. I like the supporting roles, especially the second male lead :D. anddd they picked out amazing shooting places *.* (who is the architect of this amazing house with that cool garden?!) so all in all (and to my suprise) its an enjoyable drama based on a very creative story. thumbs up!
Breyedgrl Sep 22 2014 11:42 am I like the drama but for some reason I really do not like the female lead, Shin_Se-Kyung, she just has no expression. I felt the same when she was in When A Man Loves A Woman.
Dian Sep 22 2014 1:07 am Lucu bangeeeetttt !
kaira Sep 21 2014 11:06 pm It is so good! Keep me wanting more. The main girl probably had a bad reputation in her previous drama "when a man loves" but she was actually lovely and not annoying in this drama! Strongly recommend it! :)
smiletere15 Sep 21 2014 3:49 am i really like this drama!!! i saw the diifferant acting of lee dong wook... it may me smile everytime i watched this.... every episode make prettier & prettier :) so please rate it high.... this good drama not boring.... it's unique!!! FIGHTING oppa @lee dong wook :)
Pamela L Downing Sep 20 2014 6:57 pm I thought the show was really good. Left me wanting to see more of it. I want to know what happens to the little boy and the girl , does the girl and the dad fall in love. Does his father tries to take the boy from him. So you see I have some questions about this show so please finish it. E-mail me and let me know please!!!! You have a bless day. Thank you.
mila Sep 20 2014 11:01 am I really really like this drama so I really hate that it has low ratings, it makes me wanna do something about it and I can't do anything!!! Dongwook oppa, fighting!!
Ivy Sep 20 2014 4:42 am No wonder why this drama has such low ratings.Gave it a chance just for LDW. Going to stop watching now, really really wish rating to go up because LDW deserves it and also deserves better than paired with such bad leading girl
Molly Sep 19 2014 8:34 pm Amazing drama, can't wait for next episode! Such a cliffhanger, need more!!! Currently watching 4 dramas and this one has to be one the tops! xx
sora1004 Sep 19 2014 10:59 am Finally after all those boring dramas i can watch this drama. It is weird but this is also good and heart warm drama. Lee dong wook is a good actor but this is the first drama that i really really like and i am glad he took this role,동욱 오빠 짱이다! And chang is so cute. I hope people will considere to watch this drama coz i bet it will make you laugh. Secretary ko is 짱웃겨 ㅋㅋㅋ...she kyung is very cute and director kim yong soo seonsangnim work is very amazing (i really admire his work and the CG director). Compare other drama this one is worth to watch. I feel like watching a movie (or j-drama style)
Ave Sep 18 2014 9:49 pm For now this is my fave drama
happy2behere Sep 17 2014 6:29 pm I LOVE Lee Dong Wook! I've only seen him in drama's so this is a different vibe for him..trying to get used to it..LOL (I can watch him regardless) 2nd episode was better as is the 3rd. I think the lead girl did a great job in this...she was nothing like the last character I saw her play and is showing a full range of emotions here...nice.
Some people who have a solid opinion about an actor or actress come with pre-conceived ideas about them before a drama even starts. I think that is the case for our leading lady here. She had a tremendous amount of hate before this, so those people just keep on hating and carry it from drama to drama without a chance for redemption. Give the girl a chance...this role seems to suit her!
dramammama Sep 16 2014 2:48 pm I like the comedy! I love, love, LOVE Dong Wook! It's hard to watch the Three Stooges-like domestic and office violence. I view them as cartoon characters and keep rolling.
Nang Hsenglyan Naung Sep 16 2014 1:23 pm Lee Dong Wook, fighting! Your comeback is so fast and I like this one again. Forever your fan Shin Se Kyung, fighting! I am in love with your acting and you truly are amazing. Developing so fast... <3
adi Sep 16 2014 9:16 am I only watched the first two episodes so far :D (my opinion might change later). The drama is pretty ok, quite funny. I don't understand how he gets the blades, make it rain and what he turns into, nor how he ends up cutting those trees so nicely but it's pretty interesting so far. I hope they don't ruin it with some inconsistencies regarding the fantasy side of the show.
I don't know much about the actors but so far I like the main girl a lot (she cracked me up when she panicked and beat up the airport guy :)))) ). The male lead falls a little short ( a little bit because of some too over the top scenes the actor had to play and a little bit because of the way the actor decided to portray his character) but I hope to warm up to him completely in the next episodes. Still, the secretary is spot on. I just loved every scene with him. His every expression was priceless and extremely funny. I hope he keeps getting just as much screen time in the future. And the butler lady was great too.
katlin Sep 15 2014 6:45 pm @Nanachu , the drama comment police..The one who will forbid us to write comments concerning the acting in a drama we watch..If you cannot distinguish the difference between hate comments and ones that show disappointment or opinion in how an actor/actress displays the part,or director even writer proceeds with the drama, then it is not the right place here to read the comments. The drama has a weak point IMO and for me that is the lead girl.How strange to be offended by such critic..
nanachu Sep 15 2014 12:49 pm I dont care what you'r really on mind ...as sure... I dont care anymore what in your thought.... I've just explained that DON'T EVER COMPLAINING ANY DORAMA......just because.......you dont like any part of it..... huff
It's suck IDIOT who always COMPLAINING............BUT......They still watch it....Really IDIOT.....uuuffff
I like this drama... so I'll watch it till the ENDS of.... Byeee... :D
Wolfgirl Sep 14 2014 1:20 pm Well, I'm might be in the minority here. I really enjoyed watching the first two episodes. I'm not saying it was a masterpiece or whatever, but it was very different and a nice change. I really like Song Se Dong's character - specially the fact that she's not some crazy, clueless, poor girl which is normally the case with kdramas- Joo Hong Bin's character was a little over the top for me, specially in the first episode, but then I started to understand him better ... the fact that he doesn't know about his ability, the anger that he's holding inside, the loss that he has suffered, and the hope for tomorrow that he has ... I really like how the first 2 episodes unfolded, I hope the writers keep this up!! fighting !!!
Fxfan Sep 13 2014 5:53 pm @nanachu R u a child or what calling someone idiot just because u disagree with him?Personally I dont know and I dont care how korean industry works. for sure though I could think that this girl got her part through connections...terrible acting imo and stated by lotzz of ppl btw.and each one watching a drama got the right to state opinion for it. @katlin agree for the lead girl but we dontcare if industry is corrupted or so.Time will define if kdramas continue to evolve or not....
Tristie Sep 13 2014 10:39 am These actors are developing and are the future of Korean dramas. I think Lee Dong Wook is excellent in this part. and Shin Se Kyung has the ability to be a sympathetic lead women to fix a broken man.
The industry provides me (and you) with hours and hours and hours of enjoyable entertainment every year. I hope you appreciate that and look for the good in every program provided.
I am very please with the translation from the manga story line. I intend to enjoy both actors (artists) in their parts. I really hope you all do too.
And no, I don't work for the Korean drama industry.
nanachu Sep 12 2014 7:42 pm from katlin below:...."""i am disappointed to see lead roles given to inferior actors or idols because of connections managers companies etc"""
I dont know why you *your reason* have to say about CONNECTION in this page.... If you are about complaining the system of Korean Drama Industries, I hope you throw you complainment on Korean Media Industry, like Minister of Korean Media Industry maybe...
But, while you intentionaly expressed your complainment HERE, so I think you also complain about implicit thing about Shin Se Kyung here... So you do think that Shin Se Kyung got here drama is above illegal connection by her manager.....;D
I surely think YOU must be IDIOT one who never understand how to work in film industries... It's about business....
If some artist want to get part on any film like drama or movies, they must have a good manager whose also must have a GOOD relationship to get contract for their artists....
Here, Particularly about Shin Se Kyung..... I dont think she get this contract JUST because her good manager who have good deal with IRON MAN producers...
BUT out off it, she get chance to play role here, because her manager have got DEAL several month ago...
And then, Shin Se Kyung also just one/two times do play a role on drama/movies per-years...So I think you'll FAIL to complaining here just because you dont like a bit of it..... Shin Se Kyung
ABOUT the IDOLs also....If you said " they get contract.... just because their agency"... Yes.. you must be true.... I also AGREE with you...REALLY AGREE...
I also dont like that too many IDOLS interfere or steal the RIGHT of actor who must try hard to be the best ACTOR...... just by one minute loss their chance because IDOLs company influence.
YEAAAH, it's a reality now..it's happen..so we just could to wait what the next....;D
katlin Sep 12 2014 2:12 pm I don't think it's her fault that she can't express emotions which is essential as an actress.I strongly believe that some beautiful girls due to plastic surgeries cannot have facial expressions intense and convincing.Tired to see huge round eyes opening to express fear surprise sadness etc...I support Kdrama so much and i am disappointed to see lead roles given to inferior actors or idols because of connections managers companies etc. Every year,really good dramas become less and i wish for it to change.
leave shin se kyung alone Sep 12 2014 10:13 am you guys are really mean . Everything you say has a limit. So stop saying bad to her !!!!!!!!
Catherine Sep 12 2014 6:06 am Just finished the 2 episodes and I liked it! Lee Dong Wook is absolutely amazing! How he fits in every character that he make is fantastic! Such a good actor! I'm very pleased with him being in this drama! Just for the Shin Se-Kyung I don't think that she is bad in her acting, but this is the first time I saw her acting! And so far I'm not disappointed! But it's only 2 episodes! I hope it continue suprising me positively!
nicky411 Sep 12 2014 5:13 am Watched the first 2 episodes and was pleasantly surprised- which is good. Lee Dong Wook was excellent as always but is giving us a new dimensjon to his actjng. I am sure he wanted this challenge and that is why he agreed to another drama so soon after Hotel King. BUT the supporting cast is also very good, which i think allows me to gloss over her deficiencies. I actually think i may enjoy this drama. Thank you LDW for changing my mind. You are an actor in a totally different level. FIGHTING!!
Jung Jiyeon Sep 11 2014 8:11 pm Did anyone else notice that Jung Yoogeun is in the cast? XD I feel like you're only fighting over the acting skills of Shin Sekyung. Just stop bashing all together. Let's just get along with each other. ^^'
woofhart Sep 11 2014 5:14 pm Shin Se Kyung aint a bad actress. In fact, her character's got charm to it... but that's only my own opinion so don't flame me.
I reserve my review on this series until later episodes... What I can say for now is that Lee Dong Wook is good. Well, he's always good in every role he's in. It shows that he's really giving it all that he's got.
nelson Sep 11 2014 3:54 pm in every korean drama:
i think this dumb awful looking drama is trying to stand out from the rest by giving the guy porcupine spikes.... so coooool. ladies and gents, KBS introducing the magnificent Porcupine-man who has a little bit of retardation. cue superman music
nanachu Sep 11 2014 2:38 pm I think this drama is good enough for me. I dont feel too boring scene or to irritated scene.. It's juts beginning.. I like Lee Dong
Wook, I also like Shin Se Kyung Here......curious to wait the next part.....
For some reason I think the first episode was FLOW SCENE Drama which the scene just flow with tne Natural felling from viewers...
hope next episde also have similar flow scene
For who complain again with Shin Se Kyung.... ".." -------------------------------------------------------------------
I think You ppl, must FIRSTLY try to be an actrees & then please comment on to your self.....Are you really have capability to act
like her, even just little idiot part?.....
I think Shin Se Kyung never done some BAD/WORSE acting.... Before also, on her last drama she never done BAD/WORSE acting... just
because her face mimic whose LITTLE stiff
For some motive, I think the reason why you (some ppl) which usually DONT like Shin Se Kyung act are because you jealous for her..
maybe of her cuteness face....
The FACT is Shin Se Kyung on more attitude have a CHARM which make (some) other girls WILL be jealous to her PERSONALITY....
I think fans/ppl who usually hate Shin Se Kyung must contaminated by some other ppl/fan BAD though.... which ALWAYS whizzing or
mirrored by some unresponsable ppl who never ever like korean drama.... She's just a victims of bad tought
nita Sep 11 2014 12:52 pm Very disappointed. Shin se kyung is such a disappointment. After all these bashings, one would have expected some improvement, but alas, no.
gado Sep 11 2014 8:09 am Please stop with the super fn long pauses where they just stare at each other for 100 minutes! (what are they doing? Posing for pictures?) As for Shin Se-Kyung's acting...she's very pretty but she would be a better fit for movies where she's a robot or android!
peach Sep 11 2014 8:01 am The drama poster shown in this page is quite ridiculous.
K Drama Fan Sep 11 2014 3:18 am Have just the watched the first episode, very interesting. Lee Dong Wook is showing the diversity in his acting. He's a very good actor, very believable! The first episode is a mixture of humor and drama. Can't wait to see what the rest of the drama will be like.
Jessica wong Sep 10 2014 10:52 pm @ Marieann you can watch this on icdrama.se - really cute and funny
woyoung Sep 10 2014 10:20 pm oMG Shin Se-Kyung and Lee Dong-Wook ...
berceuse Sep 10 2014 9:41 pm Lee Dong-Wook
MarieAnn Sep 10 2014 8:38 pm Please tell me .... Is this showing already and where to watch this good drama.
MarieAnne Sep 10 2014 8:35 pm When this drama will be available to watch. Ive been waiting. Thank you.
chrissyllee Sep 10 2014 6:16 pm I hope they mean figuratively about the blades that come out.
Radar Sep 10 2014 5:04 am Sounds like he needs physical and mental therapy unless the female lead can give him that too?
shermila sher Sep 08 2014 7:18 am wahhh..daebak drama..
jaidee Sep 07 2014 6:26 pm looking forward and excited to watch this on line... love to see lee dong wook's new drama. i always love to see his handsome and cute face plus his great acting....goodluck!!!
boom Sep 06 2014 5:12 pm Gonna be hard to appreciate Lee Dong Wook's work with her in the way -_- Half this drama is already r.u.i.n.e.d.
nier Sep 06 2014 1:38 am Lee Dong Wook is such a great actor
Evon Sep 03 2014 10:56 pm So exited to see Lee Dong Wook again.. love him so much..ヅ
hayzen Sep 02 2014 12:58 pm Finally Shin Se Kyung is back, I have been waiting for you. you have your geniune fans supporting you. Go ahead and melt Dong Wook and everyone heart, Fighting Shin Se Kyung.
Venus Jane Sep 01 2014 9:53 pm Let's give another chance to Shin Se Kyung, may this time, she should improve her acting with this drama, i hope with all the bashing she got, she would take it as constructive criticism...
nanachu Sep 01 2014 9:12 pm hopefully the storymaker make this drama REALLY limited to natural animation....It will be a FAIL filming if still have unnatural animation for korean big Animation Industry like Samsung, LG..whatever.......even its still drama, not a movies....patient to wait it... :))
Maria Lopez-Martinez Sep 01 2014 3:58 pm So excited to see Lee Dong Wook! Loved him since I saw him on Scent of a Woman! I'm not familiar with the leading actress, but you all seem to agree that her acting skills are lacking. If that is so, what were the producers and director thinking?
Rin Aug 31 2014 5:30 pm The description of the woman does not suit Shin Se Kyung in any sense at all. I hope, for once, she can actually act. Lee Da Hae should've had this part or someone that can act.
Aqil Rafiqi Aug 28 2014 5:12 am Lee Dong Wook hyung ! Hwaiting ! I'm always support you behind . I like you because SBS's Roommate ~
julia Aug 25 2014 12:40 am Till what episodes have a iron man korean drama...????
Korean Movies Aug 24 2014 5:07 pm Aaah I love Shin Se-Kyung! Love this.
Nila Bene Aug 23 2014 3:25 am Hopefuly her acting improve ,Shin Se-Kyung...fighting!!
Nila Bene Aug 23 2014 2:50 am hoping she improve her acting skills..Shin Se kyung...fighting!!
julia Aug 23 2014 2:20 am Me too...i'll try to wacth it....it's all because of my paloloves lee dong wook....:-):-):-):-)....
Kim Aug 21 2014 4:40 am I actually really like Shin Se Kyung. Maybe her acting is not that great, but when A Man Loves was great in my opinion, and although Fashion King Sucked, the male lead was cool, and I liked Shin Se Kyung.
Maybe cause she's just pretty, and I am biased because of that :(
Hope she has improved for this Drama!
alex Aug 20 2014 11:21 pm People here cares about how bad she is..I just wanted to see a Kdrama Iron Man....they really gave me false hope from the title THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE TITLE NOT THE ACTRESS
Kinggofing Aug 20 2014 10:48 pm Oh come on, stop bashing on SSK, she's not that bad, lets all just wish that she polished her acting skill before they filmed this.
dramADDICT Aug 20 2014 4:50 pm Looks like Lee Dong Wook may have to carry this drama unless the leading lady, Se Kyung, has improved a lot. Her body language, delivery of the lines and especially her lack of facial expressions that fit with the lines have been problematic in her past roles.. I really hope she and the drama does well.
me_nina Aug 19 2014 6:42 pm hahaha...lol..robot wooden actress... i agreed w/Nadia~ :P
LUCY Aug 19 2014 8:38 am I'm certainly going to watch it!! LDW <3 BUT WHY HER??? No facial expressions!! :(
kittykat Aug 18 2014 9:42 pm Why??This Iron Man role sound similar to HK role, hopefully i am wrong. Not exactly excited about this drama. Will watch it because of Lee Dong Wook only !!!
debrainmke Aug 18 2014 8:17 pm Oh, God! Not her again.....the rating have tanked even before the drama airs. She cannot act!!! No ifs, ands, or buts about it! Poor Lee Dong-Wook!
k Aug 18 2014 1:58 pm I love him and i love her . perfect
Ayoko Aug 18 2014 12:29 pm Me too, I love LDW, especially from Hotel King and My Girl as well as from Scent of a woman but I don't like Se Kyung - no offense. She lacks so much in acting while Wookie is one of the best and the most amazing actors in Korea .. I can't bring myself to watch it but I'll do it only for LDW :)
seara Aug 17 2014 11:44 pm Ehm, i hope shin se kyung can improve her acting there to catch up with lee dong wook. She is pretty but her acting is not that good. Usually the protagonist lead female win the heart of viewers but i can't make myself to like her at all in the drama she played. No offense for the fans
NATS Aug 16 2014 1:02 am I can't wait I think she is soo pretty it's ture she just got looks but don't feel it ....
조비 Aug 15 2014 3:22 am So sad.. why Shin Se Kyung?? Almost all her drama shows did not rate. I love Lee Dong Wook
smile Aug 13 2014 6:23 pm Hope this drama will be a good one since its Dong Wook oppa, but actually I do not like Shin Se Kyung's acting..
ara Aug 13 2014 4:36 am I love shin se kyung... an i thought she's a great actress... her face looks beauty too, so she and lee doong wook oppa will make a great chemistry together
rich Aug 12 2014 8:11 pm Why shin se kyung? There are lots of good actress in korea, i hope iron man will rate
Neete Aug 12 2014 9:09 am why Shin se-kyung???? why??? Lee Dong Wook is such a good actor, why with someone like her? such a pity, for Lee Dong Wook and the drama. she can only do one expression, that is no expression. frozen features. Watched both Fashion King and When A Man Loves, the male leads in both dramas did very well in other dramas, great chemistry but with her, NO CHEMISTRY, nada. Just can't figure out what was it she was trying to tell in both dramas. Nothing personal, just don't agree with her acting
Nadia Aug 11 2014 10:04 am Nooooooooo,again a good actor with a robot wooden actress ,she have no expression what so ever she will ruin the hell out of the drama,why not cast better actress with more experience ,poor lee dong wook ,she acted before with an amazing actor in when aman loves ,and she sucked there too,I want to see him again after hotel king but I hate her guts, what shold I do
yoon Aug 10 2014 2:48 am Lee Dong Wook seems to already accept this role. It's a pity how this drama is only a month before it's first broadcast, three weeks before its press and yet the production is still on the searching cast phase. My respect goes to Lee DongWook who help by accepting this role before KBS2 canceled the drama.
jeyran Aug 09 2014 7:07 am Lee Dong Wook oppa don't accept this role :-(
Ai Aug 09 2014 5:38 am Ally wtf is wrong with you? -_- ...
Ayoko Aug 08 2014 1:48 pm Come on - don't be like that! He Is actor so its his job to act in another dramas!
Ally Aug 08 2014 7:04 am PLEASE, PLEASE Lee Dong Wook oppa don't accept this role!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
