Watched it just now.. am quite disappointed actually since was looking forward to KSH-IU pairing since DH... agreed that it's such a waste.. the pairing would have been perfect. Now m not bothered much with the loveline so much.. just want more Cindy's character development.. she looks sooo lonely even when there's  ppl ard her and sooo pitiful.. to  make it worse, her love is 1 sided.. it's like she found someone who seemingly accepts her and finally slowly melting d frozen ice in her n soon she'll b super heartbroken... then in the end she'll juz be another lonely girl with no one to trust, no one to give n receive love.. no wonder they say that being an artist esp a solo one is a very lonely journey...

 

when I see Cindy in today's ep shes like wanting to scream out but no one seems to take notice of her.. look at her facial expression.. poor Cindy.. :rlytearpls:

I actually watched it again with subs  this time... seriously I think kdrama is loveline plot is sooo predictable...  the  noona-dongsaeng loveline kinda  gets overrated...  I mean it is practically d same with ALL other kdramas..  so nothing stands out...  unless they take on a new turn in developing the characters, I might even think of stop watching the show.  There's Joon Mo who clearly like YeJin but somehow hold back on confessing to her and advancing.. u can practically see the "some" relationship there... but why is he holding back is a question mark.. there's Cindy who is clearly lonely but what exactly happen to her for her to be so "icy" and for her grp pinky4 to  hate her.

 

Seems that these characters are being pushed aside to make way for the overrated noona-dongsaeng relationship highlight... hopefully they don't disappoint afterall this variety drama has already reached its halfway mark...  with Cindy becoming more pitiful than she already is (pls someone send some guardian angel to save her and love her) and Joon Mo with his unsorted feelings... was looking forward to something unique and interesting but ...

 

will watch ep 7 and see how ..

omg, my sentiments exactly! I support everything Soo Hyun does, but the last two eps kinda killed the excitement for me. I hope it picks up.

Oh my...  same here... my excitement went downhill... ep 4 was like wow.. they nailed it with the Cindy-Seungchan interaction and the YJ- JoonMo chemistry... den BAMMMM.... cindy joonmo one corner... n the BSC-YJ came into the spotlight... Seriously  they nid  new  ideas... if they cant develop Cindy's or JoonMo's loveline then they should just focused on the characters itself... and how  the character's survived  the entertainment world... I hope badly that it will pick up though  I know from the filming pics  that we r sooo gonna hav d YJ-BSC in majority of the camera time... :unimpressed:

god please no. i haven't seen these pics yet. i really don't know how people get thrills from yj-bsc. they look too noona-dongsaeng to me. please please let it stop. I can't even rewatch ep 6., thank god for the lift scene. Ep 5 was too tyj-bsc centered, and their backstory isn't even that good. grazed car, then bullied around... then he's fallen for her? >.<

 

i'm now just rooting for cindy and her manager to find happiness.

tell me abt it.. I agree they r too noona-dongsaeng and I just dun get it why people are thrill abt them.. I love ghj in masters  sun and her other dramas maybe coz the pairing just suits her but definitely not this... I re-watched ep 6 just for cindy-bsc scenes or mayb tyj-rjm scenes too.. but not tyj-bsc...

 

me rooting for cindy's and her manager happiness too... I m afraid that cindy will become more pitiful than she's already is due to her 1 sided-love... and to think the character relationship charts gives me hope... :wut:

 

anyways.. new bts shows something like cindy in tyj-rjm house... dunno wat she's doing there...

yeah cant believe this show is halfway through and I read that the writer is now gonna focus on a diff course of loveline RJM-TYJ-BSC from ep 7...a ball of confusion here..  so  does that mean Cindy will get lesser screentime... hmmm... plus the writer seems to still be thinking on the course of loveline for BSC with all possible possibilities... hahahah... I guess its gonna be a HUGE ball of confusion for the viewers...

 

lets see what ep 7 & 8 have in store for us... :hurr:

I read that no matter what the loveline turns out, there will be a person who is gonna be heartbroken... I am hoping badly that it will not be Cindy... :cry:

 

How can they just reunite KSH-IU just to make IU's character pitiful right?!! Andwae!!!! :wut:

I want Cindy/BSC to be lovers, she looked surprised when he accidently visited her in the hospital after that adorable rehearse/elevator scene, then he asks for TYJ (why does BSC have to be so single-minded, he gets me so angry, lol). IU always get heartbroken, and it's tearing me up inside too, and it looked like she's not into him anymore when CEO visits her.

 

Episode 6 ending was just ugh, that whole love triangle storyline is just ridiculous, making me consider dropping the show. They also need to stop zooming in on the characters' faces at every sentence.

 

All that aside, I really hope Cindy confesses her love for BSC or something. Now that'd be interesting.

I hope so too.. but m trying to figure out how did cindy ends up at TYJ and RJM's house... ep 7 preview makes me feel like dropping the show... if not for the curiosity... what makes me glued other than d funny parts and BSC-Cindy interaction is the whole "there's more to Cindy than meets d eye" vibe... I wanna watch her unravel to become her true self...

:hurr:

I saw this and I was like YES!!!! at last... but hopefully  tomorrow's ep doesn't bring the happiness down... at times it does seem like BSC likes Cindy... this ep is a must watch for Cindy's character..

Yeah I cried watching Cindy yesterday.. especially when she's singing "HEART"... it's really sad.. not abt BSC but when they showed her walking through CEO Byun and the new girl's intro crowd... She sort of like know she has reached the top and there will come a time for her to go downhill but CEO Byun is just soooo annoyingly cruel... I find the new girl annoying also... Hope Cindy will get true friends and be happy.. she should seriously escape from CEO Byun's clutches...

I m only tuning in for Cindy's part.. loveliness kinda getting boring.. Her character keeps getting interesting while others I think keep on going back and forth... neither here nor there... Cindy fighting!!!

 

KJK's character is cute though... heheheh

Cindy fighting! Thank god there's only two epis left. I can't like any of the PDs. Such a mess. i'll just wait for ksy's next proj and root for his next role.

If I'm not wrong I think he has chosen a movie role... I read it somewhere... yup2 I think the loveliness thingy is a big huge ball of confusion so right now I am basically ignoring it and watching just for Cindy... at least there's development in her character and m looking forward to how she's going to "fight".. there seems to be more stories and development on her part and I find it interesting... lucky her "still hoping for BSC" part is not being focused on too much.. Cindy in ep10 is just soooo cute :hurr:

I just watched it epi 10 with subs...... TOTALLY disappointed at the end! lol.  :unsure:

 

 

 

Yeah, Cindy seemed to be a typical cliche type at the beginning, but now she's the character you root for and like. I couldn't stay with Seung-Chan anymore, he was the guy you liked in the beginning, but as it progress, I kinda stop caring about him. And 

 

Epi 10

 

Oh man these PDs are just not that fun anymore... just two more episodes. I don't know if anything good will come for Umbrella couple as the end of epi 10 practically ruined that. but it's a drama, so you never know things could get crazy. i'm hoping for SC-Cindy, mostly just for Cindy's sake. I'm still disappointed because BSC's feelings for TYJ was never explained for when it happened. It's almost as if the writers were like 'what if' and thinly put it in the drama. Joon Mo is too old to be like the way he is. He knows better, he prolly created lovelines in his past, Oh well. just hoping the best for Cindy. i mean she sang to (clearly directed at him) and it sprung him into action to admit to Yejin, lol. what a bummer... hope it goes better. 

 

I know rite... BSC initially was a guy you liked and as d story progresses, you are just not into him. I mean how blur or clueless can a law graduate get.. you have to be smart to study law.. he just keeps sending signals like all over the place.. I re-watched ep 10 with subs and basically skipped all the non-cindy related parts (OMG! I am sooo bad.. heheehhe)

 

 

I just love3 Cindy and her antis... it was such a funny and cute scene esp her glare towards Roy Kim(maybe I should start shipping them together.. :hurr: )... also love when Cindy starts to retaliate CEO Byun.. she's so cool!

As an Umbrella shipper, I did not like the ending of episode 10

 

The part where Cindy revealed herself to her anti-fans, and when her "Who are You Cindy, Ms. Cindy" manager came in and then ran out was hilarious and fantastic.

 Yeah I think Cindy and her antis scene is the highlight of ep 10... they are hilarious together..

Am looking forward to this week's eps just for Cindy... now it also seems like being a PD, Joon Mo has something hidden...  he seems to know what exactly happen to Yuna and he's not telling... Am curious about it too... Cindy is also curious but no one seems to know... Joon Mo and Yuna is kinda like BSC and Cindy... Yuna seems to like Joon Mo then through the blast from the past memories... If they can unfold that story maybe Joon Mo's character will be interesting and will tie in to his behaviour as a PD... Not enough development for the PDs as of now...

This! So much this! 

I was first excited for the show when I heard that it was going to be set in the KBS variety department (variety fan here) and I was one of the few people who actually enjoyed the first two episodes because they felt new & fresh (in terms of K-Drama) and not like all the other K-Dramas I've unsuccessfully tried to watch, but ever since it turned into your run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter K-Drama fare I couldn't really care less about anything other than Cindy's character development. She's the only interesting thing about the show for me atm & I'd probably only watch a IU/Cindy cut of the show at this point, if it was available.

The show had so much potential in regards to the interesting setting & the great actors, but it has pretty much all been wasted. In a month's time, the only thing I'll still remember from the show will probably be IU/Cindy & her story/development, and that's saying something about how badly this show has been mishandled when you consider that they had Cha Tae Hyun & Gong Hyo Jin for the main roles & pretty much gave them nothing to work with.

/end rant

me too.. I just watched for IU/Cindy cut... just skip the rest coz they are either going over and over the same old thing/ matter/ problem/ whatever or they just have lil BSC chasing his noona back and forth doing very little PD work... the Pds are just coming to work and discuss bits here and there and then Bamm!!! the chase starts again... weird that they have loads of time on hand to sit at the playground or just keep going out for meals... I thought PDs are very busy... it's quite unrealistic...

 

 

I was expecting something like 1N2D kinda concept.. scripted abit but real.. it's supposed to be variety drama.. but this seems like d normal rom-com except only 1 character (Cindy) which is portrayed realistically (a senior did tell IU before that since she's a soloist, the road she's travelling can be a lonely one- something along that line).. there's some potential for Ra PD to be interesting if the writer-nim unravel the layers of his character as he seems to be the only one who actually empathised with Cindy. There's a lot more to him than meet the eye...

 

The lovelines... just forget about it... let the dongsaeng chase the noona for all I care.. I mean that's practically what BSC is doing for EVERY episode without fail :unimpressed:

 

Since this week is the last week... Bring it on Cindy!! Combine forces with your antis and fight CEO Byun.. (I love3 Cindy and her antis.. they are sooo cute and hilarious together!)

This drama died the moment they had BSC have a crush on yj out of nowhere.

I know it is weird right.. considering BSC actually had a huge crush on his sunbae that he gave up being a prosecutor and became a PD just so that he can be with her... just how long is that crush?! and then no sign of him trying hard to win his sunbae's heart after her break-up with Joon Mo... then BAMMMM!!! he just simply fall for YJ just like that.. huge question mark there... I mean HUGE crush for years just gone like that.. what kinda a guy is this BSC? Weird :wut:

I want to know where the hell is the other girl, I know she dissappear because nobody wants to hire her but the curiosity about how she feels about Ra Joo Mon is juicy, to me

 

Also Cindy speech is so lovely and heartbreaking, especially when BSC gives a sh*t and goes for the noona lmao I like Cindy character but to me, they don't match (With BSC), they could be a good couple, since the first pairing moment were on the mountains filming that variety but the writers didn't do their job, I can't feel anything on that pairing

 

yeah.. I am also curious about Yuna (if you are referring to the ex-idol here).. Ra Pd keeps pondering and feeling guilty about her fate that it makes me wonder what did CEO Byun did to her till her reputation became soo bad that no one wants to hire her. This will also explains why Ra PD is very empathetic towards Cindy and on his "sour" relationship with CEO Byun...This will be interesting... hmmmm...

 

I agree that Cindy-BSC will be a very good pairing since quite a number of people actually tune in to this following them from the DH days... but writer-nim seems to want to pacify more noonas/ ahjummas "thirst" for noona-dongsaeng relationship.. it's seriously weird in kdrama land... if it is an ahjusshi-younger girl relationship, confirm a lot of people will bash them saying the guy is too old n blah blah blah..but if it is the other way round, then it will be "oh they got chemistry.. they r soo cute together... age is not a factor...".. think it is to satisfy more of the noonas'/ ahjummas' fantasy :wut:

 

Well, writer-nim just missed a good pairing and it is wasted.. but moving on... with the last 2 eps airing this week, I don't give a s**t about who is chasing who (BSC-YJ-Joon Mo can just sit on a merry-go-round n keep on turning like no one's business).. Cindy just deserves a good ending getting away from CEO Byun.. looking forward to her "battle".. a pity that IU's acting is being judged so early into the drama without people seeing how her character is developing... but it seems now lots of people are viewing her acting in a good light :happy:

 

can't wait for this week's preview esp when some fans recorded IU filming and it seems like she's walking down the road alone.. she looks so lonely :cry:

That's not even the worst part, lol.

 

Pretty Man had poor ratings in Korea (3%-7% I think) and people blamed that on IU, calling her "an actress with 5% ratings, like Yoona", completely disregarding her acting ability (and using a single drama's rating as a benchmark for her). This is while they praised Heirs (managed to hit 20% a few times) as some sort of top tier drama. While her performance in YATBLSS was a bit unstable during the beginning, she portrayed her 4D character in PM really well IMO.

 

Then you have people saying she shouldn't be acting because IU "doesn't have a suitable face for acting". I mean holy shit, I've never heard of any such terms in regards to places like Hollywood or even the J-drama scene, yet K-drama viewers seems to believe that you have to have a face that suits acting rather than actual acting ability.

 

Meh, its probably gonna take a good lead role + good script/co-actors for her to get any recognition, for now we'll have to deal with people freaking out whenever she gets cast in another drama.

I watched PM and I love IU's 4D character... I seriously think she's good totally hilarious... just that I think JKS character has too many girls to deal with that it gets kinda boring... I dunno just my opinion...

 

I am looking forward to her comeback and after that her next drama with a good script of course... She can act alright.. even the YTBLSS said that she can portray a character emotionally well (something along that line)...

I'll assume everything after 'that's not the worst part' is your elaboration on the worst. It fathoms me how people can be in korea, knetz crazy. I wouldn't say IU was stellar in YATBLSS, but she wasn't crap either. Improvement over DH, and also a legit leading role, but yeah using one drama to benchmark her sucks. Hollywood doesn't seem to have this problem. You get haters sure, but damn... blaming it on IU is just tough. From my k-fan-ness being from America, i would be like 'oh neat, IU is in a drama, I like IU, i'll check it out' where knetz/peeps be like 'iu in a drama, iu is an idol, don't check it out'. I agree with you, I watched Heirs, and wasn't blown away by it. it's also complicated cuz established actors will have bad drama series too but they're forgiven for it, not so much for idols in general. 

 

producers had the good co-actors, just bad scripting and from what i'm reading from you guys, she'll get heat for this after all said and done as well. No one is saying anything about BSC and Yejin, gosh has to be the worst roles I seen for their actors I've personally seen. 

 

4D like how Sunmi was when she was a Wonder Girl? Should i watch Pretty Man? TBH - I don't find JKS that charming... but if you say it's worth a watch, i'll check it out when I'm on the stairmaster.

 

I can't recall cuz it's been a while, but did people do the same thing to Suzy? I ask cuz I know Suzy and IU were both given that daughter/little sister of korea title. Suzy had Gu Family Book and Architecture 101, both I enjoyed.

 

Strange how people will love them, unless they go into acting. It was implied earlier here that the lack of umbrella couple is tied to the lack of support for Cindy mainly because it's played by IU. Which is kinda lame. Then again there is a combination of many things that have made this drama fall short of its potential. lol

For me Prettty Man seems ok (for IU's role anyway).. some find her role annoying but I find it funny and unique (ok maybe I am weird).. her 4D character sorta reminded me of Nodame from Nodame Cantabile.. It doesn't have to make sense.. That's what I like about it. Just that JKS role is quite boring since they focused more on him and his girls stuffs. Maybe due to bad script not the actor himself. This is not recommended but if you just wanna watch IU in a 4D role, you can give it a try.

 

 

IU is the Nation's Lil Sister whereas Suzy is the Nation's First Love. Maybe coz they are singers originally so their acting will be judged as mediocre by others. Suzy went through the same criticism from some knetz.

 

People are very very judgemental. Just coz someone is a senior in acting and co-starred with an idol actors/ actresses, people will perceived the idol for not being "on par" with the senior thus they begin to nitpick at every single flaw she/ he might have. which is quite unhealthy I must say coz everyone starts out as a rookie in one way or another and really experience builds the actor/ actress over time.

 

IU was criticized badly initially and due to her 1 time mistake some people already formed a prejudice towards her (which is unhealthy). They just need to put the blame on someone and it's her (which is super lame just coz the other 3 is top actors)... :wut:

@Jimmy, like Xallista said, try a few episodes^^

 

Its just not amongst my favorites but there are people who really liked it. I mean, it's not horrible, I just found the story hard to connect. But you can still try, you never know.

It's quirky.

I get what you mean... I find Pretty Man a bore but IU's character is sooo quirky.. I like her character actually coz she's weird. :hurr:
