Notes:
I’m going to have to watch more than 15 minutes. This show is really long and the title sequence hasn’t shown up. Oh man, this is sad. Do people really sink when they die? I don’t think so… This is so awkward. So much back-story. Oh my god. When will the actual storyline start? HE TOOK HER BABY? WHAT? THIS POOR KID. Slipping and falling while crying… I think this only happens in movies. I’m so happy, I’m splashing an elephant. Oh my. He grew up. How nice. How very, very, VERY nice. Is this title sequence ever going to show up? Oh my god. These fight scenes… Oh, Lee Min Ho. Why must your hair be so perfect?I JUST SAT THROUGH ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRAMA AND I DON’T EVEN GET A TITLE SEQUENCE?
WHAT
