4. Crash landing on you, and I also liked him in Secret Garden.

He and Son Ye-Jin were perfect in CLOY. I hope their happily ever after which resulted in a real marriage lasts forever. Both with long movie and t.v. credits. It's going to take some fortitude to break the magic by watching them act in the Negotiation where they're on opposite sides of the conflict.

Son Ye-Jin is so good, that I still made it through Something in the Rain, despite its problems. Good lord, the director should be taken out and flogged. What the hell with using Stand by your Man as the theme song! I cringed every time I heard it. So inappropriately applied. First half was great. Second half it looked like a first year filmmaker slapped it together. I would say that was the worst K-drama, but truthfully, I skated through some of them, jumping straight to the ending if it was too bubble gum and/or rom-com formulaic.

Highly recommend Secret Garden. BTW, Ha Ji-Won (the female lead) has a long list of credits. I just saw Chocolate, which is another great K-drama that she was in. She plays a very passive character with deep scars, which I later discovered is a change from her usual roles. She played the main character in Empress Ki, which was a major drama with 51 episodes. I could not commit to it with that many episodes without peeking at the ending. All I can say is, that I decided not to watch it.
