It was a forced hug but not a forced kiss. She had 5 seconds to push him away. Imagine you were in the exact same situation but with an unwanted advance. Would you seriously do nothing for 5 seconds? I know I wouldn't and I was in a similar situation once. Especially just after a forced hug.Coconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-78692463189393452422016-05-04T16:31:45.837-04:002016-05-04T16:31:45.837-04:00Well, I for one love this drama.

I have seen over 150 various Korean dramas,have read up on the culture and recently returned from a trip there. Yes, things are different there. We don't have to like it, but accept it, we must.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-54060994381554077732016-04-25T23:35:28.424-04:002016-04-25T23:35:28.424-04:00I love foreign TV and films and discovered this on...I love foreign TV and films and discovered this on Netflix. Given all the reviews that I have read online, one must be Korean to truly appreciate this series because I personally find the acting to be wooden and horrible. The only two characters in this that have any appeal are Sun Jae and his girlfriend Park Dami. The piano pieces are the only redeeming qualities to the drama and were quite enjoyable to watch. I am however getting some insight into Korean culture of which I knew nothing and I can't say I like what I do see from this. There is corruption everywhere but the blaze way in which this series approaches it is quite disturbing. I kept watching in the hope that it would get better and continue to be disappointed. This is first and will definitely be the last KDrama that I will ever watch.

The show has now an average score of 80%.<br />Here is a link to the page if you would like to give it a look: <br />http://www.akiatalking.com/2014/12/secret-love-affair-2014-db-page.html<br />Thanks again for the review.<br />Professor AKIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860850948653087851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-34183680011783336072014-11-21T18:04:04.692-05:002014-11-21T18:04:04.692-05:00I enjoy your reviews and I find myself watching se...I enjoy your reviews and I find myself watching series you recommend. I have watched Korean dramas long before you started, so, just like you after awhile you end up choosing dramas according to your own preference. You are right in saying it is unremittingly depressing and slow, that's why this is the only drama you recommended that unfortunately I didn't like. Not because the actors didn't deliver their characters or even about the morality issue but I just found it tedious. I really tried but after 10 episodes and dragging issues of corruption in the school, I just felt sleepy and so tired. I even went to see the final episode hoping it will encourage me to go back to the episodes I didn't see but even that I have to fast forward it till the end.<br /><br />Maybe I don't like too deep films that goes on and on with too much reality because after all my preference when I watch films is mainly to escape the real world and feel good again. So, if one's preference is like me, then, this series is not for you. However, if you enjoy a well done acting and production with a very realistic tone, then, one will enjoy this series. But, definitely not my cup of tea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-18575947446676335012014-08-15T18:17:16.861-04:002014-08-15T18:17:16.861-04:00Watching it reminded me of Bridges of Madison Coun...Watching it reminded me of Bridges of Madison County and The English Patient.

This drama is HOT, truly sexy and wonderfully executed. The acting is off the charts and the "piano sex" is the most erotic and spiritual thing I have seen in a kdrama so far. I am so loving the fact that the ladies run the show and are awesome flawed, intelligent, beautiful "sly foxes". I went through so many feelings while watching this show that I believe it has been an almost catharsis-like experience. Thank you for your post and most definetely thank you to SLA for being dangerously excuisite.
