Oh my god, you pretty much summed up exactly how I feel about Big! I've never really liked the Hong Sisters' dramas because too often their lead characters seem more like the shallowest, most predictable of caricatures rather than actual people + I also am not fond of that OTT, frenetic atmosphere since it usually just feels so... idk, dumbed-down. This time around I didn't actually realize this was written by them until I saw a timed comment on viki saying so and my eyes pretty much bugged out of my head from the surprise. It's just so different from what I've come to expect from them. Also, IDK if it's due to the PD or what, but there were a lot of subtle, well-done moments I really appreciated (I remember beign impressed the way KH + GY's character transitioned into the cherubs, that whole scene where Lee Minjung rushes into the hospital and there's no dialogue, only music, etc, etc). That being said, the second the characters start acting like idiots and spouting the same old tired, corny puns like the Hong sisters usually have
( ... )
Yes, and their latest dramas have been the worst (I mean, Best Love gave me hives). This is surprisingly quiet and with room for characters to breathe.
I actually found Big refreshing. It was not pretentious, it was not hectic, nothing was insane! It was such a sock to discover that the doctor is not actually the main character. I thought the drama would deal with how he and heroine found a way to be with each other, but this is even better!!! I completely ship her with the student, although I am still confused which body version I ship her with, but I guess I am going to have to get used to Gong Yoo's body.
jaejoong in chosun garb is so freaking hilarious to me i can't get over it. he looks like an alien!! (the most pretty and unintimidating alien).
wow, omg, go big! i'm waiting 'til it's done but the most confusing shipping dynamics ever. it'd be brilliant if they ended up with younger-older versions!!
(also, mousie, dyu have any idea where to get love rain dls? i'm lost, lmao, and i tried a torrent that just wasn't having any of it).
I kind of hate JDG character in AGD, dude is a douche and she's so much better then he is. I feel sad for her though having a unrequited love. I was surprised about Big, it was a very different first ep for a Hong sisters drama but I liked it a lot. I'm not though convinced that Da-Ran is supposed to be with Joon, I think Joon longs for family and love from a family. But Yoon-Yae is sketchy, I don't think he is straight with Da-Ran and in the scene where she falls down the stairs their hands don't meet (dun dun dun). But looking forward to how it develops^^

Big is shockingly un-Hong Sisterslike. I think their fans are disappointed but I am pleased.
