Bye-bye, Big! It's not me, it's you!

Eleven episodes in and it's time to face the truth - when I spend 10 minutes watching each ep at extreme fast-forward and it still feels too long, it's time to quit. Life's too short, with too many other fun things to do ( Read more... )

I don't even hate the heroine, which would be an explanation of sorts - I just don't care. It's more exciting to watch informercials - I am that bored with it.

Yeah, I loved Delightful Girl Chunhyang, My Girl, Gumiho GF and Hong Gil Dong but sadly Big isn't joining the list.

I wonder if there's anyone who really loves it (maybe okoala?), it seems to strike most with feelings of ambivalence at most, including moi. I've watched every episode and will probably watch them all. I find them easy to digest, especially when I'm busy and want something light. And it has provided me with a few laughs ( ... )

Koala and some of her commenters love it, as well as some soompiers, but overall, this is the least fan-loved HS drama I've ever seen. If you read comments to ep 11 recap on DB, it's 90% negative.

It doesn't actively annoy me the way Best Love did, nor does my inner feminist raise her sleeping head, the way it did with YAB, I just...don't care.

I really think the body swap tied them up. It's a cool gimmick but the drama doesn't really have much to say beyond it - I always love their dramas best when they have something interesting (emotionally or otherwise) to say.

I'm a big fan of the Hong Sisters, but for some reason I'm not the slightest interested in "Big."

I am hit or miss with Hong Sisters (when I love them, I really love them, but sometimes they rub me the wrong way) but love them or hate them, I usually have strong feelings about their dramas. Big is the first drama since Fantasy Couple where I am just 'meh.'

I completely forgot Fantasy Couple was a Hong Sisters drama! Yeah, I'm like you. When I'm emotionally invested in a Hong Sisters drama, I go all out. ADORED My Girl, You're Beautiful and Greatest Love.

My HS obsession dramas were Delightful Girl, My Girl, Hong Gil Dong and Gumiho GF...when they are good, they are really good!

I gave it up at ep 3. I tried to like it and i've also been reading the recaps on Db but everything about this drama leavs me cold. It doesn't wake my interest, Best love just annoyed me everything about it was annoyoing
