Hey, that is how I am feeling with ROCH and HS (I started the latter on crunchyroll though).

Wow. Did you actually finish Loveholic? I, for one, am impressed cause I couldn't do it.

Nope. I finished ep 9 months ago and got stuck.

It's such a pity because for the first 4-5 eps it was incredible and then it's like they had a brain aneurism.

Mind you, I don't think the following eps were awful or anything, but they were very draggy. The pace ground to a crawl. I was in a parodoxical situation of liking individual scenes but thinking the whole was sloooow.

Plus, it got emotionally exhausting to see what next calamity would fall the woobies.

They were in a happy place in 9 but I knew there were 7 more eps and it would likely involve him pushing her away again and I didn't think I could emotionally deal.

I do plan to finish it eventually but in small doses...

I remember abandoning Green Rose after, like, 2 episodes a while back, but your commentary gave me hope, so I ff'ed through most of the beginning last night. The first 9 episodes were so terrible, just because I am not one for continual PAIN (of the unromantic sort). It is getting much better, now that revenge is on the way and angst by the bucketful. I think I shall ff'ing w/ ep. 10, ahahha.

The main couple is good together, though. Main guy is smoking hot and such acting! And Lee Da Hae has never looked better. Straight hair is so GOOD for her. *loves*

*shall STOP ff'ing w/ ep.10

Actually, I liked the pain stuff (though yeah, I did find it heartbreaking to watch at some point…so much misery) because it was rare to see a drama that wasn’t primarily romantic in its pain and yet worked. But yeah, it was getting me depressed, I admit. It got a bit draggy for a few eps there when he was in China. Necessary in retrospect to establish the secondary characters, but still draggy. I agree though that I enjoy the part where he comes back and everything onwards the most. It really picked up amazingly. The previous stuff was IMO good but so (understandably) depressing, I was just a bit too emo over it.

Main couple is awesome, agreed. It’s the first thing I’ve seen Go Soo in but I want to see more. He angsts soooo well and does that emo-tortured-passionate-eyes thing I love really well. And LDH is luminous in this one. It’s so weird to see her so serious but it works.
