I had hopes for it at first - liked the first few eps - but it never went anywhere interesting. No, Big is worse. Big was so boring it should have been used for a sleep aide.
It's really fluffy so if that's not your thing, I'd avoid it. I thought was cute overall but then again, I have questionable taste in dramas and I like fluff. ;)
I love fluff, ridiculously much esp if I find it zany and I'm in the mood.
I think I'll check out an ep and see if there is anything buggin me. My question for you is, IF I like say first 1, 2 eps, does Show stay samesame throughout?
From what I remember (this is the thing with fluff, it doesn't really linger) it is pretty consistent when it comes to its tone, vibe, storytelling (which can be a bit silly at times).
I do agree with DM that the plot doesn't really go anywhere special. It sort of stays on one level. But that's pretty much what I expected based on the genre it's in.
I just checked out an ep and I quite like it for sth check-brain-at-door and paying attention on and off, very jdorama-ish and for once a Kdrama fluffy trendy using music not annoyingly.
I'll just keep my expectation low and stop whereever I feel like it's not doing it for me. ^^
Yeah, I'm hitting myself for the silliness of dl'ing the wrong drama, 16 eps of it. ARGH! But then it seems more stupid if it's watchable and I delete 16 hours of freshly dl'd stuff
Nth will come close to ILICDD for me haha, u know it chingu and I think for a freakishly long while in the future.
I liked it more than AWC, which in itself it's perfect. BUT this one has more to offer in other grounds AWC didn't.
I can't give a comment on ILICDD yet because I have yet to find the perfect channel to watch it T___T I did Chrome and all, but my "speedy" internet line just doesn't help.
I may end up just waiting for it to come out on DVD or something. Just can't afford to stream something that moves.so.freaken.slow.
I wish someone had given me the heads up on 'I Live in Cheongdam Dong' when it started so I'd been able to dl the epis. The older ones are not available any more. *sniffle* Streaming sucks!
I couldn't stand most of the characters in FBRS (Eun Bi especially annoyed the hell out of me) and it turned out to be too plotless, fluffy and OTT to my taste so I gave up around ep 6 or so.
SUFBB on the other hand was wonderful! Such a well done coming of age story and I loved the whole cast of characters.
I torrented the early raw ILICDD eps fine last wk. Do you mind torrenting? The prob w/ the early eps: they r a bit funky audiowise and the vid may not be the usual HD we're used to.
I'm up to FBRS3, It's not too offensive as I've shut down my brains and then there's that scene w/ EunBi and her Appa that kills me. I'm a sucker for appa/daughter heart-tugging.
But I can totally see it going nowhere and OTT already, now that I read the synopsis, and see how the ramyun shop comes into play...not sth terribly interesting.
I've decidedly become a lot less accommodating when it comes to dramas and annoying characters. Eun Bi fair made me want to slap her all through the first few epis and I didn't warm up to her later on either. Chi Soo was only markedly less annoying. I can take certain amount of OTT but it depends on how it's done. Take e.g Tiger&Dragon which is one of my fave j-drmas. It's very OTT at times but I still loved it and the kooky characters.
I miss the SUFBB kids! It's funny how attached to them I became, it was uncommonly hard to let go. I still get this 'twang' in my heart when I think about them, as if I had to say goodbye to bunch of people I know for real. Odd.
Hope u can get your hands on ILICDD, it honestly is the best drama I've seen in probably my entire life. :D

*siggggghhhh* this is exactly what I'm feeling right now for the ILICDD gang. TT_____TT
I actually enjoyed FBRS a lot. It was genuinely funny in a very kdrama/cracky way. I agree that Eun Bi's character didn't make sense at times, but she redeemed herself at the end in my eyes. Also JIW is so ridiculously crazy in that drama, it was a joy to watch him! Oh and also watch out for steamy kimchi kissing scenes :) Nothing too serious but definitely comforting.
Yeah, it's been cracking me up here and there 3 eps in, not too bothered fr EunBi's flakiness from the get go, totally expected. I think the character is written very out there but Lee ChungAh is handling it quite alright considering. I have much more rants on Lee MinJung in BIG, it was like she didn't exhale once with the glaring whole drama long.
ohhhh I'm not at kimchi kissing! There's some hot space invasion fr JIW's ChiSoo towards EunBi that got me fluttery. JIW seems shakier though, I don't think he's getting the zany, seems a bit lost and not sure with what he's doing. I'm totally not feeling Lee KiWoo. If the boys r not stepping up the game, I think I'll drop it when it stops being entertaining.
Yeah, I don't think JIW is that great of an actor. Eye candy and ridiculousness in the form of Cha Chi Soo but not much else.
I was actually meaning to rewarch it because it was such a fun and comforting drama for me (I also followed it around Christmas time, all those kisses and ramyun foodporn are superbly appropriate for that season)
I don't know if you've watched Secret Garden? I'm guessing yes since you are a Binnie fan :) But yeah FBRS reminded me of SG. Both have a neurotic guy falling for a girl after admiring her physical prowess and being in denial about it. Except Cha Chi Soo is a more lovable character to me and imho everything is funnier and more poignant in FBRS.
I dun mind things not perfect in sth as fluffy, but I got to ep7(?) and he's totally out of his element, methinks.
Ohhhhh yessss, I've seen SG, not my cup of Earl Grey. :/ MY biggest peeve with SG is HJW's character, absolutely the most aggravating specimen of my sex I've seen faking as some 'strong woman'. And Binnie's char is not just certifiably neurotic (he needs meds, I vaguely recall)but a stalker and commits offenses suchas abduction even if he would've got off scott free with the insanity defense and obscene amt of $$$$. HB is sooo much better at his craft, yet SG is not funny to me esp in the latter half.
