Rewatched or to Rewatch

Still fun the second time around. The first meeting of the two leads is just as enjoyable in review.

Even better the second time around, as I didn't have to experience the angst of not knowing what was going to happen next. I could fully enjoy the expressions, especially Yoon Ji Hoo's glares at those who dared to hurt Geum Jan Di.  I've read that Lee Min Ho cringes at his acting of Goo Joon Pyo, but I enjoyed his raw, inexperienced state; it fit the character.  On a second viewing, I appreciated the character of Song Woo Bin more and wish he'd been more fully incorporated into the story. Of the F4 boys, he is the only one who wasn't given a growth arc or direction.

I see this on many favorites lists, but the broad comedy didn't appeal to me. I'll try it again sometime in the future when I'm in the right mood.

To rewatch. For some reason, I didn't love this as much as other viewers. Sometimes, a drama just hits a wrong time and mood.

UPDATE: I rewatched and my previous 6.5 star rating was a bit harsh. I must not have been in the right frame of mind to enjoy it the first time. It's still not my favorite drama, but I've given it an extra star. 

For fluff, MSR fits the bill. A second viewing isn't as enjoyable, because there isn't much to the drama that wasn't caught the first time around. I did enjoy the song "Same" that played throughout. 

To rewatch.  I loved this the first time. Let's see if it's just as magical the second time.
