my ajumma notes

Omo, a show  dripping  with romance and a huge dose of screen time for a handsome face!  Hong-jo (Cho Bo-ah) and Shin-yoo (Rowoon) are very cute and sweet, and their past-life relationship is intense and moving.   People and praises I saw many comments praising Rowoon to the skies.  Fandom can be amusing.  He was fine, but I don’t think it was all that difficult to stand around looking handsome and aloof, or speak coldly to people.  It was nice to see him come to some life when Shin-yoo is with Hong-jo.  There were also comments praising his comedic timing.  Errr… it is all scripted, right?  He just needs to follow the script properly.  We don’t know how much they practised, or how many takes it took to get a scene just right.  I think it is more the script, characterisation and juxtaposition of his character with others that do the job.  Thank you, scriptwriter, for giving...
