Okay so FINALLY got a chance to watch the first episode!!!! I know it just came out yesterday but I've been waiting for MONTHS 😆

Okay so total love. this show is freakin hilarious!!!!! Not to mention, its exactly what I've been waiting for...*praying to the drama gods, please dont ruin this!* Awesome pace, hiliarious antics and seriously the two most finest actors!!

Ps. post might contain spoilers!
Kim Soo Hyun - I'm sorry, if aliens are this hot, sign me up for the next alien abduction😳 Can we get some chocolate abs up in here!

Okay so now that the elephant in the room has been cleared...gosh I love this dude. I was a bit hesistant with him pulling off the role of a professor but he definitely delivered and I was invested in his character - stoic alien and all.

Jeon JI Hyun Comeback!!! - they don't call this woman a hallyu star for nothing. She's freakin hilarious!!!😆 Her character was a little flat for me at the beginning but half way through the episode I was all in with her hilarious bathroom singing and moaning to her neighbour about her ridiculous apples and brussel sprouts diet LMAO. Chick is a basket case, and I love basket cases😆

All in all, super happy with this episode, hoping it continues and cannot wait for the chemistry that awaits these two...if any of you saw theives, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about😆

they're so freakin cayooottt!!

I thought the first episode was just decent..The skinship was great to watch in the start! But, I am still skeptical about this drama! I don't know why it didn't make a huge impact on me on the first episode! I will wait for 3-4 more episodes to see how this drama will move ahead..I was kinda bored though watching this one..may be it will grow on me..

I think my main problem are the leads...alrite I may get bashed for saying this..but the leads don't just click for me..I have loved the lead actor since Dream High..I have no problem w/ him, but the pair just doesn't click for me, especially the actress..I have never seen her previous shows before, so I maybe judging her too hard, but when I see them together on one screen, they have zero chemistry..I just don't feel it..Very neutral about this pair..Let's see how the script part works out..

Maybe when we get more scenes, I will change my view, but for now I can't connect w/ this pairing at all..

Great shower scene though! I am not gonna complain on that! It kinda reminded me of When a Man Loves, where in the start we see Song Seung in the shower!😳

Definitely give them more episodes before expecting chemistry...AND watch The Thieves!!! 😆 they were pretty awesome in it and that's where I know they'll be good together in this! It's funny cause I actually felt the opposite...while Kim Soo Hyun is great, I havent been completely in love with his past roles as much...Jeon Ji Hyun reels me all the time...ps. HIGHLY suggest watching the movies "Windstruck" (2004), "My Sassy Girl" (2001) and "Il Mare" (2000) - the movies she's most known for in Korea...I think you'll really like her!

Yeah, I will give it a few more episodes...And, you know in most K dramas (at least the ones I have loved), even though the couple are not yet together, but when they are apart, yet on the same screen, one can still feel the simmering attraction and tension between the leads..That is what I meant, when I said chemistry b/c of course I realize no couple just gets on with being together in the start, it is just that that feeling when I watched these two together wasn't there. I felt this even in Heirs too w/ Tan and Eun Sang.

I guess K dramas just come to personal preferences in the end..😆

Heck, I feel more of that simmering sexual tension in The Prime Minister and I and Empress Ki. Yeah, I will definitely give this a few more episodes though. 😊

the elephant in the room was the towel covering the thing underneath his chocolate abs. gosh, such a tease. kidding! (or not)

who takes a shower with a towel on?

and I agree with your comments. I liked this show better than Miss Korea. This one is just easier to watch and it is part farce, part rom com which makes the characters way more likeable that its competitor. will watch miss korea as a marathon I think. If I watch with you from another star, I am bound to like it less.

It's funny, as I was reading reviews of the first episode online, everyone kept mentioning the "shower with a towel" and I agree...I don't get it, he's been living in Korea for 400 YEARS...he's been a doctor and a professor and still hasn't figured out how to shower😆

Oh directors, sometimes I just want to help you out.

Haven't checked out Miss Korea yet, shall do!
