Though I dont like the dramas where all episodes have different stories but at the same time very similar and the main story is in second place I really liked the first episodes of Master´s Sun.

Some stories were very interesting and I was liking of the romance but in a point this romance did not make sense anymore. The main couple was ver inmature, they looked like 30´s years adults but they acted like teneegers, the conversations all the time was about the same and not important. The main male character was very very arrogant and in the most part of the drama he had no respect for the main female character, in the beginig he was insulting her in many ways and then he did not respect her decisions.

The second couple was also the same, Kang Woo was very harsh and gross to Yi Ryung.

I really dont undestant this kind of love in the korean dramas. It seems that being a snooty and a jerk is seen as a quality for a man and them can treat to the woman as a ownship. The worst is when this happans because the male protagonist dont want to admit that he loves the female protagonist and it is so stupid and childish.

When this happens in a drama, I immediately lose interest.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH PEOPLE?

I started watching this drama because of people's comments and I saw some episodes and I liked the story: A man who dies and his soul (in another body) struggles to get his family back; but he falls in love with the beautiful wife of his new body (whom he just met) and many people see this well because she is pretty.

If actresses swapped roles, people wouldn't think the same, I don't care about the ending. It's a superficial drama: A man who loves his family and his wife contemplates leaving them for a rich family and a beautiful wife he just met.

Disappointed

I had enough expectation in this series. In many of the sites where I have read reviews and opinions about it, they consider it practically a masterpiece, or at least a very good series. The synopsis also caught my attention and because it was short (10 episodes of 1 hour) I decided not only to give it a chance but to watch it with all my family.

The first episode promised a lot but then the second episode gets a little boring (one scene in particular) and some episodes that follow are good and others not that much.

I consider that the idea is good but it is not well consolidated, I feel that it lacked strength. There are some antagonistic characters that are endearing but because there is not such a solid plot, they are not well used. There are also other characters that are left over and that do not contribute to the development or conclusion of the plot.

--------------Spoiler:
The perfomance of the dentist did not seem entirely convincing to me. I think the actor did not do a good job; he looks a little over-reacted.

The young police did nothing in the entire series. She spent all the episodes investigating but practically discovered nothing. In the end they kidnap her and she can't solve anything either.

I did not like the end: I think the transformation of the protagonist happens very quickly, practically from one episode to another. That is, if he is uncomfortable with everything and has an aggressive personality, but that is from the beginning; I do not see a slow transition of his personality that justifies the end (a slow transition where even he does not perceive what is happening to him), because if he was uncomfortable he could have left or looked for another solution. I feel like he goes crazy almost suddenly.

I would have liked another justification for what was happening because at one point I thought it was something paranormal since the dentist follows all of them almost at the same time anywhere and also he worked. I do not understand how he combined to follow so many people, work and kill at the same time.

I believed that the dentist was a character in the novel he was writing and at the same time an alternate personality of his, one he used to unleash his aggressiveness.

Boring and unbearable

I couldn't finish it, but I watched 13 of 16 chapters.

The story is very empty, it is practically only about them falling in love with each other, nothing else, and even that is a awful because when he is already in love with her, he treats her badly and that is supposed to make us laugh. That happens not only in this Drama but in many Korean ones, where it is supposed to be fun to treat people badly and even more if he/she is a person you like.

When it was not he who mistreated her, it was she who mistreated him, either physically or verbally, for no other reason than "I like she/he and I don't want to admit it." This type of reasoning is absurd for me and makes any series, no matter how good it is, start to annoy me, and adding to the fact that this one does not even have a plot (only that the protagonist is chubby) it makes it unbearable to watch it.

Even the funny moments are not worth it.

It is a love story but is not about lovers.

Reading the synopsis one might believe that it is a story about two lovers and their forbidden love, but the drama really focuses on the married couple Yi Zhen (Tien Hsin) and Shao Wen (Christopher Lee) and the decline of their marriage apparently perfect.

Shao Wen is the only son (man) in a fairly conservative family who only understands women as wife, mother and housewife, and who places great importance on society. Shao Wen is an architect who works hard to fulfill his dream, to have his own high-level studio (which he already has), a dream that his father demeans.

Yi Zhen is also an architect, with big dreams in her youth. By marrying Shao Wen, she is reduced to the role of a wife, renouncing her own personality to accommodate that of her husband and that of his family. Also, and although, Shao Wen loves his wife, dedicating all his time and efforts to work has created an abyss in their relationship. When she meets Shang En, a man who sees life differently than her husband, she wonders for the first time if she is happy with him and with the life she leads.

The story maybe starts a little slow but as it goes it gains strength. It makes us put in the place of each of the spouses and understand their positions and decisions.

Definitely the best-built character and the one that has the most emotional charge is Shao Wen (Christopher Lee won an award for that role) who suddenly sees his idyllic world fall apart (he was not aware of the loneliness and frustrations of his wife) and tries to get his wife back while dealing with pressure from his family.

The soundtrack is very beautiful. Some lyrics are suitable for the moment that characters are living.

The actors perform very well, again highlighting Christopher Lee who does a great performance (I knew him in this drama).

It is a 100% life drama story; it has no comedy, suspense, fantasy, etc. It is just the story of a ruined marriage.


----------------- spoiler:

The best is the end: pretty touching.

It made me very sad how Shao Wen loses everything. He gives the woman he loves and his (not yet born) daughter to another man, and he loses his studio due to the debt he acquired in an outburst (trying to get back his wife) and the pressure of his father.

In the end he remarries, he is going to have a kid and remains a recognized architect, but he is not married to the woman he loves but the ideal for his parents, he is not going to have the son of the woman he loves, and he is not the owner of his own studio but his father's pawn. However, he still is considered a good son by his parents and to have learned to be a good husband.

He could have "broken" relationships with his family and defended his marriage, but we know the importance of family and the feeling of duty towards parents in Asia.

Good but....

I really enjoyed this drama. The main characters were very funny and had chemistry, the story was good and funny too, but I think it got lost after episode 28 when they broke up; At that time I really hated the characters a lot, mainly the main character: he did not want to marry her and she was all the time clinging to him pressuring him to marry her, she moved out and she was marry her ex. boyfriend and he did nothing, it was she who moved back and left her fiancé and when they got back he still didn't want to marry her, and all the people pressured him to marry until the last episode.

I didn't like the other couple, I don't understand how a person can want to go back with a liar. Infidelity can be forgiven (I would not forgive it) but a lie cannot. I mean, she didn't realize the infidelity because he told her, therefore he could cheat on her for much longer. Then when She kick him out, he move out with his lover.

About the main couple, I would rather that he understood that he loved her very much and wanted to marry her without the pressure of the other people, or that they didn't marry .

And on the second couple, I would prefer they divorce.
