    Your first picture resonates with me more right now. I mean at first when people were going gaga over ‘who’s the main lead’? And how min ho will be the main lead once half of the show is over, I was very confident at that time that ye is the one. Because remember that first episode when ye appears at the end, and from the start, the writer tried to show that everyone ridicules her, but the only one who takes her seriously is ye. But then I thought, if that’s how the story going to be like, then this would be almost the same as her previous drama ‘drinking solo’ [ I mentioned before how this story totally parallels drinking solo’s script] So I thought maybe people are right. Maybe min ho ‘is’ the one, since half of the episode is focused on him! But it just kept getting worse. And even by episode 15-16, the shitty writer had nothing much to say so she made min ho look like the saddest loser ever. First, she tried to kill him off with a motorcycle, and then she made him look like a jerk. I wonder how this script even got a yes from tvn. Also judging from the rating we can see that it has not been an audience favorite. The actor playing ye doesn’t have that appeal that a main lead is supposed to have. It’s no wonder that people were rooting for jang dong yoon lol.
    Anyway feel free to ignore the rant. I have just watched some clips from ep 16. And it’s plain crap as usual. Fast forward as much as you can. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Should I try to watch ep 16 for fudge’s sake?

  3. I have no will to watch the final episode since everyone is saying that minho and namwoo didnโ€™t get a proper closure..like basically they donโ€™t even know the conclusion of their story.. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  4. Me too i don’t think im gonna watch this last epi. Or just watch minho’s part idk. Oh & yeah i will never watch this writer’s drama again. Never !

  5. I just realized I’m gonna be watching another Lee Joon Hyuk drama, ARE YOU HUMAN (Too)? Atleast Seo Kang Jun is definitely the main lead and LJH is just supporting.

  6. @sansukuni i am looking forward to the new seo kang jun drama! i mean i havenโ€™t actually seen him act outside of roommates haha LJH would have made a good robot

    has anyone watched ep 16 yet? reading the comments on soompi for any actual conclusions was a waste. i still havenโ€™t watched 15 either

  7. @Mai I love him in Cheese in the Trap and like him in Cunning Single Lady. Although he’s second lead in both. I haven’t seen him in anything else. I’m just curious about the premise based on the new trailers. it kinda reminds me of Zettai Kareshi in one of the new trailer.

    I haven’t seen ep 14 to 16 yet. I don’t think I’ll watch eventhough I’m not attached to any new dramas yet and Hana Nochi Hare’s english sub is slower than a snail. What are you watching?

  8. I am dropping this then. I watched 4 eps of it. Now I am done with it!

    I survived 32 eps of The great seducer. (I can achieve such feats when there is a pretty face on screen!) Oh dear what a mess it was! Just when I thought how bad can it get they the hero an ugly hair style in the last scene!

    What you watching next?

  9. I watched the complete drama… and I don’t regret watching the first ten episodes. The rest though… umph… For me it all went downhill the moment the Motorcycle of Doom appeared. The flow has changed, the characters changed, Boyoung even changed her way of weeping / fanning… stories stopped… and what the author did to the young boy trio was terrible (not only Minho was slaughtered and abandoned)… now I remember I didn’t like the last two episodes of Drinking Solo either… Anyway, thanks for all your posts and analyses… it was allways good reading! And Minho for ever!!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜

  10. @STAYGOLD
    APAD is not that bad as long as you don’t get caught up with shipping anyone.

  11. @Dorotka
    They really didn’t give Minho and NW a conclusion? This writer and the writer of Cheese in the Trap (drama) must be friends. I remember in CITT, they suddenly gave more airtime to Baek Inho (Seo Kang Joon) ang gave Park Hae Jin’s character a crappy open ending.

  12. @sanukini Ah! I was already low key shipping Minho with BY! The actor playing Dr Ye left a deep impression in SF and I kept thinking why this jerk (in SF) is her hero here! My limitations of course, nothing wrong with the actor!

  13. took me such a long time to see the last two episodes. Boring, as expected but no surprise. What did took me off guard and annoyed me was that MinHo wasn’t even given 5 minutes to confess in private. Dr. Ye had to pop up.
    MinHo didn’t give BoYoung the book.
    BoYoung did not start writing her own poetry.
    In the end I’m confused who the one who forgot poetry is supposed to be..
    But hey, at least Joo Young & DefCon had a run to each other’s arms moment. After Joo Young acted like a jerk. LOL

  14. I still haven’t seen it Oli!
    Does MH get to confess to BY at all? Or does he just tell Dr. Ye his feelings!?

  15. We were right guys! The PD did confess in an interview that the writer changed the storyline according to what the audiences wanted (sigh). He thought there was 80% chance minho was the endgame but then people wanted to see by and ye so they kinda ruined minhoโ€™s character so the yeline could sail. Lol http://mosen.mt.co.kr/article/G1110903035#imadnews

  16. @Boradori
    Fudge! That interview really gave me high blood pressure. Thank you PD-nim. Way to ruin the flow of the story by changing the otp at almost the end. Like there was no meaning to all of those earlier episodes at all. But this interview makes me yearn for an alternate ending, like how is it really supposed to end if he was not pressured. Be a man and stay true to what you want to narrate. Don’t let the viewers dictate if your story is solidly made.

  17. Man, I feel sorry for Jang Do Yoon. Poor puppy. In the interview, the writer said that the actor who played Dr. Ye is a really good actor. I agree when it comes to his other projects, but not in APAD. He’s totally bland here.

  18. @sansukini i know rightt.. now I kinda want a season 2 where by and minho as a couple and ye is totally out of the story lol

    I bet jang dong yoon couldnโ€™t say anything and just accepting whatever the writer and PD asked him to do since he is quite a rookie actor.. too bad because his chemistry and lee yoo bi was so amazing making me feel a bit regretful that their characters not end up together..

    And I agree lee joon hyuk is totally bland here in APAD. I cannot feel for dr ye at all. I donโ€™t know how people can see his chemistry with by since I struggled so much to see it

  19. Mai, MinHo does confess, but as soon as he says 1-2 sentences Dr. Ye appears and takes Bo Young away. It’s made to look like MinHo is a jerk again for not letting go, for questioning her love for Dr. Ye because she hides things from him. MinHo is portrait as selfish for insisting..
    @Boradori read that interview with google translate feature but yeah.. So annoying when writers change a story in the middle of it to please viewers. No wonder it all felt artificial toward the end.
    But you know what this PD is telling when he says he had to (HAD TO,pfft) make MinHo look like a jerk to make Dr Ye & Bo Young end game? That their pair means nothing. If your love only makes sense if the other men interested in you are jerks than what sort of best match is that really?

  20. Yes oli you are totally right.. ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ช I dunno what this writer is thinking.. actually there is one kind person who translated this article full in english.. I found it in the latest open thread comment on dramabeans.. but you have to scroll down all the comments to read it ๐Ÿ˜…
    http://www.dramabeans.com/2018/05/open-thread-552/

  21. Hello everyone ive been trying to avoid from any website or forum about this drama except here. Omg so minho supposed to be the end game ksjdjxjxjd im so pissed off. So we were in the right ship guys sigh i hate writer to the max

  22. Here I copied the translated part about Jang Dong Yoon, c/o fan from DB.

    Han said he was โ€œSorryโ€ to Jang Dong-yoon who played Sin Min-ho who frustrated Bo-young(and us) with one-sided love. โ€œI was sorry because Jung Dong-yoon ssiโ€™s character was cursed. There was some part changed from what we planned. As viewers wanted the loveline with Ye Jae-wook, the story went that way. We didnโ€™t decide that loveline in the beginning. Actually there were 80% possibility Sin Min-ho was the person. But as we took the path of loveline with Ye, Min-ho character became annoying, and because of him, Ye Jae-wook was able to shine more. In a sense, Jang Dong-yoon ssi made sacrifice. Jang Dong-yoon si looks girly outwardly, but actually he has various licenses including emergency medical technician and Scuba diving. Also he does work-out, so he has good build. I only found out while filming, but he is actually very manly. He already finished his army duty. He is strong actor.โ€œ Han said Jang also did action scenes without using double.”

  23. oh my god reading that article again made me so mad!! hahaha I bet I dont really move on from this drama hahaha pity me. can you guys imagine how great this drama will be if the writer stick with her own inital plan? she should have some faith in her own writing.. I need season 2! hmm mybe not..because I’ve vowed not to watch this writer’s drama again.. but actually her writing is okay for me..it’s just losing its direction after ep 10..

    p/s: I miss packmule, where is she? Is she going somewhere?

  24. Omg can’t believe this. This means we were right guys! We were on the right direction! I feel so mad right now!
    That’s why we never saw why min ho rejected her in the past.
    That’s why we never saw him giving bo young the book.
    I bet Jang Dong Yoon is pretty upset right now. What a disgusting treatment to an actor.

  25. what the f… we are right about minho. but writer messing with storyline because of viewers lol
    the choice was so stupid.
    that why we felt something going wrong with other couple. like they are force to be together lol

  26. @boradori
    I posted this interview on soompi, and waiting how the Yeline will attack. Hehehe. I’m hoping MH supporters will speak. The Yeline kept giving raves on how BY-YE’s relationship goes but I really never saw any chemistry. The writer maybe made the change of direction from Minho to Ye in desperate hope that the ratings will go up.
    When I started APAD, I thought it would be one of those dramas that will always have a place in my fave drama list, but now, I’ll remember it aa one of those dramas that annoyed me.

  27. @sansukini same heree.. I also thought this drama could be one of my favourites but then the writer ruined it when she changed the plot..๐Ÿ˜ช I cannot imagine how great this drama will be if she sticks to the original.. minho and boyoung could be the cutest couple ever..

    Too bad I donโ€™t have soompi account if not I will defense my minho there huhu..

  28. Packmule is on vacay/work trip or something if I recall.. this show also probably gave her high blood pressure so I’m sure she needs a break lol

    I FEEL LIKE MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS NOW SO HIGH knowing that the writer changed the script at the last minute.. LIKE WHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY I still haven’t watched 15 or 16 yet, so I can’t comment too much. I’m emotionally wrecked from this drama lol. I felt like the first half of the drama and even towards the end still had so much potential, so much meaning but it was all thrown away at the end and I’m questioning why MH’s character was built up if he was just going to get discarded in the end. As you guys have said, I think this would have been my ULTIMATE drama had the writer stuck w/ the original plan. Everything was carefully crafted and beautiful up to like ep 11/12 where we’re all like ‘huh, what happened?!’ le sigh.

    Right now I am not watching any dramas. Just a bunch of Korean tv shows to make me laugh like It’s Dangerous outside the blankets and Knowing Brother. Maybe in some time I’ll watch My Ahjussi, Suits, My Lawless Lawyer? Anyone watch those so far?

  29. Maybe in some time Iโ€™ll watch My Ahjussi, Suits, My Lawless Lawyer? Anyone watch those so far?

    I’m liking the drama Come and Hug Me, so far. It’s melo and thriller but the first 2 episodes are really done well, especially since the actors are great, esp the serial killer Dad is super creepy. And loving j-doramas Hana Nochi Hare and Kahogo no Kahoko.

    I haven’t seen any of the above dramas but I tried watching Investigation Couple but dropped it coz the female girl is annoyingly self centered as a prosecutor, and also dropping Rich Man coz I can’t help myself comparing it to the original.

  30. Make sure you prepare a box of tissues beside you before watching my ahjuhshi, you’ll need it ๐Ÿ˜ญ It’s worth watching, gave a lots of feel and good quotes (if you love one)-slight motivation too. My ahjuhshi or my mister portray humanity kind of love..the best part is there is no skinship or physical attraction needed in defining love in this series. The cast and even in the drama itself had 20years age gap but worries not we all. can feel the love shoot out from their eyes ๐Ÿ‘€.

    I dropped suit at epsd 6.. waiting for it unfold till epsd 16 first before continuing watching as its so identical to original version but less impactful. (Still can’t bear Harvey,Mike,Jessica,Louis and Donna)-its so damp.

    Gave a try on About time- successfully amazed myself on romantic-fantasy drama.

    I am kind of hoping PM3 would watch this show and then I would have the option of seeing all the things I missed from PM3's amazing interpretations. ๐Ÿ˜€
    Sansukini go for my mister! I think you're gonna love it. It's very slice of life and a humane drama. But I kind of couldn't help seeing them as perfect for each other at the end. But there are shippers and there are those who saw this relationship as a platonic one. So you wouldn't be disappointed. ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. What is My Ahjussi about exactly? I’ve seen raves about this drama but I dunno…

  33. Sansukini
    Either you’re depressed or in favour of mellows drama-my mister is good to go.
    It’s about JiAn who had miserable life living almost like a walking dead to pay off her father old loans from the loan shark, what make it worse she is all alone without parents or relatives but one old grandmother she need to take care of. (her grandmother was disabled person)

    While the male lead is the manager at Saman E&C (where JiAn work as temporary staff) Park DongHoon were just like typical married man whose boring as hell but loyal to his wife. He got two brother (older and younger) His older brother was declared bankruptcy when. his p
    business out of shape and his wife left him (but never divorced) and his younger brother was a failed movie director who didn’t even succeed in produce one single movie (you need to watch the details later or its no fun)

    So, in most unpredictable ways JiAn and DongHoon compliment each other, they meet and become closer.(but don’t expect it to be like those instence sexy scandals old man and younger lady relationship) but one with very promising one-you’ll know when you watch it. Its roller coaster ride-in a good way ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
