Best Love/Greatest Love ended even better than I remembered it. There were tears, laughter and the absolute pleasure of watching a good rom-com.
Now this may not be for everyone since the male lead is a quirky and excessive character but Cha Seung Won is a very good actor who knows how to balance comedy and melo and manages to give it just the right note and make it work. The female lead on the other hand is completely grounded and moderate and the actor Gong Hyo Jin is more of a realistic/natural type of actor and those two different acting styles complement each other very nicely.
The secondary male is most probably the best in Korean Drama history (yes, he is even better than the one in Brilliant Inheritance). Yoon Kye Sang is not only very good looking (in that hunky adorkable way that doesn't exist in real life) but he is a good actor completely in tune with the rest of the cast.
The secondary female acted by Yoo In Na is not as developed as the others but I'm happy to say that she is not that completely evil bitch you want to slap while watching the drama.
I love the rest of the cast, the conflicts and the jabs at the Korean entertainment industry (which is very similar to Turkish one).
Lee Seung Gi cameo was so so good that they actually made a commercial out of it later on :)
Meanwhile Gizli Anların Yolcusu is getting weirder and weirder (a middle aged man suddenly turning gay after finding out that his soul mate is a younger man who is actually under his employ) and I don't care for any of the characters but I'm curious about where the story will lead to. Actually a major plot point is revelaed at the beginning and the novel so far has been a flashback.
