Hey there! :] I'm new, so I thought I'd introduce my self, but I also would like to get some opinions on the drama Love or Bread. Does anyone else find it to be dragging a bit? I mainly wanted to get into because I find the chemistry between the two main leads to be good, as shown in It Started With A Kiss, but although the interactions between the two are really amusing and fun to watch, I just find the story to be a little slow. I'm going to continue to watch to see if it picks up, but can anyone tell me, without giving away spoilers, if it picks up at all? Or will it be somewhat slow paced until nearer the end?
Other than that, I find Joe Cheng's expressions to be hilarious, and absolutely adorable. xD It's a very nice change from his stoic and cold personality in ISWAK.
EDIT: Just realized that this series is only 12 episodes long, and I'm already on episode 7, so I'm thinking I might be a little disappointed with the ending. :C
