This drama is worth it
I really enjoyed this drama a lot, with the 3 main characters all having strong internal lives and familial connections which make their initially pathetic or annoying actions incredibly understandable. I will say - don't judge this drama on its first episode! I personally loved the initial dynamic as it sets up the love triangle in a really interesting way.This drama is really a love triangle drama, as well. As far as I can tell, every single character was in a love triangle, whether it was requited or unrequited, and each triangle was a barrel of laughs. I really enjoyed the familial aspects as well - this is a drama about love, and loving people, and the joy that can bring. The acting is superb, the writing is hilarious, the soundtrack is fun, and the characters are deep.
Overall, I strongly recommend watching this drama.

There were situations which were funny in itself but truthfully isn't a laughing matter at all in real life but the writers made it watchable. The actors were topnotch and very relatable. They all did their roles very well. The tension within the love triangle is so palpable and heart-wrenching. This is one of those dramas that will pull you strongly to cheer for the second male lead. Of course, the main male lead also has redeeming factors that will convince you that he does deserve the female lead's love. I can not say enough good things about the main female lead's acting. She's so adorable, fun to watch and endearing.
The other love story arc was also fun to watch too! This was a really enjoyable drama to watch and I totally recommend it!

Fun, sweet, funny, and addictive
I loved this drama so much!! It was one of those shows where you want to binge all the episodes, but at the same time want to savor and watch each episode slowly so you never have to finish it. Both the main characters and the secondary characters where well developed. I enjoyed each little and big story being told. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and tearing up the next. I normally HATE a love triangle ( and this drama has multiple) but it was done well and it didn’t take away from the show. The only criticism I can give is I wish they would have shown the losers of the triangles happy in the future. There weren’t any “ bad guys” in the show so I wanted everyone to be happy. So seeing them happy in some way would have been the Chef’s Kiss ( pun intended) . I definitely recommend this drama to all Kdrama fans! It has a little bit of everything!Was this review helpful to you?

Not everyone laughs at this
The FL acts like a bully, it's painful to watch that. She has no charm or intellect, I sure hope she will never be an announcer.The first ML was very very good and at ease in his role in Hospital Playlist, but this role doesn't use his natural abilities - he is a great singer and dancer, great with kid actors, and his jokes land perfectly. This role is something else - I've never seen anything as tastless as trying to combine cancer hospital visits with slapstick. Eww. And the other ML was a great Greatest Deliveryman, but he is totally unrelatable as a chaebol boss. He is very good at looking nice and schoolboyish, but bosses very seldom look like that. Also, the dress he made didn't flatter the FL's skin tone and was too big for her. That is a mistake I've never seen in a K-Drama before.
The older charcters, mom, grandma, sister-in-law and the impotent cook are a bit more interesting and also very good looking, so I will finish this for their sake.

So disappointing
I absolutely love the acting talent of two main leads. I especially love GHJ. She is my favorite Korean actress/actor. And JJS is extremely charismatic in all of his roles. He just makes you want to keep watching as he fills the screen with energy.However, I had to drop this one. The beginning was so messy and confusing, with all three of the characters in the love triangle just yelling at each other constantly. There was no character development or exploration, only yelling. And there were so many sexist lines. It was over the top and immature. And there were too many silly misunderstandings, which is a trope I'm not into in dramas. I couldn't continue.

Unlikable main character
I hate indecisive female leads and I can't tolerate two good looking rich handsome guys fighting over a " not so charming" woman like dogs.. that dog shit of bull. I personally think it would have watchable if the 2nd ml was not there or the love triangle was not dragged till the end.I know most people hates ml. I watched only 5 episodes and ml is the only character who can make you laugh. That breast scam scene!!. Omg. Ml's character is only interesting eccentric character that has some color. Fl is Mary Sue and 2nd is a good looking statue(= 0 charisma). Him falling in love with the fl was one of the cringest portion ever... If you want to watch a love triangle watch something like " sound of the desert" where fl falls in love both guys not because she is indecisive or a player or a dense character. Because of circumstances which she had no control over..
But here, it's so pathetic to watch.. gross

it was superpoliished like a movie, as a drama rule it was dragged but if you love characters like pyo na ri and lee hwa shin it would be a great drama. its all about connecting to the characters. although there were supporting roles they didn't interest me much so i used to skip the part.
please watch it only if you are person who can cry for 1-2 episodes then you will feel like really connected .
songs step step suran and brothersu were awesome i really liked them and whenever bgm played i was like smiling.
it is worth watching once

Awful leads
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I thought it'd be funny and I like the idea of an open relationship between the leads, something different finally, but I found the actors so off putting I could barely finish the first episode. I could have persevered but the thought of seeing them for another 15 episodes was unbearable. I'm not talking about the characters but about how uncharismatic are both actors.
2 The love triangle. Not surprising that there is one, it's in all K and Cdramas, but I hate the trope and it seems here is more prominent than usual so that's also a reason I didn't even move to the second episode.

Une grande déception....
Après un début prometteur, le drama devient ennuyant et tourne rapidement en rond.La première moitié, le drama est drôle et frais. On rit de bon coeur.
La deuxième partie est beaucoup moins drôle et est axée sur le triangle amoureux avec ses sempiternelles scènes de grosses larmes et de va-et-vient entre les deux leads.
Le sujet sur le cancer du sein chez l'homme était intéressant, je n'avais jamais entendu parler de ce type de cancer aux hommes (après une petite recherche sur la toile).
Je n'ai pas par contre accroché à l'univers des journalistes, moins que dans "Pinocchio".
Au départ, j'aimais bien le personnage de Pyo Na ri et son amour à sens unique pour Hwa Shin était touchant...c'était sans compter le syndrome du second lead .
Go Jung Won incarne à mes yeux un amoureux parfait : sexy, drôle, riche ( oui amour peut rimer avec argent hahaha), sincère, intelligent, bref, je l'avoue, j'ai pour une fois, ce qui n'arrive pas souvent, le syndrome du second lead. J'ai réellement souhaité jusqu'au bout que pour une fois, l'héroïne choisisse notre malheureux second. Alors quand elle finit par tromper Jung Won, cela n'était plus possible pour moi de continuer à regarder le drama avec le même état d'esprit.
Je suis mal à l'aise avec l'infidélité dans les dramas (question de principe pour ma part), je n'ai jamais compris ce besoin de le montrer et de le valoriser comme dans les séries US (encore une fois, question de principe pour moi), ce qui me m'incite encore à me montrer encore moins impartiale dans les dramas. Certains dramas pourtant comme "On the way to the airport" ou "before we get married" par exemple ont su me toucher malgré le thème de l'infidélité.
Alors oui, Hwa Shin a été son béguin pendant 3 ans. Mais. Qu'elle sorte avec son ami ensuite tout en "poursuivant", sous couvert de sa préoccupation pour son cancer, Hwa Shin, est absurde.
Elle m'a donné l'impression d'avoir utilisé Jung Won. Il ne faut pas se leurrer, Hwa Shin commence pratiquement par tomber amoureux d'elle à l'instant où son ami lui même la courtise. J'ai donc cette désagréable impression que Jung Won a été seulement mis ici pour déclencher les sentiments du héros. Encore une fois, habituellement, j'aime les personnages qui font avancer le couple principal (la jalousie étant un très bon moteur), mais pas ici.
Ce qui m'a encore plus rendue en colère (oui, oui certains dramas peuvent nous mettre en colère), pourquoi continue-t-elle (Pyo Na Ri) à tanguer entre ces deux-là jusqu'à la toute fin? Je ne pouvais pas concevoir qu'on puisse faire autant de mal à une personne. Bref, c'est peut-être ringard et vieux jeu de ma part, mais je ne peux pas, je peux pas comprendre ce jeu du chat et de la souris entre 2 hommes. Alors des dramas comme "on the way to the airport" qui traite de l'infidélité avec beaucoup de sensibilité ou " before we get married" où on voit pertinemment l'héroïne resister de toute ses forces sont tellement plus interessants que cette hésitation malsaine de Pyo Na ri.
Que dire de Hwa Shin? C'est typiquement le héros que l'on veut nous faire aimer, grognon avec un mauvais caractère. J'aime en général ce type de personnage mais pas ici. Il est trop. Ses mots envers Pyo na Ri sont acerbes, cyniques, et sexistes. Il la prenait souvent de haut et la rabaissant assez souvent, j'avoue ne pas avoir adhérer. Je riais au début. Je n'ai plus ri ensuite.
Et son amitié avec Go Jung Won? WTH? On ne touche pas à la petite amie de son pote. C'est la limite, selon moi à ne pas dépasser. Pyo Na Ri n'est pas maltraitée, n'est pas trompée, n'est pas malheureuse avec Go Jung Won. Je ne voyais aucune justification, si ce n'est qu'il est son amour à sens unique depuis 3 ans, de quitter Go Jung Won.
Un drama avec un très bon début et qui finit insidieusement par décevoir.

untuk drama yang keluar di tahun 2016, menurut gue sih jealously incarnate ini oke ya. walopun masih agak kebanting kalo dibandingin sama drama 2016 lain yang lebih 'banyak diomongin'. produksinya ya standar aja untuk tahun segitu. editing, grading dan tonenya juga masih ngasal. ngga ada poin khusus dalam tata kamera.jujur gue tertarik nonton jealously incarnate ini karena ratingnya yang tinggi, ripiyu yang mayoritas bagus dan yang jelas ada gong hyojin. gue naksir berat sama gong hyojin karena menurut gue, dia termasuk yang pinter dalam memilih peran. tiga project dia setelah drama ini tuh apik dan meninggalkan bekas yang susah hilang (it's okay that's love, when the camellia blooms, sama door lock). tapi kemudian, ternyata ekspektasi gue ke doski anjlok banget pas nonton jealously incarnate.
menurut gue di drama ini karakterisasi si female lead tuh ancyur parah (in a bad way). gatau kenapa, gue ngeliat pyo nari ini adalah sosok yang naif, polos, bulol alias bucin tolol, gampangan, a lil bit selfish, bawel dan ya gajelas bet dah pokoknya. gue marah banget ketika pyo nari dengan tololnya 'merasa polos dan bego' disaat kedua male lead ngerebutin dia. dia tuh sering banget mengalihkan pembicaraan dengan cengegesan anjrit pengen banget gue jambak rasanya heuheu ya allah maap jadi mengumpat.
dragged parah sih storylinenya. dari awal gue tau kalo pyo nari itu emang masih dan akan terus naksir ke lee hwasin. dia cuma denial dan coba mencari-cari sesuatu yang bikin dia merasa kalo dia ini suka sama go jungwon. jadi kasarnya mah si jungwon ini cuma jadi pelarian doang dak. di tengah-tengah, pas pyo nari bilang kalo dia naksir sama si dua lelaki ini, gue ngeliatnya malah kalo pyo nari ini kagak mau kehilangan orang yg naksir sama dia wicis itu annoying bgtt. masalahnya ye, gue merasa kayak pyo nari ini kaga pantes buat direbutin karena emang kagak ada 'pentolan' dalam karakternya ituloh. ya i kno irl everybody is deserved to be loved─tapi kalo di dalem drama kan seenggaknya mesti ada Lah yak satu biji mah. ini mah tajir engga, pinter banget juga engga, baik juga engga terlalu. yang ada tuh cuma cengeng dan lemah aja. DAN GUE GASUKA ITU. kenapa? karena sebuah tontonan itu merepresentasikan dunia nyata yang kemudian sedikit-sedikit bisa diambil sarinya. kalo di dalem drama ini kagak ada sama sekali sari yang bisa diambil.
udah gitu malah male leadnya toxic abis. gaslighting banget anjir. marah-marah ngebentak mulu. si pyo narinya juga nurut aja lagi, ngejar-ngejar terus. gue rasa ini ngga bener????? di tahun 2021 relationship kayak gini tuh udah ga sehat men.
sepuluh episode pertama masih enjoy banget gue nontonnya karna masih fun, masih ada lucu-lucunya─walopun humornya ditempatkan di saat yang kurang tepat si. jadi ketawanya agak ketir gitu. nah dari episode 10-19, buseet jahannam bgt alias AKDJADHEMOSI BUN. purely cuma soal cerita cinta segitiga dan pengkhianatan dalam persahabatan. but surprisingly ternyata dari episode 20-24 mulai ada peningkatan. mulai ada kepastian dari pyo nari (dari maren kek elah). isu soal kanker payudaranya juga diangkat lebih mantep. endingnya juga oke hehehe alhamdulillah untung gue kaga jadi drop tuh.
character development semua karakternya lama banget. cuma keliatan di empat episode terakhir. that's why kayaknya drama ini terlalu membuang-buang waktu.
go jungwon deserve someone better plis eungg uri good boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺 neeways ost di drama ini apik paraahhh bagus smua kusuka. dua jempol deh.

Que grata sorpresa
Esta serie me encanto, no porque su trama fuera extraordinaria, novedosa, me gusto porque es la tipica trama contada de una manera muy cómica. Yo rara vez me rio mucho en comedias romantica, pero esta esta muy bien echa, y creo que tiene que ver mucho con los actores, que sabían darle el tono adecuado para lograrlo. Siempre tengo que dejar pasar esa comedia exagerada, que ponen para cubrir el otro lado de la serie que es muy tragico. Aquí no fue así, realmente todo fluía.Todas las historias estaban muy bien entrelazadas, ademas que el casting era maravilloso, actrices geniales, bueno eso pasa por ver una serie vieja después de haber visto muchas mas actuales.
El triangulo amoroso, fue muy bien construido y muy bien terminado, los ame.
Claro de verdad que Jo Jung Suk, es muy bueno, puede ser lo mas sarcástico posible, luego lo mas serio y saber que nos esta haciendo reir, y remata haciendonos llorar a mares con su tristeza, es genial.
Si quieren ver algo light, entretenido y romantico, esta es una muy buena opción
