10th chapter ― A masterpiece

For me the tenth chapter is really awesome. It is an antideviation on the Oscar winning Parasites mixed with the romantic flavour of all the Korean dramas and the responsibility of an idol, all very Korean and all in less than an hour. If I would give a lesson on series screenwriting I would use Parasites, Idol: The coup and only this 10th chapter to show the magic of creation on a very special Korean vision.
Antiparasites are created with the mother and the father and if they have included to the very parasite sister this would have been a real masterpiece. A note to those who in the future want to make their country's adaptation. They are overplotting on the ML and his family. FL needs some balance.

I've watched with great interest the first two episode of this new show. I like the story, which has nothing to do with any sexual things like others say. The main actors have an excellent chemistry. During the first two episodes I've laughed a lot. The show seems to have a great action ahead, and I really can't wait to see the next episodes. Because it's a great drama, which has good and funny story, I will watch it with pleasure, so I decided to give this show 9.5/10 . I wish all of the crew good luck and high ratings.

Watching for the lead I like them and funny scenes along with their bff

I think I'm watching this for the leads. I was hesistant to watch at first because of the comments about romance, current gf, almost no kiss, etc pero maganda nmn pala light hearted lng.
- Ang eye candy ng mga leads
- Ang ganda ng chemistry nila, sweet, caring, kaso medyo sayang kase not that romance, I was hoping na more scene sa kanila after maging sila at may kiss.
-I want more for the couple to have scene as a couple or kahit sa ending.
- Nailalabas ni Dae Hyun kung ano siya at comfortable sya kay Saet Byul kesa kay Yeon joo na current gf nya. Di nya nasasabi mga nangyayari sa kanya sa current gf nya. Tapos pag may gusto sya gawin or sabihin, binabara at di sya pinapatapos magsalita ni Yeon joo.
- Cheater nmn pala at hindi honest c Yeon Joo kay Dae Hyun dapat maaga sila nagbreak like ep5-7 kaso pinahaba pa huhu.
- Lol Dal shik at Geum Bi haha sila second couple at nakakatawa sila
- Mag 30yrs old pa nmn pala c Dae Hyun at 22 na c Saet Byul kala ko alaki ng age gap gaya ng reklamo ng iba hehe
-Overall it's HP and it's fun.

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION PRESENT

so no one's gonna talk about the dude wearing the dreadlocks? that's cultural appropriation and I'm a hundred percent sure that they have no understanding of what it signifies. If you wanna education yourself on this topic... search up the origins of dreadlocks and rastafarianism. It's crazy how when koreans or white people wear dreads they are considered beautiful and bold however, when us black people wear them they are considered "unprofessional" and "dirty". We looking past these simple yet huge things in dramas can lead to a greater damage. Please re-evaluate yourself if this dosen't affect you slightly.

All in all it's not that bad!

I'm writing this during ep 7 and so far I really like it. I'll be honest I really don't like the character of Han Dal Shik but I'm pretty sure that is not just me about that... It's just... Awful in every aspect. But, other than that I find this show really funny but also deep in some aspects and I actually love the acting especially for the protagonists. So. So far so good I think!
I'm really sympathizing with saetbyul character, I really really feel her, she's like the strongest girl ever I love her. And HIM, what a naive ingenuous good man he is, i really feel like he's the one who needs to be protected from a rough world that loves to take advantage of him poor boy. I hope he'll wake up soon and be repayed for his goodness and I hope Saetbyul will be able to have a good life later in the show

i regret watching it till the end

i give this drama 3/10 overall is solely because of their acting and (kind of) strong female lead. the whole plot and storyline? is too cliche for me, nothing new. Because you see, once they have childhood memories, the drama will definitely be a turn-off to most people because its predictable. There are so many problem/problematic scenes in the drama but i keep watching it in hope it will get better (and keep watching it because of the main characters). Not to mention, the age gaps. Please don't misunderstood me, i like the MCs, individually, but pairing them together? the casters could've done better than this but in the end its the actors' decision....to appear on the drama

Maybe chill on the exaggerations

I'd just have to drop the drama or save it for when I have nothing else to watch. I do love Ji Chang-wook and while Kim Yoo-jung might not be one of my favorite actresses, I think she's good. All in all, it's a nice cast.

I don't find the comedy funny though, several scenes I watched were so exaggerated, I couldn't really get past that. I think those work only in the webtoon and shouldn't have ended up in the drama.

Of course, I have absolutely nothing against the age difference, there just wasn't enough to draw me in from the first episode and from the plot line, it doesn't look like there's much story to tell.

I will not rate the drama till I start watching and this review is subject to change.

Incompatible leads

We all love Wookie. Yoo Jung is a sweetheart. But these two being paired together, just isn't my cup of tea. Sorry, not sorry. They look like siblings. No chemistry, and that is quite ironic, given Wookie's superb dynamics with his FLs. Sheesh. Yoo Jung's best partner by far, was and will always be Park Bo Gum.

Not horrible, but a waste of everyone's time

For a romcom to be successful it needs to strike the right balance of cute and witty. This was neither.

ROMANCE: Can we stop putting schoolgirls with grown men and call it romantic? It was cringe.

HUMOUR: The script was weak and unable to accomodate it.

RACISM: Present. Come on Korea, let's drag you to the 21st century.

Overall, I didn't hate it, it's more backround scenes while you do laundry. But for its star power, and the fact that it was his return drama, it's massively dissapointing

➕ Почему стоит смотреть?
Чжи Чан Ук и Ким Ю Чон. Больше мне сказать нечего ахах
няшно-милашный сериал про няшек-милашек. стоит посмотреть, когда хотите легко скоротать вечерок не особо напрягая мозг)
огромнейший плюс - очень мало страдашек и драмы, которые так любят корейцы.

➖ Из минусов:
- явно показывают, что все снимается в павильоне. В принципе, тут и особо глазастым не надо быть, чтобы это заметить ахах но я не люблю, когда прям ЯВНО это показывают. нет эффекта погружения.
- так же не понравилось то, что я ожидала определенных действий от главных героев, а их не последовало =(
- друзья главных героев прям ПЕРЕИГРЫВАЮТ. понятно, что это комичные персонажи, оттеняющие гг, но ля...тут чот уж совсем

Consigliato

Ho davvero amato questo show. Penso sia uno delle migliori comedy dell'anno. Sinceramente non capisco le basse recensioni. I due protagonisti hanno una chimica incredibile, e l'interpretazione di Ji Chang Wook è stata fantastica come sempre. La sua mimica facciale è qualcosa che non tutti riescono ad avere, e la sua vena comica emerge alla grande in tutti gli episodi della serie. Anche l'attrice protagonista ha fatto un gran lavoro, ho amato le sue scene di lotta nonostante a volte risulti un po' infantile negli atteggiamenti. Le amiche di Saet Byul sono pazze all'inverosimile ma ti strappano un sorriso in ogni scena.
Nel complesso lo show è promosso a pieni voti e lo consiglio a chi vuole guardare qualcosa di leggero, divertente e leggermente diverso dal solito.

Pior dorama do ano

Preparados pra maior vergonha alheia que a Coreia do Sul já nos mostrou desde Playful Kiss?
Se eu puder colocar esse dorama em 1 palavra: asqueroso.
Começa pelas representações racistas inacreditáveis. Eles mostraram o cabelo afro como sujo literalmente para uma metáfora da mente "suja" do escritor de webtoon erótico. Quem quer teve essa ideia, merece uma bofetada bem dada. E associaram esse escritor a sujeira e perversão, e ele caracterizado com a mais nojenta e digna de pena blackface que eu já vi na vida. Um estereotipo que os sul-coreanos aprenderam com os estadunidenses. Depois de 1 década ganhando dinheiro roubando a cultura afro e fazendo apropriações culturais no k-pop, é de se esperar que os coreanos tenham o mínimo de respeito pelos negros e sua cultura. Talvez demore mais pro séc. XXI chegar a Coreia.
Sobre o casal: péssimo. Nem era um dorama pra adolescentes, mas não teve beijo de verdade, só selinho de quando ela era menor de idade na história. Claaaaaaaaro que a história fez o típico clichê definido por pedófilos "ela era safada e sabia o que fazia". Gente sem bagagem cultural pode não entender, mas esse é um enredo bem conhecido pelos assediadores de garotas. Ridículo.
Que raiva da rivalidade feminina cultivada nesse drama. Sem nenhuma razão, as personagens se odeiam simplesmente por causa do protagonista masculino. Elas se odeiam, brigam, discutem. mentem e tudo por causa dele. Ele é um amor sim, mas não tenho paciência.
E o enredo geral desse drama foi chato, clichê e mal-feito. Eu assisti porque amo os atores Ji Chang-Wook e Kim Yoo-Jung e eles atuaram muito bem. Foi desperdício de química não ter cena de amor, nem mostrar eles namorando. Terminei me perguntando o que eu estou fazendo da minha vida desperdiçando meu tempo precioso naquilo.
