Really Good watch
I honestly really liked this, there was a fairshare of misunderstandings but it tackled it all really well. Plus I loved Ep9 that one episode turned this into a 9/10 and then then ending made it a 10/10. I went in with zero expecations but I binged the whole thing in a day. The music is top tier, the actors did such a goo job, and the story is simple in a sense but it has fair share of complexties that extend beyound your typical rom com I really liked it for that.Was this review helpful to you?

a bit was lost in translation
I think pretty spoiler free, but I will put the tag on since it just aired.Went into this for the premise but stayed entirely for Kkon-jeong (maybe Do Ra-mi). The show works hard to be a standard romance while she is busy turning her characters into something far more detailed... She doesn't just play dual roles. I really think she anchors them so hard that the rest of the production feels secondary. The Do Ra-mi scenes are the absolute highlight for me. She takes her acting up a notch in those moments. The visions are the only time the drama actually breathes. It is where the chemistry finally starts feeling like an actual ache instead of just a concept.
The shift around episodes 7 and 8 is a genuine high point. Definetly adds so much needed depth that was really missing over the first half or so. Watching Kkon-jeong finally break under the situation just makes things better. It shows the potential for a sharp narrative that the script almost reaches. I feel like they could have leaned much harder into the dialogue between herself... it really could have leaned itno the tension and the premise.. so not doing it felt a little bit of a miss. That is where the weight of the story should have been. Instead of generic plot filler those episodes needed to focus on the two sides of her and show some real issues that would create. It would have added much more psychological gravity and helped drive the show toward a conclusion that felt a little bit more earned.
It is bizarre how the family just accepts the the situation at this point without a single question. They just roll with it. Even worse is the ML. He just accepts that she is acting as Do Ra-mi and treats it like a normal Tuesday. No one reacts with actual human logic. They just ignore the consequences to keep the plot moving. So, it is a bit jarring, but sure, I will give it the kdrama pass.
Seon Ho isn't a bad actor. He has those nuanced eyes that sell a lot of unspoken weight. But Kkon-jeong just dwarfs him. She is operating at a frequency that he just can't hit here. It is telling that he only really seems to come alive when he is with the Do Ra-mi persona. When he is with Mu Hee the spark is barely there. Honestly the second couple has more chemistry anyway. Sota did okay, for sure. He is just a green-flag guy who actually understands boundaries. No possessive second-lead BS. He is fine but that second couple definitely feels more balanced than the leads.... and they were really not given much screentime. I am not saying they stole the spotlight... I just believed their feelings more.
The final thirty minutes is just bizarrely tacked on. They added a reveal that was not needed and did not add a single thing to the story. If you are going to drop a twist like that you need episodes to unpack what it introduces. Instead the entire resolution to that reveal is completely off-screen. We see none of it. NONE. It is just handled and done without any screen time. It is a lazy shortcut that just feels added on at the last minute.
Still the script makes it most of the way through. It never quite soars but it holds together enough to be solid for most of the run. Still, Kkon-jeong makes it worth the time.

As many languages as there are people...
I really loved the ear-piece scene in episode 1, seen again in episode 10. It’s such a powerful metaphor for how we hear what we want to hear. The message is conveyed through language but also through voice, espacially when it's about feelings! I wrote a deep-dive analysis about the translation aspect and the 'evil twin' psychology if anyone is interested: https://mariejoncquez.substack.com/Was this review helpful to you?
A well balanced visually pleasing romance
I'll try to keep it shortpoints the drama excelled in: cinematography, production, acting, story, main lead characters, main lead chemistry, music.
points that needed improvement: scenario, second male character, side couple, story wrapup.
the cinematography: you will feel like you are enjoying a landscape photo gallery, super artistic with the color hues, only shooting in picturesque locations around the world was nice, though in Seoul as usual it sometimes felt over done a tad, but I could still understand, afterall you would not be advertising all the beauty of other countries and skipping the homeland.
production and directing: Top notch! every sequence and scene and angle well thought of, they didn't hold back with their budget and it definitely showed. most of the drama including scenes in closed locations, or the delusion sequences were a feast for the eyes.
acting: great job by both of our main leads, comedy, romance and Melo-wise. I also appreciated the choice of the male lead if nothing else but for his deep and emotional voice, it totally suited the role and effect, she was connecting to his voice and feeling his presence close to her, so the moments his voice plays in her ears, you are bound to get butterflies.
story: well balanced mix of genres, comedy, romance, melodrama, horror, psychological thriller... jumps between the genres felt smooth and natural.
I appreciated how they showed the backstory of each of the two leads just enough to grab us in without wasting too much screen time in needless flashbacks.
the psychological thriller part was unexpected and certainly added a dimension to the story. the transition from seeing and hearing hallucinations at first to eventually being controlled by her showed the desperation, fear and anxiety she was going through, having lived all her life believing she was undeserving of being loved due to her childhood trauma while at the same time falling deeply for someone and yearning to be loved back.
characters: in terms of excelling I would keep it just at the main lead couple, I loved their first encounter, the progression of their relationship and them both learning to understand and be there for each other. I can not say that we saw major character development, but still I enjoyed looking back at their journey and seeing how far they came. other characters I will mention later.
main lead chemistry: simply put lovely. you felt the tension and emotions just from their eyes and expressions, though many times the words they uttered would feel different and overly poetic to a jarring level, I certainly enjoyed their romantic journey.
music: great vocals, catchy songs and fitting original soundtrack.
points that needed some improvement:
scenario: although I had noticed it was a Hong sister's drama the first time the show was being announced, I eventually forgot and went into it not knowing. while watching I found myself a couple of times needing to rewind to comprehend the dizzingly-complicated interactions and bickering, somehow I could guess that must have been the drama written by the Hong sisters. I am not saying I hated all their interactions, especially since most of time it was by design, i.e. the complicated nonsense was was the FL's signature method she intentionally used as an escape mechanism. but still the amount of times, you could not fully wrap your head around how certain lines could lead up to a certain end result, it was sometimes a little bit frustrating, especially having sometimes the need to rewind to listen and read the translations a couple of times, and still not manage to follow the trajectory of the conversation. still I have to admit, comparing to their earlier dramas where it felt like listening to a drama made for radio, where every sentence uttered felt like a line out of a play, the Hong sisters' signature over the top convoluted & dramatic prose, they sure did a tone down of that here.
the second male lead: his character was overall nice but ended up as a mere story prop, I just felt his romantic feelings were sudden and could have been given more time to mature. despite saying that, still his romantic arc felt somehow more believable when compared to the second couple (producer and manager); theirs's was just too sudden out of the blue contrived on a physical attraction level let alone deep emotional one. it almost felt like they were shoving it down the viewers throats downing it with sudden and uncharacteristic skin-ship. I mean she in particular, her character which was portrayed at first didn't give the impression she would be one to move bases so fast and sudden. their whole "romance" felt totally unnecessary, I would have rather had them fix her long time relationship to her fiancé and wrapping up her arc with a wedding, than using his brother/her fiancé as a story tool like that.
the story wrap-up: the drama could have been 16 episode format if it could have helped ease the rushed feeling the last episode gave. I am all for shorter dramas don't get me wrong, but if the writers opt to throw a bombshell in our faces midway through the last episode, and choose to use a Kdrama trope such as last minute separation, I believe they could have at least wrapped things up more neatly. I was thinking at the very least, give us one post credit scene...anything for crying out loud. I mean you gave the trauma she suffered from another dimension last minute, you thankfully chose to make her face it and not run from it, maybe give the whole thing more airtime or depth not just a few curt words from her aunt and uncle. also the unrelatable second couple got to give a glimpse of commitment putting a ring on it, don't you think the main leads were deserving of something similar.
overall impressions: great recommendation if you're looking for a light romance comedy with a hint of drama and thriller. it sure had it flaws like any other drama, but you will not regret the watch.

Cured my drama slump it was that good!
i can say this drama hooked me from the start for these reasons: cinematography, location, soundtrack, and casting were top tier for me 👌🏽 and don’t get me started on the acting! for me what really solidified the characters was the eye acting and how natural the chemistry felt between mu hee and hojin. you could feel that push and pull between them that brings longing and yearning for one another, it was palpable and really invoked so many emotions in me; their romance was so well developed and had me kicking my feet so often esp seeing how hojin was trying so hard to hold back but they both were clearly so in deep for the other 🤭 my favorite line is when he said to her “i barely managed to calm myself and you came to shake me up again” it was just peak writing. i love hojin as a ml he was always so thoughtful, didn’t beat around the bush and always defended mu hee with sincerity and was a genuinely kind person. mu hee’s character isn’t hard to love either, she’s extremely flawed but wanted to be loved and went through many horrible things and i wanted to hug her so many times. one of the best dramas i ever watched in my book cause it cleared my drama slump and reminded me what REAL romance is. kudos to the writer for writing such good dialogue and being able to create these two characters that were opposite in personality, careers, and emotional maturity yet them working so well together and bringing so much chemistry to the screen and being able to touch the heart of the viewers. when they finally got together i swear i was screaming sm cause the buildup was worth it!!! this was an easy 10/10 for me 🫶🏼 i hope the actors reunite in another project someday because they worked so well together and they acted their butts off in this drama, i can’t imagine anyone else playing hojin and muhee~+ i wanted to add that i love the message the writer wanted to bring (at least how I interpreted it) is that there is no such thing as a singular definition for love, it can be expressed and felt in many different shapes, forms, and languages ; hence the term “love languages” i believe hojin’s is being a gentle yet passionate and understanding lover. even when he didn’t understand mu hee, why she was afraid and tried to run away from him at times despite wanting her love to be reciprocated he could see she was a person who had gone through so much pain she was afraid she’d be hated yet she still loved him even when he didn’t feel the same at first and when he came to understand why she was insecure he embraced her for who she is instead of loving her out of guilt; he loved cha mu hee as she was, flaws and everything, even when she became do rami and that was beautiful to me. i love them so much as a couple cause they are opposite in many ways yet they’re made for each other (and the fact they kept meeting each other in different countries??? SOULMATES).

A completely different show from what I expected
So basically, what I imagined how this show would be was as follows:FL is shooting a reality show with a Japanese actor and in order to understand each other ML has to translate. However, SML slowly falls in love with her and tries to swoon her over while ML has to watch. We did get a few scenes like that but I wanted more. Also I wanted the FL to be more swayed between the two men. I wanted Hiro to be bolder and clumsier to create funny moments and ML to be more tsundere but caring to catch FL’s attention. And I was hoping to see this kind of rom-com style in the form of an adventure across cultures.
Instead we got a psychological-romance 🤯 And no it was not done very well! Here are the reasons why I didn’t like it:
1. It irked me how a very serious mental health condition was treated in such a lighthearted, comedic way. It seriously gave me the ick! Well luckily they ended it well in the last episode, clarifying the reasons etc but throughout the whole drama I was just so confused and it was such a pain to watch.
2. The main couple’s banter was NOT CUTE NOR FUNNY! the constant push and pull was giving me so much unnecessary stress!!! In just ONE EPISODE they would go from fighting to making up and even promising to stay together and back to fighting and breaking up again!!!! I was so frustrated!!! People who find this romantic have a serious problem istg!
3. I didn’t understand why Hiro reacted so extremely negative towards Mu-hee, just because she didn’t know who he was 🙄
Other than his good looks his character was rather annoying…
4. Some scenes were SO CRINGE to me I was getting goosebumps 😖 For example when Hiro and Mu-hee were on a tv-show date in Canada and there was a musician playing music or sth and they were both acting “funny” but I was just getting second hand embarrassment it was so cringe how obviously fake it all was. There were some other scenes like that…
So basically the only things I liked about this drama were the beautiful travel locations that were filmed so beautifully, so props to the cinematographer, they literally saved this drama.
And I really liked the second couple a lot! They had much more chemistry than the main couple 🥲🥲🥲
This is it! I hope the rest of the upcoming netflix dramas will be better…

a masterpiece for those who love slow burns, great chemistry, and beautiful cinematography
i loved this show! T_T its been weeks since i've finished it and i am still unable to move on. it got me kicking my feet and cheesing the entire time, which i haven’t felt watching a kdrama in years. while i was pretty disappointed to see such mixed reviews online but, i get it. the storyline was slightly different from trailers and not what everyone expected this romcom to be. the genre change mid-show turned a lot of viewers away but i think it was executed flawlessly (the alter ego/mpd was not overdone in a fantasy way).first, the main characters are so well-written and incredibly portrayed by the actors. the character and relationship developments were very realistic. the little details in the scenes added so much to the slow burn and was satisfying to watch. i’ve never seen a show with go younjung and i’ve never been too interested in kim seonho, but now i’m a big fan of them both. their chemistry was off the roofs; it got me squealing fr >_<
i really enjoyed the themes of anxious and avoidant attachments, and how realistic miscommunication happens in romance. muhee is an actress, emotional with an anxious avoidant attachment style and hojin is a translator, literal but with high emotional intelligence. hiro seems to have a fearful avoidant attachment style and jisun/yongu protray secure attachments.
the show perfectly captured how misunderstandings don’t come from a lack of care, but rather from the fact that everyone speaks their own emotional language, and that love requires learning how to interpret it. at first, i was confused by hojin’s reactions and actions because muhee’s intentions and feelings seemed so clear, but from his pov, she really was sending him mixed signals. she said what she thought he needed to hear and he did what he thought she meant, hence the title. my only complaints are that it would’ve been nice to have a more developed story/love line with hiro and more depth to muhee’s past/mother. although, the jisun/yongu may have seemed random at first, it was nice to see their fast advancement (in contrast to muhee/hojin). jisun wanted a man that took initiative (her language) and neither hojin or his brother did.
the cinematography was SUPERB!! each setting was so beautiful and each scene was filmed so aesthetically. it really felt like the director made sure every second was carefully thought out. i also liked how each country gave a different vibe but the actors did mention they got a lot more comfortable through the year of filming so that may be why. my favorite scene was the aurora scene; i think it perfectly captured the shift in their relationship and it was beautiful, duh. "auroras do not appear in seoul" "i don't want to watch it disappear" muhee self-sabotages as she doesn't think she deserves happiness and then prepares for the loss while she can still control it by leaving (all while hojin asks her to stay for the first time). ugh, i could go on and on about every scene in this show but this review would be endless.
some other notable things that i really appreciated:
- i loved how much they focused on the foreign languages, kim seonho’s pronunciation seemed to be so on point, which really amplified his role.
- i loved how the love line was between two complete strangers (no red string theory), and how they kept the opposite gender managers platonic.
- “why worry about what happens later? we’ll be breaking up anyway.” as we try to love less, hope less, and dream less to protect our heart, we slowly lose color of our life. what is there to live for if we won’t give out our all?

“A Promising Concept That Failed to Deliver”
I honestly didn’t like Can This Love Be Translated?. I went in with certain expectations, but the drama failed to connect with me on an emotional level. The storyline felt weak and, at times, confusing, and the emotional depth I was hoping for was largely missing.The pacing was another major issue. The drama moved very slowly, and many scenes felt unnecessarily stretched without adding real value to the story. Even the romance—meant to be the heart of the series—did not feel convincing or engaging enough to keep my interest. While the concept itself had potential, the execution fell flat for me.
The drama stars Kim Seon-ho as Joo Ho-jin, a skilled multilingual interpreter, and Go Youn-jung as Cha Mu-hee, a globally famous actress. On paper, the story promises a unique romance built around language barriers, emotional misunderstandings, and cultural differences. Unfortunately, despite its promising premise and well-known cast, the drama failed to leave a positive impression.
One of the biggest problems was the storytelling and pacing. The plot progresses very slowly, with many scenes feeling repetitive and drawn out. Instead of developing emotional tension or meaningful character growth, the narrative often feels dull and unfocused. The idea of love being “lost in translation” is interesting, but the way it was presented lacked impact.
When it comes to the characters, I found it difficult to connect with them. Joo Ho-jin, portrayed by Kim Seon-ho, is shown as emotionally reserved and introspective, but his character lacks the depth needed to make his internal struggles compelling. His emotional conflicts never truly resonated with me. Similarly, Cha Mu-hee, played by Go Youn-jung, is meant to be a layered character balancing fame with personal loneliness, yet her character arc feels underdeveloped. Despite ample screen time, I never felt genuinely invested in her journey.
The supporting character Hiro Kurosawa, played by Sota Fukushi, adds a love-triangle element to the story. However, instead of strengthening the narrative, his presence made the plot feel more cluttered and directionless. His character failed to bring any strong emotional impact or urgency to the storyline.
The romance, which should have been the strongest aspect of the drama, was a major disappointment. The chemistry between the leads felt forced and unconvincing, and the emotional moments lacked intensity. As a result, the relationship never felt strong enough to root for, which is a significant flaw for a romantic drama.
Overall, Can This Love Be Translated? had the potential to be a meaningful and emotionally rich series, but weak writing, slow pacing, and shallow character development held it back. While some viewers may appreciate its calm tone and concept, it simply didn’t work for me.

Were they able to translate their love?
Did I binge-watch this drama? Yes.But what was the main reason I binge-watched it?
Was it because it was exceptionally good?
Because the script was outstanding?
Because it was everything I expected it to be?
Maybe not, perhaps it was curiosity.
Would I have binge-watched it if the actors were different? Maybe not.
Was it completely different from what I expected? A One hundred percent, YES.
And that is where this review begins.
This drama follows a multilingual interpreter who works closely with a actor who rose to stardom and they travel together for show. What begins as a professional arrangement slowly turns into something more as they spend time together. Beneath the glamorous surface, there is a deeper meaning tied to the characters’ pasts and emotions that unfolds gradually.
Throughout the entire drama, I found myself constantly trying to understand what kind of love story this actually was. What exactly were they trying to portray? What kind of love were the characters experiencing?
It honestly took me almost the entire show to fully grasp what was really going on, which for something marketed as a romantic comedy was not something I anticipated at all.
When I started this drama, I expected a light-hearted rom-com, something simple, sweet, and predictable. But instead, the psychological aspect slowly began to take over. And once it did, the tone of the drama shifted completely.
I have always believed that when two very different genres like romantic comedy and psychological drama come together, they need to flow naturally. If that balance does not exist, the combination does not always work smoothly. And that, perhaps, was slightly the case here. The female lead was suffering through a psychological trauma.
Ch Mun Hee experiences hallucinations of one of her movie character's personality, Do Ra Mi. This seems to stem from psychological pressure, anxiety, maybe due to sudden stardom in her acting career. As the story unfolds, we see how she struggles with these hallucinations and how Ho Jin, tries to understand and deal with this side of her.
And that made me question one thing.
Was this shift in momentum intentional?
Was it added as a filler, an attempt to do something different from the usual rom-com formula? OR was it a genuine effort to integrate a deeper narrative into an otherwise familiar genre?
Maybe it was a bit of everything.
Coming to our main characters,
Joo Ho Jin, the world’s multilingual interpreter, I genuinely think Kim Seon-ho did an exceptional job. Mastering multiple languages is not easy, and most actors tend to look awkward while speaking a different language. But in his case, it never felt forced. He appeared comfortable, natural, and confident throughout.
What stood out the most for me was his acting. The yearning in his eyes, his body language, and the way he carried silence spoke louder than words. You could feel everything he could not say through his expressions alone.
Cha Mun Hee, played by Go Yoon Jung, this was my first drama of hers. I think she did a very good job. She had two sides of her character to portray, and the shift between them was clearly visible. That transition made a strong difference to the story, and her acting supported it well. Her screen presence was strong, and her beauty was undeniably mesmerizing.
As for the side characters, I was honestly thankful that there was no unnecessary toxicity. Characters like Hiro were genuinely fun to watch and added warmth instead of chaos. For a drama that leans toward psychological themes, having a non-toxic environment made it much easier to watch.
Coming to the technical aspects, the cinematography was exceptional. The shots in Canada, Italy, and especially Japan were breathtaking. The way the scenes shifted and the beauty of the surroundings were captured made the drama visually pleasing throughout. The OST also stood out. It blended perfectly with the emotions and elevated several key moments.
Where the drama slightly missed, according to me, was expectation management. A large part of the audience, including myself, went in expecting a pure romantic comedy, which it was not. The story leaned much deeper into psychological themes, especially in the second half.
The shift in momentum felt uneven. The real issue, however, arises in the later episodes. Once you reach the ending, you begin to understand what I am trying to explain. The final revelation introduces a much deeper backstory, one that clearly needed more time and emotional development. While the twist itself was actually surprising, it felt rushed.
The ending required more explanation, more buildup, and more refinement. Instead of letting the revelation fully sink in, it was wrapped up too quickly. Considering how much focus was placed on the psychological struggles of the female lead, the conclusion felt slightly underdeveloped. It was impactful, but it did not receive the time it truly deserved
To summarise, they pushed the female lead’s story to the very end like a big twist, but that kind of movie-style reveal just doesn’t work in dramas. It only made everything feel rushed and frustrating. AHHH.
In the end, this drama was not something I could easily define or place into one genre. It was quiet, layered, and emotionally complex in ways I did not expect. While it had its flaws, it still managed to leave an impression, mainly because of its performances and the emotions it tried to convey rather than what it explicitly showed.
7.9 /10

Opposites attract
This KDrama feels like a series from 2015, but with a much more expensive budget. The travel part was lovely, but I feel like it could of still worked if it were filmed only in Korea and Japan. It has a slow romance, crazy family background, great leads and has a "one of the leads falls first, but the other falls harder" type of story. I loved the love story, honestly I don't remember a KDrama from recent years which made me feel like I was actually watching a couple falling love (great chemistry is not the same thing).The Hong Sisters are mostly known for darker stuff, and there is a storyline here which was hidden from the trailers, and may surprise some viewers. It is not exactly a rom-com, so be warned. So I would recommend it, but not for those who expect a fluffy rom-com, this is a romance drama with some comedy and horror elements.

"We will have a perfect happy ending." This drama started off dramatic and classy melodrama vibe, but delves into the very question of loving someone and being loved. It is one of those unique, creative and deeply human dramas. Where the scene continues to play in your head even after it is over. I loved the storyline, how beautifully and honestly the whole psychological angle is shown. The self-doubt, hopelessness, confusion, PTSD, dual identities, all the emotions taking the spotlight.Cha Muh Hee and Joo Ho Jin made a great couple. Always there for each other, and understanding each other slowly and truly. They revealed them whole to each other and finally were not embarrassed about it. The deep secrets and scars Cha Muh Hee was carrying. Her mother/Do Ra Mi acted as a felicitator to their love, a side brought up from her childhood darkness. Her alternate version where she could so everything she want without any fear or shyness. Those buried desires and notions of herself. The opposite voice in her head.
For me, Cha Muh Hee was very strong person, who had the courage to face her past and share it with the other. She sets off to meet her mother too at the end to close this chapter completely. She never backed off from what she truly wanted. A powerful depiction of starting a new life. Her story was an inspiring one, I loved her personality. Her small talks, awkward laughs, and hiding behind smiles. To discovering her true emotions and memories, and coming face to face with them.
There was no such villain in the drama. Both the villain and hero resides inside her brain. It portrayed a fight within oneself and how it impacts your loved ones too. The second ML was as great as an actor and really gave some respite to the emotionally heavy drama. He acknowledged his own regrets at the end, for not fighting for his love and actively pursuing FL, but now he has learned it though applying it in his career.
The whole scenario of Korean film industry, auditions, interviews, scandals, really revealed how easily fame and support can be manipulated. Do Re Mi was a memorable character of course, but Cha Muh Hee was the true inspiration and winner. The whole concept of shooting a romantic trip in France and Italy, between a Japanese Romance Boy and Korean Horror Girl, was extraordinary in itself.
I enjoyed so much watching the whole drama, it was a perfect balance of light and heavy. Never had I felt a single episode boring or repetitive. Every episode revealed a deeper insight of everyone's character and their stories. The side stories, second couple, their parents, their coworkers, everyone had a character with a message/story, and it all came out on the screen perfectly.
I loved how different languages were used, truly love doesn't need any language. Universal language of love doesn't need to be translated. It felt like love transcends all the boundaries, and have a globally shared meaning. The whole drama felt joyous, wholesome and courageous in some sense. It may not be thriller or mysterious, but it explores the very fabric of being human and some scenes cut deep into your heart.
If you are unsure about this drama, do give it a try and be patient. You have to be open and you will find all the answers and meaning it is trying to explore. I loved them watching Aurora together, and how she said he will be reminded of her whenever he will see it but there is no Aurora in Korea and then later she wished may Auroras light up the whole world.
And how the drama ends with them watching the dark sky filled up with stars. Their reunion at last, really did justice to the title, "Can this love be translated?"
I love the FL's smile and how her eyes speak, and the ML's blushing and complaining look ;) Their chemistry was on point.

First half was how i imagined but later kind of lacked
Ok so this drama was the one i waited for to air for a quite time. Ep one was really great it showed how human feelings linger, i like how green tea ml was since their first meet and must say he was very intelligent. Maybe its the story context but yea liked his character. Now shifting to our fl. She did a great job with her acting not only did she turned some scenes to her spotlight but also made them seem more lively. Talking about the story its good but not that great to talk about. The travelling part was great specially the scenes shot in Canada . Japan's was short but to the point necessary. I think the drama could have been a little longer rather than 12 ep cause their story did needed more light to show progress before confession. I think the story needed more places to really show they were doing a travelling romance reality show but it is understandable how expensive it can be for the production team but maybe 1 or 2 asian countries and the ones they decided would have helped?. And coming to the do rami part, it was taken very lightly specially when she was shown as a personalityin the later ep rather than an alter ego. which does hold many viewers as a disappointment but must say the fl did a great job delivering the character Dorami. Coming to the sml he does a good job, but the fl and sml 's communication could have been better considering that she did communicate with her phone in a foreign country alone before she meet ml. But ig it also show how he understood though difficulty or liked her with out needing a translation to her language .the miscommunication could have been resorted but again its a kdrama so it makes plot. Overall the starting was good but the other half was a little bit rushed could have helped maybe with 2 more episodes. Overall best cinematography and quite unique plot considering normal ceo x poor girl romance. But could have been a more light hearted.
