Cheong Ah and Yi Chan steal the show
A heart warming drama full of cute, fluffy, comedic, chaotic and emotional moments. You will feel butterflies for the cute romance that brews, get teary eyed during the emotional moments of the characters and hate the guts off the evil ones. The entire cast be it the leads or the supporting ones nailed their roles.The star of the show would be Eun Soo as her acting of a deaf and mute Cheong Ah touched hearts. She was phenomenal not just with the sign language but with emotions she showed through her eyes of a girl who is only looking for some affection which she never got. Girl didn't even have to say a word to bring tears to the eyes of the viewers.
Hyun Wook as the chaotic and dramatic Yi Chan started off as annoying brat whose only goal is to impress his crush grew on to become the greenest flag. A boy who became the light in the dark world of a poor traumatized girl and changed it to something beautiful, bright and vibrant world. Be it his comedic timings or his cute fluffy chemistry with Eun Soo or his loud and chaotic yet sweet relationship with Ryeoun, everything was done extremely well.
Ryeoun certainly knows how to pull off both comedic and emotional moments extremely well. His emotional confrontation with his father in E1 or meeting and saving his mom in the past, these moments were enough to get eyes teary. Seol In Ah was charming as ever, she still looks like a teenager in a uniform.
I would say the show is a must watch if you want to go for some 90s themed cute high school kdrama.

Park Min Young's comeback is strong and striking
A really good adaptation of a webtoon into a drama . From the start to end, the drama was engaging. The drama will make you feel for the characters be it hatred or sympathy, love or disgust. Each and every cast member played their part extremely well be it the main leads or side characters or the antagonist.PMY's comeback was phenomenal. After facing such a turbulent time in her life for past year where many expected her career to go down the hill, she bounced back with a stellar drama and took her spot back.
For me the star of the show is "Song Ha Yoon". She absolutely nailed her role and showed off her versatility. Hell I even forgot she is the same girl from the drama "Fighting For My Way". As much as I liked her character in that drama, I did end up hating her a lot in this one. She managed to do the same what Lim Ji Yeon did in "The Glory". So kudos to her.
Lee Yi Kyung's " Gwenchana Gwenchana" ain't working in this drama what his acting sure is. Dude played the role of a sleezy asshole extremely well.
The show is a worth spending time on if you are looking for some good and satisfying revenge drama.

This drama rides solely on the chemistry between the leads
The drama has a warm and fluffy story that has been shown many times in C dramas before. The story isn't something new or too interesting but is watchable all thanks to the leads chemistry and the little cutie who is the icing on the cake.Miles Wei playing the same type of CEO who starts cold but warms up later on. He has played this type of CEO character in so many dramas so nothing new in this at all while Hu Yi Xuan certainly did well with her role. Gonna have to give credit to the boy who plays ML's son for doing really well with his role at such a young age.
It is a good one time watch if you are a fan of the actors.

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area - Part 2
0 people found this review helpful
A good hit but not a home run
They literally managed to make korean version of an already world famous show that doesn't look like some low grade knock off but is actually a good show. The story was engaging and keeps you on the edge as they changed quite a lot of stuff from the original show be it the character arcs or their backstories.The only letdown for me was that the characters in the show, I could never make the emotional connection with the characters as it happened with the original. The characters of the robbers weren't that memorable too that you would talk about them even after the show is completed. If you go for the OG one , the wild, feisty and sometimes self destructive Tokyo or the cold and psychotic Berlin or the bossy and matriarchy loving Nairobi or Denver's weird laughter or Professor's voice, swag and his glasses flick. There were many memorable characters that people still talk cuz they had a long lasting impression, something that this show missed.
Otherwise it is a damn good show which doesn't looks draggy but thrilling till the end.

Quite Cliche and Predictable but Sweet
The story of the show ain't something new but the same cliche contract marriage drama trope which has been used so many times in so many shows. The same CEO and poor Cindrella marrying each other for their own benefits and the same jealous second leads who will try to ruin their relationship but in the end get rejected and go home. Though the story is predictable but is sweet and cheesy enough to make it work and not look cringey,The one and probably the only strongest point of the show is the couple's chemistry. The leads were the perfect casting for it and it shows in every scene they are together. The supporting cast has done their job really well too. I would say my favorite character would be the ML's grandma.
It is a good watch if you are looking for some cliche romantic love story stuff.

Sometimes too cheesy but still a good watch
Saw the show after hearing so much hype around it and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the action to the story arcs, everything was well executed. There were moments where it felt a little dragged and sometimes to cheesy but overall was a good watch.The humor was quite on point and gave some really good memorable moments, be it the dance during the idol concert or trying to stop the girls from opening the parcel.
The show gives you all you need from an army based show and tells about all the sacrifices the soldiers make to protect the country and their loved ones.
Song- Song couple might not be together in real life but for sure will remain one of the best onscreen ones till now. SJK as a soldier and SHK as a doctor were perfect casting. I was skeptical at first regarding SJK playing an army officer as he doesn't really has that stature but he did justice to his character.
KimJiWon as always nailed the character and her love story arc with JinGoo was cherry on cake. Her being a feisty and extroverted girl while him being calm and composed. Both helped each other grow and face problems together instead of running away.
The show's ost was quite good too and matched well with the vibe os the show and characters.

Some Scars can't be healed
This show needs no introduction nor does its leading lady.A show that depicts the darker side of humans and how monstrous and inhumane they can get. A broken and scarred girl who swore revenge on those who made her life hell returns and unleashes the same hell on each and everyone of them making their lives worse than death.
She decides to take away everything they had from them and in the process meets a guy who is too broken and scarred just like her. He becomes her support when no one in the world did that for her, making her start to believe in others again.
The show will make you feel so many emotions. You will cry for the victims and hate the guts of the bullies. The cast has nailed their roles be it of the good or bad one.
Song Hye Kyo proved with this show that she ain't just a pretty face but a phenomenal actress too who can pull of both sweet and darker roles.
(The saddest part is that the things that are shown do happen in real life too and even way worse. Many have faced it growing up and many are facing it even now and this will continue on cuz such monsters exists everywhere at any age groups. I do pray for the well being of those who have suffered such atrocities and hope they are able to move past those scars.)

Nine Tails returned with a Bang.....
I think as everyone knows, this show did surpass its prequel both in terms of action and story. The characters introduced and their relationship development was damn good. The show was captivating and engaging right from the first episode and didn't feel as if it was dragged unnecessarily.By the end of S1 I hoped that Rang's character deserved a happy ending too and BOOM when the announced the sequel I was so happy. Rang getting his one love and going all fiesty foxy to protect her was so good to watch. LY as the big bro getting to meet his little bro again, from fighting against one another to side by side with him was cherry on top. Honestly I felt Yeon chemistry with the FL here way more than the one in S1 but dude is a one woman man and won't look at anyone else other than his own lady.
Overall the show was a bang and ended quite wholesomely.

LDW and Kim Bum were the perfect casting for Nine Tailed Fox.
I would say LDW as a nine tailed fox was his most charming role till now. Be it his hairstyle or his attitude, everything was top notch and suited the nine tailed fox character but the one guy who stole the show was Kim Bum.Kim Bum as Rang and his entire story arc from hating his brother's guts and trying to hurt him, all the way to sacrificing himself just so his brother could return. The cold natured fox who hated humans ended up making deep emotional bonds with so many and got himself a new family was so good to see especially with the little boy. Damn I felt way more sad for his death than I felt for LDW's.
I have always been a fan of Cho Bo Ah, from her days of side roles to her playing a psycho teen who is obsessed with her teacher to an army officer. She has nailed all of the roles and did the same here. If there is one actress other than Yoo In na who really suits LDW, it would be her.

The sizzling chemistry between the leads is cherry on cake
No Spoilers:A broken girl meets a savior with a sad past and together they decide to take on all those who have scarred them. The highlight of the show was the chemistry between the leads.
Jung Yoo Min is made for main lead roles and she proved it in the show, while Sung Hoon charming as ever too did well.
Each and every character played their roles so well, you do end up loathing and loving them.
I was sceptical at first as the webtoon had quite many chapters and whether they will be able to get the entire story arc done in 12 eps and not rush it but they certainly hit the bullseye.

An explosive and fun drama that grows on you
LIKED:- ABH as explosive and overbearing at times but warm inside Jae Gyu is just perfect casting. He has really good comic timings something we even saw in Flex Cop. The same goes for LJB who as Yun Bom being polar opposite off Jae Gyu also nails her role. The chemistry between them is fuckin good and fun to watch.
- The supporting cast does so well especially in humorous moments. The relation between characters both leads and supporting really grows on you with time and only makes things more fun.
- So far the story is engaging and funny at times. The relation progress between the leads isn't too fast and at a good pace. The story isn't something out of the box and does pull of some generic tropes but still manages to make you chuckle.
- One of the best things about this drams is they don't drag misunderstandings or add too much of extra melodrama to it but actually deal with it in good time while keep everything light hearted.
- The drama really exceeded my expectations. Ignoring a few hiccups and the teenagers storyline it is a fun, humorous and heartwarming watch.
DISLIKED:
- The only two characters and the arc I am not liking at all is between Han Gyeol and Se Jin as both are just atrocious to look at.
I don't know what writers were trying to pull off with both of them if it was to make it look cute then they have failed with flying colors. Every time these two show up on screen, I simply skip through it as it makes my blood boil to look at them both. it does gets a little bearable by the end but still something you wouldn't really care.

It is like every other average fluffy romantic C-drama with nothing new to offer
The drama doesn't bring you anything new or out of the box but is like every other cute fluffy generic dramas that you have seen before many times. The same ML and FL meeting one another after along time, same unidimensional SML being added only to create misunderstandings, a secondary couple created to utilize the rest of episode's time, same lack of communication and unnecessary dragging of the story.The actors have done good with their roles. The roles and characters weren't something with much emotional arcs to offer but are unidimensional so were pulled of good.
I dropped it after E11 as it is just lame and boring to watch.
The only reason to watch this drama is if you are a fan of the actors or you love these average cute fluffy tropes otherwise this drama can be skipped.

One Last Emotional Ride With The Stolen Bride
If you have seen the trailer and read the synopsis, then you already know the drama will be a rollercoaster of emotions from humor to heartbreak. and it delivers everything spot on. You better have some tissues ready as there are plenty of moments where you will need them. The pacing is decent and I am glad they didn't make it 16 eps as it would have been extremely draggy to watch. Every character has their own scars they hide from others but slowly let it out and will have you root for their happiness. For me it is a one time watch as I don't want to go through all the rollercoaster again but would recommend to you if you are ready for such genres.Was this review helpful to you?

A good concept destroyed by horrible storyline
The drama is living upto its title: Bad Memory Eraser because that's what the viewers need after watching this pile of trash.I am all for SFL and ML being together instead of a cowardly and zero self respect shit who is easily manipulated by a guy who almost sexually assaulted her to provoke his brother. How the fuck was she even a doctor when she is so dumb.
FL knows she isn't ML's first love and instead of being honest with him and loving him enough so he can get over his past she just hurts him more.
Then there is the moron little shit who is responsible for everyone's suffering. Ends his brother's career, reason for his brother's depression, forces himself on the girl his brother loves. Yet this girl goes after him to make him happy.
The parents are pathetic to say the least with no redemption arc. The worst mother you can give a guy is given to ML.

Kim Ji Eun and Park Solomon's drama is a breath of fresh air in this cliche trope of Body Swapping
The show from start to end is engaging, chaotic, mysterious, humorous and even dark at some points making the viewers curious on what will happen next. This isn't you cliche romantic stuff where the leads swap their bodies and fall in love later on but more about two extremely opposite people with each having their own secrets, motives and ambitions.FL's character isn't some damsel in distress but one strong, cold, bossy, ruthless and arrogant wolf who is ready to go through hell and even put others through it to get the job done. ML's character is a loud, chaotic sometimes childish guy who works under the FL and often faces the brunt of her actions. Both of their arcs end up getting interconnected with each learning to work with the Swap and at the same time going ahead to achieve their own motives.
The best part of the drama is that romance isn't forced down the throat of viewers but is kept subtle while keeping the main focus on the mystery and thrill factor of the show.
The cast especially the leads have nailed their roles. Both did justice to their own and each other's characters too. I would say it is a must watch if you are looking for something new.
