I’m so glad that I put this off ever since I started watching dramas but also so surprised. ever since this drama came out I had been telling my self that I would watch it but never actually started it thinking it would just be a boring war drama. let me just say it wasn’t. the storyline wasn’t out of this world but combined with the actors and the characters it definitely was good. people call it legendary and one of the kind but I wouldnt say that. as someone that binged it it felt very repetitive with just bunch of different war problems developing every 3-4 eps, which is very typical. I would definitely say if u were to watch this as it aired or just slowly it would def be more fun. all that just about the story but it was entertaining and as someone that usually doesn’t watch like military and war stuff often it kept me engaged enough to finish. I would def recommend atleast giving it a try, the characters were all well written and I would go as far as to say to just watch it for them if not the story.
unexpectedly one of best shows I have watched that have come out in the past 3-4years. okay hear me out, I saw many people dropping it in th first few eps but it only started making sense after like ep4ish. like I will go as far to somewhat compare this to goblin. the first half of the show seems unserious fs and as if it’s just purely nonsensical(which yeh when u really think about it yeah but like let me finish). it started off as a funny nonsensical drama, the fl really reminded me of the fl from its okay not to be okay and she did a really good job, woobin also did a really good job with the unserious type of character. the story in the start made no sense and lowkey def wasn’t written the best but as it got further they started slowly hinting at the past and u could see the characters change accordingly, the storyline was pretty intricate and shown really well. usually I find this more with dramas before like 2020 but I was able to connect with the cast. usually newer dramas I can only find myself building a relationship with the MLs but in this case I was able to connect with all the characters as if they were family. OML I LOVE THE GRANDMA AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GENIE AND ANGLE IS SOOOO CUTE.
this is getting long sry but i think majority of the bad ratings are bc the culture inappropriantion(i think that’s what it’s called) and akward start to the show. I really recommend trying to watch till atleast like the 4th ep and then making the decision. personally 10/10 reccomend this reminded me a lot of goblin(but obvi nothing can beat that) and if u enjoy fantasy, action and just want like a more older story type drama just watch it.
it was fun. don’t go into this expecting some intricate storyline or like anything much. this was just pure entertainment and butterflies(so many actors I love and they played like the perfect boyfriend so the butterflies were guaranteed).Personally I also only stated this dram bc the actors,like eye candy vibes. I didn’t feel amazingly connected with everyone in the drama other than jisoo, inguk and some of the boyfriends. Jisso and inguk def had an interesting relationship it was like no chemistry but also so much chemistry, I can’t describe it. I would say their relationship kinda came out of nowhere, like sure there were hints but like no buildup. this would definitely classify as one of those cute teen fantasy (a little wierd) drama. I would def recommend if you want the cute butterfly hot mls type of drama. but this def isn’t your type of drama if u aren’t into that and more mature relationships and shows.
this was much better than I expected. OT WAS DRAMA PACKED, like messy, melodrama, confusion, misunderstandings. I found it to be well paced out. the villian FL was so good bro, her acting actually scared the living crap out of me. the whole main “theme” of the show was kill them with kindness, which did get a little annoying at points. the only character I liked was the daughter, my girly spoke her mind and was the only one that was right. for me this would be a watch for funzies and drama but nothing else. I would recommend giving it a try, but I could see how some may not like this.
it was watchable. it didn’t amaze me with something totally out of the ordinary, yes the story was more on the unique side but nothing too much. the acting was great, chemistry was decent, and almost everything in the story was answered. I found it to be pretty well paced out even though it was BERY BERY overly dramatic. I would definitely give it a watch for fun, I would go it just expecting a full family mess drama type of thing.
this was really entertaining. it was funny romantic serious and had a good balance. there was nothing extraordinary about it but it obviously wasn’t bad, it was just a fun watch. all the actors were amazing, the characters fun but I just found there wasn’t enough dynamicness in the story majority of the characters were very static. not to mention the last two eps didn’t contribute anything to the story. but it was cute enough so I watched through it. there were some fat shamingness going around by the ML, he would say he found her chubby cheeks cute but when he saw her at the end he rushed to have her loose weight, so idk about the message there. other than that overall would def recommend giving it a watch.
I’m 8 eps in and I can’t keep watching. I love the message they r trying to portray, but the story and how it’s portrayed just isn’t engaging enough. I really like the comedy which is one of the reasons I even got so far(and Choi woo shik). but I can’t explain why but it’s just not engaging enough for me to able to continue, maybe it’s cause the chemistry, or just the interactions that don’t feel genuine I really don’t know. but I was really excited for a more stronger FL and like “weaker”ML bc it’s rare to find. I would still reccomend giving it a go bc people on here have really enjoyed it, so maybe it just wasn’t something for me.
WHERE WAS THIS AND WHY HAVENT I HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. the second it started i was hooked. the ML was such a personality and FL was also so solid. the story was so engaging throughout, and I felt like I was living in the story with all the characters. speaking of characters , they were all great actors and it was genuinely fun to watch them all, not to mention how dynamic they were. the ML and FL had amazing chemistry even without much PDA, and they just felt like such besties and meant to be(OMG THE WAY THEY LAUGH TOGETHER!!!! my heart couldn’t take it). yes the ML is a little rough he gets MUCH better, and personally I think it was unique bc u usually won’t find MLs like this. genuinely even at the non romantic parts I felt very intrigued in the story, it was funny, romantic, hectic, and overall an amazing watch. Would def recommend watching it and just enjoying.
okay where do I even start. this was such a journey, compared to other Gumiho shows this was definitely the funniest of them all. miho was so cute, and dr. dongju was so fineeeee. though the Gumiho concept is used a lot this was refreshing, it wasn’t as dark, which did mean the backstory was not really there. I personally really liked dongju as a character and he was probably the best written, portrayed and maturest. the main leads r a little immature but it all contributes to the show and the story(so don’t let that stop u). I genuinely felt the connected with the characters and the acting WAS AMAZING the chemistry was good too. the first few eps r just building up and i feel like the plot starts around ep5-6, before that its just building a connection, so don’t let just those eps stop u. And I mean I just was having so much fun laughing crying worrying whatever it might be. the OST has me completely hooked and I will def be listening to it all the time. overall JUST GO WATXH IT AND ENJOY
OMG this was so good. it was very unique to say the least. though the people did look a little scary, it wasn’t horrible. th story was well written with the background of the characters to the ending. throughout they help put other ghosts and even those stories were so well brought out and written, it did make me question life after death a little, I felt tears building up a few times for them(the dog on was so bad I was actaully crying). the chemistry was not the best but pretty good, the acting made up for the chemistry. all the side characters felt like family, and I was connected to them. ALSO when I started I had no clue seo in gun was in this BUT OMG I was so excited when I saw. overall it was a amazing drama, great story, execution, acting. would definitely recommend giving it a try even if u aren’t into horror(trust me, I usually can’t even handle the thought).
THIS IS SUCH A UNDERRATED HIDDEN GEM. though yes it’s a little long, I enjoyed every moment. this is like the typicality of typical kdramas out there, melodrama, amnesia, rich man poor women, comedy(ALOT OF THAT, I might have fallen of my bed once or twice 😅). this was like a all in one package. Technically there were def many gaps and holes to be filled, but from an audience perspective,who wants to enjoy and pass time, and less critic(which I’m def not) IT WAS SO ENTERTAINING. the slow burn was just enough to make me wait but also make me pissed at the characters but just enough. I feel like these was the start to those wierd rich MLs, in this Gun had this laugh, then we have AURA, and different actions later on. though I would rate it a 8.5/10 on more of a rating perspective, but I 10/10 reccomend it. it was so comforting, th characters were unique and fun, I felt very attached to them, and th ending closed everything off really well giving a very wholesome feeling. would 10/10 reccomend as I said before, this might turn into a comfort drama.
let me start off my saying, it’s enjoyable. based on all the comments and rating was ver hesitant thinking it would be really bad. but lowkey I enjoyed it. it wasn’t extraordinary or out of this world, but it was good, it was watchable, I actaully wanted to keep going in the story. I would def give it a try, it’s a pretty kdrama type of drama. my personal favorite were the actors, the were all really good, all the couples had great chemistry(kinda reminded me of business proposal with the sang(the bullied worker guy, even though in buisness proposal wasn’t bullied) and th doctor girl). O think it had a good closing everything was summed up well(i really wanted to see SML at the wedding but oh well, HE WAS ALSO SO CUTE BRO), I do think if it was 16eps it could have built a better connection and story over all. over all def would reccomend a try, even though the story might be overused.
IM SOO HAPPY, ughh these flower boy shows never fail to make me smile. I will say it wasn’t anything exceptional. but the acting and chemistry WERE AMAZING, the story was prettt basic but I enjoyed. i was having fun and wanted to keep watching. the middle did get a little depressing but it was okay. it was immature but it suited the show it didn’t feel too out of place. though def the show wasn’t a 10/10, but to recommend PLEASE WATCH IT. it’s cute funny, the characters are amazing, the story is “kinda”new and just a lot of fun to watch.
The actors individually play their roles really well. No doubt about the good acting. But when they come on screen…
real, I only finished it bc I had hope, but clearly that didn’t help. the last 4 ep I watched on 1.5 speed and like skipping throughout. it was just boring and felt like a task

when I say u expressed all thoughts I have about this show, I mean it. it had potential but the OVER babyfying, bad chemistry and badly written characters was the downfall. it was just insanely immature(even for kdrama standards) and the cuteness wasn’t done right, shows like strong women do bong soon were able to achieve that cuteness and immaturity balance.
lowkey, these type of stereotypical office dramas are right up my alley, but sadly not this one. It was cute yes but in an awkward way(don’t get me wrong I LOVE those cute loveydovey romcoms), but I wasn’t like getting butterflies, and after a while it got annoying, it was worse than a middle schoolers in a relationship. i liked the story idea, i found it new for kdramas as i usually see this type of story more in cdramas. but I will say i was a little disappointed. when I saw the cast i was very excited, I really love both the leads. the show just wasn’t well executed, i knew the story wouldn’t be anything mindblowing but this is an example of a cliche done wrong. I mean it was very immature, and just didn’t build a connect to me personally. the chemistry was bland(don’t get me wrong they played their roles very well separately) , nothing special in a story, music was okay, no comedic timing and personally I wasn’t enjoying, it felt like a task for me to watch. I personally believe in ENJOYING the show over anything technical, I wasn’t having that. I would say only watch if u have nothing better or want a quick office drama.
People seem to like and adore the drama even with "the flaws" there are like 1M reels, FMV, tweets, etc.…
agreed. when I saw the story line I knew it was just gonna be a basic office drama. but it was done right, with the right marketing based on the story. I feel like sometimes I just need to enjoy a show and not need a five hour long physiological thinking session after, and this was just one of those.
SKIP TO SECOND PARAGRAPH FOR RECCOMEDATION, the first paragraph is me ranting about my feelings of cliche.
okay everyone saying it’s cliche, so let me just start with that, yes it’s cliche. but sometimes all I need is just a well written cliche. Like nowadays everyone is out here creating some abstract intricate story with deep characters and such which I will say is nice. but I miss basic cliches, like sometimes I jus want a cliche high school romcom, for this case a office romance, like there were reasons buisness proposal, she was pretty and office dramas like that were popular. it’s like a all in one package, comedy, romance, office politics, it’s fun. but don’t get me wrong just cuz it’s cliche doesn’t mean it’s not unique. I love twist of her faking a marriage and kids moral of the story sometimes I want cliches but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t include it’s own unique twist or story.
okah actual review time. if u r looking for a new office drama, just watch it and stop thinking. Its cliche, its cute, i laughed, felt emotional, and just enjoyed my time watching. it was a very feel good office romance that i feel like i had been missing. it wasn’t too immature(but i mean a little bc its still a kdrama, but not like other office dramas that have recently been coming out). The acting was good, the story left no major holes, i enjoyed the characters, AND I LOVED THE CHEMISTRY(give me more of this couple). the guy was a Chaebol and acted like it, the girl was poor and the character fit that, like a cliche. ALSO the SML looked so much like Jin bro. anyway There was nothing EXCEPTIONAL, it wasn’t a ground breaking story, but i enjoyed and had ALOT of fun, and at the end all that matters is that i felt engaged and had fun watching.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN BUT ALSO CRIED. this was such a ride, it was funny, romantic, criminal all in one. and they were pretty well balanced, I never felt like it was dragging on. though I agree there is a weird love triangle and I mean Bong’s personality slowly just turned into Shin, that was the only weird part. though about its not a fully 10/10 show like techinaly, story and character development, depth and all that stuff, lowkey on a recommendation basis 10/10 I enjoyed, I laughed, I cried, I built a connection and at the end of the day to watch a show that’s sometimes mode important than the actual technical stuff.
this is getting long sry but i think majority of the bad ratings are bc the culture inappropriantion(i think that’s what it’s called) and akward start to the show. I really recommend trying to watch till atleast like the 4th ep and then making the decision. personally 10/10 reccomend this reminded me a lot of goblin(but obvi nothing can beat that) and if u enjoy fantasy, action and just want like a more older story type drama just watch it.
