ONE OF THE BEST JDRAMAS

I really love this drama so much. I just started watching japanese dramas/movies and so far this is one of the best even though I still haven't completed watching it since its still ongoing. I am very picky on watching jdramas since most of the people's recommendation are either too cringy for me to watch or had sad ending.

The main problem of most japanese dramas I have watched is that they don't have that good script/flow thay made me want to drop it. Some have good plot but the execution and script is so bad. I don't have any problem of their exaggerated acting and such but if the execution of the plot and the script is good, then definitely its really worth it to watch.

However, this series is not the typical japanese drama at all. The plot is about arranged marriage, which is a very common genre, but the execution is so good! I am an avid manga reader and I can feel the manga vibes in it. I also want to praise the actors and actresses. Their expression are truly on point and I love how they can portray the comedic side of the series. The script too was very great. It was well executed and I love how a part can connect to another part of the story. You can see the cohesiveness of the story. Music-wise, its addicting. The OST got stuck in my head, like seriously. It really fits the drama.

One thing that made me also love the series is the pairing. I love the chemistry of the main couple. Their personalities is what made me want to watch more. The second couple too is very interesting. I can see their chemistry too and how well they match each other. You can totally see their chemistries even in simple things that they do in their everyday lives.

I was kind of reluctant to watch this since the era of when the story happened was kind of sensitive but I did not regret watching it. Though it was very sensitive, I kind of thought along the way I was watching it, that they are people, too. They also suffered, too, especially for those people who never wanted those things to happen in the past. There are families, who are scared to what could happen to their loved ones, especially those who worked in military. I felt sympathy. Greedy people are truly the ones to blame for every misfortunes that happened.

Overall, its definitely worth to watch! I also feel like this has happy ending. Its just a light and heart-warming drama. Hundred percent recommended!

OG Kdrama plot is back!!

Its been a while since I have watched kdrama that have this kind of plot. I really miss it and it is really refreshing to watch this type of kdrama. These days, kdrama plots have been either truly gruesome, very heavy, and intense. If the kdrama is light, the script, the flow, and the story isn't interesting, even if the acting of the casts is really good.

However, I really love this kdrama. First of all, the main leads are really good at acting. They are one of the actors and actresses who I really like in kdrama industry. Young kwang is really good at acting. He can capture subtle emotions through his expressions. I have also liked Chae Soobin's works. She is really good at picking kdramas. She is really good at acting and she is very pretty T-T. When I heard that they have drama together, I was really excited and they did not disappoint!!!

For the plot, it was interesting. Well, it is really cliche but that is what makes it interesting. It is cliche yet refreshing. Most stories always involve a chaebol, but in here, the male lead's character is a very different chaebol. You can tell that he is a chaebol who deserves to be a chaebol. He works hard and he thinks smartly. He is not some spoiled chaebol who gets everything easily. That is what makes him interesting. The female lead too is cute. I really like her personality. She is not easy and she is not too kind. She knows herself well even though she is hurt by her power. It was a good thing that she has people by her side. Both the male and female lead's character really fit for each other. Both of them are really cute!!!

The cinematography and the way the flow is done are good too. The styling too especially the male lead is so good. Overall, I really love it. I really love fluffy, light, and interesting kdramas like this. If you like this type of romance, then you would definitely like it. Just one thing that I was disappointed ( a little) was I really loved it when chae soobin's hair is straight!!! I would love to see the male lead's expression when he will see her with that chaebol girl fit (same as her fits in When The Phone Rings). She is very pretty!!!
