Anything that Ji Chang Wook takes on turns to gold from this magnetic, handsome, extremely multi-talented actor and professional singer who can do it all. He doesn't disappoint in this series either, as a "James Bond" type of character, but so much better in the way that only Ji Chang can pull off with those beautiful eyes of his that speak volumes without any dialogue. Just standing in the room is enough to have all that charisma fill the screen!
This story was well written allowing all the talented actors to add their own special flair of eclectic personalities to balance out the intrigue. Ji Chang's costar was a good acting partner for him creating nice chemistry for his character, adding the right comedic relief, character development and pacing.
I especially loved the soundtrack that was composed and produced by some very talented artists... and as usual, Ji Chang Wook sings one of the most beautifully arranged ballads called "Watch Over You" , where you can listen to his clear, powerful voice , the voice of an extensively trained singer who started his early career in musicals. Between the stunning melody and Ji Chang's voice filled with emotion, it raises the goosebumps on my arms whenever I hear it.
All in all, this is another one of Ji Chang Wook's series that I could re-watch and be captivated all over again.
Thank you everyone involved in creating this enjoyable series that was a real treat.
As an overseas fan who has watched too many American movies, I have now become a devoted fan of Korean productions as they are truly outstanding, which is something I have been missing overseas.
For me when I read about an accomplished actor like Ji Chang Wook insisting on singing in his series' soundtracks, because as an actor who has portrayed his character, he would have the actual deep emotional insight to bring into the songs he sings on the soundtrack. This is the kind of extraordinary talent and dedication to quality that I admire and have the highest respect for in these Korean artists and production teams.

An enjoyable series that I felt was well done, as you would expect when you see it as a fantasy drama romance....the key word is fantasy.... that is what makes the story complex and different in the way it unfolds.
As an overseas fan of watching a massive amount of recycled themes, of which some productions could do better, I enjoyed this series which gave me an interesting mix of subplots, and a peek into how some entertainment industries need to be mindful of their dedicated talents ' wellbeing, who really put so much of themselves mentally and physically into their craft. It was an eye opener for me and heartbreaking one to watch at times.
The time travel aspects were typical of a fantasy series that did grab your attention in following the couple's journey of struggles, connections and some misguided ways of protecting each other.
The music, and singing were beautifully done, especially by the multi-talented, magnetic male lead, Byeon Woo Seok, who, despite only brief vocal coaching, gave a stellar performance, surprising even Sandeul, one of the top singers, who praised his singing. This very versatile actor I have seen in other roles and admired his work each time.
The great soundtrack created by the talented composers, producers for this series is definitely worth putting on a playlist as the music is something you don't get tired of, especially the stunning melodies.
All the actors, from the two leads to the supporting cast were outstanding, showing an amazing emotional range and giving their characters great depth which moved the story along nicely.
It's watching these Korean dramas and others that have made me a fan for life.

Definitely a series I would recommend that has a bit of everything in it to keep you interested.....the special effects alone are first rate, very realistic. All the actors were amazing...quite the eclectic mix, quirky, bizarre, that give the story some interesting, comedic and dramatic moments. The two main leads are both very multi-talented pros that gave their all in portraying their characters with incredible chemistry to give it that added spark. Everyone involved in creating Hotel Del Luna did a wonderful job.

One of my favorite series that I have watched many times to add lightness to a heavy day. I enjoyed this well written story that had so many fun characters surrounding the two main characters, which for me provided the perfect balance amongst some of the drama involved. The episodes flowed nicely with great character development and nice pacing.
All the actors involved added such great colour to their characters showing great acting range all around. The two stars, of course, were the two lead actors who are both very magnetic, polished professionals with phenomenal skills and powerful chemistry. It was interesting to watch this couple navigate office politics, family and each other, keeping me invested from the beginning to finale. Everyone involved in this production did a brilliant job in creating this series.
Praise goes to the costume designers who really helped these lead actors shine in their roles as successful professionals in charge and the cinematography who helped create the different moods, settings.

This is one series that really hit the mark for me in every area from writing, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, and of course, the outstanding performances of all the actors. The story kept me hooked from the beginning with its creative mix of subplots, background histories and the main characters' evolving relationship from their combative start. The two lead actors had a great rapport, however, the male lead, He Yu definitely stood out as the scene stealer. This young, handsome, charismatic, multi-talented wonder is quite something to watch as he handles his role with such realism. He is one actor to follow as I predict he is going places! This is a series I will be watching again. Brilliant!

I actually enjoyed this series because for me it was just the right mix of drama, fantasy, romance and a touch of comedy that kept me interested. The writers did a very good job of weaving into the main story the different subplots to keep it layered with a good flow.
As always, Dai Gao Zheng gives us his usual exceptional performance as he does in every series I have seen this magnetic actor in, filling the screen by simply being in it.
The production elements in the series were wonderful, especially the special effects, sets, cinematography and those gorgeous costumes that flowed around Dai's very attractive physique, and were stunning on his beautiful costar.
I felt all in all this was a series I can watch anytime and still find it a viewing pleasure.
Well Done by everyone.

I was captured immediately by this very intense, drama, thriller type series with one of my favorite actors, Dai Gao Zheng whose acting range is truly outstanding. He portrayed his character so realistically that you were shocked at his character's dark, cold, volatile personality that could leave you frozen in place. As the series progressed and revealed the horrific abuse both verbally and physically, his character went through, you realized how broken this person was who was still dealing with his trauma, and functioning as best as he could without the solid support he needed. It was heartbreaking watching this character live his life this way, so full of pain, raging inside and out.
The female lead was a great costar that handled her role well, along with a stellar cast and provided good chemistry. I can only imagine what these actors like Dai go through when they are acting in these intense emotional scenes, what a mentally and physically exhausting time it is for them. Hopefully they look after their well-being.
A brilliantly written story that had me rooting for these two characters in the end.

I found myself thoroughly enjoying this fine series that was well written, directed and produced.
I loved these fascinating characters with their unique quirks and some traumatic backgrounds that blended well into the main story of these two combative personalities that the polished actors portrayed. The pacing flowed at a pace I liked, with the romance adding it's eventual spark to the story.
All in all a series I would watch again,

Perfect Crown was one of those high-end productions that had a massive budget that allowed them to work with the best of the best. It was very obvious that everything from beginning to end was done using high standards in writing, directing, producing, cinematography that captured stunning scenery inside and out, beautifully designed costumes, whose colors matched the tone of each scene. Everything in this series flowed seamlessly from character development, pacing and subplots. I found myself totally absorbed in this story of intrigue, drama and romance, with a few comedy moments.
The two lead actors were a good match....both extraordinary talents with great emotional range, very magnetic and able to portray their characters authentically.
Everyone involved in this series did an extraordinary job.

Another wonderful series that I felt had everything in it that mattered .....like brilliant writing, great character development and pacing, with the right amount of episodes.
This was a story with fascinating characters, one in particular, the director who was portrayed so realistically that I was ready to send him to anger management counseling.! You had a view of the typical office gossip, rivalry, corruption and competition, with the ever evolving romance between the main characters that had you captured from the very beginning. A beautiful job done by both the very multi-talented leads, especially, Seo In-guk the charismatic male lead who I have seen in another earlier very dark thriller, drama series called Hello Monster, portraying a profiler, where he was absolutely brilliant as the lead, as he is in this series as well.
A super job done by the amazing team that created this series that is worth watching.
Well Done

This was a series that you can watch many times and still find it enjoyable. Kim Young Kwang, a magnetic, outstanding actor is remarkable in this role, as the demanding Director..also in other more intense dramatic genres I have seen him in recently. Truly a great actor that has a new Netflix series called Take Charge of My Heart coming up in October.
His costar, Jin Ki-joon is the perfect female lead as the overworked Secretary who adds great comedic relief and powerful chemistry. With the addition of the fantastic supporting cast, this series does not disappoint.
Thank you to everyone behind the scenes of this series, and the composers and artists who produced the great soundtrack.
Special mention to the skilled cinematographers that captured some stunning shots...one in particular, was the shot of the two main leads under an excavator sheltered from the pouring rain, as the camera zooms in close capturing the couple's intimate moment through the rain drops.. absolutely beautiful!
Also praise goes to costume designers and wardrobe department who outfitted Kim Young Kwang with those classy tailored suits, shirts with French cuffs, elegant cufflinks, watches, and collar pins that highlighted his position of control as the handsome, successful Director. Jin Ki-joo was also outfitted beautifully in the gorgeous dresses for her role as Veronica Park.

This is a series that is so entertaining that you can watch it many times and enjoy it each time.
Kim Young Kwang and Jin Ki-joo bring a solid acting skill set to this serious with their powerful chemistry, comedic timing and magnetic screen presence, especially Kim.

Loved this series that had me intrigued, laughing, crying and some aahh moments watching the two leads' characters evolve personally, professionally and romantically.
I felt the writers did an amazing job of the storyline, giving all the multi-talented actors a wide range to work with.
The two lead actors, especially the male lead, Ji Chang Wook is a seasoned, polished pro who is an accomplishment actor and professional singer with a very magnetic screen presence, who brings his exceptional acting range to every role and genre I have seen him in. His costar, Nam Ji-hyun added quite the quirky personality, along with the very talented supporting cast. Both leads created such a powerful chemistry that sizzled on the screen and had great comedic timing.
Thank you to the creative team that produced this entertaining series, and the composers and artists that collaborated to add the beautiful soundtrack driving the emotionally charged scenes. It's one that I enjoy listening do after a long day.
