I can see what you mean and can see how annoying this can look from a guys perspective the way he was doing too much for love it became unrealistic. I agree they could have toned that down. (But rich people do sometimes do ridiculous things in pursuit of love, booking out museums, aquariums, restaurants, flying out girls that they dont even live to other countries and other things I don't know cause im not rich or getring flewed out)
My initial thought was they went that direction because they were folling his emotional growth arc from closed off, I don't do smiling humans to becoming the exact opposite and super vulnerable about his feelings and expressing them freely.
Overall i think this is just a fun, mindless watch not amazing but not bad.
Thank you for review. , I feel the same about this drama , actually something is wrong with ratings lately , ,…
I think it’s because Kdramas have become so accessible that what may be someone’s second drama is someone else’s 50th drama. Hence totally different perspectives.

I love reading the super positive and super negative reviews to calibrate my thoughts on a show post-watching. This review was interesting. I can understand not liking the drama but I think you are overreacting.
"Totally unrealistic principle. How would these personalities manage to have enough time to establish their own lives? One of the personalities even pulls a high-tech time bomb out of nowhere!"
What makes you say this principle is unrealistic? A homemade bomb won't take more than an hr or two to make. The only time Perry pulls out bombs in this show was when he came from home knowing he was walking into a hostage situation.
The show itself shows a personality to have the ability to stay for enough time to make consequential things happen. (Hence the premise that Mr Cha often has to clean up after the other personalities.)
"Vulgar rap song?" This seems like a personal preference thing rather than an objective take on the song. Some of the personalities are raw and vulgar so a "vulgar rap song" may have been deemed appropriate for them.
"It was supposed to be a psychological drama. Instead we have a caricature of multiple personalities".......I am not a mental health expert but I think the often fantastical manifestation of mental health issues is something widely recognized in society.
Anyway, I did enjoy reading your review even though ir isn't really useful for my calibration exercise.
To be honest I knew the writers were going to land themselves in trouble super early on when they conveniently stopped clarifying who is in charge on the body at different times points. They never clarified who started falling in love at the beginning like the first they kissed they made it seem like it was So Young reacting to the King but then stopped doing that as things progressed and let us assume it was Bong Hwan. Then they conveniently forget they set up the body switch at near-death then they didn't orchestrate another near-death to switch back at the end. They just did it when they wanted. I thought they would do queen nearly gets killed by Byung In. They didn't instead suddenly out of nowhere Bong Hwan starts caring about Byung In dying when he spent all that time ignoring him. My guess is "So Young" is meant to have come in there. But the writers decided to not clarify who is who when so then this scene just becomes weird. The writers bit off more than they could chew.
it's so interesting to see everyone's different opinions. Vincenzo is like a 6/10 for me. It just does not work…
I think the biggest flaw was its attempt to be funny. The writers should have committed to one idea and not tried to mix genres. Also you know the writers have lost the plot when their "Chuck Norris" gangster needs to be saved by pigeons. I love to get convinced to step out of my reality and live the writers' world for my 16-20 episodes but this was a hot mess.
Recommendations for new drama watchers (my personal favs):1. True Beauty2. Vincenzo3. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon4.…

I feel like I have to give some context as to why I think Full House has pretty high reviews. I watched the OG korean version of Full House in about 2014 at the beginning of my Kdrama journey and would probably rate it 8.5/10 from the experience I had watching it then. It came out in 2004 at the beginning of the 'korean wave' so I don't think the rating it has comes from comparing to to dramas like Prison Playbook and Mr Sunshine. The experience of watching Boys Over Flowers/Full House/Personal Taste then was just as great as watching Mr Sunshine now even though in hindsight one can obviously note that Mr Sunshine is a much more superior drama than FullHouse.
My initial thought was they went that direction because they were folling his emotional growth arc from closed off, I don't do smiling humans to becoming the exact opposite and super vulnerable about his feelings and expressing them freely.
