Friends to Lovers
Okay so I have to say it - storyline overall was well written and portrayed. I have to say though that the one thing that frustrated me no end is the way the main lead actress is pushing for ‘her man’ to go into the arms of the woman who left him without a word and also was cheating on him at the time. I’m sorry but never in all my life would I consider doing this to the man I’m in love with. Yes I too married my best friend and we too had a 6 month hiatus when things were moving a bit too fast for me. That being said - the time apart I hated the fact that the girls were all gooing and ga-ing over him when I couldn’t. I believe that if you’re already in the feelings stage of realising that your best friend has now moved into the moving your heart phase - I’m going to do all I can to keep him as mine. No matter how famous the other old flame is. Just my add on. Sorry to all those who absolutely loved the way this was close to reality - for me, not so much…….Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing
Loved this one, acting is superb. PBY and AHS were just brilliant as well as the supporting cast members. Lee Seong Jae was brilliant at the evil doctor as was KSH at being the evil son/brother. Such incredible acting throughout.Storyline is amazing, although I would have liked to see a bit more resolved at the end ie his mum being brought in at the end but overall this was brilliant. If I had one criticism it would be that Hee Jin do do not get enough screen time towards the end and left some questions regarding how she resolved everything.
Special effects all the way through fabulous.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
Okay so I’m not usually one for dark thriller’s but this one had me hooked. There were parts that I wanted to skip over (generally too much rehashing) but overall I would definitely watch this one again. KYK was amazing as usual as was the rest of the cast. OMG I cannot say it enough this was a top notch piece. The romance side is short lived but revived and the character development throughout is incredible to watch. I would most definitely recommend this one and it has become one of my favourites I think.Was this review helpful to you?

Loved it
Although I’ve never seen the Cdrama version (and probably never will) I have to disagree with most of the reviewers here. Could be my personal preference but I loved how the drama unfolded and the chemistry between the actors was there. It’s definitely a lighter drama and fluffy feelings abound but the fact that they hit troubled waters and manage to navigate through them - in the end. I appreciated it. I will probably rewatch this one for sure. Nice and light and feel good. I love the innocence in it too.Was this review helpful to you?

Loved Loved Loved it!!!!
What can I say - I absolutely loved this drama. Unlike some others who had some quite interesting takes on it and then dropped it. I fell in love with the characters and the story. It drew me in to the point I ended up smashing out the 128 episodes in no time at all (not realising it was the last episode) and didn’t want it to end. Did I get bored with the retells of old memories - yes I did (just a little bit) but that was quickly remedied with the FF button hahaha.🤣Both Lead Actors were just brilliant in the way they portrayed their roles and there was a good chemistry between the 2.
The step-sister - you just love to hate her evilness and in the end - character development - just gotta love writers who do that. ♥️
The step-mum - yep you just get downright annoyed with her stupidity and jealousy. Although there was somewhat of a change - I still didn’t take to her character at all in this one. (Good writing) I did love the others though and all the actors were brilliant in it.
Loved it.

Fools might think it's the same old same old storyline but the cast in this drama did an amazing job all round. I particularly loved Joy's role in this whole production, she makes it worth watching.

it's fun and funny
this dramawas so much fun. I laughed so very hard in parts but it still had enough scare factor at the right moments too.the actors were all brilliant, I love the ML - he is a favourite of mine from previous dramas and he didn't disappoint me in this one either.
the only disappointing factor would be the relationship between the ML and his wife. this could have progressed much better, i feel her character was way too stiff and unrelenting. although had my man lost our $$ Like that he'd definitely have to prove he was willing to change and show he could behave financially. that being said, I feel his character did more than enough to show this throughout the drama.

Wonderful
Omg I loved this from start to finish. Ji Sung is amazing all the way through as are the other lead characters. I especially loved the fact that the chief focussed on winning his wife back and not the job or the hospital.More JiSubg p,ease.
The story kept a fast pace tight throughout and unlike a lot of melodramas it wasn’t draggy at all.

It was fun and light for me.
Cutesy drama - nicely done and the actors did an amazing job at portraying their characters so very well.Loved the fact that although she was self-sufficient and a realist - came to acknowledge that her decision was wrong and was able to move forward in changing it. Loved the way she also was very human towards the MIL when she went through a public humiliation because of the husband.

You’ll need tissues
OMG - this was such a good but sad story……. LDW did such an amazing job at portraying the gangster/love interest. As well as Park Joo Mi portraying Kang Gu’s mum.For SDW portraying Kang Gu - he was amazing. Love his character - Director did such an amazing job at portraying the writer’s story. Thank you to both of you.

Love wins.
Wow, this was a stunner!!! The storyline kept you hanging on until the end.The actors were all brilliant in their roles and the emotion of this drama was full on. ML and FL were so brilliant you loved to hate him and wished for her. The house manager - you just love to hate her too. Hahaha 🤪 As with most other reviews, I have to agree to the lack of chemistry between the Dr and the FL, that being said, I still think they did a great job in their respective roles.
Mummy dearest has such great character development and in the end has redeemed her character.
I would have given it 10/10 if they had married at the end instead of living together…..

Mehhhh!!!!!!
Sorry folks, thought I’d love this one because of the cast but it flopped for me. I loved the scenery from Cuba and the artwork but the story fell flat for me. The MFL could have done a better job in her role and I feel like at that age she should have a bit more confidence in herself, especially with all of her achievements. I do understand the abuse she suffered from the ex-in-laws would have left it’s mark but still I feel like she could have done the role better.Music was, from memory, enjoyable and fit the scenes.
Rewatch value I have to say I’ll probably never rewatch this one again. Unlike “Oh My Venus” or “Rain or Shine” or even “Stong Girl Bong Soon” I have too many other favorites to rewatch than to sit down and torture myself with this one. I do apologize to those who absolutely loved this one but it’s just my opinion and taste. 💗

Climate Change agenda
Okay so as far as stories go, this one is just full of paraphernalia and NWO agenda of “climate change” and chaos instead of family.I definitely had my laughs and tears but overall - it lacked big time apart from the agenda of the above comment.
Watched it because of the brilliant cast layout and was thoroughly disappointed in the end.
When family is the core of society that leads to health and longevity (even if we’re told otherwise by those who are trying to break it down) is portrayed as something that pain cannot overcome because of parents bad choices then we have most definitely lost a very big blessing in our lives.
So glad that the couple decided to keep the baby in the end and they’re decision to overcome things together, again a family thing, shows what love can do.
The older couple who decide to fight to keep their marriage and family together also helped me continue to the end.
The modern idea that marriage is the “end of love” is a fallacy. Love is a decision, not merely a feeling that comes or goes with a whim. It’s the decision to stick it out through good, bad and ugly.
It also brings amazing blessing in life and society and family is one thing that you can come back to, yes even when it seems like the ugly kind. I’m not saying that there are those who don’t deserve to have kids or those who have been abused or are abusers but family is still family.

Yuck!!!
Too real for me….. I didn’t enjoy the blood, gore or evil intent behind the murders. The fact that the one guy doing the many killings is in power because of daddy is too old a tale and sadly too true at times. Anyone in power should be watching out for those who are weak and less than not exploiting others to fulfill selfish desires of their own greed. The second season was much the same and I have to say I’ll never pick it up again. I liked the idea of voice profiling and loved that side of the story but the gore and violence was too much for me.Was this review helpful to you?

Disappointed Much
Okay there have been a few reviews that match mine so I feel like I’m in good company lol. Let me start by saying I love love love SJK and the main actors weren’t bad actors (although my mate JYB did let me down in her portrayal of her character - however I don’t know that I can wholly blame her or the writer’s depiction of her character) overall I feel like the writer let this one down. The fact that there was supposed to be romance (limited and odd) within the action drama did not end well on this score and the whole story left a lot to be desired.The support actors did their best to be who they were supposed to be but even these guys were oddballs, particularly the baddies - just oddballs.
The one thing I must say (I know it’s been said before but I completely agree with them) OTY - OMG his portrayal of the villainous evil guy but Mr Nice guy was superb and amazing. The 2 male leads had me throughout this one and it took me a while to get through it because the writing was so poor, I had to drop and then pick i tup several times over after a break of some time between. I’m usually a drama junkie and can get through a drama within 3 or 4 days if it’s gripping and compelling. This one - sorry to say took me over a month to get through and this is the greatest disappointment and letdown because of my admiration and love for the 2 male leads.
Not sure if I’ll ever fully recover to be honest as my love for both these guys has been scarred from bad writing and possibly directing. I’ll definitely be hesitating the next time I have to choose a drama with my favourites in them. Although I’ll probably end up watching them anyway purely because they’re NOT BAD ACTORS.
Will I ever REWATCH this one - Never again!!!! 절대!!!! NEVER
