Main characters’s story stated way too late

Main lead characters are secondary in the show

The first episode is not very intriguing but once you get past it, the shows gets interesting. Then again the show gets boring around episode 5. I know the story revolves around grim reapers dealing with suicide cases but watching different stories with the same plot gets dragging . We know someone will try to suicide and RM team will save them and same plot repeats in every episode. It gets boring and predictable . I feel like the main leads had barely any story. If you watch episode 2 and then skip it to episode 8, you’d barely miss anything. Because the main leads don’t have much of a story going on in present time. We do see their past in the last episodes but that was just too late.when the interesting part started, show ended. Yes, last 4 episodes were the most interesting out of all the show.
I watched the show for Lee soo hyuk and we barely see him in the 1st half of the show. Even rowoon barely seems to have his own story going on.
Apart from that some stories were way too intense.. Writer could've lighten up by adding some comforting episodes . But I get the message of the show that words and attitude can have a huge impact. It’s good for one time watch.

Bummer at the end

I have watched many international dating shows and it was my first time watching a Korean dating show . The international dating shows are all about the physical attraction and lust. So what I liked most about the show was how they focused on getting to know each other slowly rather than jumping on each other right away.😂
I liked how it started with expressing the first impression of the person and then matching for dates later. And cooking with each other was the best part as it gives a lot of time to interact with each other in a natural setting rather than going on fancy dates right away.

But what I didn’t liked was that how the new members joined soo late and they didn’t got the chance to built anything with anyone. And the worst part is tht all the couples who left together at the end are not together. Yes, not a single one of them are together. It all starts to look fake like how they shared beautiful moments and never dated in real is just soo weird to me.
Like what’s the purpose of these reality dating shows if no one sticks together or even tries to date after leaving the show. Makes it all pointless. I was hoping better from a Korean dating show.

Too much action and too little romance

Snowdrop could’ve been one of the top love stories of k-drama world. But the writer wasted it all on the hostage situation.
The first episodes gave so much hope for a love story to be remembered and cherished but then it all went down with the 4th episode. The problem was not the hostage situation itself but problem was that 80% of the show was about hostage situation and the multiple failed deals between the spies and ANSP. I didn’t got to see the romance between the main leads that I was hoping for. I was bummed.

There is soo much I wanted to see, the drama had perfect lead couple, 80s backdrop, the old school romance. But instead ten focus was on a lot of action, politics and dragged hostage situation.

The ending was not that emotional like i imagined it would be. Main lead character’s death is a big deal and makes you cry but i didn’t cry or felt that sad bcz his death did not came as a shock. It was obvious so it didn’t invoke that many sad emotions. His ending should’ve been more memorable.

Every gamers fantasy

Not gonna lie, i started this drama because of hyun bin. I am crushing hard on him after watching crash landing on you. So i went blindly into this drama yet unexpectedly enjoyed it.

Memories of Alhambra is a fantasy science fiction. Story is quite intriguing. I enjoyed all gaming details that were embodied in the story.If you love playing videos games you are gonna like this one. The plot was difficult to understand at first but i enjoyed the unpredictably of it. No one knew how and why the game became real ! And I was curious to find that out. Although I wasn’t satisfied with the explanation of how the error made people die in reality. There could’ve been a better explanation. But nonetheless I enjoyed the drama.

Mostly K-dramas that I watched had somewhat similar plot that are too predictable but this drama was unique and I am here for the suspense.it caught me off guard. Visuals were amazing. Plus the music was great, the theme song Little Prince is love 💓

Disappointed and hurt

This is not the same alchemy of souls that i’ve watched !! Certainly doesn’t feel like the same drama. The whole plot is strange in an odd way. The problem is not because of a new actress as female lead but the whole drama has turned into lame marriage of convenience story . What happened to the badass shadow assassin!!

It would’ve been much better if the new character was buyeon instead of naksu. Naksu’s amnesia ruined the entire story. The whole “naksu’s soul and moduk’s body together” made no sense at all. The writers could’ve easily gotten out of this by an simple explanation. But 2 souls on one body was absurd and too hard to comprehend. They negated their own rules of alchemy of souls. The whole drama turned into a joke.

Nothing seem to change much for the crown prince and yul either. And Uk keeps getting special treatment as buyeon falls right into his lap. I am soo disappointed, i can’t watch it further and ruin the memories of season 1.

Chaotic and hilarious . Loved every bit of it

Enemies to lovers is my favourite romance trope. Something about characters who don’t like each other and fall in love makes me soo excited. And this drama has the chaos, conflict and push & pull that i love to watch in a romcom. If a romcom is all lovey dovey and there is no chaos and tension then it’s boring for me. Although last episodes weren’t as chaotic as the beginning ones but fair enough as there needs to be romance too.

The female lead is cold hearted yet flirty and playful at the same time. Mostly kdramas show cold hearted characters who easily melt and i feel
like this is not the true depiction of a cold hearted personality but Mi-ran perfectly depicts cold hearted character with trust issues. She is effortlessly chill like that. It was soo fun watching her beat the male lead and reject guys.
Kang ho doesn’t trust women and is not a typical gentleman. I fell for him without even realising. He starts off as mean and narcissistic but is actually a sweetheart and charming. His expressions are soo funny for some reason. And I keep repeating the moment in my head when he termed their kiss as fan service. It was hilarious. I loved all the encounters between Mi ran and Kang ho, from she tripping him to their first kiss. I died laughing and giggling. Absolutely enjoyed each and every moment of this drama. And finally some steamy romance scenes that we don’t usually get to see in kdramas.

And how can I forget to mention hottie Mr.Do won joon. I want to keep him to myself if i could. I didn’t even know i like long hair on guys until I saw him. He’s soooooo dreamy. Him ending up with miran’s friend was bit unexpected and I would’ve liked it better if he had stayed a playboy.

Shout out to gilmu’s law firm guys as I thought they will be mean to Mi ran as she is the first female lawyer in their firm but they all were welcoming to her and also shout out to her ex who cleared her image in the end.

Not enough thrill for a thriller drama!

I will start with what I loved about the drama, simply what carried me through the drama. Yes! It’s the main lead couple’s fiery chemistry!! They looked amazing togather and carried every different dynamic of their relationship well. Chemistry was chemistying but was that enough? No!!! Absolutely not.. The overall concept was good but the execution of the story seemed weak to me.
For instance the identity of the caller 604 could’ve remained unknown to Saeon for longer and they could’ve made it more fun and thrilling. I feel like the use of 604 was limited. And it was the only interesting part of the show soo they could’ve engaged with this element longer.. The reason I am saying this is because there was nothing much to the story to keep the thrill going.

Saeon was president spokesperson but he had no security after work !!!! The character’s secrets weren’t that big of a mystery as it should’ve been. Baek Saeon was adopted and not the real son was also revealed quite early in the show. The same with heejo’s fake muteness. It was revealed too soon. The only mystery was the deal behind the two families and that didn’t surprise me that much either. Simply put the family secret that they made such a big deal outta weren’t that big or crazy to make the audience go woahhh.
And finally the fact they Saeon loved her ever since they were kids and actually wanted to marry her but still tormented her for 3 years is wild. It didn’t set well with me. How come he let her suffer for 3 whole years if he really loved her!!!
Overall the story was quite weak for a mystery thriller and there weren’t as many thrilling factors in the show as there should’ve been.
