Soooo Lovely and Full of Charm - Season 2 please ?
Ahh I'm so glad I stumbled upon this drama. It's soo unique, cute and full of charm. At first, the studio like setting was obvious due to the era it's set in which isn't my favourite because it feels constricted. However, later on this became one of its strength. The characters are so lovely and it made it feel like a small community of warm hearted people.The main leads complement each other perfectly too. Kanoko is so soft spoken and I love how gentle and how well Soma pays attention to her and accepts her for who she is.
Plus the cases are never too deep or too light. I can just watch this endlessly, I really hope they make a 2nd season. This was so calming and relaxing to watch!

Started off well and more importantly - a satisfying ending!
I liked the beginning of this but it fizzled out towards the end. The ending episode though was greatly satisfying. It’s so easy to find loopholes in time warp dramas but this is probably one of the best time warp dramas made in terms of how well thought out it is.The timing of everything and the logic behind them all made sense. Finally, a drama where you don’t have to leave your common sense at the front door.
However, I found myself not caring as much towards the later episodes due r to the fact it just wasn’t as exciting anymore. I really loved the part of the story with Hyun Chae and the whole secret affair fiasco. It was exciting and well made. That for me was the peak of the drama up until the part when Seo Jin ultimately found out about them.
Those episodes were very exciting and truly unpredictable. The part where the rapid changes in the future kept happening are one of my most favourites too. The highlight for me was how satisfying they would all just fade into nothing and how great the police detective was. Truly a kind person. It was so nice how he managed to convey so much kindness and warmth through his actions.
By the end, I just appreciated how excellent the actors were in their roles. These are some seasoned actors and it really made for a fantastic watch.
So even though I enjoyed the kidnapping-affair side of the story, the whole company who-done-it chase and reveal felt dragged out. Especially when it became the central part of the story. I felt like there would have been more to flesh out if they had kept with the wife plot for longer.
Got to say how impressive Nam Gyu Ri was in here too. The character was horrible and cannot truly be redeemed but her portrayal of every emotion was so convincing. She was really great being spiteful, a loving mother, a deranged, psychopathic person and manipulator plus a woman in agony. I love love the first time DeoKyun died and she found their photos at the apartment, that was such a heartbreaking scene that even if you know what led to that part, her portrayal was so great it would affect you regardless.
Plus, Geon Wook is just the sweetest.
And despite being annoying, the actor behind Chairman Yul is so good - that whole scene when the evidence of the crime was being revealed, his expression the whole time was just spot on.
Overall a good watch.
