Caught in a nightmare which is disguised like a day dream
The story is a concoction of all the legendary cliches you come across in the short dramas you have watched so long ..it was modern to ancient time travel at the same time ... Body swipe ... Plus Dive into dream to bring the person back ..like literally all of that.Plot is moderate paced but felt like story is missing some fragments, it's about a man who is caught in his own dream and is not walking up for years and the woman who enters his conscious mind to help with resolve his regrets and wake up into the real world . FL and ML are good looking but I wasn't very impressed with their acting specially FL her way to delivery dialogue was cringe ..though I don't dislike her either.
Ending wasn't very nice either .
Anyways I won't write any more ...this is the type of drama which can be both watched or skipped ..

weightlifting fairy lifting my heart ❤️
the show is a rom-com masterpiece, a perfect blend of comedy, romance, motivation, drama ,ups and downs . the straight approach oriented plot no twists and tricks yet giving the best delight to its viewers. i am not going to discuss the outlines of the story as this is a popular one and you have access to its various versions of synopsis on the internet .. so let's straight dive into the things i felt made this show so amazing for me:1) straight and to the point approach : in most cases when writers dont have much twist/tricks to elongate a story, it often comes out a boring plot full of cliches and over abused comedy punches, like a total lacklusture sort of drama . but that wasnt a case with this one ..even with the 'no bullshit' approach this drama was able to keep the viewers engage.
2)cast : very talented cast : some of them like lee sung kyung, nam joo hyuk are my absolute fav ..and the casting director deserve all the appreciation for casting actor who have some experience in that sport to play the sportsperson for example kyung soo jin playing role of song hi (gymnast) was a practicing gymnastic in real life as well ... kyung sung bulked up and did weight trainings play the weightlifter...this type of professionalism increase the value of the drama on whole different level.
plus there were few guest appearances.(byeon wosoek etc)
3)comedy : punches were refreshing nothing vulgar of the sorts ..and there were both verbal and physical comedy ... her walk alone was enough to make me forget biggest worry of my life ..she was just too good.
4)life lessons : this show demonstrated a lot of young people's shortcomings ad worries in present day life .. like carrier pressure, love life situations , family problems ... and the healthiest and very logical way to deal with them.
few things that i think missed the purpose for me
1)music : i dont know this might be my personal POV but the music including everything from background music to ost suck' .. i missed a compulsory rap that ost sports based motivational drama always have plus the romantic background songs had no male singer so it kinda feel strange not to have a background melody to convey the ML's feelings.
2) the part where they show FL and the ex GF playing sister/friends was too superficial ..she even helped her hide the boy in closet ..that part was so unnecessary and unrealistic at the same time ..i dont know why they even put it there ..
okay so that is it ... you should definitely check this one out
rewatch value : very high.( i am watched it 5 years ago and watching it again while writing the review)
XoXo

And the LEGACY continues with new lead faces
Well !! After finishing Season 1, it was hard not to miss the original cast...like seriously ... While Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung are my absolute favourites , it was natural to feel nostalgic for the previous crew. However, if you watch Season 2 with some time gap between, you’ll love this season just as much as the first.The side cast largely remains the same providing continuity and despite the change in leads, the team dynamic is still strong. The interactions and relationships among the characters remain compelling, with Teacher Kim once again at the center, mentoring and guiding the new doctors with his usual brilliance.
Just like in the first season, the medical cases are accurate and informative. The terminology and procedures are correct, which adds authenticity to the show. However, I felt like there were fewer medical cases this time around compared to Seas
The chemistry between the new leads is wonderful And Their shared history as classmates gave their love story a cutesy feel to it . The male lead though talented has a troubled past involving his family and a senior doctor who lost his license over illegal surgeries. While our the female lead struggles with OR phobia and can't perform surgeries.
Teacher Kim’s role as a wise mentor is still intact he helps both leads with their respective issues thus nurturing them into brilliant medical practitioners
What sets this season apart:
1. The previous season was more or less about cases involving common people but this time it was given A political edge, particularly with a major case involving the Minister of Defense.
2. The number of medical cases is lower with the focus gradually shifting towards a trauma center setup from the previous hospital setup.
3. The leads have more complex and morally grey backstories compared to the previous ones.
Definitely worth watching 💕💕

average time travel theme with feel-good to it
another " time travel to change your future" theme drama ... story was interesting in the beginning but arounf 7-8 episode it became somewhat slow and monotonous .. though the ending was okay ... half of the show has modern setting while the rest is somewhat retro ..or 90s theme .. characters were lively and contrasting.does it offers you anything new and refreshing .. ans is NO ..you can fairly predict the whole story line easily in the most initial episodes yet the feel good thing about this drama will make you to keep watching it till the last

They say forgiveness is a virtue ..this drama denies that concept
I won't say complete forgiveness but in my opinion being friends with your cheater husband and his mistress is either stupidity or straight up foreplay to some explicit thought.😑 Anyways here's the review:This is the story of a woman who fought her way through life's brutal punches—a serious illness and a failed marriage—only to rise stronger and finally discover her own purpose. The premise somewhat overlaps with Emergency Couple, where the FL builds her career post-divorce. But while Emergency Couple leaned more into medicine, this one is 90% family melodrama and only 10% medical, and honestly, it could’ve done better with tighter writing, more backbone and well.... more medical cases. 😏
The plot starts off well-paced, but eventually devolves into a draggy mess around the divorce arc. The FL’s complete denial of her husband’s cheating is so damn frustrating. Yes, some women can’t accept that even after being devoted and loving, their husbands might still cheat—but this level of delusion was outrageous. 😮💨😮💨
Let’s not even talk about her family’s role. The FL working under the mistress, who also has a daughter actively trying to reveal the truth, and they still think it’s okay to keep the affair a secret from her ? How delusional can you be? This wasn’t noble. It was just plain stupid.😮💨😮💨
Writing Flaws That Offended Me as a Woman
One of the most offensive aspects was how indecisive the FL was when it came to dealing with her garbage marriage. Instead of making a savage exit or serving some poetic justice, we’re served plate after plate of crying, hesitation, and internal conflict. Girl, throw him off the terrace , beat him to death ... Or just drag him by his collar to court—anything but this wet tissue approach.😬
I expected rage. I expected revenge, cause this man was literally disgusting ... He deserve it .. but What I got? emotional constipation and hesitance stretched over episodes.😒
Characters:
🔹 Doctor Cha (FL):
A fine protagonist—inspiring, graceful, kind, and empathetic—but the writer clearly confused graceful with weak and pushover. I’ll explain that in a bit.😐
🔹 Dr. Seo (ML or more like Male Trash):
Let’s just say it—he’s human scum. A disgrace, a walking pile of filth that should be buried next to the word shameless in the dictionary.😤
This man was dating the SFL (his so called first love), but sleeps with FL, gets her pregnant, and marries her. So far, so normal. But then he goes to the US for residency, meets the SFL again, knocks her up, and continues having steamy nights with the FL too—because surprise, she also gets pregnant.
Both women give birth to daughters nearly the same age. For 20 YEARS, he hides this double life. And that’s not even the worst part.👏
He never spends vacations with his wife and kids.
He and his lovely little mother treat the FL like a housemaid.
When FL is hospitalized with liver failure, this man refuses to donate his liver.
Oh but wait—he uses her disability card to park near motels where he’s off screwing his mistress.
Honestly, he deserved to be eaten alive by a rabid dog.
But this is a patriarchal K-drama, so of course—he gets a redemption arc. He donates his liver in the end and boom—all sins forgiven, apparently. Never mind the SML (second male lead) was ready to donate his liver for FL too. Nooo, our FL chooses to take this cheater’s disgusting organ and continues to be friends with both the mistress and her ex-husband after the divorce. 🤮🤮🤮
Excuse me—what kind of messed-up foreplay to some twisted adult content is this?
On the contrast this man is the answer to korea's shrinking population.. i mean he created 3 babies with two women quite a nice shot he got down there 🤭🤭
Mistress: Oh not even worth discussing... Just imagine a woman who has no bottom line. 😒
Cast : there isnt much to pinpoint ..all of them are seasoned actors .. been in the industry for decades ..they delivered the best. 🙃🙂
Final Thought
The message had so much potential: a woman reclaiming her life after being broken by illness and betrayal. But instead of giving us fire, the writer gave us damp ashes. They turned an empowering journey into a circus of unrealistic forgiveness, watered-down female rage, and the glorification of human trash in the name of "growth." 😐
Call it what you want, but I call it a waste of righteous anger.

Good story bad cast
This was one of the very first kdramas I ever watched I still remember it took me days to get it's bGM "goodbye my princess" out of mind. I found it very interesting at that time but now that I have seen around 100 kdramas I can say this one was mediocre. Reason:1. the FL was just so so ... I was impressed by the wardrobe back then but now I have a proper understanding of good and bad acting as per korean industry and hers was bad ...very bad. ML wasn't very good either.
2. Slow pace .. thanks to fuller plot this didn't seem like a big issue though
But despite everything this drama is close to my heart for the fact that this was one of those dramas that introduced me to kdramas ... And it's BGM is so dope .. I still hear these songs every once in a while. ❤️

A 13- rating show
The plot is absurdly juvenile—a talentless girl miraculously becomes a sensational singer, not through hard work or skill, but by relying on the magic of a pendant. To make things even more ridiculous, this enchanted pendant transfers its power from person to person through kisses. While a weak plot can sometimes be overlooked, the acting in this drama is truly unforgivable. Even newborns in diaper commercials display more believable expressions than this cast of amateurs. That said, one redeeming factor was the female lead’s eccentric wardrobe. I’m not sure which label designed those outfits, but they were undeniably vibrant and stylish—absolutely loved them. Overall, this drama is forgettable at best. You won’t be missing much by skipping it.Was this review helpful to you?
Lie detector and Major Maserati sponsership
First of all it might seem very childish to mention it in the review but the cars used in this show were absolute beauties .. Maserati is my dream car and watching the various models running in this drama made me excited on different level ..HOPE SOMEDAY I CAN BUY MYSELF A MASERATI CAR.Moving forward to more detailed review .. the story was basically very straight forward a girl can detect lies ( not the real truth) so the supernatural element was very limited to play with. Of course ! When i started watching this show I was anticipating her to use her ability in crime solving and stuff on regular basis but perhaps the writer wanted something else so he made her into a private lie detector or lie hunter who works freelance for money. Okay! fair enough! But for majority of the plot her ability doesn't direct the plot in any impactful way made me think what really is the purpose of adding this element...either way in the end her ability saved the day for ML and everything came together. The Twist in the end was something unpredictable for me.
The characters written are light ... I mean no character is overpowering things are going in cycle .. there is no serious villain for that matter ..each character has its own story.
Cast is decent .. ML is good actor but he can really work on his physique he looks malnourished. The scenes where he had piggyback the FL were painful to watch .. he needs to increase his protein in take and hit the gym ASAP. The second in my opinion was far more handsome, adorable , manly and strong. FL is without a doubt a supercool actress .. I am in love with her since bring it on ghost ..she is such cutie yet acts so mature ( 2-in-1) side cast is equally amazing .. a big SHOUTOUT to the actresses playing Cassandra and FL's mother both are my personal favs . Chemistry between leads is fine ..more to the soft side than passionate.
BGM is just okay nothing fab.
Overall it was a delightful show ..worth one time watching ( I will not rewatch it )

Exorcism & Endearments
Okay, so this show? Absolute fun. It’s got ghosts, action, suspense, comedy, and just the right amount of romance—all mixed in so perfectly that I couldn’t stop watching. The ML is the definition of perfection—smart, financially stable, kind, and loyal. Basically, the guy you’d root for in any story. The FL? A complete contrast, but in the best way—playful, charming, and just full of life (ironically, considering she’s a ghost). Their chemistry? Adorable. FL reminds me of Park Bo Young all the time.
Now, let’s talk about the so-called villain. MV was just… cheap. A literal psycho who lost his mind over a cat scratch—seriously? Are you on your periods or what? I expected some grand evil plan, but nope, he just decided to be gross and pathetic instead. Killing powerless animals and pulling third-rate horror movie stunt by suffocating a girl of life support system ~ Disgusting. Zero respect for this clown.
Honestly, the monk did a better job for a villain than MV ever could. That man’s jinx energy singlehandedly caused more problems for the leads than the actual bad guy just by throwing his bad advices their way . I swear, if bad luck had a human form, it would be him.
Anyway, despite that disaster of a villain, I loved this show. The humor, the spooky elements, the romance—it all just worked so well. Definitely rewatching this one!

Definitely not for those with below average IQ
This drama is not for viewers who struggle with non-linear storytelling. The plot constantly shifts between 2024 (the cause) and 2025 (the effect), requiring attention to details. The entire story is built around the theory of multiple dimensions of time and space, making it a challenging watch for those unfamiliar with such concepts in physics and mathematics. If you find it difficult to grasp the complexities of time loops and alternate realities, this may not be the best pick.The story maintains a strong pace, with the characters relentlessly trying to alter fate. One of the most intriguing aspects is how the future visibly changes with every choice they make.This dynamic keeps the suspense alive and makes the storytelling engaging
The male lead (ML) and female lead (FL) are well-developed characters—mature, responsible, and intelligent. Their dynamic is compelling—she brings warmth and optimism to his darkness like sunlight, while he provides her with unwavering security like the biggest pillar. As a couple, they represent an ideal partnership built on mutual support,where both complete each other in a meaningful way.
However, the final antagonist could have been written with more depth. A more layered backstory and morally complex motivations would have made the character more compelling.
The cast delivers outstanding performances. Tu Bing is impressive in her role(watching her for the first time), and Fu Zhi Xian once again showcases his versatility. Having previously seen him in Be Your Knight, Dear Liar and Present is Present, it’s evident how effortlessly he adapts to diverse roles. Additionally, his chemistry with Tu Bing enhances the drama’s appeal.
The soundtrack complements the storytelling well, adding to the emotional depth to key moments.
Overall, it’s a well-crafted drama with a gripping narrative, strong character arcs, and excellent performances.

GREENEST flag ML for those who aren't COLOUR BLIND
Okay, so the plot? Nothing revolutionary. But the comedy? Chef’s kiss. It’s fresh, spontaneous, and thankfully petty issues weren't dragged till the end though, of course!! the FL’s identity is revealed at a snail’s pace, but hey, it’s fiction—logic was never invited to the party anyway.Now, let’s talk about the male lead (ML)—aka the Walking Green Flag that some people somehow called red.( Please get your eyes checked) ....
If this man doesn’t love you, he won’t even notice your existence. But if he does? Oh, honey, get ready because you just became his entire universe. He will save you, support you, respect your talent, and worship the ground you walk on—but won’t let you take the easy way out either. And the romance? My man is out here kissing in his sleep, kissing in the pool, passing candy through kisses, eating bread and deciding, “You know what? Another kiss.” Basically, he’s the perfect amount of horny you can ask for. Also, he doesn’t entertain side chicks, doesn’t let his woman get humiliated by anyone , and will quite literally is not afraid to put himself in harm’s way to save her . ( SOME PEOPLE CALLED HIM TOXIC - GIRL, YOUR BAR IS SO LOW. YOU IDEA OF GREEN FLAG IS PROBABLY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TURNING RED )
Now the female lead (FL)? Beauty. Brains. Talent. Independent. Kind but not a doormat (okay, maybe a little, thanks to her leech of a family). She’s so competent that everyone wants to work with her, and honestly, she’s an inspiration. We love a queen who can hold her own grounds.
The side cast? Meh. They existed. Moving on.
Acting-wise, RR killed it. After Dai Gao, he’s the only actor I’ve seen who delivers passionate romance like he actually means it. When he lands those soft kisses while staring into the FL’s eyes? I was one second away from believing they were actually dating. Also, FL (Li Xing Yao) was so stunning, she doesnt look Asian at all ..her charm..oval cute face with big eyes —felt more like a mix of Afghan and Indian beauty. Plus her acting ~ an Absolute delight to watch.
The absurdities?
1. Her identity should have been revealed earlier because the post-reveal reconciliation was so rushed, I felt like I skipped 10 episodes.
2. The ML sleeping next to her, signing contracts, visiting her office,taking her to hospitals.. on the other side he is married to her for three years , throwing millions at her family business, —but doesn’t recognize both are the same person... Excuse me, sir, do you need glasses?
3. Grandpa-in-law out here hiring FL’s ex-boyfriend to save her family business? Grandpa, please cut us some slack world is not ready for your progressiveness.
In conclusion: Watch this if you can handle the straightforwardness of real man otherwise skip and watch something appropriate for your age.

Bad story tried with good lead actors
It's seems like a trend back in the days with kmovies You either get a good story or you get your fav actors here you get the actors .. ah you want me to comment on story ?? Two people fall in love get married then they figure out "oh! His habits are annoying" or " she keeps nagging, my god!!" Plus some misunderstanding with the ex boss ..and viola you have your share of self implicated problems which will be resolved obviously cause viewers like a happy ending. There is nothing much to comment here.Do I recommend watching it .... Naaa if you're fan of after marriage couple fighting ..I suggest watching emergency couple atleast they got divorced before they patch up ..plus you get some medical drama in that. As for this particular one ...PASS

not impressive
plot is fine but character written are very weak especially FL she is taking slaps from literally any passerby .. she is a sucker for pleasing people .. she even pleases a lot of people she should not be .. quite pathetic if you ask me .. then the emotionally challlenged and arrogant ML with trauma past (of course! you know the drill trauma past is a must) and there strangely foolish chemistry .. he is either using his force ..or coming close to play a prank .. pinning her down to bed ..but there is not a single proper romantic moments between them .. what a waste.talking about the actor both are good looking acting was just okay..

Time travel but in a different light
The show is interesting particularly for a short drama format ..story revolves around the ML who disappeared from the college campus 20 years ago under strange circumstances and the FL, a student on the same campus in present time,who always sees these unknown visuals about the ML in her dreams. After a chain of events she accidentally travels to the past and she decides to investigate the reason behind his disappearance.I will have to say one thing; I couldn't predict the ending (though for most of the dramas I can ) which was quite amusing.
The chemistry between leads is cute but childish you will have to bear with it afterall people were quite reserved in that era. Secondly the time travel power is overused to the point of 'abused' here, I don't know exactly how many trips she took back and forth in time, seemed unnecessary if you ask me.
Overall the drama is good ...has a feel good touch to it ... A straight plot with consistent pace.

Lacked creativity
Ah, another revenge drama where originality took a long vacation! The writer must have thought, “Why settle for one copy-paste storyline when we can have two?” So here we are, with both the FL and SFL on a mission to avenge their families—also seems like in china it's a trend that if you want revenge you have to be either an opera singer or bar dancer .. for the rest you can try changing your citizenship.And our FL’s master plan? Very inconsistent sometimes her actions look very brave other times stupid. Either way with all her martial arts and weapon expertise she still can't deliver anything. For half of the show her face is shown beaten to pulp after one fight or the other .. yet there is absolutely no result .. as far as performance of the actress is involved,she can definitely work on her crying portion .. her sad and crying act doesn't feel convincing.
Meanwhile, our ML was either injured, dead, or just plain useless. 😒 His only part in the show was to kiss ..and kiss more.
The pacing? Chaotic. Secrets spilled faster than asked. After that everything seem flat and predictable. Moreover I personally felt villain of this show wasn't that invisible but he was portrayed like some god of cartels... Fool was just a watchdog to big fishes in the pond yet why he was left alive even when he was on the gun point multiple times. Beats me ...
All in all, this show lost me early on, then there was. No hope till the end.
