A feel-good Xmass/New Year season movie with LOTS of great actors

The story here is very Hwoody, lots of ppl find their true friend/business partner and do business, or find their true love and happiness, start dating or marry during Xmass and New Year season. This is a classic "feel good" movie. On the plus side, it is not cheesy, and it is done well and tastefully, ppl go through real problems before they come together, and they overcome the problems and get closer.

The most fun part here is the actors!!!! there is a WHOLE BUNCH of really good and rather famous actors in here, so it is a pleasure to see them

None of the roles here are "bad", all characters are "from real life" and rather quirky but likeable. The acting made the roles really fun to watch. Thanks to the director for letting the actors ACT. THis movie was made before the poker face era...

It was sooo fun seeing ML from Tastefully Yours - wow what a great performance, ML from Spirit Fingers - nice acting here!, Grim Reaper - imo his best role I have seen so far, the best "expressing" - nice! and his love, the Maid, was amazing too! I swear I have seen her somewhere else but cant pinpoint... , ML from Walking on Thin Ice - amazing as usual, and has this most complex character - I love his roles, always different and creative, he is one of my fav actors! and bc of him, I decided to watch this movie
and ML from Undercover High School - wow if it is him singing, he has a really great voice, and I think his Manager is one of the dudes from Low Life etc
everyone so uch younger

and even FL from Practical Guide to Love was not her usual terrible acting, here it meshed well and she expressed more, FL from King the Land was present on screen a tiny bit and did a lot better job, more livelier than in King the Land and BonApettit Your Majesty, and the hopeless only-poker-face ML from Beyond the Bar got a tiny few very limited expression scenes but even he could convey some tiny emotion.

The last scene is a great example of why this drama feels so Kwood rosey glasses and how a drama can use even the worst actors - the two worst actors here just meet by chance in a hallway and exchange a few simple short meaningless shallow polite chit-chat sentences and he says go out with me, and then we have 3 minutes of flashbacks of them like 20m apart.... . Very simple. No complexity, no emotions,nothing to really act. Just put two bodies there and end on a very super artificially sweet unreasonable totally out of blue "happy end".

The complex roles and plots are given to actors who can handle it, like ML from Walking on Thin Ice and the Maid actress

This is a fun movie. All these actors were allowed to ACT, to EXPRESS and that is the best part and the most worthwhile part of this move, and that's why I gave it 8.5/10 and not something less

THis movie is just a great chance to see lots of good actors in one place, allowed to express.

Poker-faced ML acting as a pshychopatic dickhead and a spoiled brat FL - and AMAZING villains

Oh someone in another drama said that this drama has a ROMANCE TAG. THAT IS A SCAM! there is no romance here!!!

The Husband was so sterile empty, there wasnt even a relationship between husband and wife, he was her eununch bodyguard and she was the client he protected. THere was NO FEELINGS whatsoever. Well I am exaggerating... there was like 2 minutes in all 12 episodes, only 2 short scenes where she cares for him while he has a cement face, and 3 seconds in the very last episode where they barely smile at each other. THAT DRAMA WAS A ROMANTIC DISASTER
Even when they meet again they are like two strangers accidentally bumping into each other at a subway stop. That entire drama showed such isolated people, it was icy cold and frustrating to watch

THE HUSBAND, IE THE ML, BEHAVED AS A PSYCHOPATIC DICKHEAD. He is poker-faced from start to end, with a few subtle expressions here and there. Like SML, the main villain in kdrama Lucifer. VERY INAPPROPRIATE FOR A ROLE OF A DOCTOR

The drama is worth watching for the villains. The 3 major villains are amazing!!!!! The serial killer husband is a lot better more affectionate husband than ML, and his poker face psycopathy is appropriate and very creepy
The mastermind villain is also a masterful actor here

A great Chinese counterfeit with Chinese flavor - hilariously funny

This is delightful! it is super crafty... lmao Chinese imported So Ji Sub to be THE hot guy, and then put a Chinese ML who looks like So Ji Sub somewhat but is not that well kept beautiful you know the deal with Korean skin and working out .... THis is 2009 movie but it has guys' bathroom scene just wrapped in a towel - I guess other dramas copied this one? So Ji Sub was SML and did not have to act much.... besides the towel scenes...

On the plus side, Chinese ML is a pretty good actor and is incredibly CHARMING and convincing as a hot lover. Highly recommended. If you want to see a really hot Chinese guy, this ML beats all the anorexic looking androgenous skinny pale boys with make up that are currently the rage in China. Those kids are ... nothing. Watch this drama to see a real one :)
Also this was before being skinny was so fashionable, So Ji Sub looks amazing in that towel, and also Anna actress looks WOW amazing. What a body. Also, the FL actress has nice legs you can see she walks and exercises, the legs are toned.

Also there are lots of Hwood tricks, including the names of the Chinese in the drama - Sophie, Gordon, Anna, .... and the facial gestures that look like Hwood...

BUT as usual, Chinese did a great copycat counterfeit and made it their own, this is actually hilarious and has that off hinge humor like Stephen Chow movies from Hong Kong, and I love it. It is really fun.

I just watched a phenomenal Chinese Counterfeit with real Chinese flavor and it is totally hilarious. Sophie's Revenge 2009 Chinese rom com with So Ji Sub as 2ML. He did not have to act much besides parade around in towel. But Chinese ML is his copy lmao but does not look that well kept, however, is a very good actor and super charming and really a hot lover. A lot better than the girly pale skinny guys with make up in current cdramas... The movie has Stephen Chow from Hong Kong humor, I love it. Link in spoiler
I really dislike most cdramas and cmovies bc they have the pompous overdramatic serious feel of a military parade, BUT once in a blue moon when Chinese make something good it is EXCEPTIONAL

Great story but to me, poorly filmed

The plot is beautiful and deep
but the filming... I could not take it. THE POINT OF THIS MOVIE IS TO CELEBRATE LIFE and all the connections of the Whole
yet the movie is so.... damp gloomy lifeless.

***The message of the movie is so warm and positive and light, and does not match the TONE of the movie, how it was filmed. *** So .... desolate, slow, and ... somehow... remote... Too soapy melodrama and somehow so ... flat dead.... slow sad.... lifeless...

And the music... ah so over the top and distracting.

So we NEVER get that feeling that the postman actually GOT the message deeply inside him and FELT IT DEEPLY

We see him riding around with his cat - that's the only thing the writer could think about????

So I just read the plot and fast forwarded through the movie.

Filmed properly, this would be a masterpiece.

Even more fun than #1. More sophisticated humor and plot, better acting

Lmao even better than #1 lmao The comedy is hilarious and the plot is super fun. #2 is more sophisticated humor and plot, and better acting. It is very well done.

Wow his wife
and wow the cat bait taking down 2 NIS guys who cant figure out what she is doing to them - and falling for the same trick over and over and over again..... once, twice, thrice... even saving her life bc he still likes her :( wow was that dumb....

The fun part of this drama is that it actually shows the flaws of what we think should be so flawless, like NIS
The Chief and the young one are shown as selfish and gullible, the Chief is shown as ... well... not very smart
Also, the drama is an advertisement for NIS, since Agent Jun is so skilled

Agent Jun actor in this drama acts a lot more convincing than in #1, I guess he is sold out on the idea that he should be filming this. In #1 he was kinda pretending and acting as if he had to lmao I guess after making money with the #1, he got convinced he should be serious about acting well in #2. It really worked. He is a very great talented actor. He must be quite a sly fox in real life, he seems super crafty and experienced in wheeling and dealing - and acting :)

Omg heavy ... ! but educational, star-studded thriller melo psych drama

Wow star studded cast and a great thriller psychological drama!

Wow so many kdrama stars in this drama!!! it is a fabulous cast!!!!

Why are some ppl frustrated with the ending?? It is a VERY clear ending - FL AND ML BECOME A COUPLE, MIN DECIDES TO COME BACK TO HIS HYONG, the Team survived, and the murderer is on the run in Korea and plans to cause trouble - and plans to meet them again...
So the ending is crispy crytal clear, nothing is open !!!!! it is very definite and specific

The only issue I found sometimes is the cold arrogant superior ML and dumb emotional overreactive FL - that specific flavor of deep sh.t sexism, the chronic disease in asian dramas...

FL is made the dumbest person around and too much plot is based in her stupidities and her being a nurse to ML who is abusive and cold towards her - and the only other female characer was super stupid too - REALLY DUMB - didnot leave any messages that she got the fingerprints, did not personally go to other ppls offices but went into a parking lot with her brief - HOW STUPID IS THAT????? DUMB DUMB DUMB and FL also was doing similar dumb stuff - so ML had to save her... STUPID SAME OLD SEXIST TRASH
AND
actors who look alive, not like skeletons and porcelan dolls like in year 2026 where BMI of 13 is desirable and all actors look lifeless and malnourished... !!!!

Also, I loved all the actors with Asian slanted eyes! wow such gorgeous men!!!! ML and Idol I ML are totally totally gorgeous

I really enjoyed seeing physically fit, athletic and muscular people with a properly functioning hormonal system, their complexion is something that so many are trying to achieve.

I cannot stand gaunty skeletons in newer dramas. So bye bye to that.

so FROM NOW ON:
I am wathing only physically fit healthy people on the screen - physically fit appropriate for their age, gender, body type, and general circumstances and health - everyone can be "physically fit" to the best of THEIR ability

If there is no new kdrama with those kinds of actors:
I AM WATCHING OLDER KDRAMAS

Season 2: study in toxic relationships

Yumi's Cell Season 2 is mostly about YuMi-BaBi relationship and breakuip and it is so... toxic to watch!!!! bc there is no love there, only two adults using each other for attention AND LYING TO THEMSELVES ABOUT IT

It is toxic bc there is no real love there. YuMi "finds solace in BaBi's attention"...

YuMi is just an ordinary, flawed, ignorant person, with some skillZ for life. She uses reason and thinks through stuff, but she put her Inner Self away into the desert and does not trust it, and she locked up her Deep Inner Desires into a jail underground.

is YuMi selfish? Hm... with BaBi, yes.... "finding solace in his admiration" IS SELFISH :) she is just taking from him.
With Woong... ? it is a mutual game. YuMi consented to kiss his as# to get his LustyDinosaur, whatever that blue t-rex was called. With Woong, YuMi was overly giving. But out of selfish reasons, she wanted something from him... and her mistake was to TOTALLY neglect all red flags so that she could get that.

I dont love to hate this show. I just thought a lot about what I saw. it is ugly :( and I wasted 14 hours. I think there was a FASTER way to learn all that.

i think the Cells are genious way to show what is happening under the surface. I felt like a detective, that I was able to see the "dissection" of human behavior. So in that regard, 14 hrs spend on this is not totally wasted. I was practicing my detective skills and learning :)

I predicted totally how both season 1 and 2 would go and how they would end :) and by watching the CELLS PART of the dramas, I learned a lot too

=====
season 1 is about ONE guy Woong. but BaBi is lurking in the background posing as YuMi's friend while he is breaking with his reporter ex
Meanwhile Woong has a "second wife" an ex from the past that consistently and openly butts in to get him away from YuMi
finally Woong dumps YuMi and she accepts bc Woong went off the deep end with the bankruptcy of his company and did not say a word about it - Woong is a lame proud arrogant selfish he-man man-child AND a fun boy toy, and she keeps kissing his as# to keep the fun boy toy

season 2 is about BaBI taking over YuMi, genuinely loving her... and once in a blue moon, Woong trying to come back and bailing out fast every time.
But the whole thing is slimey as YuMi got with BaBi not out of love, but to use him as a happy pill and to have him treat her like a princess. So she essentially leeches off him. And as soon as she is far from him, he finds another chick who kisses HIS as# and genuinely loves him. And YuMi stops "loving him" as soon as it is clear he cannot be 100% perfectly serving her 100% of the time.

So the cells makes this interesting. The stories are about flawed ignorant unaware people, and the cells show how these people operate.
Season 2 is so cheesy cringe bc both Woong and BaBi stay single and loyal to Yumi FOREVER although she dumped them.

YuMi is like this worm that just chews through men, using them for s.x, attention, etc.


=====
Season 1 is interesting only bc of the Cells... bc it shows the typical hormone-driven relationships that fall apart, how immature people think, what operates them inside to create those stupid external behaviors - how mismatched immature ppl get together for the sake of s.x and fun and keep it going for a short while until the first problems.

Woong is an arrogant dude and he keeps his "second wife" bc she strokes his ego, and he stays around YuMi only while his ego is stroked and looking grand. So he and YuMi used each other, and YuMi was a lot more giving, in order to keep her fun boy toy.

Season 2 is a study in toxic relationships. YuMi does NOT love BaBi and she gets together with him for convenience, takes him as a happy pill, "loves" him when it is all perfect, and loses any interest as soon as he is less than perfect. He essentially cheated by emotionally attaching himself to another chick, who was kissing his as@ and who genuinely loved him from the start, which YuMi never did. YuMi and BaBi relationship was majorly slimey, and BaBi was a lot more giving. YuMi was there as long as she was THE PRINCESS, and BaBi had to keep kissing her as@ and taking care of her.

The key problem is that YuMi is totally oblivious to her Hunch Cell and her Deep Inner Cell and is fact scared of them, so she keeps operating out of limited / dumb Emotions, Reason, etc

Season 3 is about .... ? hopefully real love for who the people ARE and a real relationship where both give and take and LOVE equally.

But there could be 100000 seasons and NOTHING WILL WORK AS LONG AS THAT HUNCH CELL IS FEARED AND PUT TO LIVE ALONE IN THE DESERT, AND DEEP INNER CELL IS BURRIED IN AN UNDERGROUND PRISON

YuMi is an ordinary clueless ignorant person, living life on automatic pilot. The interesting part is the Cells, we get to see how that all works

====
Season 2 was so soap...
Adult men moping after their woman for YEARS AND DECADES and unwilling and unable to have new relationships - and one woman having at least 2 great guys like that forever dedicated to her - wow what a super disgusting lie soapy cringe trope that shows up on most if not all dramas. So those moping men just do not have s.x all their adult life, or for so many years and decades?
WOW WE FOUND WHY S KOREA HAS THE LOWEST BIRTH RATE IN THE WORLD - and why hostess bars and prostitution are so normal in Asia.
The reality was shown by both Woong and Ba Bi. Woong was keeping his "second wife" at work, and Ba Bi found "second wife" as soon as he moved away. And both those "second wives" had NO problem butting in to steal the man from his official girlfriend. On the other hand, men who were told the girl is taken, backed off immediately. THAT IS THE TYPICAL REALITY

====
Just watched Yumi's Cells season 1 bc of really great review on byrei.ink - indeed it is a great study on how immature ppl get together for fun and then quickly break up. THE CELLS ARE SOOOO EDUCATIONAL AND DEEP!!!! I rated that 10 bc of its uniqueness and insights. I just fast forwarded through the cringe parts showing the external behaviors of two really dumb immature ppl butting heads without any communication.

Season 1 was about puppy young love based on hormones.

Then I watched 14 episodes of Season 2. And I feel very upset after, because it was about two slimey adults. YuMi using BaBi as her happy pill, to have someone kiss her as# and take care of her ALL THE TIME like she was a princess, and YuMi lost any interest and bailed out as soon as the dude could not deliver that all the time. And BaBi - he needs someone to truly love him, and I guess he wants someone to kiss HIS as# too, so he essentially cheated by emotionally attaching to a chick like that - and probably would have proceeded to switch ships at one point, JUST LIKE he was switching ships and jumping on to YuMi while he was breaking up with his ex.

SO SEASON 2 IS A STUDY IN VERY SLIMEY TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS.

And then this cheesy idea of 2 guys being loyal forever to one woman who used them while it was fun and then dumped them... SO unreal soapy!!!!

There was real stuff... both guys had "second wives", women who openly catered to them and tried to take them away from the official girlfriend YuMi. That is soooo realistic.
YuMi's male suitors behaved in typical ways of real life and backed off as soon as she said she has a boyfriend.

Overall, YuMi is a very ignorant unaware person and also a coward in many ways because she keeps her Hunch away in the desert and is afraid to listen to him, and also DEep Inner Self is burried in an underground prison.

So Yumi's Cells can have 10000000000 episodes where YuMi keeps using men, chewing them up while they are useful to her and then spitting them out.

In Season 1, YuMi has to kiss as# of Woong, to keep her fun boy toy. He is a moody arrogant man-child and a great boy toy
In Season 2, BaBi has to kiss as# of YuMi and make her feel like a princess, or else she loses interest in him. She gets with him not out of love, but for health reasons, to be treated like a princess, and loses interest as soon as he cannot be that loyal doting SERVANT ALL THE TIME. BaBi sold his soul and then could not resist his need for someone who truly loves him and gives to him, so he essentially chated.
BaBi needs someone who gives to him as much as he gives. BaBi did not have a mother and his father is cement, so BaBi needs real love, to be the center of attention.

Yeah BaBi is slimey too... He jumps ships as soon as it is not productive for him to stay.... As soon as "his woman" is "away" - he starts jumping ships...

So Season 2 is just ... ugly toxic muck bc it is clear these ppl are adults adn SHOULD be thinking...
BASICALLY SEASON 2 SHOWS THAT NOTHING WAS LEARNED FROM SEASON 1
and season 3 looks like the same concept


Season 1 is cute bc it is "starter kit"
but Season 2 is infuriating bc there is no progress whatsoever
the story just repeats
And Season 3 looks the same repeat...

Yumi's Cells Season 2 is so nasty because THE DRAMA IS DEAD FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES. It is not about love and aliveness. It is about INTENTIONAL TOXICITY, nobody is trying to become a better person, YuMi just scoots along with BaBi pushing her forward, and BaBi thinks this is the best "love" he can find for himself and BaBi "buys" this love by always being perfect and doting on the princess so that she would bestow her "love" on him.
So yeah, I feel furious after watching Yumi's Cells Season 2. It is a "waste of time" drama unless you want to really analyze toxic relationships.
The Cells is the only thing that is useful and worth watching here, to learn how ppl are able to slide into toxic relationships and maintain them for a long time.

I thought about this a lot. Season 2 is mostly about YuMi - BaBi relationship and fallout. Yumi's Cell Season 2 is so... toxic to watch!!!! bc there is no love there, only two adults using each other for attention AND LYING TO THEMSELVES ABOUT IT
It is toxic bc there is no real love there.

BaBi has no mother and his father is cement, so BaBi tries to "buy love by being perfect. YuMi never loved him really, she just used him to serve her like she was a princess. So as soon as he found someone else to kiss his as@ and love him, as soon as he found a better "investment", he took it.

BaBi's sliminess is that he starts switching ships as soon as his current ship starts sinking. He chased YuMi while breaking up with his reporter ex, and then he got Jeju girl as soon as it was clear that she was kissing his as# and loving him... So much better than uMi who honestly was just cold to BaBi and just enjoyed his taking care of her.

BaBi needs to find someone who will truly love and cherish him as much as he does love and cherish her. BaBi has a great capacity to love but very low ability to RECEIVE - then he falls for the first person who shows him appreciation and love.

YuMi needs to grow up too and pair up with a man who is equal to her. Woong was so much more childish and was essentially a boy toy, and BaBi was like a father/servant/nurse/sugar daddy to her. Seems like YuMi is a rather shallow person who picks the first guy who will give her s.x and attention.

===
YuMi is just an ordinary, flawed, ignorant person, with some skillZ for life. She uses reason and thinks through stuff, but she put her Inner Self away into the desert and does not trust it, and she locked up her Deep Inner Desires into a jail underground.

is YuMi selfish? Hm... with BaBi, yes.... "finding solace in his admiration" IS SELFISH :) she is just taking from him.
With Woong... ? it is a mutual game. YuMi consented to kiss his as# to get his LustyDinosaur, whatever that blue t-rex was called. With Woong, YuMi was overly giving. But out of selfish reasons, she wanted something from him... and her mistake was to TOTALLY neglect all red flags so that she could get that.

I dont love to hate this drama. I just thought a lot about what I saw. it is ugly :( and I wasted 14 hours. I think there was a FASTER way to learn all that.

>>>>>i think the Cells are genious way to show what is happening under the surface. I felt like a detective, that I was able to see the "dissection" of human behavior. <<<< So in that regard, 14 hrs spend on this is not totally wasted. I was practicing my detective skills and learning :)

Really fun kdrama about deep subjects

It is a kdrama for young at heart, since the place of the drama is a school, a lot of it is told from the students' perspective, and FL is a very ... naive teacher LOL

The ML actor is fantastic, he was soooo fun. His costuming was superb, the funky uncombed hair and open necktie LOL He was sooo fun to watch.

the issues presented were deep issues though, and involved corporate crime, school bullying, privileged elites, bad greedy parenting, as@ kissing to climb social hiararchy, the hierarchy itself and how even the kids participated in that willingly.

it really is a drama about intentionally creating and maintaining elites. A super deep subject camouflaged under school myths and gossips...

And the underlying story of ML's parents and what it means to be a secret agent, and a little historical lesson on Japanese occupation, etc

WHY was the drama taken off Viki and other places so fast after it finished airing?

Where is the ML actor now, he is really a fun actor, and I didnt see him since this drama. We miss him :) Come back soon

Great fun for 6 or so episodes and then becomes a trashy evil melodrama. Watch Moon Sang Min

SUMMARY: 2024 kdrama Wedding Impossible is so fun for the first 6 episodes, Moon Sang Min is a great great actor and comedian..

and then the drama tanks and becomes a toxic trashy melodrama, double evil, stupid ML and stupid FL bailing out at the first inconvenience... VERY stupid drama.

Moon Sang Min is a great actor though for acting "as if real life." And he is a great comedian too, he knows when to exaggerate just enough at the right time to make it a great comedy.

From ep 6 on, if you watch just his scenes, that is enough, the plot and everything is just junk. Too bad. It had a good start and then just FLOPPED
==========

WRITTEN AFTER WATCHING EP 1:
I just saw episode 1, it is Jan 2026.
I am watching bc ML actor is also ML in To my Beloved Thief 2026 historical drama. He is such an excellent actor and a fabulous comedian that I decided to check this drama out too. Omg. I love it. The script is tight, the dialogues are great, and the acting is stellar. WELL DONE DRAMA. I love FL character such a strong honest woman, and I love the acting of that actress

and yeah it is a smart drama and so the rating is so low ... MDL ratings are useless :) This is an excellent drama

===it is great UNTIL EP ... 6 or 7? BC THE DRAMA DRAGS THE SELFISHNESS OF THE GAY MAN WHO JUST WANTS TO GET MARRIED TO GET RID OF CLOSET GAY PROBLEMS. WHAT A JERK!!!
AND FL TURNS INTO A LAZY GREEDY JERK TOO AND JUST GOES ALONG AND KEEPS LYING
trashy script... very boring...
THEN.... the other brother goes off deep end and breaks with the love of his life...
THEN... she too dumps him.... !!!!!! IDIOTIC!!!! and it is totally unclear WHY except that it is two little kids..

What started well, has gone totally off the deep end. The script became trash. The drama is about 3 spoiled teenagers, well JiHan is least spoiled, but his bro is a snowflake slimey jerk, and FL is ... immature .... and then we have Grandpa CEO who is a super bad businessman, showing his conglomerate into hands of De Hon who does NOT want it. Grandpa has not learned ONE thing in all those years, and is a CONTROL FREAK to the point of being mentally ill.

The gay brother is a total complete monster jerk, soooo slimey selfish, it is ... well... pathetic. Then we have the dumb FL who helps that PARASITE. The parasite has an art studio in Korea, an art studio in NYC, lives his life with lots of money - as long as he keeps it secret that he is gay. Then he uses FL to marry her and camouflage himself and blackmails her she has to do that for him. WOW MORON.

SO overall, ... the drama is ... a story of 2 kids, their kid brother and a nasty grandpa trying to control them. But really most time in the drama is 2 or 3 kids on the screen.

And ML FL kids keep promising to each other there is no secrets, and NOBODY ever is saying hey the groom is gay. Common.... no secrets, ha?
And if you are a girl, you gotta be a midget and be up to the navel of the guys. What the heck is that, to make all females look like children???

then... the non-gay brother admits publicly he was chasing FL and then he DISAPPEARS, breaking up with her "to protect her".... ??? wtf??? what was that about??? I didnt not even understand this idiocy.... HOW is he "helping her"???? excuse me... ??? WHAT IS GOING ON in this drama?????

Then... this chick DUMPS HIM.... !!!!! wtf? ... what kind of plot is that.. ???

THIS IS A ***VERY STUPID**** TEENAGE DRAMA after ep 6or 7....

ep 9,10, 11 are IDIOTIC SCRIPT .... FL "doesnt want pain" and keeps bailing out and dumping her true love..... IT IS COMPLETELY STUPID.... and that guy - why did he dump her first... ???? WTF IS EVEN REASONING IN THIS DRAMA???

The actor I wanted to watch, Moon Sang Min is doing a great job of acting in this mess. He is the brother of the closeted gay and he wants his bride... who is too ... dumb....and lying... and sooo weak... and he too.. he dumps her... then she dumps him... then he comes to get her back... REally really DUMB toxic script... He is acting well in a script that is stupid...

So this year 2024 drama THAT IS THE SAME as old dramas where you have a super weak woman making dumb choices all the time to save her as# or to "help people" and TAKE EASY WAY OUT and in tthis drama, her true love ALSO makes such choices, so you have TWO DUMB PPL

In other words, this drama is totally evil. FL IS DUMB AND WEAK, AS USUAL, AND KEEPS CREATING STUPID PLOT PLUS HER MALE PAIR IS STUPID TOO,.... !!!!!

COMMON!!!! YEAR 2024 WITH YOUNG ACTORS!!!! WHAT BULLSHIT IS THIS???? Well millenial bullshit... Snowflakes..

And FL gives it voice over - how in life we CANNOT BE HONEST bc we lie to cover our cowardince and clumziness. WTF.... WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE IS THAT!!!!! for year 2024!!!!!!

---
The only adult in this drama is the 2FL, the "top 10 Forbes" female CEO. She is really worth her high position.

FL is a trashy cheap INSECURE weak looser who keeps making promises bailing out.
ML is a spoiled insecure brat.
Gay brothere was a slimey parasite and luckily quit that at the end.


====
So overall, this is worth watching for the first 6 episodes or so. It is fun and seems to be moving along.
Moon Sang Min is a great actor and a great great comedian.
He is super cocky and keeps advertising himself as good looking with a great voice, and sure you have to notice he is cute, bc he is such a good actor. He really acts well and cathes all comedy moments, he is hillarious.

Masterpiece worth 10 stars IF it did not have 2 minutes long lazy skimpy cheesy ending

If it were not for those last few minutes in ep 16, the very very very end of the drama, this would have been 10 stars drama. It ends badly, in a way that does not make sense. I thought ML Osu was smarter than that. So that is why I cannot give it 10 stars.

I understand that ML Teongsu chose to be the caked frozen Lucifer to the end. That is totally understandable. But Osu made so much progress and became a very wise person, and then... messed up, in the same childish way in the last 2 minutes of episode 16, in the same exact way as 12 yrs ago in episode 1.

Common, Osu!!!! You were supposed to be better than that!!!!! WHY are you the ML in a kdrama if you cannot hold your sh#t for 2 minutes????
Seems like the script writer was just lazy and/or dumb. Or a little Lucifer or YeongCheol... .

I was't sure how Osu would continue with his life ater ep 16 though, bc there was so much strife and grief that the other ML introduced, but I did have a realistic hope that Osu can pull it off...
so I hope that Osu's last mess up was NOT just a LAZY SCRIPT to avoid showing how he continues. Please script writer dont do that.
If Osu ending was inteed an intentional message, then this is 1 star drama, for brainwashing the audience into stupidity.

I watched this 2007 drama in December 2025, because there was not much current dramas that are worthy of watching and some just drove me bananas with bad trashy negative messages.
For example: 2025 kdrama Dynamite Kiss is like going back to 1950 to endorse sexual harassment at work by an overbearing CEO, towering over a stupid dumb weak poor female employee. That drama is SO TRASHY - everything about it - plot, acting, music, the audience, ... everything

So I detoxed with this drama. The title is .. hm... not great but illustrates the point. Someone who thinks they can outdo God and run the show as they want....

I LOVE this drama because the ML Osu is a real character and the actor is not a plastic pretty boy with skinny legs, and the actor ACTS... so well... He is alive, he is that character...

Unfortunately Osu stayed too dumb at the end. He had a chance to make it and did not... Such a waste of script and his life. I am angry at the ... dumb script writer.

THe pretty boy who does not act - the villain - could exist in the drama bc there was contrast and so much aliveness so one dead actor did not make the entire drama boring. The poker face flower boy was not dragging the drama down because the Osu actor was acting so well and in such ALIVE manner. So pretty face in permanent poker style was bearable - but boring :)

Modern kdramas put a pretty boy face as ML, and so many of those cannot act. they cannot even smile... they are some kind of model or something and can show only an arrogant serious face.... SOOOOOO B O R I N G !!!!! and most cannot act and it is stupidly unbearably boring. I am thinking recent drama Would YOu Marry Me - that ML was cute but after like 2 episodes, there was nothing to wach since he had that "let's get over this acting thing and go home already" bored arrogant look.

And most FL are pretty and cannot act - and often the script makes them into total dumbos so the only two faces they need to show is pain OR confusion..... maybe they trepidly smile once in a blue moon...

and these days, actresses are also dangerously skinny. Just seeing those starving children clunking their knotted knees and their O-shape legs out of malnutrition, just makes me scream for some food donations to make them HEALTHY and STRONG they are just ugly unhealthy skinny, no muscles on them.
Men area also forced into that skinny look, I notices their legs look so skinny and they really do not bulk up anywhere. A man should have LOTS of nice muscles, he should be buff enough to haul a deer or fish home... !!!!

The FL in this drama was a delight bc she was not a skinny skeleton like modern kactresses. I enjoyed seeing her butt and chest and a plump heatlhy face.

I loved ML physicality, he looked like .. a soccer player, strong legs and strong arms and body. He was not tall, he was not a pretty flower boy, but he was incredibly handsome and MEMORABLE and FUN to watch, he **** acted **** so well.

I LOVED this drama bc it has actors without a ton of white makeup on their faces. I enjoyed seeing their real skin, acne scars and everything. I LOVED seeing black hair, all shades of black, no bleached brown.
I LOVED the asian eyes and no plastic to make big western eyes

I cannot stand seeing asian actors trying to look white to appease to western audience and western MONEY. Please. Do NOT.

Osu actor is incredibly handsome and his very asian eyes are AMAZING, piercing like fire, attentive, alive EYES with INTELLIGENCE, I dont care what color or shape, I just care to see a LIVE INTELLIGENT HUMANE BEING behind those eyes
aka a human being.
I loved that ML Osu had no fancy clothes, and that he looked totally real, with musclular soccer legs, with a funky fashion, with a nerdy hairstyle, and SO REAL, the BOY NEXT DOOR whom you can ask out. He is that real.

I totaly loved the real life quality of this drama

I loved the positive messages of FL and Mr Cha... changing Osu's life... and not having an effect on Lucifer LOL

I did like that FL and Mr. Cha focused on little darling Lucifer and bringing him back.... however, they were too polite and totally skipped the fact that their little darling literally planned and pulled in 5-6 people to kill 5-6 other people and destroyed and used so many people. Little darling Lucifer is a MONSTER.... but nobody is saying it except Osu. The dumb chick FL and Mr. Cha kept giving l the message "oh poor little darling you were so hurt when you were young... and honey i disagree with your decisions since then .... and please just be happy from now on." Nonsense. The "decisions" are KILLING ORDERS. That is monstruous. Mr. Oh is a MONSTER turning other people into monsters and doing massive killings. The fact. So call the spade a spade.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE DRAMA WAS WRITTEN BY SOME DARLING OR WANNA-BE DARLING LUCIFER.

I loved the character growths, th redemption arcs, ... everything so deep and wise. I watch kdramas for stuf like that.

SO it was a huge letown that Osu did not pass the test and got stuck with that gun and doing stupid proud testosterone kind of stuff AGAIN... he grew so much and became someone I truly admired ... and then.. botched it. he did THE SAME THING he did 12 yrs ago and caused all this trouble. THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!

Too bad!!! Hence, a low rating from me. If it were not for those last few minutes in ep 16, the very very very end of the drama, this would have been 10 stars drama.

Also, FL was the typical dumb woman. Not as dumb as some others, but dumb. She fell in love with the QUIET POLITE CONTROLLED GUY IN BUSINESS SUIT, a poker faced guy in a nice white shirt, tie and business suit..... bc he seemed to be more impressive and also less threatening as he seemed "under control" at all times, never showing any emotions. HE WAS A ROBOT IN A BUSINESS SUIT and FL and her mother loved that... . FL skipped Osu because he was so rowdy and emotional and dressed so casually. However, Osu was the wise one. He was free and unpredictable and definitely would be more work, however, he was truly kind and wise and a LOT more fun.

****FL and her mother fell in love with a serial killer bc he was so polished****. And FL knew he had severe problems. Her mother had no clue and pushed the serial killer to date her daughter... STUPID WOMEN is the common theme of kdramas... ...

I also see how this drama was copied into Nine Puzzles, The Glory, etc. But none o them are as good as this one.

This one is good because we do NOT have a pretty boy face who cannot act. We have a REAL person, NO PLASTIC, AND 1000% AMAZING ACTING

The script is so tight, I was not bored at all for 20 episodes

Amnesia galore... a drama with great actors spoiled by cheap script

This drama was soooooo .... full of tropes....
and amnesia kept repeating and kept repeating... omg... that was soooo boring..

The acting was great except for the FL, that actress is young and is not quite competent of acting deeper stuff or real love,
and the actor who was her father was ... terrible. Well. his role was terrible too.

ML actor is great and I remember the drama just for him. he can act well.

This is a great review of it. This person loved this drama a lot more than I did.

A daily that started as decent and then stagnated

Lucia, the FL, behaved in ways that led to death of her daughter, then she takes revenge against others, without any self reflection.
Then she enjoys revenge and goes on a power trip and does many manipulative nasty things
but she is so dumb and so unfit for revenging that she keeps making serious mistakes, yet she always gets out unscratched by sheer luck

There is some good acting in here, some veterans like the CEO, some good villains like the Lawyer, some new actors coming up, like Mr Moon,

but overall, this is not the best drama out there but not the worst either - simply bc the script does not have the most tight and interesting story. If the script were more interesting, this crew would definitely make a better drama.

Character of Lucia is not quite .... intelligent, let us put it that way LOL which is ok. But the problem is that THERE IS NO CHARACTER GROWTH. THat is why I think this is a mediocre drama overall.

So perhaps this is my personal bias, perhaps someone dumb would enjoy watching Lucia and never be annoyed that she is the same person and as dumb in ep 82 as in ep 1.

The music at the start was terrible, so loud and hyperactive, but seems like around ep 70ish they changed the music to fit better with the scenes, which helped a lot

This drama is like a psychological thriller, the characters keeps scheming to outdo each other

To make the drama really interesting and quality, there has to be some inner struggle, character growth, change and improvement in people.
We never saw Lucia self reflect... We never saw Stella or anyone else self reflect.... Mr Moon did some but not enough..... Written later - Stella did self correct SOMEWHAT but we never saw her self reflect..

NOBODY HAS GROWN OR CHANGED FORWARD FROM EP 1 TO EP 82

FL WENT BACKWARDS

Lucia got a glo over and is a little more composed but she has not changed much, really. She is a little bit more confident.. but she has also become an evil person, lying and manipulating others under the pretense of "love." What she is doing to SeRi, pretending to love her while cursing her in the back. is pure evil. Lucia's inability to self reflect is a severe fault.

Later Lucia accepted Se Ri just bc she was a bio daughter LOL
Lucia is a mother for sure... but ... a really dumb one.

The whole drama was like a cartoon - the good guys kept winning by sheer luck, getting unscratched doing some reaaaaaly stupid stuff.

Again a weak FL and a stupidly caring man

The first few episodes are some nice storytelling of a by-chance first love, nice cinematography, and I love acting of ML actor.
it is a mismatch between a shallow, weak, dumb girl and a smart, dedicated, deep boy.

Then... they grow up and really cannot continue, she dumps him brutally bc it is convenient to her, but he is still stuck on her.

So, I dropped. I am tired of watching a grown man going after taking care of a woman-child.
FL is no match for the ML and he should NEVER try to come even close to her.

FL IS A WOMAN CHILD WHO IS NOW TWO TIMING
AND ML KISSES HER AS#.

How boring.

FAREWELL!

Again, FL who is immature, weak, lacks focus, and wants some boy toy when it is convenient for her
and ML who chases her, loves her and takes care of her bc he is ah so pure and dedicated.

The fact is, she is a sleazebag, and he is a moron, and the two should never be together. LET GO OF IT ALREADY

So many dramas like that lately - Surely Tomorrow, Our Universe, Practical Guide to Love, etc etc etc etc

DROPPED WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT

THIs DRAMA IS FOR VERY DUMB WOMEN TO FANTASIZE OF CAPTURING ATTENTION OF A HIGH QUALITY GUY FOREVER AND DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT AND HE WILL STILL ALWAYS BE THERE

HECK NO
