I enjoyed it! Very cute and fun Series!
I actually really enjoyed this series our start off by saying everyone keeps mentioning the last two episodes aren’t as good and that they tanked?? I personally didn’t see it??The series is a whole was just cute sweet bit funny a few tense moments and I did cry in the last two episodes but overall it was really sweet. All the characters and then the love triangle the way it all got tied up in the last two episodes was really really sweet throughout you kind of liked one character than liked another and I really liked the general when she passed. That did make me cry and I’m so glad heaven an earthly fairy survived and they got their little happy ever after.!!
Yeah, I’m not really sure why everyone said the last two episodes weren’t very good. I just watched them and they were really good. They answered most of the questions okay Bongsu had a really quick ending he just said goodbye and that was it and why didn’t understand it? It looked like he didn’t know his name?? But he was a child so I kind of forgave him for that and all worked out in the end!
Would definitely recommend this drama if you’re wanting something cute, funny fast paced bit of romance but a bit of fantasy as well.

10000% worth it !! this drama just had everything!
Wow this Drama is definitely up there as one of my top top topppppp watches!! Laughing and crying and everything in-between! There was romance there was sorrow there was confusion there was mystery there was semi revenge. There was happiness there was growth this drama just had everything in it that you could want!!This drama was so so refreshing. I would tell everybody and anybody (I already am!!) to watch this drama to feel all the feelings and to ride the journey with these characters 10000% worth it !!! The music is also incredibleeeee and added to my playlists for ever!
There’s so much say!! Firstly Park Bo Young is an incredible actress and I love to watch everything if she’s in it, her skills are just incredible and the way she was able to play twins in this series?! 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️💕
I really liked Mi Ji she’s the character. I fell in love with first her personality the way she came across she was strong but there was so many layers to her and you were so intrigued about the three years and everything that had happened and where she was and why she was there and what she was doing, I was obsessed! The quote her and Grandma came up with will always stick in my mind!!!
“Yesterday is over.
Tomorrow is yet to come.
Today is yet unknown.
Let’s go!”
Don’t even be surprised if that becomes my new life motto where did the screenplay come from? Who wrote this who directed this? Obviously I know the answers 🤭 buttttt I’ll definitely be looking at their other work. This was incredible.!!
Another quote I loved was "love isn't about winning or losing. It's about remaining on the same team until the very end even if you lose. Love is about staying together even if you lose a hundred or a thousand times."
Then we have Mi Rae at first I found it really hard to get on with her because she just came across so closed off and frosty but when you got to know the character she again was just so relatable! I really liked that she got back at everybody at the business and that she didn’t let it slide. What happened I do think that storyline was so clever and so well written! The brother?! Kim Tae I I’m sure I’ve seen him in other dramas and I was just so impressed with his character. I did not expect him to be who he was. I definitely thought he was gonna be a bad guy and he turned out to be so awesome.!
Okayyyyy Park Jin Young who played Lee Ho Su in this drama I’ve never heard of him and now I can’t forget this actor/singer/everything his acting skills was so impressive. I genuinely thought he was just an actor if that makes sense?? to find out he’s also part of a K-pop group GOT7 I’ve already started listening to their music. Lee Ho Su Was such a lovable character he just had adorable written all over him! I was quite concerned at the end thinking it was gonna be a break up and they were gonna leave it like that. I’ve seen dramas where that happens but the fact that he opened up and he grew his character was just so incredible, he didn’t let anything phase him and when it did, he worked through it.
Won Mi Kyung played Kim Ro Sa Restaurant owner and Cha Mi Kyung played Kang Wol Sun, Mi Ji and Mi Rae's grandmother. Both these actresses need a round of applause their characters had me crying full on bawling my eyes out with their stories! Kim Ro Sa Character was so colourful one minute you thought she was just this angry restaurant owner the next minute you looked behind the layers and you saw this beautiful woman who you just wanted to be your neighbour and someone that you knew, I was so worried about the Sun and when it all came out and then it was saved, I was crying!! grandmother … what an actress it was nice at the end to see that final part to see and show just how well she was portraying her ill illness because at the end it was almost a completely different person! I cried so badly when she said to Mi Ji that she could hold on a bit longer if she needed ughhhhh my little heart!!
I enjoyed seeing actors and actresses that I’ve watched before appear in this drama and I am not just taking about the main characters! to highlight a few others would be Shim So Young playing Lee Hyo Gyeong [Planning and strategy team senior] Kim Sun Young as Yeom Bun Hong [Ho Su's mother], Jang Young Nam as Kim Ok Hui [Mi Ji and Mi Rae’s mother] and Im Chul Soo as Lee Chung Gu [Ho Su’s senior] they made this drama so enjoyable and entertaining! The mums were so opposite yet they were both so funny in their own way and seeing the back stories too was amazing! I think I would have liked a bit of back story to Ho Su’s senior Lee Chung Gu his character was so interesting!
All the roles and characters created in this drama was so well executed and all the up-and-coming actors and actresses. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the other dramas that they’re in because they were just so good!! Park Yoon Ho who was Lee Ho Su [Teen] 👏👏 and Lee Jae In who was Yoo Mi Ji | Yoo Mi Rae [Teen] incredible!!
I am curious the choice at the end for Mi Rae and Han Se Ji… where they friends or more?? I could not quite understand I feel like he had feeling for her especially at the airport and then the end scene where they smiled??? 🥹💕
It was wrapped up so well as a series and I can’t wait to see what both writers, directors andddd actors / actresses do next!

fantastic all round series it had it all!!
I honestly really loved pretty much everything about this series. It was just the right length and it had a bit of everything!So I haven’t actually watched Park Bo Gum before not on purpose. I’ve just never come across their acting in a K drama that I’ve watched.. I can’t lie I was blown away their character Yun Dong Ju was just played so so well it was almost just perfect for them and it’s no surprise that I will be watching more dramas with this actor in!!
Yun Dong Ju and Han Na (played by Kim So Hyun) had such a soft buildup to the relationship you could see there was a past but it wasn’t heavy. It was just really easy-going and lighthearted.
However… there was a semi love triangle sort of thing going on which I think if it wasn’t Kim Jong Hyeon (played by Lee Sang Yi) I don’t know if I could’ve got on board with it as much the fact that they all just worked in the same department or same team it was insane! I also really like Lee Sang Yi so for him not to get the girl in this part was so sad and I think if it wasn’t such a good series and the two main main characters didn’t work so well then I would’ve wanted Han Na and Kim Jong Hyeon to get together!! But I also really loved the bromance between Kim Jong Hyeon and Yun Dong Ju!!
Min Ju Yeong played by Oh Jung Se .. wowwwww what an actor what a character it was just incredible every time you thought you’d figured him out you got a curveball!! I couldn’t quite tell at the end in the prison cell if that person had come in to kill him or if he was killing that person and then putting on the uniform and escaping? I think that character just had so many curve balls I just wasn’t sure if that was the final curveball.???
Another couple that I really wanted to make it to the end was Drugmon and Black Cat Leo?! it tore my heart to pieces when he got shot!! And she gave him her real name like tears!!! My heartttttt Lee Ho Jung and Ko Jun just looked so good together in this series their characters were so perfect for each other and I was really impressed!
Man Sik played by Heo Sung Tae and Jae Hong played by Tae Won Seok were the other two members of the Olympics policing team and I do think without them the team would’ve been severely unbalanced. They just brought the right amount of comedy and softness to the group. Their characters were a bit softer but still lovable.
I did not like when the noodle restaurant owner told Yun Dong Ju to stop coming round like what did he do? I get it but it was so upsetting and then to just to turn around after a near death experiencing go I’m sorry you’re like a son to me. It’s like hello?! he was always there!! Glad for the happy ending but still annoyed hahaha
They were so so many guest rolls and stars in the series that were like in and out it was so incredible just to see them all. I can’t name everybody my reviews already gonna be really long but every single guest role was noted and every guest role was perfect!!
I will say that points when Yun Dong Ju and Han Na were kissing there was no OST ..? it was just the sound of lips kissing and I’ve never heard that before. It was a bit odd for me not here to judge. It was obviously a part of the script but I think I’m just so used to the normal K drama OST kicking in so for me it wasn’t great. However the OST‘s I am obsessed with this series!!
I also liked on the last episode. You got a look into the behind-the-scenes and the outtakes which was really funny!!
I really really did enjoy this drama and I’m so glad I watched it live as well because that just added to the anticipation of when the next episode was gonna come out and I would say if you’re looking for a little bit of closed door romance a lot of action mystery a bit of crime scene murder mystery this is definitely the drama for you!
