This drama was a nice surprise. I did not expect much, but the story was interesting. It's a shame it was shortened to 10 episodes.
Yes, I loved the lead couple's chemistry and kiss scenes, and that's why I watched this drama in the first place.
But the story and how the cases they were investigating were all connected to each other were quite interesting. However, it did feel like the story had to move faster because the production had time limits.
It could have been longer, maybe by 2 or 3 episodes. They could have gotten into the secret son's story as well. We barely saw anything about him, like what happened to him and how his parents forced him to do their bidding when they reunited with him. Or how his parents were forced apart when they were younger. It's a shame that this story was reduced that much, and this comes from someone who hates draggy stories.
We barely got to know the characters of the villains and why they ended up this way. Even the twin sister of the other prosecutor, we barely got to know about her. This story barely scratched the surface, and that's a shame.
Anyway, I'm glad our leads had a happy ending, Lee Chae Ha's father's name got cleared, and the villains got their karma. I recommend this drama!
I get that they're not the same story, but I still think they're quite similar in the basic concept. Both have a modern FL who transmigrates into a fictional world, becomes a character with a doomed fate, knows how the original story is supposed to go, and tries to change it. Of course, the settings and actual plots are different, but that whole premise is pretty similar to me.
I enjoyed this drama overall; the story was beautiful. However, although I enjoyed this drama and watched all of it without fast-forwarding any scenes, something felt missing. I couldn't fully get into it.
Honestly, the story did drag in some parts and moments, but the story made sense, and one thing followed the other. Plus, the leads met again in the present, and they really dedicated time in the drama to it. They even gave us reasons for how Nakun could go back in time, with his past self, Phop, being involved in it, and to help Nakun remember his past life as Klao and, of course, his relationship with Phop.
Time travel, reincarnation, isekai, transmigration, etc. stories usually end up not giving any time at all to the present, if the character ever returns to it, or they never make sense if the characters do go back to their present. So, I loved that about this drama.
Also, I liked the cast, characters, comedy moments, the temples were beautiful, and the production, costumes, music, etc. were all great. But something felt off for me; I cannot pinpoint what exactly.
For the couples, I liked the leads together; they were cute. As for the 2nd leads, they're not my favourite, but they're not bad.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama. I'll still give it a high score, and I do recommend it ^_^
Honestly, I did not expect much, but I enjoyed this short drama. It had hilarious moments and the story was light and nice to watch. I did not feel much chemistry between the leads, but they were cute together. The story is not bad overall.
I enjoyed it, not bad overall. It's similar to the first season. As I said for the first season, these types of shows or reality tv are not my cup of tea, but since it's in the form of a drama, I did enjoy it. I liked Lee Hae Ri and Seo Min Gyu together.
I only found one special episode, but it seems to be the ending. Although I would love to see season 2 where Toru goes to college and, of course, keeps meeting with Kishi.
Also, from this special episode, Kishi does seem to like Toru as more than a student. They both kept emphasizing that they are no longer in a teacher-student relationship, and they are not friends either. So, doesn't that mean their special relationship is on its way to becoming lovers? I hope so. They are cute together, and if they continue this story, I hope Toru confesses to Kishi, as Kishi seems like he would never do so himself.
Honestly, we barely know anything about Kishi. I would like to see more of him and his side of things.
Honestly, in the beginning, I did not like this drama that much, especially Toru's exaggerated expressions and how Kishi acts, which is cheesy as well.
However, I decided to stick with this drama a little longer and warmed up to it. Yes, the exaggerated expressions still annoy me but seeing how Toru changes for the better was refreshing. It also made me laugh.
Plus, this drama has great positive messages. It's very educational, and I love the message that studying can be fun if you treat it like a story or a game. Learning should be fun. Violence is not the answer; knowledge is. There were other great messages as well.
This drama may not be considered a BL drama since we do not see kiss scenes, etc. But for me, this is a BL drama. Toru really loves and admires Kishi, to the point that he wants to become like him. He thinks about him constantly, looks forward to seeing him, keeps his promises to him, asks him for rewards, etc. He definitely loves him.
As for Kishi, we do not see his side or hear his thoughts like we do with Toru, but we subtly see that he likes Toru to the point that he wants to keep being by his side. Kishi is the type to keep things professional, but with Toru, he crossed that line more than once. Plus, Kishi is wearing the earring that Toru gave him! So, for me, Kishi sees him as more than a student, even if he doesn't realise it himself.
I'm not that much of a fan of student-teacher relationships, but in this case, I really warmed up to these two, and I'm cheering them on. They are really cute together. ^_^ I'm off to watch the spin-off!
The story was not original or new, but it was not bad overall. It did drag in some parts, and in some parts, it was obvious what was going to happen, but I did enjoy it. After all, each episode was quite short, and the story was fast paced, especially towards the end.
As for the cast and characters, everyone did a good job. Their acting was good.
As for the leads, Xiao Xing Heng and Ning Chu Xi, they did not have the most sizzling chemistry, but they were cute together—not bad. I was actually shipping Xiao Xing Heng's bodyguard and Xiao Xing Heng's uncle together. I could sense some chemistry. ;D
What impressed me the most was the production. The costumes were beautiful, and the sets were exceptional. They were really pretty, especially the rooms and the gardens. For me, they were the best sets I have ever seen.
Honestly, this drama was not the best I have ever seen, but it was not bad overall.
Honestly, I did not expect much, but I really enjoyed this drama. The leads were cute and had great chemistry together. Their acting was great as well. The story was nice; it's a shame it was so short. Overall, it was a nice drama ^_^
Maybe I had high expectations, but I did not like the story that much. It was pure torture watching the relationship between Xiao Chen and Lu Feng. They get together, break up again, have misunderstandings, make each other jealous, and have no communication at all.
I have nothing against the actors. Their acting was great, they had great chemistry, and they were cute together.
However, I did not like their relationship in the story at all. The story started great but went downhill really fast. It took me days to finish this drama when I could have easily binge-watched it. But I couldn't watch many episodes at once; it was too tense and too much for me.
Thank heavens it ended on a happy note, and Lu Feng got treated. His obsession with Xiao Chen was too much.
As for the second lead couple, honestly, I wasn't that impressed and mostly ignored them. Anyway, not bad overall. Whether I recommend this drama, I don't know. It's not for everyone, but if you love toxic relationships and drama, maybe you'll like it.
Honestly, I did not expect much, but I did enjoy this drama ^_^ It's not perfect and had some draggy moments, like the competition with the Ming envoy, but overall, I did enjoy it.
I enjoyed the story, cast, characters, acting (everyone did a good job!), fighting scenes, the time travel story (my favourite), the comedy, and the production overall.
As for the female lead, I'm not a fan of Yoona's acting, and her crying scenes were unconvincing, but she wasn't bad here. Comedy roles do suit her. As for the male lead, considering he was the youngest among most of the main cast, he really did well. His acting was really good, and we see his character evolve for the better.
The focus of this drama was on food. Although I'm not that much of a fan of food dramas, it was interesting to see Korean food and how Yeon Ji Yeong (Yoona) fused old and modern cuisine together. I did enjoy it, but it did get draggy at times, as I mentioned above.
As for the leads together, they were cute, but I did not feel much chemistry between them. They did get a happy ending in the present, and I enjoyed seeing that. However, I was more excited to see her cooking team from the past appear together in the present. I really loved the cooking team; they were awesome.
I wish they could have shown us how the King ended up in modern times. Leaving it as a secret does not make any sense to me. But whatever, I enjoyed this drama overall.
Honestly, I didn't expect much, but I ended up enjoying it :) I liked the leads; they were cute and adorable together.
Yes, Han Tuo has toxic traits and is obsessed with Jun Xi, but since Jun Xi reciprocated his feelings and genuinely loved him in the end, it all worked out. I also liked the friendships and the family dynamics. Overall, it was a cute and pleasant story. Plus, it's short, so it's a quick watch.
