I unexpectedly loved it! :D I randomly decided to watch this drama and really enjoyed it! :D It was hilarious xD
They made the usual cliches troupes like for example amnesia and then poked fun at it. That was really hilarious! I hate amnesia, but the way Noh Go Jin said that it's not a drama and the twist was that he was acting like he had, was really hilarious :D
You can say there were dark moments, especially when Lee Shin A found out she was sick, but as the story progressed and this is a light and comedy drama, I had a feeling that it would be a misdiagnose. And I was right!
For the story, you can say it's nothing special or new, we all had seen it before. Plus, the story was predictable, and I guessed most of the time. However, it was done right, one thing led to another, no draggy scenes (at least for me) and even the last episode and the story was wrapped up nicely ^_^
Also, it was interesting to see about instructors, that I had never seen before. It was the usual office drama, but it was related to the education sector. They're not teachers in a school, but more online teachers who focus and help students pass specific exams of their country, in this case South Korea.
For the leads, they were cute together ^_^ They were a bit rigid, but I liked them together. The scenes when they fight, was really hilarious! :D
For Kyrstal, I do not like her that much as an actress, especially in a rom-com drama (in My Lovely Girl, I did not like her at all), and she suits more in serious roles (like in Player), but I can say she improved a lot here and enjoyed her more :)
Definitely watch this drama! Unexpected a good one ^_^
I loved it! It was intense and kept me hooked from the beginning till the end!
I was not expecting a love scene between Yoon Ji Woo and Jeon Pil Do. It felt out of place honestly. But then I said hey, it's something positive for Yoon Ji Woo. But then Jeon Pil Do got killed by Choi Moo Jin, and I'm like WTH!!!
For the ending, I don't know what to feel for her. She got her revenge, but was it all worth it? Many people died, and now what? It was left in the air. Like what happened to her? Did she take Choi Moo Jin's place?
Anyway, great cast, characters, loved the acting, great production, awesome fighting scenes, etc. I really enjoyed it overall.
I honestly did not think that the story would be this good!
I mostly decided to watch this because: 1) A bl drama, of course :P 2) I love Gun and Off together. They are both good actors, they are the best among the GMM actors, and they have amazing chemistry and kiss scenes together <3 3) It was not that focused on school and romance only.
The story was really great! I also loved the thriller part, it kept me on edge :D
I really loved the message that violence is not the answer to everything. That you should use other ways and methods to show how you disagree with those people in power who exploit other people and exploit the county.
Of course, media should be used and that is one of the ways to spread a message. But it was interesting that in this drama, they used Art and even a little bit of dance to show that it's a way to show your disagreement with something.
Yes, ok, people in power tend to get away with it most of the time, the law is most of the time in their favour, they use money and connections to get away with lots of things, etc. However, if we use violence or revenge, we end up doing the same as them. It's a vicious cycle that never ends.
I'm not a saint though, it's really difficult not to get violent or angry. But like in this drama if we work together, little by little, we can get there. Two heads are better than one.
Anyway, definitely worth checking this drama out! ^_^
Finished! Honestly, I don't know what to feel. For the story, I liked it and did not at the same time.
It had moments I loved, but there were moments that it felt off for me or too dark. I don't know exactly. Ok there were comedy moments, but like in the middle of the story, it felt too dark and sad. I had to stop it and started watching other stuff.
It's not that I hated all of it though. I liked the beginning and then I mostly loved from ep 12 onwards. The story picked up from there on, especially the plot about where Moon Sang Tae's fear of butterfly came from and Ko Moon Young's mother.
On the other hand, I loved the acting, the cast, and the characters. I loved seeing how Moon Kang Tae, Ko Moon Young and Moon Sang Tae evolved. Ok, they still have flaws at the end, but they faced their fears, moved on, became happy and are a family.
Also, I really loved how they linked each episode with a story. I loved when an episode of the drama narrates a story, show cartoon characters, and then link it to what is happening in the story of the drama.
And the books are really beautiful. If they really exist, I will definitely buy them. Although, I don't know how they are children's book. Some of the were dark. Though, I would buy them for myself ;)
Overall, I liked the drama. It brought more awareness about mental illness, how trauma can affect people, how it affects other people, how it affects family members, etc. You can say that this drama had realistic moments, and there are many painful moments. Maybe, that is why there were parts I did not like. It was too sad and painful.
Anyway, I think this drama is not for everyone. But I still recommend anyone to watch it :)
A very entertaining article! I really enjoyed reading it :D
I'm a bit 'related by dramas' type, but I mostly consider myself a 'story addict' fan.
I have watched Asian dramas for 13 years now, but I do watch dramas, series, movies, films, cartoons, anime, etc of any country. As long as a story is interesting, I want to watch it and the language is subbed (if possible no dubbing and watch it in the original language), I can watch anything ^_^
Although it was the typical rom-com drama, where we see one of the usual plots like the male lead offers a contract to the female lead to be his fake girlfriend, etc; I loved how it was straight forward, to the point and no extra draggy stuff and scenes. It was hilarious, light, cute and sweet to watch <3
Moreover, I loved the chemistry with all the cast and characters.
I loved the families of Shin Ha Ri and Kang Tae Moo, the sismance between Shin Ha Ri and Jin Young Seo, the bromance between Kang Tae Moo and Cha Sung Hoon, the couples Shin Ha Ri and Kang Tae Moo + Jin Young Seo and Cha Sung Hoon and Shin Ha Ri's team in the company.
Also, I enjoyed seeing work related stuff of the company, in this case about food. Like they were integrating western food with South Korean food, and other types of food. That was enjoyable to watch as well ^_^
Honestly, some might say that it needed more episodes, but for me it was perfect! I got what I needed in a rom-com drama and left me feeling all happy and mushy inside :D
I liked it! It was cute, light, and sweet, especially the last episode ^_^
I loved how the ring was tied to many characters and brought them all together.
Although there were some exaggerated parts, I liked how realistic the situations were. I think that many can related to them, although it was more in the positive side.
So, from what I remember from the story and my opinions, the story explores doubting whether the person you are with is suitable to marry him/her, love between couples, finding love from your past, finding new love, love between family members, loving yourself and finding and pursing your dreams.
Also, it explores that marriage is not the answer to everything, marriage is not to be rushed, you always learn new things about each other, we should never take each other for granted, it's ok to divorce or separate if the marriage is not working anymore, if you have found the person you want to be with, embrace him/her as life is short and we do not know what will happen in the future.
Finished! I honestly ended up loving this drama despite that there are many who were disappointed in it.
Ok, it's not perfect, as 16 episodes were too much. Like it could have concluded the story in 12 episodes.
The extra parts were the second leads, their story was turned into a love triangle with many unnecessary parts. And they like officially got together in the last episode, so happy ending for them.
Also, what I found draggy and felt my heart stop was when they both got amnesia and forgot each other. I'm like 'Oh no!' 'They went through a lot to get here, and they forgot each other!!!' I hate amnesia! But thankfully, they found their way to each other in an episode and that for me was an extra unnecessary episode.
On the whole, I loved the story. I loved the idea that there is a being called Doom, who is neither a god nor a human, and his role is being the darkness or the winter, like what Tak Dong Kyung called him. He is like the Yin in the yin yang principle.
I loved how the contract took place near the end. It was confusing at first for me, but then I understood it. My conclusion is.....
Tak Dong Kyung made a wish and cursed for everything to end. Doom / Kim Sa Ram heard it and he could hear it because she really meant it. Moreover, he wanted it to become true since he hated humans and the world, they live in. However, he could not destroy it, and a chance came by when Tak Dong Kyung made that wish. As only humans themselves can end humanity and their world.
So, since Tak Dong Kyung was sick, he proposed a contract. Tak Dong Kyung must wish for humanity and their world to end after 100 days. If she does not do the wish, aka violates the contract, someone she loves will die instead. Also, she would get to heal from her sickness.
Anyway, after a hate relationship between them, hurting each other and getting to know about each other; it blossomed into love. Long story short, Tak Dong Kyung could not wish for the world to end after 100 days passed + contract was violated + the person she loved the most was Doom himself + he disappeared + she healed.
It was sad at first for Tak Dong Kyung to lose the person she loved the most. However, a happy ending for them as Doom / Kim Sa Ram came back as a human. It was like a trial for him apparently.
Anyway, there are some parts left in the air if you want to nick pick. But, overall I really enjoyed it! :D The leads were so cute together ^_^
Loved it! :D The story was hilarious, cute and light. But, it addresses what women experience in their everyday lives and in their careers as well. I loved that they made it that men got to experience it instead.
I'm a feminist, but I would not like it either if the situation is reversed. From this drama, we can say that it's not good at all either if women or men experience it.
An example: in one world, women get catcalled or get their bottoms touched by men VS in the other world, men get catcalled or get their bottoms touched by women. Like from the two parallel worlds we see two extreme sides, and neither are good.
Anyway, this drama makes you reflect, but you have to enjoy it as it is ^_^
It had cliche and cheesy moments, but I loved that the focus was about family and the problems that they can go through. Moreover, a family can have its ups and downs, misunderstandings, fights, etc. But if we learn more about each other and try to understand each other, we can always reconcile and be happy.
I also loved the messages they gave us as well. I also loved how they showed us that even if society or people judge us, it's ok if we live our life in the right way and to the fullest. I also loved the message that it's ok to stand up for yourself when someone does you wrong, either at work or anywhere really. There are many more messages and themes in this drama. I love how they managed to fit them all in this drama and made them came together.
I loved the twist about the black nail polish. They made us think that someone knew that Hong Dae Young got younger and at least I thought that they were gathering evidence to expose him. However, it turned out that it was a stalker and was keeping an eye on Hong Shi Ah instead. But then we also see an ex-high school classmate of Hong Dae Young and Jung Da Jung who also wore black nail polish, so it could also be her keeping an eye on Jung Da Jung to write bad comments about her.
Anyway, I loved this adaption from the American movie 17 Again. I loved how they showed us the switch between the 37-year-old Hong Dae Young and the 18-year-old Hong Dae Young.
Btw, the genre may not have listed comedy, but it had moments where it was really hilarious and made me laugh so hard. However, it had sad moments or touching moments and that made me cry. It made me feel lots of emotions!
Loved it! I loved each episode and story. It made me cry, smile, laugh, feel sorry, sad, happy, etc.
Also, I loved the characters and cast.
I loved that I got to learn about pharmacists in a hospital. I did not know about lots of things, I learnt a lot ^_^
It's great that Seno Shogo's experiment treatment worked. For a moment, I felt my heart stop and thought that he died. But it's a happy ending and the team got together again, with new people in it :D

The acting was a bit off as well, but the leads were cute together.
I wish Kim Jun Ho lived. I would have forced him to take my blood or do something else at least. And Choi Min Hyun did not see the ring!
Not bad on the whole, it's a fast watch, so the story hits you and like you move on.
It had cliche and cheesy moments, but I loved that the focus was about family and the problems that they can go through.

It was not perfect as the CGI of the animals was bad and the flying parts sometimes did look fake, but I still enjoyed it ^_^
