I liked the beginning of the story, but then it became a bit boring. Also, parts of the plot and characters were left in the air. Plus, the story ended in a cliffhanger, and it needs to be continued. But it’s not bad overall. It’s a fast watch.
This drama is by no means perfect, but I enjoyed it overall.
Yes, it had draggy moments and sometimes the comic relief was not funny, at times it was too much or did not fit in the scene, at least to me. I think there were too many characters for it. Like there were the office trio, the gangsters and the butler and secretary couple. I liked the characters, and they were hilarious, but at times it got too much and exaggerated.
I enjoyed the story overall. I liked the back story of the demon, his ''job'' and the clocks hall was interesting. It's original. Also, it makes sense that if you wish for something, you pay it back.
As Rumpelstiltskin says from the Once Upon a Time series, ‘Magic always comes with a price.'' Sometimes, I would feel sorry for those characters who Jung Koo Won made a deal with and they were genuine. But at the end of the day, you made a deal, and you must pay it back.
Also, what I enjoyed in this drama was that I did not guess who the ultimate villain was. It started with the man who changes his face, Ki Kwang Chol, to Noh Do Kyung and to Noh Suk Min. It was a whole cycle. They were all excellent actors. Actually, an excellent job to all the actors, most of them were brilliant.
Moreover, I did not expect for ''god'' to show up and as a beggar to boot. That was interesting as well.
Btw, I enjoyed the historical parts as well, I kind of guessed that Do Do Hee and Jung Koo Won would be somewhat connected from the past. Like the characters are always connected, especially when one of the characters is 200+ years old.
Now Do Do Hee and Jung Koo Won as a couple. They were cute together, but something felt off and I did not like them that much. Like how the story was going, it was like they had to be together. Maybe the chemistry between them? Or the acting of the lead? I did not hate them, but I did not feel that much towards them. I’m glad that they had a happy ending though.
As I said this drama is not perfect, and it would have been better if it was shorter. But it was good overall, I did enjoy it. It took me 2 years to watch it as it did catch my interest, and I did want to watch it someday and I'm glad I finally did ^_^
It's not that bad overall. But it’s more 'that I did not like it that much' borderline. The start of the story made my blood boil, but as the story went along, it got a bit better.
For the story, it was poor at times and draggy. I fast forwarded many scenes. For the kiss scenes, they were good at times. There were a lot, so I cannot complain.
For the acting, it was lacking at times, however not bad overall. For the actor playing Elyes, he's a bad actor. Like he had the same expression most of the time. Yes, he's tall and handsome, but he cannot act. Yes, ok he had an annoying and frustrating character, so I'm biased towards him. But no, his expressions were mostly the same from the beginning till the end of the drama.
For the characters and the relationship between Pat and Elyes. It was frustrating and now that I have finished this drama, I'm wondering how they the heck they are together and I cannot be happy for them. Like Pat was and is a doormat. Like please stand up for yourself! Like tell Elyes what he's doing wrong or how he's upsetting you! No, he says 'it's nothing' >_<
On the other hand, Elyes's character is mean and evil. Like ok he was a playboy, hence the title, but he was cruel, especially towards Pat. He did things on purpose and hurt him. To be fair, he did change for the better and treated Pat better as the story went along.
However, Elyes is beyond hope. Like Kim had to tell him to confess to Pat and to tell Pat that he loves him back. Like literally the last 4 minutes of the drama, Elyes told Pat he loves him. Not that I believed him, but whatever, thank God I finished this drama.
I enjoyed this drama; it made my heart flutter and blush <3
Although, in the beginning of this drama I could not see Yoh and Segasaki being together as a couple as they lacked communication. Plus, they are different and have contrasting thoughts, personalities and jobs. Like their relationship was super weird.
However, as the drama went along you could see that they both are in love with each other, or more obsessed with each other, and they somewhat complement each other. They were cute together ^_^
They never said that they loved each other out loud (Segasaki kind of did when he read Manju’s manga about them out loud, but Yoh did not get the message), but the subtle details show us that they did. It was refreshing and nice to watch. I rarely watch a drama like this, either BL or straight. I admit it was frustrating at times, but getting to know the lead characters helps us understand why.
I'm glad they both opened to each other at least to a certain point. Like there are still some misunderstandings between them. Segasaki probably still doesn't know that 'the glasses guy' is Manju's husband lol.
For the actors, their acting was great, and they had great chemistry together. As a Japanese BL drama, their kiss scenes were good.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama. It took me 2 years to watch it and I'm glad I finally did ^_^
Overall, I did enjoy this drama ^_^ It was hilarious, and I loved the cast and characters. Plus, the leads were cute together, had great chemistry and their relationship was healthy and beautiful.
However, it got too draggy and there were many unnecessary scenes and moments, to the point that it got too ridiculous.
Also, another thing I did not like is how they turned the second male lead into a villain like in the last 3 episodes. It was too much and fast paced.
For the ending. For a moment, I thought the leads would be separated, but they meet again in the present and real world. We can say it's a happy ending and I'm happy for them.
But the ending is confusing and there was no explanation in how the male lead came to the real and present world. And then in the next scene, we go back to the comic world, and they have kids. I’m not going to dwell on it and leave it as it is.
Anyway, I did enjoy it overall, it was a nice drama.
I enjoyed this spin-off drama, and I loved the leads together ^_^ They were so cute and sweet together. I loved their kiss scenes, and I loved their chemistry. They made me blush <3
However, something feels off in this drama and I just don't know what exactly. Maybe the story? Like there were many rushed moments and plots. I get it's a short drama and it's a spin-off, so you can't repeat stuff from Anti-Reset. But, I still enjoyed this drama, it was interesting, enjoyable and nice to watch.
Also, I loved the ending, and I loved that despite the relationship between a human and a robot has many obstacles, from the photos, we see that Luo Bu Shi was 50 something years old, and they were still together ^_^
For the second leads, they barely had any story or scenes. I feel nothing towards them, and they just got together for the sake of having a second lead couple in the drama.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama. Plus, it's a short drama so it's quick to watch ^_^
I enjoyed this drama overall. I loved the story, the characters, the families, the friends, the couples, the dynamics between the characters, the hilarious moments, the sad moments, the work sides of each character, the back story of the characters, etc.
However, at times the story was too draggy, and it could have been much shorter. There were a lot of scenes and moments that dragged on and I did fast forward a lot of these scenes. Like I knew this drama was going to be draggy from episode 1. It started when Bae Seok Ryu returned to her country and her home.
For the couples. My favourite couple were the second lead couple, Jung Mo Eum and Kang Dan Ho. Their relationship and love were a breath of fresh air. I wish that they had more scenes.
I did enjoy the lead couple, Bae Seok Ryu and Choi Seung Hyo, do not get me wrong. I loved them and their chemistry. But their story and love that starts from childhood friends, ignoring their feelings towards each other until their adult years and then finally became lovers after lots of twists and turns; is now overused.
It's always the same in K-dramas, like the lead characters would somehow know each other from their childhood. It's getting boring. I used to love rom com K-dramas more when I was younger, but maybe now I'm older or maybe my tastes have changed. But rom com K-dramas are not that interesting anymore.
However, even though it has faults, I still enjoyed this drama :)
Loved it! <3 It was cute, adorable, beautiful and sweet <3 It made me feel giddy from the beginning till the end, with some moments that made me cry. I loved the story, it was beautiful.
Moreover, I felt scared in the last episode when Yang Zi Xiang's cousin came to threaten him with a gun and threatened him with Jiang Shao Peng as well. I thought someone was going to die. I knew it was a light-hearted drama, but I got scared at that moment and then I felt relief as the gun had no bullets.
For the couples, I loved them all. The leads and even the second leads really had great chemistry, and I loved their kiss scenes. They were all so cute, adorable and sweet! <3 I think there was a potential GL couple, I shipped Song Shu He and Jessica together.
Overall, I loved this drama. I patiently waited for it to finish and binged-watched it in 2 days! I would have been faster, but I had work. My only complaint is that it was too short. I would have loved to see more. Anyway, I recommend this drama!
I enjoyed the second season as well. It did feel long, boring at times and overly dramatic. I did fast forward some parts, but I enjoyed it overall.
I agree with some of the comments below, women had no chance at all to win. The games were more male centered, so in my opinion, they could never win. They all did their best though and did not complain, at least on camera.
For when they chose the members. I enjoyed seeing that women were chosen earlier on compared to season 1, although there were still comments like 'let's not pick a woman' etc. However, it was better than season 1, so let's close one eye. But I insist they should have separate games for women, the games were too hard for them.
For the games and the underground theme. It was interesting, and I could never guess what the next game will be and what the competitors will compete in. Overall, I did enjoy the show, and it was exciting as well.
Congrats to the winner, he deserved it. He was excellent, with luck he survived the elimination and made it to the finals. I really believe that luck plays in winning as well. And of course, hard work and determination as well. I did root for Hong Beom Seok, he was excellent as well.
I don't know if I'll watch season 3, but I'll probably get curious and watch it. Especially since the games are usually interesting.
It was cute and sweet <3 But the 'You Are Mine' couple should not have appeared here. They had theirs and that's it. It's like they used them to fill in the 30-minute special of the VIP Only couple, as like they did not know what they were going to do for them.
This special was so cute and fluffy! <3 It made grin like an idiot. The photoshoot and the proposal were perfect :D And they gave us lots of kiss scenes <3
I enjoyed this drama; it was interesting, and the leads were cute and lovely! <3 The drama had a calming feeling that I really enjoyed.
For the ending, the 7-year gap separation was too much, but I'm glad it's a happy ending :) For a moment, I thought they were going to do an Absolute Boyfriend storyline and separate them. They did make a reference to it.
Yes, the romance between a human and an AI, and an AI developing a conscious is still considered far-fetched and sci-fi, let's say at least in this present.
But who knows? Maybe in the future, this will be real. Maybe I cannot imagine how the relationship will work, and many doubts will form, like in the drama. Like is love real between a human and an AI? Is it the setting or the code? etc. But who am I to judge love between a human and an AI? Or any type of love? Love comes in different forms and shapes.
Overall, the drama was not perfect, but I enjoyed it ^_^
1 
Yes, you're right. I forgot about the twins and their mother. So, there were actually 4 groups for comedy characters, that's too much.

The leads of Lovely runner have met in high school, at least one of the timelines.

I loved the guest appearance of Boss and Fort. It would have been better if all four of them appeared, but nonetheless, I enjoyed this special ^_^
