How to be a people pleasear | lack of romance
So sad to watch another drama where the FL is an example how to be a boxing bag, how to be a victim, how to not trust yourself at all, to be a people pleasear... the toxic life of koreans.... to be abused but to continue the contact, working with abusers. I dont understand how can be an example for young girls that whatch this kdrama.How can you have, treat with kindness, even visit a frind that always wanted nothing for you. Bullying is a thing that koreans like so much... it become a normality to entrain.
I would have loved to see how she fights for her, how to gain self-confidence, to be in her own power, how to stand for yourself, how to speak for yourself.
The romance is absent completely.
There are some beautiful stories also and for this I give it a 5 but I don't recommend.

Masterpiece like an old handwritten letter
One of the best kdrama that I watch and felt with all my being. It’s about resilience, survival, and the kind of love that doesn’t need to be shouted from the rooftops. Loved everything, from writing, acting, that is beyond words, how they developed the characters, an wonderful real life put on screen for inspiration of true partnership, hardworking, love, family, courage story about breaking generational trauma and the cinematography is like a poetry. At the beginning it was not my cup of tea, but somehow I felt to continue watching and yes, I am so grateful to watch this precious, beautiful love life masterpiece. It's a blessing to have a love, a partnership like this in these times. Truly profound and deep, to have this determination to choose, each decision made to move forward, to live on many times and to be happy and grateful at the end. After a week since I finished the story staid with me, has change some things inside me. Even if I cried at every episode I felt so much support to move forward even if life is hard and to trust God and Life and to act on my dreams. I don't have my own family, yet, but hope I will meet my own Gwan Sik to grow and to create together. So beautiful. So real. So painful. So full of joy.I give it an 8 for rewatch as I think I don't want to be a witness second time. Maybe just if life puts me down, this is a good story to help me, to inspire to fight for my life, for my dreams, to be there for love. in that case it will be a 10.

should have been called The Clumsy & Injured Woman not Dynamite Kiss.
I've never seen a woman get injured so many times... a record...it should have been called The Clumsy & Injured Woman not Dynamite Kiss... is absolutely disappointing...
So many accidents, injuries... nothing profund... so many clichés, unfinished storyline... so superficial and haotic...Ridiculous, annoying, boring, disappointing, messy, rushed, and extremely cliche.
Yes, we have a Green Flag Man. The chemistry between FL & ML is fire, is Dynamite. But after the first two episode they have lost the script.
The SML did not deserve any relationship with SFL. She deserved better. She was so lovely and treating him so nice, and he did not deserved her.
I'm tired of so many rescues, emotionally immature women. It had mega potential, their chemistry could have been a mega drama, both are very good actors.. but the script was absolutely horrible.
The chemistry between the main couple carried this drama. That's why has so much success. Otherwise it was a 6.7 raiting.

affraid at the begining but love it in the end
I love watching series with Lee Jae Wook. He is very talented actor, with great skills, a great kisser in his generation, and the historical dramas are perfect for him, is totally made for historical dramas. With every glance, every word, he captures the soul of the character, translating emotion into something deeply human and unforgettable.He SLAYED in this one.
I watched till the end for him, for the music and for the cinematography. I don't regret watching it, but I will probably not rewatch as I did wit AOS, which I have seen 5 times. The theme was so creepy, cruel and dark for me, with annoying evil characters, was not my cup of tea.
The music and sound effects in this series harmoniously resonate with the storyline, the scenes themselves, the visuals, the actors' performances — everything is so incredibly well-balanced! For me this one, When Life Gives You Tangerines and Pachinko are incredibility epic as cinematography.
Jo Bo Ah was great too in her character. Sim Jae I annoyed me a lot in the first episodes, but I find her character very strong, brave, maybe too naive, balance for how much she was enduring from her supposed family.
And I hope to see Kim Jae Wook more but with normal characters, because he's already had too many roles as a psychopath, a traumatic roles for me. He is sooo talented.
Great chemistry between FL and ML, beautiful capture of their love.
Still didn't understand who was the White Man.
I hate Sim Mu Jin, is the worst, a psychopath, as the prince and the shaman. So much symbolism with what is in real life. He did not know what love is.
The OST is 1000/10.
The end it’s realistic, painful, and beautiful.

Love it.
Love everything, and also reading the book helps see and feel everything in the story. Is a masterpiece, real life story. It's not a typical kdrama, fantasy and ceo love story, is a mature side of life. All cast is acting fantastic. I feel that Hansu loved Sunja in his own way. And also her heart was all for Isak but also for Hansu, with respect for each of them. 💛Was this review helpful to you?
She needs a therapist ... hahhaha.... and also the ML... he is to good for women in his life.... i watched till the end because I love seeing Chen Zhe Yuan.
Wish to see woman more mature in Chinese dramas... it's unbelievable how stupid, childish, egotic are, or how they castrate men, I start believe that the feminine and mature wisdom, behaviour of a woman is someting absent in Cdramas.. I think the most liked FL I saw was on Prisoner of beauty, un the Double

Amazing history kdrama
I kept avoiding this series, the poster didn't really invite me. And now having nothing else to watch, I gave it a chance. I'm really happy beyond grateful. It's part of my top 5 of 2025, it's in 3 place.Great acting, good writing, funny, refreshing. I loved the story, a roller coster of emotions. I did not find it boring at all, didn't notice when was finished. Loved all the actors. I am in love with ChooYoung Woo, he is a talented actor, and he's just starting out... in the future I think he'll be in the charts, he will have a bright acting carrier. He played a duble role and really own it. I liked also the FL she did a great job, she has charisma and a wonderful chemistry with ML. I like all the characters and everybody bond so good in their roles.
Even the story was something new, and keeps you intrested, gives you humour, romance, mystery, emotions, kindness, loyalty, you will cry also. Deserves more attention. Its that kind of drama that you will for sure want to rewatch. Love it all.

Zero chemestry, worst drama that I ever whach
no chemistry between any characters. no connection between them, effectively nothing connects in this drama. everything seems unrealistic in a good way, new subject and comical sometimes, so many good actors in one show... I was so curious ... but you don't get with anything, you don't learn anything, you don't hope for anything. I kept hoping that would get better, but I've reached episode 8 and I'm terribly bored. I can't even see them kissing. everything is forced and toxic. no emotion, no connection, no feeling to convey to the public. ML and FL have nothing in common. I watched till there for LMH, that has a great acting in Pachinko and I really want to see him again in a new and diffrent kdrama. I hope for next one he will choose a good script that suits him and his talent and hope for a good chemestry with a FL. without chemistry you have nothingWas this review helpful to you?
Best couple of the year
superb chemistry, the couple of the year 2024 for me and loved the OST, I really liked it and I was glad that I saw it all at once. I love the kisses scene, finally a FL that know yo kiss and be in a lovely, mature scene.The last episode seemed to be from another kdrama. They need to rewrite it. I liked the beauty of it but Argan place... why when you had so many things to unfold and to show to have a great finale.

An absolutely joy of watch.
I liked so much this drama. The OST is on repeat. To listen the voice of Song Sohee is amazing.They offered joy, crying, romance, thriller, comedy. The acting of ML &FL is genuinely amazing and the chemistry between them perfection.
I find interesting also the body switch. They have grown from this in their connection profound love, devotion. I enjoyed a lot the ending, they didn't rush it, they gave each character space to conclude and integrate the story.
Kang Tea Oh is very good in this one.
The only thing that I did not like, is the new actress, for me, Hong Su Zu. She does not know to act. You cant buy the talent.
This year I decided not to trust the MDL rating anymore. And I am glad that I stared this one when had 7.7, now 8, and i thing is diserve an 8.5. I saw half of a Cdrama last week, that has a 9.5 rating and I would give it a 2. Toxicity, over sexualization, and superficiality are glorified and what is deep, artistic, with a story, with talent is underestimated.
so I invite you to give your time to this one. The beauty, the calming of their love.... I like it.

Super cute and adorable chemistry
Second time I watched this cute drama and and I really enjoyed. I loved ML, is the heart of the series. He is a excellent actor and has a beautiful smile. I did not get bored at all, so much happening, drama, comedy, art, thriller, crime and great messages. I enjoyed the dance between ML masculinity and FL femininity. I liked her calmness, grace had in everything. They had a great chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
Great and healty kdrama.
If you want to watch a romantic drama with depth and charm, this one is a must. Emotional support, mature behavior, a good example of a good relationship. A healthy and inspiring drama. a good example to be a father and to choose family. The power of your choice guides you on the way to connection and union.Love can heal everything.
Love is Aliveness.
One of my favorites. Simple. Beautiful. Deep. Great chemistry between leads. Will definitely watch the movie again. ♡

Lovely, diffrent kdrama.
I really loved it, one of the most beautiful, funny, emotional, pure dramas I've seen. it touched my heart . Magical soundtrack. Finally, I saw a supportive, loving family, who support each other with gentleness, attention, love, I liked them very much, without crises and yelling as we are used to. they touched on sensitive subjects, including this immense discrimination that I see in Korean society, but led to understanding, transformation. This series brought me a lot of emotion and joy. I highly recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
If you stop at 10th episode is super cute
This series is so beautiful if you stop after 10th episode. The last 2 episodes are like from a diffrent drama, did not match with anything before.... scarry, stupidity 10/10 it ruined all the beauty, connection, romance build before. Like they have hired another writer but was the warst writer on Earth.The writer completely erased their personality and maturity, their sensuality, their previous connection and turned them into puppets. It was so hard to follow until the end. Grotesque.
Disappointed 10/10
I love their chemistry, romance, love, comunication in the first 10th episodes. 10/10

the most TOXIC Cdrama, FL is EXPERT in Gaslight, deceiving lying and victim mood
the most toxic drama I've ever seen.Rich people who wear the same pair of shoes from the first to the last episode, FL & ML had the same clothing and accessories throughout the whole drama. hahahahah it's hilarious
FL with serious mental problems, victim consciousness. I'm starting to doubt myself and see the dark side of Chinese culture, dramas and that people are not at all emotional and mental intelligence.
It's mind-boggling how this drama has such a high rating and people give it such high ratings.
Yes, interesting, many kisses per square meter. Sensual but aggressive, with REPE tendencies, and that's it.
How can he like ML stay with such a woman... a healthy love will never have this value.
She's emotionally intelligent. And all those who praise her will be people in future generations... it makes me shudder at what relationships in movies have come to... so-called inspirational relationships...
the producers focused on making the success about sex, kissing, fantasies... that there was nothing else...
