Honestly first episode was great, I have been struggling lately to get interested in watching dramas as well as anime without dying of boredom, but this drama managed to make me sit and watch it with full focus at start, I liked that it wasn't focused on the typical overused romance crap and was revolved around a woman instead of a man who had to deal with poverty...etc Everything seemed great and the actress did a flawless acting, but the more I watched the more I started to lose interest and feel that something is off with the plot.
1. The fact that Sarah is supposed to be so highly intelligent that she manages to fool everyone and do all this business on her own...they tried so hard to make her come off as genius but she didn't feel like that at all. No matter what, she still needed lots of help and backup to become that massive, yet she con eveyone and they just sit and watch?!
These high profile people, especially that old annoying woman could easily get rid of her and she would disappear from the face of earth, especially when she doesn't has an actual identity to begin with. People get killed, even well known celebrities for less than this by powerful rich assholes, but Sarah is just walking around happily and they all either watch or even when they try to harm her, she still manages to escape easily...
2. The corpse in the lake, how come the police didn't give two fucks about that poor man? Who the hell is he? They just care about the woman's corpse amd catching Sarah, but fuck everyone else?! Did the skeleton exist just so the police go to that male host?! The detective guy was so obsessed with her that he disregarded everything else and ended up coming as a total fool in the end, although they made him seem smart and experienced at start.
Also the fact that the male host seemed like a coward, but was still willing to kill someone and a wealthy man with connections on top of it for a woman he barley knew shit about was just...is she really that charming that he was willing to ruin his whole life for her?!
3. The tissue thing, like they really couldn't just check her body and if she lacks a kidney then obviously she is Sarah. Then the tissue dissappears magically (I assume by help of the old man), and she is saved again.
4. The damn ugly purple bag, did she really need to throw it along with the corpse? Also couldn't she take off the dress the faker was wearing as well as get rid of the corpse's skin that has the similar tattoo on it? If she did these things the police wouldn't have reached her or knew about Sarah's existence to begin with. The corpse would be labeled as a total nobody and that's it and it would end up as a cold case.
Couldn't she get rid of the corpse in a better way? Since she is such a genius that nobody can do shit to her how did she end making all these retarded mistakes that lead the police to her?! I know all this was for the sake of the plot of the drama, since if she didn't get caught the drama wouldn't exist, but the plotholes are so stupid for my liking.
5. The wack ending of her actually letting them jail her, taking that dumb fake Sarah identity to save the brand, the fact that we still don't know who the hell she is and how she lived her whole life without having any info about her in the government systems. The writer really tried hard to make her like the villain character Johan from Monster anime. Extremely smart, mysterious, and untouchable, but she didn't give that vibe at all.
If her goal was to build a luxury brand and be rich, then she could easily do that with the help of her fake old husband, he actually loved her and would let her do what she want, she could build a proper real business with him instead of her just gaining enemies left and right. It just felt as if she just wanted to revenge on eveyone and everything, including people who actually cared for her, be it the old man, that lonely beauty brand CEO woman, or the host guy and so she just came off like a total spiteful brat which goes against that tragic elegant aura the writer tried hard to give her. I didn't sympathy with her at all, and I did get the overall message behind the drama but it was still done poorly.
Still it was a decent watch I guess, but isn't worthy of more than 7/10 max if the watcher is feeling generous.
I loved this drama but four things annoyed me a lot: 1. The fact that the FL's didn't expose her friend's cheating wife and how she got pregnant from the FL's husband not him. His cheating disgusting wife did such an awful thing yet got away with it easily and her husband will spend the rest of his life being fooled and raise another man child wothout his knowledge. I'm sorry but there is no way in hell I would let a friend go through that and keep silent if I were in FL's shoes.
2. The drama overly focused on FL even though all four women are supposed to be main characters. To make it worse she was the least interesting one among the four and lowkey annoying half of the time. Also her story was overly dramatic, a deadbeat cheating husband, her being mistreated by town people, her mother being a bitch to her for some time, her almost getting raped...etc It was a bit too much drama to get us to sympathy with her.
3. The whole cold case of kidnapped kids...did they really need to add that? They wasted lots of screen time on it and I couldn't give two fucks about it honestly. The ML could reunite with his mother without all that thriller crap. Also the romance between him and the FL felt a bit forced at times, I mean even after 4 years of dating they act like close co-workers or friends instead of lovers.
4. Second half wasn't as good as first half and ending wasn't done well, they rushed it.
Apart from that this drama is worthy of no less than a 8/10 rating still.
honestly I think 15 years on that damn island is too much. they could make it like 5. but 15 I sabin exaggerated
Exactly! And the FL looks all clean, has perfect skin and hair, she is doing pretty well mentaly...etc after 15 whole years in the middle of nowhere, it was just absurd! If went through what she did I would need at least 3 years of therapy and heavy skin care to finally start acting and looking like a normal human being 😂😂
Seriously I hate this type of plot in which everyone are obsessed with same person who isn't even worth it! Just like in harem and reverse harem animes in which the protaginst is extermely unlikable while almost everyone who chases them is highly likeable yet they fall for trash protaginst for an unknown reason.
Why is Doha so liked? Why is he same age as me yet act like a preteen?! Okay I can get over him being a virgin, I'm also a virgin myself, but that doesn't excuse his stupidity and how unreliable he can be.
I don't like these toddler like adult MCs and don't understand why Asians are so into them. Give me major pedo vibes. Any adult who act that childish needs a serious therapy and lecture.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that. He just feels empty, like he isn't a bad actor, but it doesn't seem…
Yeah, okay. I didn't watch one week friend, but I did watch your lie in April. Was decent I guess, but not mind blowing. I'm not hating on him, I just don't consider him as one of my favorite actors when it comes to romance plots.
Every person excels at something, and also can have weaknesses, doesn't make him a bad actor necessarily. I know in some of his roles he plays roles of toxic and awful boyfriends, but that's not why I dislike his acting in these roles.
Even bad /evil characters can be liked (Even more than ML, like the Joker for example) but because the actors make them that charismatic. He lacks chemistry with FLs that's my issue, it's supposed to be romantic but it feels hollow. Same goes for Song Kang, he is great at Melodramas and thrillers, but isn't good at romance due to severe lack of chemistry and ability to properly convey his love for FLs.
I still love both of them, and they are both very handsome and got good personalities irl.
I wouldn't go as far as stain, but it's her worst drama I guess. She did well playing the role, it's just that the plot was so painfully weak and cringe. Song Kang also isn't that great at romance roles, he does great in Melodramas and thrillers, but when it comes to romance I never feel real chemistry between him and the FLs. Him and You Jung looked great together visually, but they had zero chemistry...
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that. He just feels empty, like he isn't a bad actor, but it doesn't seem…
Sure, that's your opinion and nothing is wrong with it, but for me personally I would rather not watch his romance roles anymore. I would always check out his dramas of other genres though.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that. He just feels empty, like he isn't a bad actor, but it doesn't seem…
Arisu and L Lawliet are the only roles I like of him actually, he does well im thriller/crime plots,but when it comes to plots that are heavily focused on romance, he isn't that great at.
The first couple of eps weren’t bad, but after that… It took me MONTHS to even get to ep 15. Had this drama…
I kid you not if it wasn't for Song Kang and You Jung, no one would bother watch more than 3-4 episodes of this drama. Their pretty faces are the reason it has an 8+ rating with such trash plot and fatal amount of cringe. (Just to clarify, I love both Song Kang and You Jung, but the truth is that of it wasn't for their popularity, this drama rating would be less than 5).
I gave this a 5/10 because the story dragged on. The kid wad very annoying, I would have left him behind. This…
Glad to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't obsess over kids and never had a desire to become a parent. I also thought the kid in this movie was utterly annoying. His whinny voice gave me a headache and him constantly doing stupid shit instead of Listening to the mom seriously made me consider not finishing the movie. Before they revealed the whole AI Sci Fi crap I wished he would just drown and then I will finally be able to enjoy the movie in peace 😂
I had to watch half the movie in 3x - 5x speed due to how draggy and repeatitve it got. I understand the plot and what they are trying to convey, but to me the movie was just painfully boring. I also got tired of this AI craze...
They sure tried hard to get the watchers all emotional relying on the mother-child bond that has been used hundreds times before, the child of course must be annoying and does lots of mistakes then the mother has to keep riaking her self to save him every time...
Okay, so the only reason I decided to watch this drama was because Sunoo from Enhypen said that it's his current favorite drama, and so my ass couldn't help but check it out 😂
Honestly the drama is enjoyable enough, it's not overly long and draggy, the leads nailed their roles and had good chemistry. The plot was a bit unique for a Kdrama, I think this is the first Kdrama to heavily include middle eastern culture and arabic language. Some of the side characters like the grandma, Dr. Choi, Sade, and Irem were quite likeable.
But I still don't get why Sunoo picked it as his favorite drama...it's good, but not great. Anyway it's his opinion and I got no right to judge of course.
First off: The plot was unique for a Kdrama, but still not very well written. The last episode was a bit wack and childish for me. Most of the characters except the leads and the four side characters I mentioned before were annoying as hell.
Also Satan is supposed to be an angel before leaving heaven, and a very beautiful, strong, and special angel on top of that so why did the ML keep saying that the angels were born on a Wednesday while him and his brothers were born in a Thursday?! He should be born in a Wednesday just like Ejllael or whatever his name was.
How did FL turn into a genie? Was it thanks to the grandma Sacrificing going to heaven? If so then the God and angels in their universe are lame as hell to allow a human to bend their holly rules like that 😂 they were trying so hard to make a happy ending h that they ruined the plot completely.
Second: Why is the FL always so violent. I could ignore her violence in first episodes because I mean, the ML appeared out of nowhere and started stalking her everywhere, forcing himself into her life so I understood her trying to murder him because of it. No one appreciates creepy stalkers.
But she kept assaulting him even after supposedly falling for him which really annoyed me. Using her "psychopath" card as an excuse doesn't work because she doesn't assault other characters whom she care about too like her friend and grandma so why beat up the ML brutaly every freaking episode?! What with this new trend of romance dramas/anime in which the FL abuses the ML like crazy while the ML handles it like a doormat!
Older shows had the ML be toxic and abusive and now it's the opposite?!
I have just finished this and although I absolutely loved it - I must have missed something becuase I have no…
The plant is basically the soul of father. That genie's garden had many flowers, each one represents a soul of a human and when a human dies their flower also dies and vice versa.
Everything seemed great and the actress did a flawless acting, but the more I watched the more I started to lose interest and feel that something is off with the plot.
1. The fact that Sarah is supposed to be so highly intelligent that she manages to fool everyone and do all this business on her own...they tried so hard to make her come off as genius but she didn't feel like that at all.

These high profile people, especially that old annoying woman could easily get rid of her and she would disappear from the face of earth, especially when she doesn't has an actual identity to begin with.
People get killed, even well known celebrities for less than this by powerful rich assholes, but Sarah is just walking around happily and they all either watch or even when they try to harm her, she still manages to escape easily...
2. The corpse in the lake, how come the police didn't give two fucks about that poor man? Who the hell is he? They just care about the woman's corpse amd catching Sarah, but fuck everyone else?! Did the skeleton exist just so the police go to that male host?! The detective guy was so obsessed with her that he disregarded everything else and ended up coming as a total fool in the end, although they made him seem smart and experienced at start.
Also the fact that the male host seemed like a coward, but was still willing to kill someone and a wealthy man with connections on top of it for a woman he barley knew shit about was just...is she really that charming that he was willing to ruin his whole life for her?!
3. The tissue thing, like they really couldn't just check her body and if she lacks a kidney then obviously she is Sarah. Then the tissue dissappears magically (I assume by help of the old man), and she is saved again.
