Binged this entire show in one night and it was worth it! All of the casts has great chemistry with each other especially the Crown Prince and his agent. I'm hoping for a 2nd season but who knows with Netflix.
I'm only 3 eps in, and so far... it's not intolerable but it's also not great. IMO, Jisoo does well when it comes to "exaggerated" expressions (i.e: crying in Snowdrop, shocked and humorous in Newtopia).
BUT HERE, where subtle expression is needed for romcom.... it's lacking and it's apparent.
I'll continue watching this drama because I really like SIG and the cameos.
1st round was interesting, but the 2nd round? Got me shook! Idk if the producers purposely scripted the tensions between the 2 shamans just for ratings... but it's unnecessary. 🙄
so far it s very interesting and entertaining. i pause and try my luck with my intuition lol - got the lottery…
Wow, that's so cool! I got the 1st question (passed away from the mountain), 2 shamans, and the lottery guy/lighting guy correct. Maybe this show is trying to tell us something? 😂
This K-drama felt pretty bland to me. I still think Shin Hae-sun is a great actress, but there was nothing really…
Because "old" K-dramas used to be 15+ episodes. Nowadays, K-dramas are cut and edited to be around 8-10 eps only. Not to mention, major streaming corporations like Netflix, Disney, etc., co-producing these K-dramas really dulled the quality, storytelling/story writing, etc., even more to appeal to a global audience.
Why is there such mixed reviews for this drama? Lolll guess I have to watch for myself to see
I personally liked it. I do feel like they could've added 1 or 2 more eps to tie up the loose details and strengthen the plot, but it wasn't a bad watch.
It's a slow burn mystery with no romance. The storyline is mainly told through the detective's pov and other characters pov - each perspectives then gets pieced together to narrate/find out who exactly is Sarah Kim.
The plot challenges the idea of wealth, luxury brands, and how far someone can go to change their fate/destiny. Don't get too hung up on *who* the FL is, but more so, on *why* and *how* she became Sarah Kim.
I dropped after episode 4 because the writing was lazy. I can’t get over how she claimed that business had been…
At first, I didn't understand either. But in the last episode, she said she played no part in the brand's history. The brand's European history was fabricated thanks to words of mouth (her sugar baby) - one person said one thing, the next person believed it, and then it spreads.
And so, once enough people believed it, she turned it into reality. Playing into people's trust.
Ofc this is all fictional, haha. In real life, a quick Google search would have exposed it all 😂
Everyone asking for her real name is kind of proving the show’s point. We’re obsessed with ‘true identity’…
Absolutely agree! Sarah Kim is a complex character. We often associate someone's name to their education, background, status, etc., but with Sarah, none of that matters as her being alive is the only verification needed for that name. Like she said, "If you can't tell the difference between fake or real, is it even fake?".
Am I the only one that enjoyed this entire drama from start to finish? From the phenomenal acting from all of the casts to the mystery plot, I was glued to my screen. I felt like the ending made sense for a protagonist/antagonist like Sarah Kim.
Even if their fates were switched, Si Yeol would still rise to fame because of his skills, knowledge, etc. Woo Seok hasn’t played in a long time since his accident... can his skills really measure up to National play? His lack of skill will soon show. 🤔

I say, it's worth a try.
