Romcom which does its job right!
Good romance: check! Comedy: double check! We have a sweet romance that develops in the most funny way. We also tackle some serious issues but it's well done. All the characters are endearing and funny too so we just get into the all universe of the drama easily and it makes the drama even more enjoyable. Loved the actors acting, I've seen them in more serious roles and I'm glad they can pull the comedy genre this well. If you're looking for a romcom that's not too serious and will make you laugh, this is the one.Was this review helpful to you?
The discovery of friendship & romance of a genius girl
An averagely good watch. Really liked Tian Xi Wei performance in this show, we get to see another side of her acting, really. She tends to play bubbly/outgoing characters but not this time. She's much more of an introvert yet we got to see her go through all type of emotion. She did a good job bringing Lin Zhi Xia to life.However, the main plot didn't move me all that much. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice story, I found it quite touching yet feels like something is missing and I can't tell what it is... :(
I like the supporting characters too, on top of the list Lin Zhi Xia big brother. I really like their bond, I enjoyed how she came from an average unproblematic household. I also enjoyed how they turned her rival who had the potential to be the villain into another friend instead. Also how the 2nd lead did not end up acting like a jerk because he didn't get the girl who never felt the same feelings as his, it was nice to have a change. I was surprised by how they handle the male lead storyline, I liked it too.
I'll say, it's a chill drama. Not a must-watch but if you're going through a drama slump and do not know what to watch, check this out. It's not fluffy but it's not too deep either, a nice midpoint between those. ^_^

A perfect Criminal Investigation x Romance drama
It was such a surprise! My first time seeing an historical of the genre and loved it! I really appreciated how it was executed, how it mainly remained a thriller and the leads stayed focused on their goals til the end. I didn't find any episode boring at all, I enjoyed how we embark on the criminal cases with the leads and get to wonder who did what, why and how. I didn't find any flaw or weird point in all the cases. Really enjoyed the thriller parts. The romance was well introduced and very sweet, we don't have any weird break up because of some misunderstanding. Loved the boldness of the female lead and how the male lead respected her right away and got her back from the start. It makes their bond and their romance even more endearing. They didn't try to change the other but wholeheartedly embraced each other's quirkiness. There are so many characters we end up getting attached to. And the end was something, lol, but very satisfying to me. A happy end. ^-^Was this review helpful to you?
There is as many languages as they are people in the world
Loved it ! Very easy to binge ! A really nice drama with a lovely romance. It feels like I watched the romance of two avoidant people who always put the others first falling for each other and their journey of not letting that trait get in the way of them finding love. It was beautifully told.Amazing acting from the leads. Kudos to Go Youn Jung for the versatility of her role. Kudos to Kim Seon Ho too, it's not evident to play someone who speaks several languages but he did very well. He really looked like a polyglot, lol. He has amazing facial expressions, we could tell so much about how he felt just by looking at his face. Nice chemistry between the leads.
I like the development of the scenario a lot, you can't tell what will happen in the next episode nor how the drama will end. There's so many things we just don't see coming, it makes the drama even more enjoyable. It was cool. the one point where it failed for me is how no one thinks about using an online translator even if it's not the most accurate things when there's no interpertror. The character just rather speak their language and not be understood by the person they're talking to even when they're saying something important. It doesn't make sense. Anyway, it's not a focal point in the drama, we can easily tell it's to create misunderstandings that will unfold later in the story and you can still enjoy the drama despite that.
They traveled a lot so we have amazing sceneries, that was cool. The dialogues aregreat, a lot of nice lines. And we have some nice character development, the characters still remain true to themselves till the end, loved that too.
I really liked this drama, I was waiting for it since I heard about it because I love the Hong sisters as writers, and I've not been disappointed. It's just missing that little je ne sais quoi for me, that thing that makes you addicted, hence why I didn't give it a 10.
