I usually never comment this early, i just share my review when i finish a drama, but i felt i needed to write something. I adore First and Khao but i admit i was scared i wouldn't like this project because i'm picky with rom-coms and i thought this was going to be different, however this first episode was gorgeous. The quality seems nice, the cinematography is great, and the ost are beautiful. It was such an adorable, interesting (and sad) first episode and First and Khao never disappoint. I hope the quality will remain consistent and i can't wait to see more and get attached to the characters 🥺
People are finally becoming more discerning, hallelujah.
I didn't mean that people can't give negative comments or being discerning, i was just pointing out that, in my opinion, we need to be fair... The same criticisms should be made on shows of the same level, but sometimes it doesn't happen
Mark pakin is such a good actor, he always nailed his previous characters so i was excited for his first main role. The serie it's not a masterpiece but it wasn't even that bad. We can all agree they really deserved more but it was still comforting watching it week after week, it was simple but refreshing and funny... They should've handled better the episodes, some were slow and some too fast (they could've skipped some things like the love triangle for example) but in my opinion they addressed important topics with delicacy. It has too much product placement? Totally, but the acting is good, the ost are beautiful and the colors were nice (and it even has good audio quality, which is not granted lately 😅). If you want to watch something light hearted and sweet that will put a smile on your face after a long day i think you should really give it a chance.
(Honestly i'm surprised by the comments cause there have been other rom coms at the same level that people absolutely loved and didn't receive the same criticism.)
Unpopular opinion but this was a disappointment. The first episodes were light and funny but they should've start adding the political plot sooner and not throw it in the last five episodes, rushing everything. Because of this the first half of the drama turned out draggy and boring with some cute and fun parts here and there, while the second half was predictable and rushed... no balance for me. The themes they wanted to cover were obviously good but they didn’t make the drama interesting or engaging enough. The FL was smart and likeable at first but at some point everyone was doing stupid things trying to stop injustices without thinking for a second of consequences, really annoying. The ML was a nice, cute, pure and useless main character for like 18 episodes, before changing all of a sudden at the very end. If you want to watch this for romance i wouldn't recommend it either, they were really cute but they've had very few scenes together... The acting for me wasn't anything special either sadly, i actually started it because i like the main leads. If you have patience you can finish it but for this plot 20 episodes of 1h were really too long, it was so slow for me, in the end i wasn't even rooting for the good people, i just wanted the drama to end. Evil characters are my favorite usually but not in this... Nice ost, costumes and i liked Min's character but that's it, i couldn't feel attached to anyone in the end. But this is obviously just my opinion, Eunwoo was really pretty and wore gorgeous clothes, if you have patience, don't have high expectations and want to watch a slow, not too exciting historical drama you can give it a try.
i have watched 9 episodes so far and i pretty much agree with everything you are saying, besides it being messy…
From what i remember it was nothing special at all, a waste of time... Nice to hear we have the same opinion cause i still can't understand how people can tell it's one of the best thriller/mystery drama 😅 i guess we have different taste. Hope you will be able to finish it...
I had really high expectations but after watching it i'm really surprised with the reviews. This drama was a mess, maybe i'm picky but i really can't see the masterpiece everyone was talking about. The first 2 episodes were exciting but that's it. I hated Jaehwan for most of the drama, he was annoying and doing stupid things most of the time, such an inconsistent character. Eugene was one of the main characters but didn't feel like it at all, they wasted her character and it's like they didn't finished her story. Same for the doctor, he was one of the best at first but then it was like they forgot him. I couldn't feel attached to anyone in the end. Didn't see the bromance at all or the chemistry between them unfortunately. It almost didn't feel like a thriller at all, not enough suspense or more exactly the suspense was ruined by endless speeches and scenes, a lot of weird unnecessary flirting, everything was so boring and slow, pretty predictable expect for some twists, at some point actually it seems they put them randomly. And especially it was so confusing, not in a good way that keeps you attached to the screen, it felt like the writers wanted to show many different paths but they failed and they didn't even know how to continue. Also it dragged forever, should've last 10 episodes and not more in my opinion. The cast did a decent job but nothing exciting even if i love the actors in other dramas. Even the music wasn't nothing special but the special effects were good. The idea was so good, the whole thing of a serial killer killing this way was so original and interesting but the drama wasn't a masterpiece at all, overall it was just frustrating. I wouldn't recommend it and i would say to not waste your time but obviously this is just my opinion, if you particularly enjoy slow paced dramas, have patience and you don't want particularly interesting and well developed characters maybe you can try it.
I always avoided this drama, i don't even know why, but it turned out it was pretty good and addicting. Yes the ML yells a lot but he was right most of the time, he was funny, sweet and clever. His character is unusual but this made the drama a lot more interesting and original for me, a breath of fresh air. Didn't like the Fl in the first episodes, i thought it was weird that she never got 'angry' but i realized it was really realistic and not all people react the same way, she's strong in her own way and i fell in love with her 'chill vibes'. Loved Wontak as well, the colleagues had their fun moments but they weren't that memorable for me. Usually villains are my favorites but not in this drama. The cast did a pretty good job and the ost was nice as well. It was too melodramatic sometimes for my taste but overall it was funny, romantic but not too cheesy, a bit predictable but cute and enjoyable .
I wasn't expecting much but i devoured it. It was so nice, chill and realistic but never boring with a lot of life lessons. l particularly loved the fl's character. It's not a masterpiece, not that original and the ending was a bit rushed but If you want something light with good chemistry between the main leads, a nice side couple, a lot of interesting and enjoyable characters (+ cute dog) go for it, you won't regret watching it
I was so excited for this drama, i really tried to like it but i had to drop it at ep.8... the cast actually did a good job, the problem is the genres tags are wrong and even the synopsis and the opening credits looks like a completely different things from the drama; i was expecting an intriguing, intense mystery and thriller but it wasn't like this. I found myself not invested in the business, family dynamics or romance at all sadly (people say the main leads has chemistry but not for me) no focus on the mystery at all. It is slow, boring and it has no suspense at all. It feels more like a melodrama to me, so if you like this genre and cheesy romance and you aren't searching for something super dark or thrilling you can enjoy it.
I love fantasy dramas so i was excited for this, but maybe i was expecting too much, it wasn't that bad but not remarkable for me. The cast did amazing, they are all such good actors, and i loved the characters of Choi Gum, the three ghosts (plus the evil spirit portrayed by Ahn chang Hwan, he really made everything more interesting and better for me), and i particularly appreciated the character development of Yeji. For the first ten episodes it's funny and catchy but the episodes were really too long for me and after ep. 11 it starts getting draggy and repetitive, the ending was sweet though (but it definitely isn't a drama to binge watch in my opinion). The cinematography and the music are good, if you like fantasy, if you don't want an unforgettable drama, if you have patience and don't mind a bit of a cheesy couples you can definitely enjoy it
I was not expecting much but i was actually cool. Yes it was pretty predictable and not perfect but at the same time if wasn't boring or annoying. Kwang soo is an amazing actor and i loved him in here, he's nice, clumsy but honest and brave. Every second character was interesting and suspicious for one reason or another, I loved the way we found hints and new clues little by little. Didn't particularly appreciate the girlfriend at the start but i completely changed my mind in the second half of the drama. The music was so good and the number of episodes was perfect, it has the right amount of comedy and dark moments, and in the end i got attached to all the characters. It was really enjoyable and i'll honestly miss it for a bit
I really liked it, it was magic, fascinating and unique. It wasn't slow at all for me and it was never boring, the cinematography was gorgeous, the songs were all so good (wish they had more then just 1 song towards the end but). The characters were all so interesting and well portrayed, the cast was amazing. I'm not particularly a fan i just saw 2 of his dramas a long time ago but Ji Changwook was perfect for his role, i loved every single moment with him. The story was deep and i really like the message behind it, I just think the end was feeling incomplete but beside from this it was enjoyable and worth it, if you want something short but intense with good acting, beautiful visuals and lovely songs then totally recommend it
Just finished this and wow it was so smart, complicated but well written. It was never boring for me, so funny and light at the start but it get super intricate, engaging and exciting towards the end (especially the last 9 episodes were really great) I enjoyed all the schemes, plot twists and emotional scenes. The male lead was clever, sarcastic and funny, i loved his relationship with family and friends during his journey. The only thing that i probably didn't like was the Female lead. (Loved the actress, i'm just talking about her character obv) She was cute and pretty but so boring. Even after her health getting better she was just sitting in her room waiting for Fan Xian and doing basically nothing and it was annoying at some point. So i didn't like the love story but hopefully we'll see other facets of her character in the future. Apart from the Fl i appreciated every single characters, they were all so interesting and unique, my favorite ones were 2nd Prince, Duo duo, Si Zhe and Ruo ruo. Can't wait to see them more in the next season. The cast did such a good job, they were all so good. The cinematography, the costumes, the plot were amazing and the ost was perfect (I loved both the opening and ending theme,I've never skipped one). The first 5 episodes maybe were a little slow but past those the story becomes very engaging. It took me some time to finish it but it didn't feel like 46 episodes, it was a really good journey, it was worth it
Just finished it and wow this was even better than my expectations, i loved everything about it. Every single story was interesting, there wasn't a moment to be bored. It was intense and deep, it had slightly comic moments, i yelled in rage and i cried my eyes out. The cast was amazing and same for the ost. It was an emotional ride, be careful it might be too much for someone, but it's really worth it can't wait for season 2

I particularly loved the grandfather (not in the last episodes but), both couples were sweet and especially Sejeong was refreshing as always, even YoungSeo's cousin was so funny.
The Cgi were cute, the music was nice, if you don't mind cliché and if you want something simple, cheesy and light maybe to watch between a drama and the other then you will like it
I enjoyed all the schemes, plot twists and emotional scenes.
