Is There A Single Character Who DOESN'T Have A Secret Identity?
I'm pretty sure they translated the title wrong. It should be: Is There A Single Character Who DOESN'T Have A Secret Identity?This started out strong but fizzled out by the end. There was just too much going on to hold my interest without burning out. Seriously, but the last few episodes, when something happened to a character, I actually needed the overly emotional flashbacks to remind me why I should care.
But, I've gotta say, this is the first ever killer marching band army I've ever seen. So at least it had that going for it!

Fluffy and cute
Fluffy and cute. Not overly dramatic. Just what I needed. For once, they made the time travel make sense instead of something random causing it but never explained. Great cast. I want to try the food!Was this review helpful to you?
Hooked.
Kept me hooked until the ending (which I hated). Really interesting sci-fi space drama reminiscent of Apollo 13 but more romance and exploring ethical questions. I'm not a Lee Min Ho fan, but he was good in this one. I have yet to see anything that Gong Hyo Jin has done that was not spectacular. She always impresses.Was this review helpful to you?
So good!
It a relaxed paced, sweet romance drama that has a vibe a lot like the 2018 K-drama "Encounter." It's everything a drama should be. With the slower pacing, it doesn't feel like a short (which often send you on a whirlwind of plot ridiculousness trying to be exciting.) This drama is unapologetically mellow, and all the better for it. It leaves you feeling warm and satisfied.Was this review helpful to you?
Great drama!
Great drama! Perfect cast, beautiful music, costumes, and scenery. Extremely complex characters and relationships. After a looooong roller-coaster ride of drama, we get a very satisfying ending. I love that the main character isn't another rags to riches story, and instead and a deep and and long character arc.One of the best serious historical dramas I've seen.

Not My Favorite Genre, But WOW!
I was having trouble sleeping while being sick, and watching this did NOT help!I don't usually like dark thriller or crime dramas, but this is one I couldn't stop watching. It was a little more drawn out than it needed to be, but it still kept me up at night wondering what would happen next. I loved how the evil characters were not one dimensional bad guys and there was more to the events than meets the eye. While this isn't my usual happy ever after fantasy or romcom, and I doubt I'll ever rewatch it, I can't deny that it was extremely well written (despite a few plot holes) and one of the best dramas I've seen in a while. I'm surprised it's not recommended often or more highly rated. The ending was sad but satisfying, and the acting (especially Shin Sung Rok. How he can he go back and forth from the extreme of bone chilling evil villian that I can barely stand to look at to so innocentand cute I'm trying not to smile, I'll never know!) was amazing. 10/10 binged it in 2 days.

Flirty and Ditches Annoying Tropes
So much to love about this one! A strong FL who not only has a good character arc but is also vulnerable, actually uses communication for problems, and usually acts like a mature adult. There were times I would call my daughter in to rewatch a scene because it was so satisfying to see some much hated tropes tossed on their heads.It is ssssuuuuuuper flirty! 😍 And the ML is someone you'll probably be seeing in your dreams after. Even though it is pretty steamy for a C-Drama, it's still around PG content.
I love how this drama addressed some awful relationship issues in a realistic and healthy ways and how differently the leads react to the manipulation tactics.
And the music! I'm now on the hunt for the soundtrack.

Almost perfect!
I loved seeing a female protagonist as a fighter and military strategist. The first half or so is super flirty and fun with great romance and cool fight scenes (the chemistry between the 2 leads!) The second half wasn't well balanced like the first (it does get very intense and serious), and there were some parts that were really frustrating.Overall, it's still really good (despite one or two parts making me sob). The ending is very sweet, and I love how the story came together.

Super Cute!
This is definitely a rewatchable feel-good drama. It's cute, sweet, has some drama but not depressing or over the top. Absolutely adorable! It's one of my go tos when I need a pick me up.Was this review helpful to you?
