As I've mentioned here before, My Mister is the only kdrama that I've rated a 10 [200+ dramas] and it lives rent free in my head. I just finished Loving Strangers which is the cdrama adaptation and, while not as good [imo], it provided a different take on the original. I'd recommend watching it if you're pining for My Mister.
Watch this... it's well worth your time. I'll admit that I'm biased as My Mister is my favourite kdrama and the only kdrama I've rated at 10. Honesty, My Mister [for me] is on par with Chernobyl and Breaking Bad [although totally different of course]. I enjoyed the acting and the nuances of this series, even the OST was decent. I really enjoyed the Yi Jun character as I noticed differences in this adaptation that kind of rounded out the wife in My Mister for me. Would I rate this a 10? No. It was missing the spark of My Mister and the OST [while good] didn't enhance the story. It's a strong 8.5-9.0 though, a very decent watch.
This season started off strong but ended on a less interesting note [last two missions]. Acting was excellent and guest stars made the series even more fun! Overall, I'd say it was on par with season 2 but not as good as season 1. I really miss Esom and her character.
Very watchable series... nothing too harsh or too cute, a nice balance. Also, this seemed to be a fun role for Jin Kyung, it's great to see her portray this type of character. Overall, a light and comforting watch without a lot of drama.
Rewatching this again... there's just something about this story that appeals to me. The acting and directing are great. OST is great in isolation but the issue is that it's on full repeat [and I mean full repeat].
It was "lite" to say the least. I did find that the leads had very little chemistry and I found the SML rather annoying... but perhaps he was supposed to be. Quick and fun watch but nothing memorable.
Rewatched this for a fourth time, this time really focusing on the journey of Min-yeong. I'm not saying I agree with what she did or how she did it but I did find her path to closure interesting. This is a solid watch for me, it's comfortable + warm and I very much enjoy the sibling dynamics. Wish I could have seen more of the time after the ending but perhaps it's best to just imagine as we see fit.
This was much better than I thought it was going to be... enjoyed it quite a bit. Cast is excellent, story was fun, cinematography and direction were good, artistic elements were fun/interesting. Usual episode 14-15 shenanigans but that was expected due to the situations leading up to them. OST was enjoyable too. Personal growth due to positive relationships is always satisfying to see.
Learn from my experience: I had this on my watching queue for a couple of years but it came to Netflix in my region so I had a go at it. By the third episode I moved over to Viki as it provided me with better translations. The Netflix translations [via subtitles] were just, well, off.
Solid! Really enjoyed this, kept my interest throughout and I haven't binged this much in a while. Acting was excellent but I do have a soft spot for JDY, I thought she was excellent as usual. Good role for KGE, she can really pull off the blank stare [that's a compliment, not a diss] . Direction was excellent, story was compelling, OST didn't get in the way, cinematography was fine. Was I let down by the last episode? Yeah, a little but it was still decent. Worthy of a rewatch in a couple of years.
Entertaining watch that was a little different... which was a good thing. Enjoyed the premise, acting, direction and cinematography. Solid 6-7 episodes to start, still good episodes until the last one which was kind of messy. Loved the location shoots, it's always fun to see kdramas in areas that I've been. Impressed by both the FL and ML but wish there was more development of the Ji-seon character. I'll add this to my rewatch queue and revisit it in a year or so.
Finished rewatching it [again]... it was good on the first view but the found subsequent views even better. Don't quite know how to describe it but this just makes me happy. Story was good as was the acting / directing. It's a comfortable watch.
Good series so far but I'm only on episode 5. As a westerner, it's fun to see locations that are familiar to me as it's relatable. As a kid, I lived in Calgary for a while and remember walking those same streets in Banff on weekend trips. It's as beautiful as you see it.
Killer cast but story needed work. I have no issues with flashbacks so that's not the problem. The problem [for me] lies in the writing... it was an interesting premise that just didn't gel. I finished this mainly to watch the leads as well as satiate my morbid curiosity. Ending was as expected but I'm not convinced it was right [at least for this couple].
Just finished this and I understand the negative comments... but the positives kept me watching. I enjoyed the actors and most of the writing [although some episodes were mediocre at best] but this is certainly not a rewatch for me.
Overall not a bad series but nothing special. ML/FL were fine, troupes galore with a few annoying characters thrown in to the mix. Not the worst I've seen this year but was hoping for more to be honest. Another drama that didn't do justice to Baek Jiwon's talents as well... when will she get a decent character to portray?
I'd give this a solid 8. It was fine, nothing special... I found myself nodding off from episodes 6 to 12 but the last few episodes brought the interest back. I'm a fan of slow burn if it's interesting, not so much if it's not. Not a rewatch for me but not disappointed that I watched it.
