It had a totally different vibe than the prior episode as well as the next episode... it was out of place. I didn't find it funny, I found it [almost] annoying. Perhaps it's just my particular sense of humour. I didn't find Mr. Queen engaging either although the majority found it hilarious. Just my thoughts.

This was fine... nothing outlandish or thought provoking. Nakamura Anne was, yet again, great although I really didn't feel any chemistry between the two leads. That hindered my enjoyment a bit, I think I would have been more vested if I saw a spark. Fun overall though.

This started off slow with some rather shaky writing and acting. However, around episode 4 this started to become a very solid offering. Nam Ji-hyun was great throughout and her crying got better as time went on. The last episode was odd: half was solid killer and half was filler in sequential order. Luckily they pulled it all back together for a satisfying end. A decent and fun watch, well worth your time.

Oddly, it seems like I'm in the minority on this but I'm all in on this one. You need a starting point... both leads are damaged but I trust this will be a journey of positive growth for them. I'd be disappointed [and bored] if they got together immediately, where's the fun in that? Sure, the misunderstandings can get a little bothersome but hopefully we've now be exposed to the majority of those situations. Looking forward to next week, bring it on!

Half way through. I was going to drop this after the second episode but kept on just incase. Glad I did as this has turned out to be some much need light entertainment. Sure, twists here and there but nothing too extreme. Really enjoying the camaraderie between the 4 bottom-tier, it's comforting. Would really appreciate it if the writer / director could give a little more substance to Seol Mae Hwa as I'd like to see Kim Min Jung do more than just stare... she's awesome but this role is too limiting. I said the same thing about her character in Mr. Sunshine. Okay, onwards to the back 8!

Great drama... well written, acted and directed. Kim Hye Soo once again proves she's a top grade actor.10 episodes was enough to build up to the climax and have an effective ending. Solid but know full well the subject matter before you watch.

Solid entertainment. Just finished the second episode and am now in a week long wait of anticipation. Out of the three "on air" kdramas I'm watching at the moment, this one is my favourite. All good so far... well, except for the fat suit [but I'll give that a pass].

Well, that was a dark but interesting way to end the viewing year! Found the story + direction intriguing and the actors did a great job. It takes a while for the real picture to come into frame so if you're confused, just stick with it until the end. Awesome seeing Hui Si and Yeong Tak at the very end... bring on the next season of Moving to see how this plays out.

It turned around for me at about the eighth episode, not that is was stellar but I found the ML/FL lead less childish [perhaps inexperienced?] in the last episodes. I enjoyed it overall but was really hoping for better with those two as the leads.

Nice setup for the second part of the season [or season 3]. Stellar cast, great acting and writing, interesting new games and a few twists here and there. Enjoyed the series and hope that a few of the new characters will have some backstory displayed.

Pepero Day for the win!!!

It's funny how one episode can really taint a good show [I'm looking at you episode 9]. Enjoyed the cast, writing and direction up until that point but it fell apart so bad... sooooooooooo bad. Either that episode was written by someone else or the original writer just phoned it in. Picked up a little after that but it really didn't get back on track. Unfortunate.

The last two episodes turned this around for me. Sure, the acting + direction combo isn't the greatest but I'll let that slide as "artistic choice". Onwards to the last 4!

I haven't watched the cdrama so this was new to me. Overall, I really enjoyed the story, acting and direction. I liked the pace of the show as well, although the gap years were pretty much glossed over and the ending was rushed. However, a good use of my time as I left satisfied and happy.

A lite, fun and entertaining watch... which is what I signed up for. Sure, there were a lot of brewing references but that was expected based on the title. Can't believe some people are complaining about that. Anyway, I smiled every time Sejeong laughed and that just left me in a happy mood.

I just finished episode 6 and while I have really enjoyed the main leads in other dramas, I can't say that they're winning me over this time. Sure, I get that the actors are just bringing a script to life so some of this is on the writing staff but there seems to be over acting / over reaction in abundance here. I truly understand the comments below about being childish, it would seem that the past versions of themselves are more mature than the adult versions. Not dropping it but can't say that I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episodes.

I was expecting good but I wasn't expecting this good. Excellent story, fantastic acting and great direction. Really enjoyed the leads, both families and the It's Okay to Not Be Okay kids. I'm a fan of time travel and this was done right given the structure. I think I'll go grab a Kopiko.

A well thought out and executed drama. Hard to describe it... a teacher/student drama? a multigenerational buddy drama? a follow your heart drama? I guess all of the those would work. One thing I really liked about this drama was the focus on the main story line. Yes, there were other stories in play but they didn't detract from the main line. Was it perfect? No... but it was a very heartfelt, good watch.

The bullying was hard to watch but the revenge / justice is sweet. This movie had a ton of peaks and valleys for me, alternating between bullying and street justice. Acting was good, as were the direction and choreography. Fun relationship between Si Min and Jae Gyeong added to the overall watchability of this movie. That's a duo made in heaven.

A very compelling drama with a great storyline, fantastic acting and direction. Not much filler that didn't add to the mood and not all questions are answered at the end... you know, like life.
