This was fine. Acting was fine, directing was fine, story was fine... it was fine. It's not a memorable drama and certainly not a rewatch for me. At the finish I thought "Okay, entertaining but not great". However, Kim Seol Hyun did a fantastic job bringing Yeo-reum to life.

This went from great to good in the last few episodes. Overall it was a compelling watch with an interesting storyline and stellar acting. Can't say enough about the lead characters although I wish there was more main couple together time. Entertaining and didn't hit the fast forward once.

It's a fun, light watch. Not all the jokes / situations landed well but there were some very funny moments scattered within the series. Acting was great but the writers tried a little too hard in some cases. Worth the watch though.

This one is a little weird in the sense that it was both awesomely horrible and wonderfully fantastic. There were times when it was a trainwreck that I couldn't turn away from and times when you really just appreciate the positivity of Jan Di. Everyone should have a friend like Ji Hoo, a true soulmate to the end and a friend among friends. Some parts of this have not aged well but I can't believe some parts were okay back in 2009 either. However, stick with this drama even if you want to bail after the first few episodes.

Overall a good and entertaining watch. Would have enjoyed the demons remaining more demonic [ie less humanized] but I guess that's part of the story. The main character seemed to have been perfectly written for Park Shin Hye and she nailed it. I haven't been overly impressed with her acting chops in the past but this puts my concerns to rest. I think a season 2 would be interesting.

I enjoyed the movie, it's in my wheelhouse. Acting, special effects, direction and cinematography were all fine. Was sad to see [at the end of the movie] that Kang Soo Yeon passed away after filming. she acted well in this movie.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here [at the moment] but I enjoyed this drama. I didn't sign up for a DID documentary, I signed up to be entertained and sometimes that means leaving reality at the door. The acting was good, as was the direction and cinematography. Writing started off very strong but then dipped a little but still kept me engaged. Was it the best thing I've seen this year... no. Was it worth my time... yes. Glad to see the relationship between the parking lot attendants continue and the positive possibilities for the others at the end.

yes

Solid entertainment that kept me engaged until the end. Honestly, I would have been happy with either of the two potential endings... you knew they loved each other and we could dream about how their lives progressed after this moment. Stellar writing, acting and direction. I'll revisit this on the next rainy weekend.

Strangely enough, I enjoyed this more than No Gain No Love. I would have appreciated a few more episodes but I'm very happy that this was created.

I actually found parts of this series funny, fun, and entertaining... and then there were the other parts. Don't know what happened with the writing around episode 8 but it dipped for a bit and came back at the end. Overall a decent watch, mainly due to the actors and specific situations their characters were in.

Sigh. Unfortunately, my hopes of a late summer trifecta of excellent series did not materialize. I had high hopes for this, Cinderella at 2am, and Love Next Door. All were watchable but ultimately forgettable. Oh well, let's see what's in store for the fall.

At least once in your life you should have a boss/mentor like Sang-shik, a senior co-worker like Dong-shik and a office peer/friend like Seok-yool. I enjoyed this drama and, if it is anything like the real office/work culture, I'm glad I work from home. Writing and acting in this were great [although some of the episodes dragged a little]. A entertaining watch overall.

I was hoping for greatness but got okayness. An absolutely killer cast was somewhat wasted on less than stellar writing. The first half was engaging but the second half just seemed phoned in... especially the last two episodes. Still a fun watch but I'm a little sad about the lost potential on this one.

A solid watch. Highly entertaining and, in the end, that's what really matters.

It's been a while since I've been all-in on a series from the first episode but this one is checking all the boxes. Love the story, love the actors, love the direction... can't wait for the next episode.

Interesting watch to say the least. Nothing typical about this series and I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey.

Finished this today... not horrible but not good either. The story was weak and the FL character was poorly written. Villains were excellent both in writing and acting, kudos! Moments of fun here and there but overall this was a disappointment. Wonderful actors sometimes can't save a poorly written story.

I started watching this after seeing Lee Ji Ah in My Mister... which she was excellent in but that character was much more complete [to the point of really hating her]. She's a more than capable actor but this just wasn't her best. I'll have a look at The Penthouse now to get her My Mister character out of my head.

Understood. The tragedy of his passing can't be erased but he did leave us with something special. It's only been a week since I finished this and I've honestly spent an unhealthy amount of time thinking about it. The writing for the two mains was exceptional, as was their acting.

Outside of the ML/FL storyline, I'm drawn closely to the development / realization arc of Yoon-hee. Not advocating or justifying her actions but the journey this character took was very well written and acted.

Well, it finally happened... after 130+ dramas, I've rated a series a 10. This was a brilliantly written + directed emotional drama and the acting was stellar. The music was excellent and embellished the storyline. Even the title sequence was good. Can't say enough about this well crafted, emotional rollercoaster of a journey.

Learn from my experience: if you are planning to watch this, I found the subtitles more realistic and insightful on Prime and Viki. Netflix, while I got the gist, didn't provide the same level of detail.

This was light entertainment to say the least. Don't watch it if you're expecting something new + groundbreaking, watch it if you're in need of a predictable [but comforting] story and enjoy the actors.
