I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. Was it perfect? No. There were numerous plot holes, a weak mystery plotline and there were pacing issues. But overall I think this drama delivered exactly what it intended to do.
It made me laugh so much in the first half that I had to go back and rewatch some scenes before watching the last two episodes. Xu Lu and Ceaser Wu are great comedic actors and the chemistry between them was really good. For a comedy, I didn't expect so much romance. This drama most likely wouldn't have been so great if these two weren't the leads.
I enjoyed the second couple as well. The 2ML was a complete bimbo. But he was cute and the chemistry between him and the 2FL was adorable. I never got tired of their scenes. The ending credits with them at the end wearing the XO hoods was one of my favorites (you'll have to watch the drama to understand the symbolism behind the X & 0)
This show gets a 9/10 for me. I highly recommend anyone who likes a good laugh with a nice dose of romance to watch.
When I heard that Oda himself was going to be involved in this live adaptation I had faith that for once a live adaptation would be done well. But I will admit I was a bit skeptical about how they could possibly stuff six arcs in the span of eight episodes. But that worry was soon diffused after the first couple of episodes.
The cast was phenomenal (but that's no surprise Oda himself chose each cast member). But the actor that embodied the character the most in my opinion was the actor that played Buggy. His acting was A1 and his scenes always stole the show. Also, the actor who played Mihawk (just straight-up looked like his manga/anime counterpart.
I say this all to say, I really did like this live-action adaption and I gave it a 9. The only reason I didn't give it a ten was because of the filler content of Garp and Koby. I felt like their scenes were not only incredibly boring but completely unnecessary to the story. I would have preferred scenes of the crew bonding and acting silly on their ship but that's just me.
Thank the Lord I am on episode 16 but honestly, you could have just given me a movie at this point, and I would…
Those are my exact sentiments. I was on my phone during my break watching this drama and I didn't even realize I was giggling like a school girl when the FL started unbuttoning his shirt and feeling his chest until people started staring at me.
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is one of my favorite dramas and I've watched it numerous times, but not once when I watched Meet Yourself did I think it plagiarized Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. These shows have two different vibes. Both are categorized as slice-of-life healing dramas but both variations of that take are different.
Just from my observation, I do think it hurts the ML just a bit when he sees GSJ and his brother constantly having each other's back. He no longer has that brotherly support and he's reminded of it every time GSJ and his brother stand up for each other.

I personally think Meet Yourself does it better.
This video breaks everything much easier.
