it needed better writing, the point of the plot, the development and the connection between past and present, there were many things that lacked

for example, his journey in cooking geniusness was irrelevant, until he talks about how he'd never tried cooking because of his statues and gender

the evilness of 2ml was pointless, even if he falls, he'll always be their reincarnated enemy
fl was always hotheaded and talk first think later type unless it revolved the 2ml who was just such a red flag, but the writer just suddenly made her timid
like sure it's hard to believe he was really from the past, but is it easier to believe a cop saying there's no records of him to changing it to "he has a criminal past"


I wonder if the illegitimate children’s plot is real cuz like go prosecute the fathers not the kids
the best thing was the coffee joke, fl cooked so bad everyone feared her cooking


There’s almost 400 years in between so they’re not really descendants of themselves?
And in ways it’s like, they reverse loved each other so even in different times they always belonged together
I mean even scarlet heart somewhat did that
And also like, his reincarnation could also be a decent of his siblings, uncles and such, so not every grandparent only had one kid so their grandparents weren’t the same and divided in their branch of relatives
that's to assume he had 20 years and spent them with the past fl

Minseok’s acting really improved, he specifically looked extra handsome when all serious like the end of the ep

It had potential to be more, the acting of the 4 mains was great but the writing didn’t reach the depth it should’ve
Especially since only the aunt and niece had enough screen time to be called mains


As a story of multi race baby, a Filipino and Korean baby, her mom did well making sure she knew both cultures
I’ve been seeing TROS sarang in clips on TikTok and she only speaks Japanese, understandably she’s still young eventho she’s tall, just like this baby saying she’s 5 when she looked 7


Anyway, her aunt sucked and the “character growth” was too sudden that her past angst wasn’t necessary


I wish they showed jisoo experiencing his daughter’s second culture
Saying he’ll take her back for better education and life was kinda demeaning, tbh Koreans school life sucks

The aunt staying just for the niece to leave, tbh she should’ve left with them, lol I did weirdly ship them

when he was like I’m strong I can carry my kid, and she goes I’m small but strong, that was cute, I mean this could also be a cultural thing but some ppl marry their dead spouses sibling to keep the kid surrounded by both families




The journey of this 25ish year old sulking over what her sister did 20 years ago by “leaving”, and taking revengeish hating the niece was not needed, I’d understand her “hate/fear” of kids cuz it was a vulnerable time for her and she didn’t want responsibility

But I’d also understand neglect better than hate, the baby’s cries on “why do you hate me” was too sad for everything to be “solved” and the aunt switched just cuz her sis told the kid she’s like her aunt so the older sis never forgot her sis

The dad swooping in to take her away, as if his culture was better than his, when he could’ve even stayed in the Philippine for a year or so for stability, or even if he promised to take her there every summer break
I feel like non of the supposed problems were solved or addressed

The baby lost her dad but her mom’s trust and love kept her stable, she lost her mom, gained a family, her aunt hated her, then everything became stable again just for the dad to come back and take her, we don’t even know how his family life is

Also the whole mystery around the dad was too makjang xD

A bit silly, fun as a futuristic theme but zero explanation why only one group was so futuristic they even had a spaceship like ship


The aging is all messed up, the girl is 18, 2ml supposedly a bit older, but their real age gap is like 20 years
My mom did think he was 20ish but I was like now he’s 40s, so when he was talking about a crush or tried to flirt, that was disturbing
And Jackie with the other fl, she’s 36 now so she was like 29 real age, and she was a cop 13 years ago?

as a story it's 1d and predictable, and a bit ridiculous, he put her in an orphanage, so bad ppl won't find her, but stayed close for those 13 years? sounds stupid.. to make your child grow up alone fearing danger, but still staying close that anyone who'd follow him would see who he's looking at?
when i saw a clip on tv i thought they had a fight and he was staying close but she didn't want to acknowledge him cuz he was being overprotective xD

Not as comedic as I thought, only 1%

The first half was too ridiculous, like why trap 5 ppl in a hotel in a shaky tunnel if there were options especially with better studying and better tools

So the first half was done to have a “unexpected team building” so the second half made sense when they cared for each other

And it needed a better ending, like Hot voices villain was a psychopath, id have wanted him on a death sentence or atleast have his chaebol dad send someone to kill him off

The double cross, double cross, was ridiculous cuz, villain was offering burnt leg 100k, when if he stayed he’d have had to cut 5m between 5ppl

Poor old guy dying so coldly as well was just to add angst
villain dude was never gonna let them live , and ml with his fancy car and clothes and watches, he didn’t need another 1m to even take that job, again a 30b job put on 5ppl, one sick, one hurt, without any research or equipments, they only found out about the new pipeline cuz old guy randomly had that info, when again, if a crazy rich dude did something , he’d plan it better from the start

I don’t even have a dog and I cried, simple, feel good, cute and adorable puppies, cute bromance, sweetie ml, nice linear journey and well wrapped ending tho missed on showing more scenes


Not me thinking he should get rid of the finance instead

Like seriously, don’t date a guy with a dog if you’re allergic then make him get rid of it and threaten him that their kids will have that allergy
At first I thought he hid the fact that he had a dog, or he never mentioned it, but she lied to him ;( tho I think they dated then he had to take in his mom's dog
and the end was resolved cutely


This ml is sooo much better than my sweet monster, he was such a sweetheart, and he could sort out his feelings well, it takes a real man to cry so purely ;(

YYS, unlike his dongmae, he does get typecast as the sweetie and naive personality often, some dramas I couldn’t take him but here like hospital playlist, he was a green flag, a bit more gentle and crybaby but such a sweetie
Fl, she wasn’t bad, especially compared to dna lover character; another sad typecast, she was nice but as mom says “if she didn’t tell him he had to get rid of the dog the movie wouldn’t happen” ;p

The last two options weren’t bad either, but they became attached to the dogs and in the end it sparked all of their desires to dream again

sometimes one needs a total easygoing brainless watch

the “gender role switch” was really funny, he was a househusband, she was a total kickass cop boss
Then it got funny with the misunderstanding , and the jokes were cheesy but fun

It could’ve been better, like the fighting and choreography were too good it felt obv staged
The bad guy stuff, I mean yeah sure no one really pays attention to what the big bad is doing, lol it’s either always weapons or money laundering
it's also nice to see a normally happily married couple, she wasn't hurt and wanted revenge, she was jealous and wanted to make sure it's not true cuz she genuinely loved him and he loved her


It lacked in the overall scheme, the characters were just the needed ones, and two against a hundred is a bit overboard , but as a fast easy watch, it was refreshing to atleast have cool characters

Great acting, good premise, basic execution

Being so short, yet so repetitive and yet so underdeveloped
The cop, kwangsoo, and Mr smiles were the interesting part
the 20billion honestly felt like valid reasoning xD


The one target till the end ruined the mood, especially since his targeters were his victims
And he never died… so many attempts…
then it got political and a total snooze
The masked guy, was disappointing, he was like the son? A victim? Idk it was so out of place and rushed over

Like, when there’s a murder mystery, it’s either someone they show or someone new, so in this case it was someone new and his story especially since the whole thing revolved too much on one target, made it detached

Tho the cop getting the money made it sad cuz of what he did to his daughter, he stole from thieves and put his family in danger, he doesn’t deserve happiness
Tho he didn’t stop chasing the masked guy so he’s not fully satisfied?

It’s a bit metaphorical, nobody knows. Even with through investigation, knowing both sides stories, you can’t do anything but speculate

I did find the movie slow and everything was revealed at the end without actually spelling it all out because no matter what, you’ll never know the whole truth

In this case, both parties were severely emotional, drunk, angry, suicidal, depressed they weren’t fit for driving
The dark road, the deer, everything was set up for the “accident” and that’s what an accident is, unplanned, any small element can cause it

The what ifs are as strong as the clues left by the encounters

The daughter blamed herself, the wife feared blaming herself, the mom was left with so many burdens taking care of a sick husband

Does the “truth” change anything? How does it effect the events

Yes they were unfit for driving, yes an unexpected deer was like a domino effect, move away from deer, move away from oncoming car, too angry to focus…. The daughter running away, the truth, the pain, no matter overthinking, over feeling, things need to be let go

it took me 2 tries to finish cuz it was so long, tho the 1st half was too much talk and 2nd half too much action

for me, I was in it for BYH, I'm glad he's winning awards and praise for this, he wasn't portrayed as an evil villain demon, his character was a strategist, war is like a game and sport, there is a thrill in mind games, tho war is pure evil with ppl who don't want it are the ones fighting it and the ones who want it are safe in their castles..
so anyway, I teared up on the battle, it was balanced well in who had the upper hand and it was always heartbreaking when the tables turned. japan is wrong for attacking 1st, but did their soldiers have a say? sure even if 50% and even 90% were psychos, is death the only option for the ones forced to continue the flame of war

that being said, I do prefer historicals like this, doesn't have to be based on real events, breaking away from palace politics is nice. which just shows, in people on the same country/side also want war to gain what they want and they drag the rest with them,,

annnyyway, BYH and his adorable cheeks had more presence and charisma than almost all of the rest ;D

Beautiful acting, great production values, sure it has a thought but if one wants to go that far they can make extentions like sims and add upgrades 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

Life is built on every single feeling, there was a cartoon fairy godparents? And there was an ep of only happiness in the world, this was like that. Is happiness everything?
It's like once you get too much of something you lose value of it

I did like ahjummonim tho, gives of badass queen vibe, I raised 0.5 for her, as a villain, crazy scientist, she did great❣ ahjussi dude is good too, with eonnie I only like her sometimes. Excuse me not knowing their names🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

This wasn't professor's, rio, denver, miso and a bit of berlin's best acting performance
Tokyo tho and nairobi did have great charisma here, both I'd say is their best performance not that I've seen nairobi in anything else I remember

Anyway I'm giving this a 0.5 more than the last season. Tho I didn't like the angsty multi couples, or a bit of the message kinda reminded me of 36 task force? But the ending scene made it 100%🤣👍🏻
This was more 15 rating than 18 tho there was 1 kiss scene but idk if there's an official source for that. Tho this drama is one of those +18 with a purpose rather than just being explicit and out of the box

This is what I ment when I said kdramas should koreanize adaptation. They didn't make it, a 1d romcom (much) but they did use their own circumstances and culture to retell that story. Idk if there'll be a 2nd season but I wouldn't mind it

I do feel bad about the ones who died being brushed off so fast, especially since Berlin and seoul came back alive and that was all that mattered

It was a bit sad for the sake of it. I'm not cruel, it's just the pacing was convenient and he was a 70 ish year old dude there were more than 1 chance to take him down
jason was added for the youthful eye and to give freddie a bit of a soft grandpa vibe which it helped but again they just happened to work at Fridays
I wanted a bit more depth, especially with both their families. I wanted a bigger team to atleast make their schemes believable
Anyway sungmin ahjussi deserves a daesang or 10.. and the writer certainly hit the jackpot with this cute little duo. Since the story lacked relativity, the 2 actors pulled it off well
I don't like sad for the sake of tears, like sure I was heartbroken but they dragged it a bit and the ending felt empty I wish they made a bigger movement

A small pebble that turned into a massive avalanche.

The story was predictable and took way too long to start the revelation. I actually hate stories that could've been solved/stopped but maybe that person wanted the avalanche to happen
The ml was stupid tho, I mean they all were

His pov never made sense cuz, he's the guy🤣 making his mistress drive, telling her he wants to quit, and she says lets cover it up?

And lawyer saying she met the dad, but he never sused there's more to it? Especially after the guy said she's a reporter not a hotel reception 🤣
I also hate the "turns out to not be dead but couldn't go back"🤡
The mood got me, 5, 4, 6, 9, 3, and a 9ish🤣 atleast I'm glad it didn't turn ugly with mass murders at the end, I actually think the villains worse punishment is getting caught
