Not your typical comedy!!
I picked this drama up on a whim while aimlessly scrolling through my TBW list - and wow, what a pleasant surprise! I genuinely didn’t expect From Now On, Showtime! to be this addictive and fresh.
The story blends comedy, fantasy, mystery, and a bit of romance so well that it never feels overdone. It's not your usual rom-com setup, and that uniqueness is what really sets it apart.
Park Hae Jin as Cha Chawoong absolutely nailed the eccentric magician vibe - his dry humour and quirky energy were perfect for the role. He managed to make the character mysterious yet lovable. And Jin Ki Joo as Go Seul Hae was a delight - strong, warm, and emotionally grounded. Their chemistry is subtle but grows on you steadily, and by the end, you really root for them.
The supporting cast, especially the ghost squad (you’ll know them when you watch!) added so much life and warmth to the series. I didn’t expect to feel so attached to them, but here we are.
Music: The OST didn’t really stand out for me, but it fit the scenes and tone well enough. Nothing memorable, but nothing jarring either.
Rewatch Value: High! It’s one of those feel-good dramas with just enough mystery and character depth to keep it from being fluffy. I’d definitely rewatch for the laughs and the characters.
My only (small) gripe was the ending feeling slightly rushed—like they needed just 30 more minutes to wrap things up cleanly—but it doesn’t hurt the overall experience much.
If you're tired of predictable dramas and want something charmingly weird with heart, this is 100% worth it!
