Let's uncover your past shall we?
A captivating thriller drama of a woman that wants to know who she is despite digging the dirtiest graves that will affect your life.Sadly, this is not as famous as the other thriller because it's truly remarkable to watch.
Everyone did a great job, and the satisfying ending was for all the people, especially Endo and his father.
Just try this one if you love thrillers. It will never disappoint.

The journey is all that matters
This drama is a truly a treat before the year ends. It has all the great things that you need in the drama. The cinematography, great characters, wonderful acting, amazing character growth, fabulous fighting scene, lovely romance, badass leads, np damsel in distress, intelligent characters. What more can you as for?I gave it a perfect 10 because this one has a really great plot. Despite of the create your own ending part, every episodes is a joyful to watch...I never get bored or fast forward because it was pure entertaining. The best part of this drama is the brotherhood. Gosh!! Our diplomatic team went to a journey in a rush, without much planning ,but because everyone is capable enough. they got through in all the obstacles. But more importantly your will LAUGH!!!
I just want to highlight my best Chief.. Ning Yuan Zhou played by Liu Yuning. My guy really improved a lot! And NYZ is the leader that was needed with full of people that was chaotic and got different personalities. He stand firm like a true boss. He was intelligent and strong. A true leader that you can count on. But when he was with his lover Ruyi, gosh! He was like a new person, sweet and know how to handle a strong woman. They truly are a power couple. They are really made for each other. No one can handle a strong, intelligent and reserve NYZ and the same with Ruyi which was independent and strong.
Such a wonderful drama and I can rewatch this without hesitation despite of the angst at the end because the acting is so touching and moving that I can watch them again and again while I'm sobbing in my pillow.
Do not hesitate.. It's a magnificent drama.

Marriage is a work in progress for both partners
A story of the Li family to find a husband for the five daughters, who have different and distinct characters.This story shows that a marriage will not always be perfect. They must understand both their strengths and weaknesses to make it work. Each daughter got a set of stories, and little by little both the wife and husband, especially the husband, learned to adjust to their hard-to-crack wives.
I love the son-in-law alliance. Despite their constant betrayal, they manage to help each other make amends with their wives and lead peaceful lives.
The sisters were definitely sticking to each other through ups and downs. What a wonderful opportunity to see how the family united, especially in the hardest part of life.
A big applause to Madam Li. This story shows what a mother can sacrifice for her children. She is tough but very soft with her daughters. Such behavior shows that whatever happens, children will always count on their mother.
Definitely my favorite story was the fourth daughter, Haode, and Shen Hui Zao. Their story is refreshing, where both of them were honest and took a stand for their values.
Overall, this is wonderful to watch. What a wonderful set of stories in one drama.

A lovable documentary of life
It took me a while to finish this drama. For me, it's not a drama that you wanted to marathon but watching it in the right mood.Why do I love this drama?
What I really love about this drama is how they tell the story of each characters. Ung desperately wants a simple life and to cope with his loneliness. Whenever we are in a state of suffering, we have our own way to deal with it. Yeon Soo's struggles and the consequences that follow in all the decisions that we make. That all make sense.
Ji Ung's character really hits my heart. How he deals with his one-sided love, his relationship with his mother, his relationship with Ung, and everything in between. It was so realistic and inspiring. So whenever I see bad comments about him, loving his best friend's girlfriend and when he tried to suppress his feelings and tried to avoid them was very common and relatable to do.. Just wait until you experience the same situation in your life. The same with NJ. I love her boldness and openness but she was understanding and know how to accept defeat.
Overall a wonderful story of life. A comforting drama to all. Even the OST was wonderful. Well, deserve the praise.

Music was wonderfully made for this movie.a classical song for a very classic story.
It made me think that I didn't understand much about love. Its not all about happiness its about the timeliness of the love for each other no matter what happen.
Overall this will be in my heart forever.

Love smells like AGARWOOD.
A simple story of healing with a bonus of knowing some traditional medicine that could benefit your health.Everything was perfect, and it will continuously give you butterflies.
I just want to commend Zhang Ling He for a wonderful portrayal as He Su Ye. His charismatic energy and beautiful, playful smile give you a happiness while watching him pursue his love of his life.
Everyone was amazing, and I just love the cinematic setting. It is a good watch if you want a break from the tragic and complicated dramas out there...

Memories don't disappear. They're smeared into your soul.
It's 3 a.m., and I just finished this wonderful drama. It's been a while since I appreciated a contemporary genre. Actually, I tried avoiding this kind of genre because most of them were cringey and the story was not that deep.However, this one surprisingly had an interesting plot in terms of timeline; going back and forth is easy to pick up. The way they show the POV of both leads was one of the highlights. It's annoying when we only see one side of the story, but here it was done right. They also meticulously crafted the connection between the characters.
Sometimes they show cringey moments, but I don't care. They deserved those cutesy and happy moments after what they experienced.
Finally, hats off to the leads. They both did great here, especially when they were crying. It will hit you. Just wonderful. Don't judge it by the comments. Indeed, at times, the story progressed slowly, but this was necessary for the story's development.
I love it..and one of the best that I watched this year.

Characters:
Lee Gun- this guy is crazy! trust me. HE IS CRAZY! But with a kind a heart and delivers funny lines that will make you laugh so hard in the middle of the night. Everyone loves our Gunnie. Jang Hyuk really stand out in this drama coz his gestures and eyes gave so much emotion. And his trade mark laugh shows many emotions. Those eyes were mesmerizing..:)
Kim -Mi Young- I love her character here. She manage to maintain her good side even if she change a lot after 3 years.. Jang Nara gave life to Lee Guns noble life..
Supporting charactes- even if I mainly focused in the two main lead Daniel, Sera, and Gun and Mi Young's family definitely works out. The funny scene especially with Secretary Tak(Wow all the secretaries in dramaland was awesome), I laugh so hard. Gun and Tak made a great tandem in comedic scenes.
Story: Cliches. Full of cliches. But it was entertaining until the end. I know many viewers didnt like the dramatic scenes but I think it gave life in the story. I just wait patiently and enjoy some cute moments until they got back together.
OST- There's so many OST that was used in this drama and every song made perfectly for the scene. Even if the titanic song or inspector gadget song was so hilarious and funny. But I love the Good Bye My love coz in brings tear to my eyes,...
Overall. This one will give you a roller coaster ride.. I will definitely recommend this because it was so entertaining and because they will love GUN so much.. That when he started to laugh, you will started to laugh like him .

What heart wants.
A very unique and timely drama understanding human emotion. This is a very interesting way to show that it's not always about the outside appearance, but the good nature within. The portrayal by the leads is truly remarkable.But my favorite is the second lead. I don't know why, but it feels so natural. Yuan Li is an amazing friend and a strong one, too. Her parents abandoned her after their divorce, yet she grew up with a good and kind heart. She reminds me of my one friend. And Gu Yu, the very mature guy that I love. He understands his boundaries, and he is also a tremendous support for everyone. I don't know It's just clicking on me. Love them.
Overall, it's a really fun drama to watch. I will rewatch some of the funny scenes. Just try it, guys. :)

Takeru really shines in a drama where his character is serious, dark and suffers a lot. You can feel his sorrow, emptiness and suffering and happiness with that eyes and great use of that tears. Just love him. Although it can be a 10 episode drama, I cannot complain because I enjoyed this so much.
What I love about Japanese drama is they found character that really fit for the role and Riko and his band mate as well as the crude band was perfect.
Whoever composed that last song, I salute you. It really sends Aki's message for Riko. I think I just broke the reply button for that song.
Great drama for me. And I'm ready for the side story for this one. I think I will not watch the Korean version because this one engraves deeply to my heart like my stubbornness to watch Rich Man Poor woman k drama version because I love the Japanese Version so much..
Just try this one guys. You will love it.... :)

Just how long can you endure?
This is a story of life's suffering because of not letting the past go and tried to patch it with newfound happiness without clearing everything first.At first, it was so peaceful and as everyone said, it's like healing your own heart and taught you how to be brave, facing the harsh life with hope but in the middle, it became so depressing and the new love became toxic because of self-pity, insecurities, and misunderstanding until they sort things out and found that deserve happiness.
It's the first time that I watch Kim Min Jae and I just want to applaud his fantastic acting. I can feel his loneliness, burdened, and that sad smile trying to cheer them up even if he was struggling inside. Bravo Kim Min Jae!
And Park Eun Bin is still amazing as always. What I'm bothered about was her hair, laying in front. I just want to put it on her back but overall she was great.
Great wrapup so I'm not complaining about the flaws. It's just that I feel bad for KMJ and he deserved to have more scenes how he sorts things out until he got that great ending.
Overall. If you want to watch this just go with the flow. It was an amazing drama. Do not hesitate to watch it. :)
Everyone will find their own happiness. Do not worry.. We are struggling right now, I know it's hard. Keep moving forward and learned from your mistakes in the past.

After I watched the last episode, this line from Bidam suddenly struck to my mind from episode 28.
Bidam: My life’s expectancy is fated…. To be three days shorter than the King of this heavenly Kingdom. You will know what I mean…
Characters:
Deokman9/10-As stated above, both young and adult Deokman did a really good job as Queen Seon Duk. At first I’m not fascinated to her acting maybe because of her facial expression but as the story goes by I get used to it and in the end she really stood out as a queen.
Bidam10+/10 – What can I say. He’s the only one I know that surely looks dashing while covered with blood. That very first scene my heart throb so much. I read many comments and 90 percent of the commentators really praise him and what will be his fate in the end. So I tried not to get attached to his character. But damn, he shows in episode 21 and he really drives to my heart with a bang! A very complex character that was Bidam is. And also a very pitiful one. He’s a cunning, kinda psychopath, but if you watch the whole show you will understand and love him deeply. For me he is kind, sweet, has a very cute and childish smile with a serious fighting skill. Chincha! I was mesmerized how he used sword and that awesome fighting technique. Until now I keep replying his entire fighting scene.I wonder what will be the best adjective that I can give to him. At first it was “innocent” but the writer was right, a term ‘sincere’ will fit him. And so in the end I cried soooo much.. jeeezzzz.. Having attached to his character I just want him to be happy together with Deokman. Bidam of the nameless guild. I am very proud and magnanimously rooting for him when he doesn’t have any allies. He’s not your typical hero like Yushin. But how he thinks, calculate situation, act, everything that he do and sometimes being a villain made him an unforgettable person and a worthy partner for Deokman.
PS. I love the promise ring of Bidam and Seon Duk?
Yushin7/10- The righteous man from start to the end. Don’t get me wrong I think he did a good job being yushin but he didn’t get to me until the end. What I love about Yushin is he’s really honest and devoted to his nation especially Gaya people.
Mishil10/10- A very good artist indeed. Even though she just sit there, gave Cheshire smile, instruct her supporter ,not that much fighting scene(but she’s badass in the first episode) She really shows the other ways on how to be an effective villain. I didn’t hate her coz there’s a feeling that she wanted to protect Shilla and she really is concern to her siblings and clan members. She died as a very dignified woman and Deokman learned a lot from her. That’s why our queen admires her in the end.
All the characters from Alcheon, Bojong, Muno, Chulsuk, Seolwan and others did a very magnificent acting. I hate them when they do bad things especially to my Bidam and love how devoted the other characters to the queen like Alcheon, Gubang and the others.
Overall I think I will watch it again if I have time because of Bidam. In my opinion it was more enjoyable watching QSD than Empress Ki. It’s just my opinion. So try it guys. Don’t be intimidated with the number of episode because it will entertain you until the end. ?

What kind of life you have right now?
A journey of self-awareness, reflection, and blissfully liberating yourself to be the better version of yourself.Each sibling had their own issues, dream, and views in life that we can relate to at least one of them. And for me, I learned something from each one of them . CH reminds me how to have empathy for others, or give your all in everything that you do. Take a leap of fate and enjoy the little things. I love his character so much. For KJ, a struggle for women who wanted to find perfect love, and if that happens, you must give it all. And MJ gives me the strength to be brave and I like her silent approach to the problems. She's not shouting or wrecking things just like in the other dramas, but here, her stare can give you chills or her inner monologue can relate to others, well because we are most like that somehow.
Each character got a very important part in the drama. Our Mr. Gu of course as well as the others like the Yeom parents, siblings friend, their co-workers, everything was memorable. Every line strikes your heart.
It's a drama that you can go back and watch whenever you are feeling empty because it reminds you that it's okay to feel like that. It's a comfort drama. A subtle and relaxed feeling.
Magnificent and Amazing is still an understatement of how to describe this unique and memorable drama.

The Dark Horse in 2021
After I finished this drama, I immediately open my computer and excited to write a review in this wonderful, captivating and enticing drama of 2021.This drama clearly shows that the storyline, script, and meticulous director can overcome the low budget in order to produce a high-quality drama. I heard that the drafting of the script took 3 years of revision and exchanging of ideas for the writers and director. And I must say, I as a viewer was very thankful because I really enjoyed every minute of this drama. I will rant if they will not get at least one award this year.
This is so fun to watch for a crime investigation drama. I cannot remember how many times I laugh while maintaining the core of the story.
Why I love this so much?
1. Storyline
It's like Nirvana In Fire Again. You cannot skip an episode because every case, people involved and every little detail was very important in order to finally uproot the cause of the disturbances in the Tang Dynasty. It was meticulously crafted and I never get bored watching it. It's a fast pacing story, you don't need to wait tens of episodes just to solve one problem.
2. No Dumb leads/Characters
Yes! You heard it right. Prince An who is in charge of the criminal lawsuit and Chu Chu as an aspiring Coroner were both skilled in their job. They listened to each other's opinions and solved the cases based on the gathered evidence together with the other supporting characters like sly Jing Yi, loyal, overprotective brother and a great love adviser Jing Li and beautiful and strong Leng Yue. Every characters contributed in order to finish the job. love love all the characters. Even the villain was very entertaining especially the Eunuchs.
3. A cute and wholesome love story
If you hesitated to watch this just because romance is not the center of the story, please try this one. I love so much how they show their feelings and create a strong bond for their love. This is very rare in the drama land. No crappy misunderstanding. When they have doubts and insecurities they discussed and solved them like normal lovers. Every romantic scene here, I'm squealing and laughing because they are so cute. Those simple moments of teasing and encouraging each other were enough to feel that they really love each other.
4. Visualizing how they solve the cases
I must say, it's a genius to use those visual aids to show how the coroner investigates or confirm the identity of an unknown person who has been found dead. It was easy for the viewers to understand it especially for the terms and techniques that they used in investigating the dead bodies..
Overall. I think it's the best drama that I watched this 2021. Sorry The Long Ballad :( .. It will not give you a WOW factor like in every high-budget drama. I describe it as an easy watch. You don't need to be so stressed or wrack your brains out just to understand what is happening, instead, it gave a very calm feeling while watching it.
I wanted to give this a 9.5 because it was too short. It can be stretch until 40 episodes especially in the last episode. They can create more impactful finale if they have 4 episodes more, but I forgave it because the actors were so amazing esp Prince An. I can feel his anger, frustration, happiness while maintaining his dignity as Prince.
Overall it's an A+ drama for me.. Do not hesitate to watch. Even if you are not a fan of this kind of genre, you will love it I'm sure. :)

The comedic action between the two was meticulously crafted like Simao-san's outfit and hair. It's not just about the hilarious interaction between the father and the son but also the journey of Sahara Natsuki to become a great detective with the help of his father and comrade.
Every supporting actors play a good job since every member of the Kagiyama's group has different personality.. I cannot pick who's my favorite because they were superb minus the over shouting of Togashi san. I feel bad about his colleague.. :)
The soundtrack is a perfect 10 for me. Actually I will use it as a ringtone.. :)
Overall it was interesting drama that you can try especially to those who started to watch Japanese drama. Definitely recommended...
