i have the need to rewatch the whole show all over again.
I recently started watching Gumiho related Korean dramas, because how interesting the story is. First my roommate is a Gumiho and now the Tale of the Nine-Tailed. Safe to say I'm amazed and happy that the writers and directors embrace their culture.This show truly is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. The acting, character developments, plot twists and so on are impeccable. Cast was well chosen and the storyline was messing with my head but I'm happy with this type of messing.
The only thing that I am not so happy about is the way they played out the ending, it had so many different possibilities.
BUT I started the so-called second season and I'm glad to see that one character there if you know you know.
Honestly I watched the show more for the brothers chemistry than the romantic side of it, but I still, loved every single relationship portrayed in there.
don't read from now on if you don't want any spoilers!!!!

i bawled like a little baby when i saw Lee Rang sacrificing himself for his brother and everyone around him. it felt so unfair but beautiful to see him like that. character development to the max. also in the "second" season, i'm so happy to see him again, and with his brother and of course having someone other than Lee Yeon to protect. (i haven't completed it yet, but i will today).

interesting
I'd say that it was quite more enjoyable than I thought at first. Interesting plot, quite nice actors and cool chemistries between different characters. Also liked the character developments in this show, many learned something from the situations and started to better themselves, which was nice to see.Was this review helpful to you?
was a bit dragged out
Personally think that the story was a bit dragged out, the characters weren't that ideal BUT gave me the energy of 'Adult trainee" and "LOVE.exe". So it wasn't that bad at all. I still kinda like the high school/ college type of dramas so sue me:(I think the male lead (the one who got the girl finally lol) has mad potential as an actor. That being said he played a small role in "Cashero" and the other male lead has couple of good dramas as well.

Friends, good food, life problems with a romance on the side.
I honestly enjoyed the show. It showcased how it's never too late to make friends - even in adulthood. This story is about friendships, hardships and being there for each other even when your own life is a big mess. I watched it in autumn, and I'm glad I did, my heart is full thanks to this drama.The only saddening thing is that I wish we had more "main couple's" romance on the screen than it happening behind the viewer's back.

Solid comedy
This show was full of comedy, but still didn't fail to bring in the hardships of different people. I respect a show where you can laugh and which uplifts your mood. Also it does remind me of Welcome to Waikiki a little bit as well. Definitely would watch it again but this time with more friends. The small portion of romance was fulfilling as well.Was this review helpful to you?
Could've had more romance oriented situation.
The show had a unique approach to the main topic - insurance. I love such niche dramas where you get an insight of different fields of work, school etc. Also I quite enjoy Lee Dong-Wook's acting (as one does).In addition, it was a slow burn romance, but the romance was cut off before it could get to it's full potential (read: the show ended too early).

Character developments
I think the most fitting words to describe this drama are "character developments". I grew to like many of the characters, even the loser ahh ex boyfriend. The storyline was a bit messy, but nothing too bad imo. I wished they didn't rush the ending though.Also the chemistry between the female and male lead was nice.

It's never too late to make friends, our differences is what makes us "us".
We need to find ourselves among others. Our encouragement means a lot to other people and so does our own stories. This show really showed us how beautiful it is to be different or be yourself, how the right people will support you and help you grow, not hold you back. I think it's really important, especially nowadays. I can't even describe how sad and lonely it is if you have no one rooting for you or having your back. These kinds of feelings I just described, you'll feel and see from this drama. I hope you truly do what you want to and I hope you try out doing many different things. It's okay if you don't know what you like or dislike. You won't figure it out unless you try.Was this review helpful to you?
I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but it was quite cool.
I like thriller/crime/revenge dramas. It wasn't too good but I think I'd give it enough credit. Good cast, plottwists were quite unexpected ones and I've liked the main actress' work before and this drama is not an exception. Although I agree that the storyline could've been better. For me personally the ending of the last episode could've been more romance oriented but it is what it is.Was this review helpful to you?
I LOVE THE ACTORS SM
This concept is quite refreshing for a Korean show, the romance was romancing and the chemistry between actors was on FIRE. Also I loved seeing Kim Seon-Ho in a romcom for the first time in such a long time. I want to put the female lead in mi pocket, because she was so adorable.I was so surprised to see the Do Ra-Mi situation, but I think this was very much needed with Idol I episodes releasing at the same time and an actually nice second male lead once again.
Will be rewatching:)

if you can’t tell that it’s fake, is it really fake?
This story has some insane plottwists and quite literally lives up to it’s name. I’d say it has kind of similar vibe to an other kdrama called “The celebrity” so if you liked that one, I suggest watching this show as well. The storytelling was quite clear in the end and everything made sense, even the ending if you really think about it. The pattern continues, whether someone likes it or not. Maybe it’s a bit early to say but I personally think that this drama might be one of THE dramas of 2026 and it’s only February, that’s how much I enjoyed it:)Was this review helpful to you?
beautiful breakup
The OST was insanely good, it made me wish that LUNA was an actual group with music like that. Acting was so nice and I'm a bit sad that I didn't watch it earlier, though it was on my watchlist for YEARS. But it's better late than never, am I right? Anyways if you're looking for a show with some great music, an insight to musicians lives and group of dudes who are like brothers, I beg you watch this!!!Was this review helpful to you?
we are living in a lonely world
There's no shame in having an outlet to your real life world's problems, a way to relieve your stress and problems. This show has the exact vibe, somewhat even taboo and shameful. But in the end whatever works for you works for you.It was a quite unique show and Jisoo is a great actress, hope to see her in the future again doing acting work. Also insane cast in general, the greatest actresses and actors in one show!! A great drama to unwind to on a rainy day.

a drama about all the taboo topics!!!
This was such a refreshing show to watch! The drama discussed very delicately but at the same time very rawly different taboo topics (in Korea and well honestly all around the world) such as lgbt+ relationships, basically corruption in police system, different health concerns (mental & physical) and so much more. I personally think that this wasn't your typical revenge drama, but actually so much more than that. I really loved all the actors who played in this drama!Was this review helpful to you?
i inhaled the whole show.
Wow. Just wow. It seemed to be so short at first, but in my opinion it was the perfect length, although the ending was rather left to edge? Anyways, it was morally a bit challenging and the plot was twisting as promised.I also think that the topic the show was built around is very important for people to discuss.
I loved the show so much, I'd watch it all over again for even 3 times right now.
