Was the tag, "slight romance" there before?? I guess I didn't see it! SUPER EXCITED!!
I don't think it was because I saw some comments below saying there would be no romance so I guess it was added later ! It's very promising already hehe
Never trust the ratings, experience yourself....this mixing of genres is my thing and I loved the first 2 episodes…
Yes I'm glad I started watching this drama without looking at the rating first because I could truly enjoy it for what it was : a good mix between comedy, supernatural and romance. Can't wait for the next episodes !
I think a drama should be rated for it's genre and not for other things it not focusing on. Yes, there are elements…
Yes I completely agree with you ! I don't know what others expected but for the genre it's really good. Well maybe it's not groundbreaking but it gets the job done... And only 2 episodes were released ! I guess we'll see next week if the rating goes up...
Cast is already a 100/10 aaaaand there's also a tag "slight romance" so the excitement is increasing very quickly !! I can't wait to see more info on this project !!
6.5 ??? Is this a joke ?? It deserves better ! The acting is on point + already amazing chemistry between the FL and the ML + all characters are lovable + comedy + investigating crimes with the help of ghosts !! Ok there isn't any real logic behind the ghosts and how they can (or not) interact with the living world and all that but it doesn't bother much because the drama doesn't take itself seriously (for now at least) so give it a chance please if you are hesitating because of the rating
The last ep lost me a little... Like why was there a sudden focus on the cop and his (childhood ?) best friend turned actress ?? Even tho I liked his character, there was no reason to add a love interest for him in the last ep. Like yeah they were kinda cute but I felt absolutely nothing watching them together. In fact I just wished the focus would shift again to Kyung Joon and Rin I. So many questions are left unanswered between them ! What was the letter written by KJ’s grandpa (or uncle I don’t remember exactly) ?? Why was it important ?? And who was the man who answered when KJ called Rin I ?? Are they really done when it seemed like they were so madly in love with each other ? Why did the writers decide to keep these things a secret when we were even shown how Eun Oh and Jae Won met each other in the past ? I thought for a moment about a possible season 2 but it doesn’t seem likely…
But despite all of that it was still an amazing watch. I just don't understand why the writers chose to end the show like this, it was a little disappointing... Overall my final rating is an 8.5/10 for the other good aspects of this drama : amazing chemistry between the cast, beautiful cinematography, perfectly chosen OST, great and realistic friendships... also very cute moments between each couple! But beware it can be a little frustrating at times because the characters are deeply flawed but still very endearing and that's the magic of this show !
Also at the end when the final shot of Seo Yeon is shown, she seems surprised like she woke up strapped to the…
I admit my brain is completely blank now that it's been a few days/weeks since I have seen this movie ^^' but your theory makes sense! Maybe I will need to re watch one day with your comment in mind. Thank you for your reply!!
If you liked "Are you human too ?" and "I'm not a robot" then you will definitely like this one ! In fact I preferred this one over the other two, I don't really know why it just clicked more with me. And if you like when the guy is pining/longing for the FL then this drama is also perfect for you ! I love this trope and it was 100% present here.
For starters the acting was perfect. I admit I began watching this drama because of the ML (I already loved the actor in "Tunnel" and "To all the guys who loved me") and here he was just so cute ! Well this adjective describes more the AI version to be honest but even the human version was pretty cute sometimes, despite his bad boy behavior. In fact, he did an amazing job in acting the 2 versions of him. It was uncanny how he seemed so innocent and gentle in one scene (AI) and more rude and "thuggish" in the next (human). But well they're the same essentially so you'll see that the roles can be reversed sometimes !
Now talking about the FL, I didn't see any of her previous works depiste "A year-end medley" and "While you were sleeping" (and I can't really say I remembered her in these roles) but here she really made her character stand out. She is just a lonely human being who longs for affection, exactly like the ML (even if he doesn't admit it at first). However I will give you an advice if you plan to watch this drama: prepare to see the FL cry a lot. I guess it makes sense in her situation but it was just a little too much for me (still watchable though). At least it doesn't make her a damsel in distress because despite all her crying, she still fights for her loved ones (within her own limits, she's not a superhero). The secondary characters were mainly pleasant (the FL's mother and friend, the ML's sister and coworker) but nothing too extraordinary.
The only downside for me was the last 3 episodes. It focused much more on the "confronting the villain" part than the romance part but I'll say it's understandable given the other genres of the drama (SF, drama). It was still enjoyable of course but I wish we had 1 more episode to appreciate the couple "officially" together. The writers gave us a "one year later" trick and it did its job for the most part, I just wanted more of them because I loved their dynamics and chemistry. The OST was pretty good too. Even if it's not really memorable, it still worked well and didn't disturb my focus.
In spite of my little disappointment in the way things were handled at the end, it was still a satisfying ending and I don't regret watching it. I hope you will give this drama a chance because it deserves to be more notorious and loved.
* SPOILERS ALERT* (I'm adding my review in the comments if anyone wants to talk about the drama with me!)
We need more of these romcom in which the characters don't encounter evil monsters absolutely determined to destroy them 24/24 ! It's a real breath of fresh air when one isn't in the mood to watch something heavy and/or too complicated. Indeed, one of the positive aspects of this drama is the lack of unnecessary "drama" (well at least for 90% of the show, I'll talk about ep11/12 later).
Firstly, I think the clichés were handled very well considering the original material is a webtoon, the writers and actors did a wonderful job to make it work. The story is cliché (mega rich CEO falls in love with a hardworking and kind employee) but the outcome was still funny and pleasant to watch (I admit I can't get enough of these kind of stories lol). Talking about the actors, they were amazing !! I think I fell in love with the FL as much as the ML did haha. Their chemistry was here, no doubt about it ! The 2nd couple was pretty cute too but sadly I was a little less invested with them, I don't even know why... The actors were great and their story-line lovely and yet it fell just a little flat for me but I enjoyed watching them nevertheless. The secondary characters were funny for the most part (FL's family, ML's grandpa) but I found the FL's coworkers a little more "cringe" (? is that even the right word ?). Mostly the guy in her team, some of his scenes were a little too much for my liking but overall it was still watchable. Also the OST was AMAZING ! The only music I didn't like was the intro's song, it didn't work for me at all but of course it's not a serious matter.
Now to talk about the downside of this drama... The last two episodes were a complete mishmash of all the clichés that I (and many others) hate. Of course the grandpa is against their relationship, and of course 2FL's dad is also against their relationship ! I'll say ep11 was a little bit better compared to ep12 because it still had (kinda) the funny and wholesome vibes that we had in the beginning. But ep12 was so disappointing. Why did the writers think it was a good idea to reveal a sudden illness in the last 30 minutes of the LAST EPISODE ?? I really thought we were protected against these type of clichés nowadays but alas it was just a stupid and naive hope from my part. Of course the main couple had to part ways because the ML had to leave for the US to find a cure for his grandpa * intense eye roll * during a whole year no less !! And of course the writers wanted to play with the viewer's heart all the way till the end kinda making them doubt if all will end well. I absolutely hate those kind of tricks/endings !! The romance is the main focus of the show (like 80% no joke) but still the writers thought "oh hey you know what's a good ending for this drama ? Why don’t we force the main couple to separate for a year and have them reunited in the last 5min of the last episode ? And we need to make the viewer think that maybe the ML cheated on the FL for a good laugh of course ! Also we can’t show the reconciliation between the FL and the grandpa because it’s not very important actually lol” * intense eye roll intensifies *. At least the main couple was still in contact during their physical separation, I give all my thanks to the writers for this small act of mercy. Besides that I read somewhere that all the deleted scenes put together could add like 4 more episodes and if that’s really the case then I’m real stunned and angry at this choice. I just don’t understand the need to halfheartedly give the viewer a happy ending in the last minutes. The ending is a very important thing in my way of appreciating things and if it’s given to me like a second thought, like it’s not a big part of the story in itself, and also considering the fact that this one is a ROMCOM, then I will be left feeling disappointed and grumpy and that’s why I *only* give this drama an 8,5/10.
I’m gonna end this review here because I don’t want to ramble too much. On a last good note, I definitively found this drama enjoyable and addictive and I will miss these characters very much. I’m really glad the show received the success it had because it deserved it. I’m also kinda hoping for a bonus episode but it’s not very likely to happen so all that’s left to do now is to listen to the OST in a loop and re-watch my favorites scenes !
I liked the movie for the most part, the idea behind it was interesting and the actors did an amazing job. But…
Also at the end when the final shot of Seo Yeon is shown, she seems surprised like she woke up strapped to the chair as if it happened just now and she was teleportated back in the house but it doesn't make sense because whenever something changed in the past it was shown instantly in the "present" so it means in this final shot we should have seen her completely broken, dirty, tortured, because she was here for +/- 20 years...
I liked the movie for the most part, the idea behind it was interesting and the actors did an amazing job. But there were a few scenes in which my brain went elsewhere I don't know why... For exemple I didn't understand why at the beginning of the movie Yeong Sook (the "bad girl") wanted to call the owner of the shop. It seemed she wanted her to help her but then why in the middle of the movie (I think) we see the shop owner half burned how did this happen ? Did she try to kill her too ? And how could she have called her own house in the end ? Because it means she called her own phone number and not the shop's phone several times... Also for me the end didn't make sense... Why did the grown up Yeong Sook disappear when she was just about to kill Seo Yeon if she wasn't killed in the past ?? I can believe her mom at the end is just an illusion/dream but then does it mean she was locked in the house since her younger self was kidnapped ? Why would she keep her alive for so long ? Idk I'm lost...
Well I guess it can also happen in real life but I don't even want to watch the rest now knowing how it will end...…
Ok I forgot about the opening of ep1 which was pretty dark too... So I guess the writers did warn us beforehand about how things might turn out but I can't accept it lol
So... I just finished ep9 and I just wanted to check the comments here because I wasn't really sure about who…
Well I guess it can also happen in real life but I don't even want to watch the rest now knowing how it will end... I kinda understood that his death was more or less pointless so if that's really the case it's even more cruel...
So... I just finished ep9 and I just wanted to check the comments here because I wasn't really sure about who the second couple was like Kim Tak has a crush on Ari etc but he's shown in the intro with Hanna so I was kinda confused and then... The worst happened and I learned one of my fav characters will die at the end and now I'm so sad T_T How am I supposed to continue watching this now :'(((( I don't understand the writers when they begin a show with "light and fluffy vibes" to end it with tragedy...
Ho ho ho enemies to lovers, strong fl, bickering couple and martial arts ?! I'm glad I clicked on this by pure curiosity because the title seemed intriguing *o* I can't wait for its release now !!
