the drama queen

omg i did not realize i made this list public OOPS.

Erm, they're not super big issues at all.

For EVE, the cinematography was beautiful but I felt like the show was just full of s8x. I normally don't mind 18+ scenes but I just felt like every episode, somebody was going at it like rabbits and I couldn't focus on the story itself haha.

For business proposal, I just felt like it was a combination of dramas & cliches i've already seen. Poor woman/rich man, CEO falls for employee, amnesia arc, etc. I always got bored watching, (even though both leads were GORGEOUS) so it's a show i'll never pick back up again!

Again, this list was supposed to be private for a youtube video & based on my own opinions/preferences so sorry if it doesn't make any sense.

Loved itt!! Gave it a 10/10 ❤️ I love hee sik & nam soon so much!

these comments are weird asf... shi oh is literally a villain... WHO TRIED TO KILL HER MOM and has aided in killing other people?? yet ya'll are shipping them together and wishing she ends up with a man like that? ew.

EDIT: So not only did he try to kill her birth mother... BUT NOW HE TRIED TO KILL HER FOSTER MOTHER AS WELL? And yall are still like "poor shi-oh :("... like girl NO f* that man and his cow lick ass hair!! He's disgusting! The writers really tried to turn him into a victim and that's why the audience is feeling sympathy for him. Like shi oh literally killed dozens of people & was distributing a drug that basically made people into his own test subjects, so nam soon got close to him just to stop him from murdering people and everyone is in the comments like "why did she break his heart 😭". Like shouldn't we all be happy that she broke the LITERAL murderers heart? It also looks like he'll finally be taken down next episode, which is good. He's hurt so many innocent people like its time for robbie rotten to go.

The only flaw with this episode was that I wish the writers made nam soon stay hurt a bit longer, i would have liked to see a furious hee sik & the rest of the family wanting to protect her since she usually protects them. Other than that, another 10/10 episode for me! :D

we must be watching 2 different dramas then because he's so cute!

If you're wondering if you should watch this, check out my comment! :D

THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD SO FAR OMG!! I'm at epiosde 8 (so halfway til the end) and i'll edit this comment with more as I go on but woooooooooow!!! I was so skeptical at first because so many people were hating this but I love every part of it so far! I love the quirky family and how all the characters are important to the story, I love this drug investigation storyline and most importantly, I LOVE NAM SOON AND HEE SIK!!!

I'm a big romance girly so I was so worried when people in the comments were saying things like "the FL & ML have no chemistry together", "the ML is not handsome", & "the SML is better"... but omg were they ALL WRONG!

I loved watching the original strong woman do bong soon and I love how the writers flipped the story here! Instead of the FL ending up with the "charming CEO", she falls for the police officer this time! And I love how they flipped it! The police officer had the same goofiness as Min Hyuk in the original, while the CEO is more cold (and evil) here! And i'm sorry, but I find the ML wayyyy more handsome than the SML! I've never seen him in anything before, but he has such a handsome face, a super kind smile and I love that he's just such a good person. IDC how much the SML is a flower boy, the moment you do evil things is the moment I find you unattractive. I'm glad they chose a ML who actually looks very manly like an actual police officer.

And the ML/FL has sooo much chemistry together!! I was literally squealing like a seal whenever the both of them were on screen. The way he looks at her reminded me so much of how min hyuk looked at Bong soon. I also love the parallels! The fact that hee sik had to go undercover as a woman, just like guk doo had to in the last one was so funny!

ALSO, I do agree that there's a lot of focus on the other family members but honestly, I dont mind it! If I find it boring, i'll skip. But the story has been great so far! I love the mom and how much she wants to protect people and protect her family. I also love the fact that the grandma is even getting a lil romance storyline. It makes the show feel so natural!

I know I'm only at episode 8 and have so much more to go, but honestly, this show has brought me so much joy already so even if things I don't like happen later on, I couldn't care less. This show will still be getting a 10/10 for me and I'm so glad I decided to watch!

I can't wait to see more of Nam-Soon & Hee-Sik! One of my fav couples so far! ❤️

EDIT: The only thing I hate about this show so far, is how the writers are trying to victimize the SML in a way. It's like they want you to feel bad for him because of everything he went through but no matter how your childhood was like, you should never take it out on innocent people. I don't understand why he couldn't just be a "attractive villain" where he took pride in his antics. Instead, the writers made him seem "troubled" like we're supposed to understand why he's hurting people. That's my only flaw with this show.

I didn't think there could be a show I hated more than playful kiss but... here we are! What is wrong with writers and making these FLs dumb & the MLs disgusting scumbags?

Like everyone in the comments is praising the ML... for basically abusing the FL? From episode one, he's threatened her, roughly grabbed her face and LITERALLY CHOKED HER. This man basically made the FL give up on her own life all because her doppelganger, who he loved, died to protect her. How is that the FLs fault? She was literally just an ordinary art student who suddenly got wrapped up in this whole dramatic ass storyline. I hate how the show kept painting the ML in this "romantic light" as if he was some hero helping a damsel in distress, when in reality, he was the one who practically kidnapped the FL and forced her to cosplay as her dead doppelganger.

Now, I would think this was interesting if the FL actually fought for her life somehow but... she didn't? She resisted a bit before letting him take her away and pretty much abuse and use her for his own schemes, all because she thinks she owes her doppelganger. On top of that, she keeps romantically looking at the ML, which is weird asf because she knows that he loves Xinyan and not her. I literally dropped this show at the moment that he told the FL that he loves Xinyan (her doppelganger) and would do anything for her, even take down her family. The FL really stood there and said that she would give up on her OWN LIFE to stay and protect him. I get wanting to fulfil the last wish of the person who saved you but how is this going to turn into a love story when the ML loves a dead woman with the same face. How could the FL not think that maybe he would only want her because they look alike. Plus he's abusive! Like omg...

EDIT; (BIG SPOILER)
I just found out in the comments that Xinyan is actually his sister???? THATS EVEN WORSE! So you're saying that he's going to fall for a woman with the same face as his sister? WHAT IS THIS SHOW OMG EW???????

Okay, im leaving this comment for future watchers. PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE COMMENTS BELOW LOL. Like i put this on my plan to watch for literally a whole year because everyone said the FL was annoying and the show was bad. After not having anything to watch, I decided to give this a try and im so mad that i didn't watch it sooner!

This show definitely has its flaws but it does not deserve a 7.1 rating. It should be in the 7.8-8.0 rating to be honest!

The FL is nowhere near annoying as everyone says. I've seen annoying FLs (like the one in playful kiss) but this FL is normal to me! Her first life, she was literally only 14 years old when she went up the mountain. It's normal for her to be a bit bratty since she LITERALLY just hit puberty. But even though she was mischievous and spoke up a lot, she was always kind and wanted to help others. Then in her second life, she was 18 when she went back. This time around she was much more docile and tried her hardest to be nice to everyone. I don't see how she was annoying at all! Matter of fact, the most annoying thing about this show was how EVERYONE seemed to blame her for EVERY PROBLEM. Like someone could've tripped over a rock and they would go "THIS IS CHONG ZI'S FAULT". Everyone in the show would blame her for the actions of others and it was so annoying. She was also literally used by everyone! How did she end up being the "annoying" one in everyone's eyes?

ALSO, I personally didn't like her and the ML together. I think they had cute moments and I know he only fell for her when she was 17-18 but it was still kind of creepy to me. I felt like he had more of a "father" role than a "boyfriend" or "husband" role. Maybe its because the actor looked so much older than her but I just couldn't get behind their romance. I honestly preferred her with the guy who was from Quingha. Every time they interacted, they bantered and it was so cute! He was also so devoted to her but of course, the writers wanted her to be with her master. It was also disappointing to see that when she became a demon, she was still thinking of her master after all that they went through. I kind of wanted to see a independent Chong Zi but the writers made both of them so unhealthily obsessed with each other.

But, the fact that I have THIS many opinions, proves that this show was really good. I ended up staying up a full night just to watch this. Normally, I skip a lot in historical shows but I actually didn't skip at all during this one! The entire show was so good and interesting! It was so good that I gave it an 8/10. If you want to watch something that is super interesting, definitely check this out!

I do not like this narrative in the comments where people are trying to paint Tanya as evil and victimize people like Saya or Tagon. The ONLY victims in this show were the people of Wahan, ESPECIALLY Tanya. They were ripped from their home by Tagon & his goons.

The Tanya hate is so forced, especially when she's been the kindest character by far. When she got power, instead of ruling by fear like Tagon did, she chose to be kind to the slaves and treat others equally. I see people calling her "evil" or "manipulative" for casting curses on people when she only ever cast curses on those who hurt HER or her people! I can't believe I saw someone using the fact that she cursed Mugwang to paint her as evil when Mugwang was one of the people who kidnapped and killed people from the Wahan tribe. He literally cut off one of their heads just because they were sick and couldn't make the trip. He then laughed in their faces while they were crying and screaming in fear. He DESERVED that curse. Every time Tanya curses someone, it is always because they deserve it, not because she is trying to gain more power.

IDK why people want to find a reason to hate her, its insane.

Also, Saya is NOT a victim. Yes, he was locked up for so many years but that is NOT an excuse for him to do the things he did. So what if Tanya used him, he deserved it. After rewatching the first season, I saw how terrible he was. The fact that he kidnapped the Wahans at the end of season 1, just because he felt like she was hiding something from him, was crazy.

And I can't believe there are also people tryna paint Tagon & Taelha in a positive light? Taelha is the cersei lanister of Arthdal. She grosses me out every time I see her character on screen. The only thing she cares about is power and it doesn't matter who she has to hurt or what she has to do to achieve it. Tagon is basically a male version of Taelha, except much much worse. The fact that he aided in the massacre of the Neanthals, just because they were superior to the sarams is disgusting. Practically murdered a whole race, just because you wanted some sort of power... ugh. Now he's trying to do the same thing with the Ago tribe/eunseom just so he can rule over "all the land". Like... even though he's FINE, I still despise his character so much.

Anyways, Tanya, Eunseom and the people of Wahan (MINUS mungtae) are definitely my favorite characters and were the only ones I rooted for!

I watched this like 3 years ago and it was my first ever historical drama. I come back every year now for a rewatch! c: I'm on my 4th rewatch today and it's still as good as it was when i first saw it!!!

Guys where can I watch this with good subs? I checked Disney+ but it's not available in the U.S! I am a huge fan of the Arthdal series and I want to see the next season but I can't find it :(

So, I would call myself an avid drama watcher. I've seen over 300+ dramas and none of them have compared to this. I'm a romance girly, I really only watch romance and I've seen a few action/mystery/thriller shows but romance shows are the only shows that actually hook me when it comes to kdramas. However, this show absolutely blew my mind.

It had EVERYTHING. Romance, Action, Thriller, Mystery, & so much more! The only other kdrama that made me feel this way was Squid Game. And the only other tv show PERIOD that made me feel like this was Game Of Thrones. THIS is how you make a show!

Every character had a backstory/depth, every scene and set had purpose, the cinematography was insane, the CGI was amazing and the plot was the best kdrama plot to come out so far.

I loved all of the GOOD characters! (the villains were nicely executed but I still prefer the heroes.) The only character I didn't really like/connect with was Ganghoon. He was AMAZING and I loved how strong he was, but his character was way too mysterious that I didn't have a chance to form a bond with him. Hopefully they explore him some more in season 2 but I was definitely not feeling him too much here.

My favorite characters from this show had to be BONGSEOK, MINHYUN & DOOSHIK. That whole family was awesome. My favorite superhero is Superman so the flying was amazing to watch! Dooshik was literally an assasain in the sky and I loveeedd it! Minhyun was insane in the last few episodes.

But Bongseok has my whole heart! Even though the show had a lot of different stories, Bongseok's was the only story I wanted to focus on. The way he was always told not to use his powers, he ended up befriending and liking a girl that made him want to use his powers more and then in the end he ended up unlocking them! The fact that its cannon that he's been using his powers to save people from burning buildings is so cute! His little yellow raincoat & goggles at the end was hilarious but I'm hoping we get to see him in an actual yellow suit in season 2, that would be crazy!

ALSO, The parallels between DOOSHIK/MINHYUN & BONGSEOK/HUISOO was crazy! The way that Huisoo would always get Bongseok emotional/excited, causing him to float is the same way Dooshik got excited when he first kissed Mihyun. Then there's the way that Huisoo looked up at the sky during graduation looking for Bongseok, the same way that Mihyun said she spent all that time with Dooshik gone looking up at the sky for him!

And the parallel where Juwon took a bullet for Mihyun in his arm to help Dooshik, is the same way Huisoo took a bullet in her arm to help Bongseok!!!!

This show was just all around AMAZING!!! If I could rate this a 10 multiple times, I would. I wish this was on Netflix so it could get the recognition it deserves because it is undoubtedly the best KDRAMA of all time!!! Great show!!!

I have a lot to say but I'll say most of it in the spoiler below. The most important thing though is that this is the best kdrama in existence and EVERYONE needs to watch this.

idk why people are calling this show boring, it's actually really good!

Its crazy how there's so many negative comments when this is one of the best dramas i've seen in a while. I've watched over 330+ dramas & recently, i've been in a drama slump where I can never get past the 1st few episodes but this brought that passion I had for dramas back! So many amazing thriller shows I watched this year like The Glory & Revenge Of Others but yall... nothing compares to this! I'm so used to fast forwarding in shows but I didn't hit my fast forward button once!

Also, i'm a romance girl. Like Its rare that I watch a show unless it has romance but tbh, I didn't really care about the romance here! I was so in to the story and the plot that I almost wanted to skip all the romance scenes LOL. Like the leads were super cute & I love the little bickering and jealous moments but the story is what captivated me! That's so rare for me in Kdramas because usually, the story bores me to death & I mainly just focus on the romance between the leads.

This felt like I was watching law & order with how interesting the plot was! I was clutching my pearls at all the tense scenes!! GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It deserves a 9.0 rating & I'm sure it would've gotten it if it aired somewhere like Netflix or Viki instead! I literally paid $14.99 to watch it on Hulu and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!

The way this was on my "plan to watch" list for so long because of all the negative comments & now i'm mad at myself for not watching it sooner! If you're debating on whether to watch this like I did, this is your sign to watch it RIGHT NOW!

I AM SAAAATTT!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE NEW SEASON FOR FOREVVEERRR! PLUS LEE JOONG GI IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS AND SUCH A PERFECT FIT FOR THIS ROLEEEE! IM SO READYYYYYY

I leave my ratings based on whether a show is good enough to hook me in the 1st 10 episodes. I'm not waiting longer than that to decide, especially on a show that has 40 episodes with 45 minutes each! I didn't tell anyone else that they shouldn't watch, i just left my own personal opinion like everyone else has. I'm a big fan of FLs but this one just made the show unenjoyable to watch with the stalking because ive been through it before. That's all! I dont see how positive comments are okay to leave but if i leave my own opinion, even if its negative, its suddenly not okay?

Its great that you enjoyed the show! But I had a different experience and that's okay. We all don't have to like the same things!

its not hate at all, its my personal opinion while watching! The fact that it takes 23 episodes to love a MAIN character is not a show i'm interested in watching. Plus, i'm still not comfortable with the stalky moments of her showing up at his place of work & his house when he clearly told her to leave. It's personally triggering to me since ive been through that before. If you like the show then thats great for you! But i don't think there is a problem with leaving my own opinion! I even spoilered it so people can choose to read it or not.

definitely dropping this and giving it a 5/10 for now! maybe i'll pick it up again one day when i truly have nothing to watch.

I'm at episode 6 and dropping this omg. The show seemed like it had so much potential but I hate how the writers made the FL so annoying! I was very intrigued to know what happened in their past and why they "broke up", but the way she kept literally stalking this man felt so creepy! Like I get seeing him by chance at her job or when they're working together but for every episode, she kept showing up at his job, his house, and she even asked one of his co-workers to give her his ID without his permission! If a guy did this to a girl, we'd all find that stalkery and creepy as hell! I get that they were friends once upon a time, but he had told her multiple times to leave him alone and she just kept trying to insert herself in his life! I usually LOVE the female leads and don't care for the MLs but this one reminded me so much of your typical SECOND female leads. The ones that are stubborn, won't leave the ML alone & tries to garner sympathy from him after crying and bothering him all the time.

I wouldn't care so much if she had a personality outside all of that but she doesn't! It's like the writers made her exist only to care about the ML. The way she was always so cold to her co-workers but suddenly had a small change in personality after texting the ML is so sad. She is a beautiful, intelligent doctor who shouldn't have been belittled to chasing the ML around and practically stalking him. Why is it that every free scene she has, she's trying to find him or be around him? Like I love romance but this isn't romance, its toxic!
