I’d give this drama 8/10 (maybe lower? Idk not good at eating things lol). The beginning was hilarious and lighthearted…
Had I read your spoiler before starting the drama, I probably wouldn't have watched it. The trailer had me thinking that this was purely a lighthearted, fun drama about a man cross-dressing (and looks ADORABLE doing so) with a bit of action. But the second half disappointed me a whole lot. I felt like I was watching a different drama and had to force myself to just finish it. But I must say that the beginning of the final episode made me so happy again and I'm glad they inserted that scene.
First half: Pretty well-done, light-hearted and just fun. Second half got more srsly but was not that easy to…
I agree with everything you said. I could honestly binge-watch the first half if I had the time, but I seriously struggled to finish the second half. I had to force myself to click "next" because it continuously got boring.
STORY AND EXECUTION: 7/10 (happy ending) I'm giving the 5 points out of 7 to the first 15 episodes and then the remaining 2 points to the final episode.
I watched this drama because the trailer made it look interesting (and it is, don't get me wrong -- the first 15 episodes, at least) so I watched it without even reading the synopsis.
The male lead CARRIED the entire drama. He is the reason why I considered watching it in the first place. I haven't heard of him before but he looked so pretty when dressed as a woman -- even prettier than the rest of the female casts, in my opinion. He looked a lot like a cross between Taeyang of BigBang and Henry Lau, especially in the first 15 episodes. In fact, I would consider rewatching the first 15 episodes just to see his pretty face. ^^
I'm indifferent towards the second half. The trailer made it look like it is a lighthearted drama but it unexpectedly turned serious around the 16th episode. I don't know how I feel about it, to be honest. The events got serious but not too serious for me to take it seriously (if that makes sense). The fun, lighthearted, and binge-worthy drama that I enjoyed suddenly turned into a serious yet boring one. I was disappointed. I had to force myself to watch the rest of the episodes because I still wanted to see the male lead.
Overall, it's a good drama. My rating started from 8/10 during the first half and dwindled down to 7/10 to almost 6/10 towards the end. But I decided to give it a 7 because the ending was not rushed and it made me happy. Plus, I really did enjoy the first 15 episodes and the ending so I can't give this a super low rating.
I liked it. The first few episodes may be hard to watch but if you get past them, you will start enjoying the drama -- or at least that's what happened to me. I think it helped a lot that I watched the Korean drama Touch Your Heart before watching this. It helped me gain more patience to endure watching "annoying" characters.
I can't pinpoint exactly why I got hooked with this drama. At first, I was in it because of the male lead. But later on, the whole story grew on me and I started liking and appreciating everything.
However I have to admit that it took me 28 episodes to actually feel the love between the main couple. I just couldn't make sense of the whole grandpa-falling-in-love-with-a-kid situation -- or at least that's what it was technically. I mean, a 500-year-old man dating a woman in her late 20's (correct me if I'm wrong) is like saying that a 50-year-old man can date a toddler. That's wrong. That's just wrong. But I managed to push that judgement aside on the last episode and allowed myself to experience the world of two souls who are deeply in love with each other.
Anyway, it's a good drama overall. And although some parts felt a bit draggy, but hey, life is not always eventful. And besides, we don't watch dramas (or live our life) to get to the ending, right? It's all about the journey -- it's all about the heart of the story.
So enjoy watching and I hope you like it as much as I do. :)
Took me 10 episodes to start questioning whether the female lead is just overacting (as part of her character) or she's really bad at acting. I was actually quite amazed at how her acting didn't bother me at all, until she started crying. Anyway, I won't drop this because I'm honestly still hooked; the male lead reminds me so much of Wonpil of the Korean band Day6. So yeah, I'm sticking through it. :)
Tae Yong is the reincarnation of Lee Gak and he retained Lee Gak's memories. That's why he followed her and drew…
But he acted like he didn't know her in ep. 1. Could it be that Lee Gak's memories were transferred to him after he woke up from the coma? That's more believable, in my opinion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted like Park Ha was a stranger when he saw him selling fruits in the states, no?
I’m Around episode four or five I honestly don’t remember but at what point did it get interesting for you?
It started getting interesting for me by the end of episode 6. I saw someone resembling G-Dragon of Bigbang (I'm a VIP so this is a big deal for me) and I got hooked instantly. This made watching the drama more enjoyable and it made me allow myself to get sucked into their world and appreciate the characters and their story.
Wow. This feels a bit too cartoonish for me. Well, what did I expect? It's from a webtoon series. (sigh) I'm still halfway through episode 2 and I don't know if I should keep going. I wanted to see the main leads in a more serious drama. :( I love Yoo In Na and for me, her acting is more effective when she does a melo-drama.
I disagree about the main leads only looking good in modern clothing and hair. They both rocked their Joseon looks.…
Right?? I was totally surprised when he cut his hair. He looked way older. But to my delight, he kind of resembled G-Dragon so I couldn't complain. hehe
