Omg EPs fly to 8.9?? WOAHHHH I'm excited to Start this nowww is it that Good???
Please do - if you like a medical drama with elements of comedy & action, and carrying emotional / profound message - do go for it. The acting, story, pace - everything is spot on!
I binged this straight and it is almost early morning now but I just could not stop. After a long time I have come across such a good drama that I could not keep down and just HAD to finish. Have not written a review but maybe this comment can help: https://kisskh.at/54697-golden-hour#comment-20438490
JUST WATCH THIS SHOW - and it will be the best 8 hours spent in 2025 for dramas! ❤️
It has been quite sometime, since I have pulled an all-nighter to binge a drama. Probably cause many new dramas are released over weeks or are multi-season. This drama has made my 2025 start with a bang, drama-wise! Short crisp medical drama with good dose of comedy, action and emotions - Not a single dull moment! I love shows that have a different story per episode, while also having a single common story throughout. All the cast and crew are great and have good arcs - but the main three roles: Baek Kang Hyeok, Yang Jae Won and Cheon Jang Mi shine the brightest. Was already in love with Ju Ji Hoon since his Goong days, and now I have got to see Choo Young Woo for the first time, and loved his acting. (Probably going to start with his other recent dramas soon! Definitely an actor to watch out for)
While I cannot get enough of them I'll not want Season 2 - cause I feel this in itself was complete and flawless. Though if it is made as well as this one, I am not going to complain and binge it too.
Lastly - if you have not started this drama, PLEASE DO! This is 10/10 in every aspect (more details in my review soon) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I dreamed of days like this since I first saw him in City Hunter
OMO! Same, I loved his character in the drama and ofc cried in the end) and have been wishing since then for him to get a main lead role. 365 did satiate that want and he was amazing, but seeing him in a romance drama lead role just hits different. This has been a long wait - but much deserved journey for him - and am so happy!
"Trending" actor Lee Joon Hyuk - well high time! He has been trending in my mind since the first time I saw him in City Hunter, and drama life had never been the same. Stranger, 365 Days, Designated Survivor just cemented that position.
So glad that his recent projects have been making the waves - and I hope it only grows and grows!
wait he was in those dramas??? I don't remember him at all when I've seen both while following cinderella game!!…
OMG - me too! I saw both shows while parallely following Cinderella Game and hence I could recognise him.
Since you have seen both shows - I am sharing in much more details, and you can check his MDL page also in case my explaination is not good
(1) When the Phone Rings: When FL gets selected as the sign language interpretor in the ML's office, you remember there are other sign language interpreters joinee as well? He is one of them. Guest Role as a Sign language applicant] (Ep. 4-6, 8)
(2) Light Shop: Remember towards the end we see the ghost lady with the inverted nails sewing up her boyfriend every time he was passing out? One time she is doing the sewing in the theater and there is a couple that is watching the movie? The girl tells her boyfriend that she is hearing something - and then the couple kind of leave in a rush, a bit scared? HE was the boyfriend. It was EP 6.
- he is one of the sign language interpretors in the office along with FL and Light Shop is a very small cameo, in one of the episodes where main characters (ghost lady stitiching go into a theater, there is a couple (
I wouldn't mind a season 2 for any good series. Given, it has a good closing in the previous season (without making…
True - but I guess with time, I have grown a little impatient. Like when season take years to release, and there is always a sword hanging over it that it can get cancelled . . . no matter how good the show is it takes away excitement to some extent at least for me.
Ex: Manifest, FROM series were/are really good shows across all factors for me, but because they made it too long and wait time was too much that the overall experience became less enjoyable. Had it been a show with seasons in quick session, would be more enjoyable.
Not sure if am sharing it well, but I hope I was able to share my viewpoint. :)
Park Chang Hoon is so good as Ji Chang! Ep 39 - his drunk scene was really good bringing the emotions out quite well. It was quite moving - can't wait to see how his role proceeds.
I have seen him in other recent dramas - When the Phone Rings and Light Shop where he had minor roles, but am really hoping he gets bigger roles - because he is really talented - and cute!
It was going so well - and then that finale episodes last 5 minutes or so brought it down so terribly. Like what was that? Honestly - this would have been a solid 7-7.5 but with that ending, am just confused - like did the makers of the show think or rather not think!!
Ep 1 - 12 (barring last 5 minutes) - worth a watch, solid 7. Ep 12 (the last 5 minutes and that useless ending) - one of the worst endings till date, -100.
Overall: 5/10 | Not recommended, cause of this ending cause it makes the initial episodes a waste. Watch the movie instead. Else just watch the show and pretend that the ending 5 minutes did not happen.
Where's Kim Jae Kyung 😏 It's been a while since I saw her on a drama
Yes, I hope they enjoy the new phase of their life. But also wishing that they are back soon - both of them are such talented actresses, so hope to see them sooners than laters!
Where's Kim Jae Kyung 😏 It's been a while since I saw her on a drama
Well, Veronica Park has a busy life running Cinepark and dating Ki Dae-joo-shi 😂 #SecretLifeOfMySecretary!
Haha, but yes, you are right Kim Jae Kyung is another underrated talent, she got married last year, so maybe she's on a break. But am hoping that she is back soon with some great projects!
Jang Theo reminds me of Seo In Guk, especially some of his antics like Seo In Guk's role in Shopping Louie (like in Ep 4 - when he asked for more rice - cute puppy)
OOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGG - YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!!! My favorite two dark-horses-turned-megastarts are paired up together as leads 😍 😍 😍 This would be great in acting, and the synopsis sounds interesting. . . can't wait for these two reunited actores to recreate magic on-screen 😍
Because our male lead is the best, no offense to LJY, but after watching CWS on our beloved summer, he became…
I hope so! It is always gratifying when people who have worked hard get the recognition. A recent one would be Byeon Woo Seok.
Similarly I made this comment cause I have seen/followed LJY since his idol days, to acting - and I feel he deserved good projects like this one to make his talent shine!
I have not started this drama - but is there any reference to the song "Hotel California" in any episodes so far? Would be very cool if the song plays in background in some scene...
