Interesting sometimes Boring....
Rich Man presents a refreshing take on the romantic comedy genre, blending heartfelt moments with a unique premise. The story centers on Lee Yoo Chan, the CEO of the successful IT company Next In, who struggles with prosopagnosia, a condition that prevents him from recognizing faces. His guarded nature creates a compelling backdrop for his relationship with Kim Bo Ra, a determined college student with dreams of working for his company.The chemistry between the leads, played by Lee Min-ki and Kim Ji-won, is undeniably captivating. Their relationship evolves beautifully, highlighting themes of trust and comfort, which makes their connection feel genuine. The supporting characters also add depth to the narrative, and their subplots are just as engaging, providing comic relief and additional layers to the main story.
However, the series does have its shortcomings. One of the main issues is the pacing, particularly in the buildup to the main couple's confession of love. While the tension and anticipation can be thrilling, I found myself growing impatient at times, wishing for a more immediate exploration of their feelings. The slow burn, while effective in some instances, might frustrate viewers looking for a quicker resolution.
Additionally, some plot points felt a bit predictable, adhering to familiar romcom tropes. This predictability, combined with the drawn-out romantic tension, led me to feel that while the story was enjoyable, it lacked the freshness needed to elevate it beyond a standard romantic comedy.
In conclusion, Rich Man is a charming watch with strong themes of perseverance and friendship, making it a worthwhile addition to the romcom genre. Despite its pacing issues and predictability, the heartfelt moments and character development make it a series I would recommend to fans of the genre. If you’re looking for a light-hearted show with relatable characters and an engaging story, give Rich Man a try!

Some Deleted Scenes and Bridal Photoshoot
"Our Secret" The best youth drama for me. A very realistic plot that surpasses other youth Chinese drama. The chemistry between Xu Mengjie and Chen Zheyuan is really really good. You will never get tired of it. TRUST ME! :)Our Secret Extra is an special episode of the drama including deleted scenes from drama, some bloopers and Bridal Photoshoot. There was nothing special to watch in this episode except where Ziqi proposes to sha Di.
Overall the drama was quite good. I definitely recommend you to watch this drama, and about extra episode if you want to watch this extra episode, you can watch it as you wish. I don't love Extra episode much but I don't hate it either. It's more of a so-so.

I love both the ML & FL together and their chemistry. You can actually feel the loneliness of ML as how lonely he feels. Even though he was acting it feels very real. I really like Ren Jialun (Gu Chuan) acting skills he has played an amazing character and Xing Fei (Xiao Ning) is very versatile actress. The man who thought that he had to live a short life and die alone and how he was changed by her positive and joyful persona.
Without giving any spoiler, I would like it if there were more Electric Man-style Scenes in this drama. Watch the drama if you're unaware of what Electric Man is. I highly recommend it.
This is one drama I highly recommend you to watch. I thought the end wouldn't be the great and I'll end up crying..😂 But its just amazing, I love the happy ending, it wasn't quite as typical. But I didn't thought it would turn like this in the end... It was happy and they do end up staying together!💖 I enjoyed every episode. And its really worth watching.

I just completed watching this C-Drama and I really really loved this show. I enjoyed the chemistry between the leads and all the member of team K&K... their dedication, responsibility, persistence and hard work is commendable?????? (specially Hu Yitian). It's literally worth watching. I think I have my feeling attached to go go squid. Though han shangyan (male lead) look had cruel expressions but honestly his personality is displayed as one of the best and most warmth characters. I genuinely loved this drama alot. I still adore this drama alot though its kinda lengthy in terms of c drama but honestly speaking If you watch this drama it would be one of the best rom com drama ever watched. Must watch!!!!!!!!.In this show FL (tong nian) reflect outstanding personalities trust, love, responsibility, desire, support, temper, behavior and bonding towards her family and Han Shangyan.
Li Xian?, I'm really a fan of his acting and his good looks... he is a real gun god???. In Han ShangYan character he had the F*ck off face all the time, but because of his drop dead good looks?you can't get annoyed watching his ugly personality. He reflects best person through their character and inspire many adults for everything he did.
Here the love story is damn cute and lovable with all understandings. I just say what a outstanding performance by all characters... All the characters in the drama makes up to the main characters and makes you to not only watch for the leads but other characters as well

Short but Cute Romance
I just finished it in a day, it was short but beautiful one, after the Korean and Chinese dramas it was my first Japanese drama. To be honest I don't like Japanese drama that much but this was really good. what a cute, sweet romantic short series, I really enjoy each and every episode both ML and FL was literally a perfect soulmate.Their chemistry was mind blowing, they really look good together, their smile, the way he teased her was really good and the way he react. I laughed a lot and enjoyed this series.
I agree the way their marriage started is not real (which is a negative marking of the series), but the way they showed a newly married couple, I liked that, all the romance, slowly knowing each other, starting to understand each other and all the stuff newly married do. If you like to watch the life of a newlywed couple or if you want to watch a romantic movie or something, It's really a size of a movie, then go for it. Happy watching.
Overall I would definitely recommend you this show. It does not 100% show couple love only but more towards a happy family love. I really love it.

Interesting and Boring at the same time
The Atypical Family starts off strong, with an intriguing setup: a depressed dad with time-jumping powers, a con artist with a secret agenda, and a family of ex-superheroes. It had all the ingredients for something special, but unfortunately, it couldn’t maintain the magic.👍 What I liked:
The standout performances come from the women—especially Chun Woo-hee, whose sharp, unpredictable heroine brings real life to the story. The younger characters, like mind-reading Ina and flightless Bo Dong-hee, add much-needed depth and heart. The main couple has solid chemistry, the time-jump sequences are nicely handled, and the show touches on interesting ideas about grief, burnout, and healing—even if only on the surface.
👎 What I didn't like:
The writing quickly turns predictable and forced, especially in the final episodes. The show teases trauma and death without follow-through, and the big emotional beats fall flat. The music is awkward, the styling forgettable, and the sudden time jumps (like Bo Dong-hee’s magical weight loss) feel cheap. Missed potential in character arcs and relationships—especially between the women—is frustrating. Worst of all, Jang Ki-yong’s character is poorly written and overly dramatic, making it hard to root for him. A stronger focus on the family’s inner dynamics could’ve added depth instead of relying on tired tropes.
👎 The Ugly:
Gwi-ju, the lead, is more of a burden than a hero—emotionally immature, unchanging for most of the show, and styled with one of the worst mullets known to K-drama. His over-the-top acting doesn’t help either, often pulling focus from stronger performances around him.
📝 Final Thoughts:
Despite its flaws, The Atypical Family is decent weekend entertainment—a slow, harmless watch if you’re not expecting anything profound. It’s got charm, some heart, and a few standout moments, but not enough follow-through to truly land. I gave it 7 stars for the strong female leads and unique premise—but docked 3 for the lazy writing, emotional manipulation, and wasted potential. With a sharper script and better character development, this could’ve been something memorable.

Just finished the series. As a loyal Kdrama fan, this drama was a beautiful addition to my favourite dramas. It was indeed a fun ride filled with twists and turns, I loved how fast-paced it was. It felt like it had everything a show needed, The twist after twist had blown my mind and heart again and again throughout all episodes. This series is the mixture of drama, fantasy, comedy, suspense, thriller and action. Full of crucial life lessons, realization and tackled different issues happening in our society even right now.(child abuse, bullying, corrupt law authorities, injustices, unemployment, not giving importance and enough credits to the workers etc) Also currently reading the webtoon version. So far, I personally prefers the series more than the webtoon (though it's just me, still recommending y'all to read the webtoon if you're interested, I'm enjoying it rn). The series has more depth and emotion put into each of the characters story and the whole plot in general. The casting for Yee Jae, his mother, Ji soo, Jin Tae, Jae Seop, Hyuk Soo, Joo Hoon, Tae Sang, Geonwoo, Death, etc... was too good to be true too. (I have a love-hate relationship with the casting crews, they're doing their jobs real good). Was this review helpful to you?

Wonderful. Absolutely Intriguing. Perfect romantic-comedy, thriller and fantasy. Most of the korean rom-com lacks comedy but I loved this show. This show is so so much better than any other overrated shows. Storyline is perfect with perfect ending. I love jung suk and kim seon partnership. Jung Suk is really a true actor. He is different from other korean actors because he doesn't only act as cute but do some actions and a real acting, his face expressions are adorable. I love his acting skill. Most of korean dramas are boring but this drama is exciting, fascinating and actions scenes are also good. I love this drama so much. I also like Dokgo and Ko-Bong moments. Actually, every actor did pretty good job in this drama.“TWO COPS” is worth your time. YOU MUST WATCH IT. This drama is so hilarious! ?. I can't remember how many times I laughed.

The story teach me that no matter what happen or what my partner is. I should accept it. Because that what you called LOVE. And also, the main character and also those supporting actors was literally FANTASTIC. I was amazed on how they deliver their lines and how they act. GOSH!!! But the last episode. I'm just curious about the leading man which is Lee Soo-yeon, I want to see his face after 1 yr. And also, what happen in his brother and Mr. Jo. Hope that this drama serial have a SEASON 2!!!and I'm willing to wait!

It makes no sense why this drama has got low viewer ratings. This drama deserves much appreciation. All the actors performed well but the performance delivered by the lead actor deserves a special mention. Yoo Seung-ho is indeed a great actor. His acting is flawless, the way he enacted emotional scenes captures hearts. Fell in love with this guy after watching his performance.
The ending of the story is beautifully and leisurely written which just warms your heart. Each and every actor and their characters are awesome as they are done justice on till the end. And how could I not appreciate the lead female, AJI 3(robot), or Jo Ji A, is beautiful both as human and as the Robot from the start. Loved it so much. Loved it so much. I Will definitely recommend to watch it!!

If you are here for something that is horror as well as entertaining along with comedy and emotions I bet this is the best k drama to watch !! The directing and acting is great. At first I never heard of this drama, and I ignored it too. I watched it not expecting much, but man was I absolutely WRONG. You read a quick summary of this show, and it may seem as bad as the other ghost romances, but that's exactly what they want you to think. I can't even think of where to start- You just can't go wrong with this show. It has dedicated, well-planned story telling, you might think otherwise when you read a quick overview of the story, but let me tell you, they planned the story out very well. Now the acting... EXCELLENT. The acting in this is just fantastic. The acting simply brings the drama to life and makes each character lovable in their own way. They build the drama so seamlessly you just really believe your there. I just can't emphasis how much I LOVE this show. It's just amazing. I really suggest you watch this show. Even if you aren't into rom-coms, or if you aren't into the entire category of k-drama, you really should just try watching this, it's fantastic. Was this review helpful to you?
I wish I could meet Rain in person, he is one of the best Korean actors I know. Everyone deserves both local and international awards! I salute every cast in this series especially the creators, directors and the whole staff.

I recently completed watching this drama and I personally don't like it that much. The story was pretty good with humor, romance, and all the artists have played their roles brilliantly, and the story is truly amazing but not that good because I watched many time traveling dramas. You know whats got wrong in a romance fantasy drama? It’s just that most of the time endings are disappointing. Its same with this drama too at some point but they do correct that with fast forwarding the life and then they give happy ending in the end.I won't stop you from watching it if you so want; everyone has different tastes in dramas. Perhaps you would appreciate this one. The story of this drama is that a 26 year old son goes to the past where his mom is 16 and tries to get her to marry her “husband” to change her fate. You have to take the story for what it is and for a 20 episode series with 30 mins each, it's hard to unpack a lot.
I already watched same story drama named "twinkling watermelon". Where son accidentally goes back to the past and meet his father and then he tries to prevent an accident of past where his father became deaf. And he also tries to match his father with his mother because The future will start to change negatively when he travels too far in the past.
Overall, it's upto you if you want to watch this drama or not but I personally don't like it that much because I feel like there is lack of humor, romance and production was also bad. And it has some unexpected cuts where story suddenly changes especially when new episode starts.
