Better than Dr Romantic
I love watching Korean medical dramas specially since watching Dr Romantic. The stories and production are very detailed and realistic.I was curious about this series since I saw it had high ratings. Definitely no regrets on this one!
I first saw Lee se young in Kairos and found her really pretty and expressive. I loved her role here. Very determined and really pursues what she wants. Ji Sung is such a revelation. I have actually never seen any of his works because I mostly watch recent dramas. High time to go back and watch his previous works, I guess.
I love his voice, and his delivery of lines. Very apt for his role as a doctor when calmness is somthing that could put a patient at ease. His character is full of tenacity and he is really driven when it comes to his profession.
I would probably rewatch this from time to time....

Great casting and great story
I was just looking for something to watch while waiting for the next episode of Penthouse. So glad that I found this gem of a drama. This is definitely one series I would recommend to my friends.When I feel down, I go for dramas which are bright and uplifting. This one is exactly what I was looking for.
I loved the story and the actors. They are so full of depth and portrayed their roles flawlessly. The story was uniquely different. Just like most kdramas, the lead stars often have a childhood story connection. The way the story and this connection played out was really well told.
Both leads have great chemistry together. )Shin Hye Sun is already a favorite of mine after watching Mr. Queen)
I hope that both of them can star in another series together.

Not liking the ensemble.... no chemistry
Except for Kim Ji Seok and Jeong Jin Yeong, I have never seen the other lead characters.I started this because I saw great reviews for it but right now, I'm not sure if I want to continue it. Frankly, the main reason would be the sisters. Find them both boring actually. The eldest has a monotone expression as well as in her line delivery. The second daughter, well, I am not liking her visuals. She also comes off as trying hard in her acting. For me, it would be better to cast someone else. Sorry, to her fans, but she is an eyesore for me and she would be the main reason I would not continue this drama.

Feel good, light rom-com
If you are like me and you're watching Devil Judge and Penthouse; sometimes you need a breather from all those dark, heavy scenes.This rom-com is just right up my alley. First off, I love that the setting is bright and sunny. The casts each lend their talents to portray a group of co-workers with just the right amount of sense of humor. It is a workplace which I can only dream of.
The storyline, particularly when it comes to house surveying, is a bit unique. I enjoy learning about the different Korean locations and real estate prices. The subscription angle is also something new to me, so I had to research it first to fully understand why you need a subscription to own a house.
I am glad that Kim Ji Suk is being given this break. He delivers his line comically and his role suits him well. Both he and the FL also show great chemistry together.
Still, I am only half way through this drama; but I don't find anything boring about it so far. Although from what I hear, the ending could have been better

not worth the time
Another drama that is a waste of time to watch. I actually didn't know where the writer was going with each episode.I loved the Slovenia part of the shoot but other than that, there is nothing else that would take up your interest.
The dialogue is off, the story is off, the acting (except for the lead actor). The story has somewhat of a fairytale vibe but it is so poorly written. I cannot understand why the lead actress has this desire to approach the second lead every time. When you think about it, there wasn't much interaction between them except for the time she got the coat.
The setting of the boutique felt cheap and not well thought out.
I couldn't stomach watching the rest so I dropped it at ep 5

Refreshingly funny
I am now officially a fan of Shin Hye Sun! Have seen her in supporting roles before and she didn't exactly leave any lasting effect on me.After just the first episode, I am hooked! She carried out her role perfectly. So in love with her acting. I actually can't imagine any one else portraying the Queen's role.
Kim Jung Hyun is also great as the King. It is nice to see how his feelings slowly develop for someone he wasn't even remotely interested in in the first place.
Both leads have great chemistry together and it would be nice to see them in future projects. Hopefully one with a worthwhile story so as not to waste their talents.
P.S. The only issue that I have when watching historicals is that I cannot seem to remember the other characters. I have a hard time memorizing the names of supporting characters so I usually rely on facial recognition. But for historical dramas, most of them have the same attires so it gets confusing at times

Just so so for me
I watched this because I became a fan of Lee Je Hoon after seeing him in Move to Heaven.This drama is about taking revenge for the oppressed. The cases the group take in varied from bullying, illegal porn video rings, syndicates etc. It showed a lot about the dark sides of life and what some people have to bear with.
The drama had really great characters like Sung Chul and Prosecutor Kang Ha Na. But, honestly, I couldn't get why they had to have the taxi and the video game angles. It was also kind of lame having that secret hideout in the basement, as well as the so called improvements on the deluxe taxi. It felt like a James Bond wannabe type of operation. But that's just my opinion. Nevertheless, watching how these evil characters get punished was somewhat satisfying.
Overall, while it had flaws, the series proved to be entertaining enough

Could do without the FL... very irritating
I have never seen any previous works of the 3 main characters but I am liking the 2 male leads. Honestly, they could have made this drama without the female lead. She has a pretty face and at times looks a bit like Park Min Young and Lee Ji Ah. But her character is so over the top for me.I am dropping this title simply because I cannot stand the FL. Cannot find one good thing about her acting. The character is too flawed. She's too easy, acts naive, thinks everything she does is cute.... well you get the idea. Totally sickening....
Would like to see more or Lee Jun Ho though. I think he has a lot of potential and can pair well with other leading ladies.
First time for me to drop a series purely because I got so irritated with the FL. They should have cast someone else. Better yet, removed her totally from the story

Pointless and senseless plot
After watching a great drama wherein I liked all the characters, this one was the total opposite.First off, the rich kids irked me. I like the second male lead in Dr. Romantic. But here, his acting was just over the top. Even the girl from True Beauty was over the top.
Secondly, the story itself. How shallow can one get that they would just hurt someone because of a bet??? Seriously, is it even believable that these kids have sooooo much time on their hands that they can afford to do this???
Lastly, the female lead was pretty. At first I though she had a stronger character and would not fall for the sweet lines of the male lead. But, turned out she fell too easily. She was also acting as if they were already a couple even with just a few interactions.
All in all, for me, a waste of time and talent

Dreamily beautiful
Keeping it short, I love everything about this drama. This is my 4th Cdrama and I wasn't disappointed at all.Stunning visuals of the main leads, good chemistry, simple but realistic storyline and a colorful setting......I like how they incorporated the TCM into the story. Whereas before, I was always skeptical about TCM, I find myself wanting to learn more about it.
This is definitely one of the Best Things I've watched so far this year

Best kdrama for 2024
Best drama so far.... I can't remember watching a drama that I have so much love and fondness for except this.The casting was perfect! Who would have thought that the 2 leads would have such sizzling chemistry???! They truly embraced their characters to the point that you cannot imagine any other person for these roles.
I liked how each actor got their share of the limelight with the roles they portrayed. So much so that I started following them on IG as well. The story, while not that original but well told in a way that you will not get bored. The OST is aslo hands off amazing. The melodies AAARRRGGHH..... they bring you back to the scenes and emotions.
QOT will be up there in the number 1 position of my favorite kdramas of all times. Hard to beat them really.
Can't wait for the time they will be paired again. Hopefully a rom-com

don't know why i am watching this
was looking for something like penthouse and heard that this was up for a second season,first off, i don't know any of these actors and actresses. Their acting comes off as amateurish.
It is also so boring that i fell asleep several times,
Though i am only just at ep 2, I can definitely say I dislike the character of Park Joo Mi and her mother. Their dialogues are repetitive. The mother couldn't even act. It is so frustrating that everytime they have. scene together, it is always on the same topic. It's like reading a book with 5 pages of narrative without dialogue.
Not even worth the time and effort to watch this.
