yes yes ..but also kind comme ci comme ca

this series started so well. the first episodes were funny, engaging and i was really excited to move to the next episode.
around episode 6 I started to feel a bit of fatigue. don't get me wrong , the fight scene are really awesome but at the very end , especially the last 2 episode, I started skipping a lot.
beside the main goal of the study group and the fight scene there is not really that much left.
I know it's only ten episodes but we don't really get that much depth around the protagonists. also the evil corporation sounds a bit cartoonish..
It was funny, but I would have liked a bit more development. especially around the main character.

frankly? boring.

this serie had potential. we meet our protagonist a perfect wife... who works as wife. our FL is a skilled professional "dater". single men in need of a wife hire her to impersonate the perfect couple.

everyone comes and goes but one man is sucked in our protagonist life.

and that's where our story begins... and where it ends.. it so so obvious that they LL end up together it is painfully to watch.
there was potential for a good triangle Story here. the second lead has a lot in common with our FL but no... that's a drama with no love drama.

I don't even know why she cares that much about a man who barely talked to her in 5 years. i get it if someone is being mysterious but he is just plain.
no offense to the actor who played his role perfectly. but I feel there is not really a reason for them to be together.. but maybe it is just me.

the main flaw is that the serie is too much predictable. I started skipping a lot after episode 12... the whole company drama wasn't really that interesting. it didn't hold any weight.

frankly, at the end it was just boring.. I wouldn't rewatc it

nothing exciting but still enjoyable.

this series is very standard, even predictable but somehow I still enjoyed it.
the only thing that really bothered me is the female lead.... she has such a dead pan expression. everybody else is good but the FL is just so dead in her expressions.

plot: a chaebol is trying to avoid his "future" by marrying a friend that he thinks his family will disapprove. this friend is the only one he can marry because he is also hiding the fact he is actually gay.
his brother at the beginning is opposing the wedding but then something happens....

the actors are all good except for the FL which I can really bring myself to appreciate... sometimes it seems she doesn't even want to be there.

overall this is a simple, nice show. nothing special but if you want to see the same stuff you already liked this is fine.

an absolutely lovely gem!!!!

boy did I like this drama.
it is very short so I managed to finish it in one session.
this drama is so so so so sweet and I cannot stop smiling after finishing it.

the story , which is very simple, revolves around min (let's call him that way, I am so bad with names) who is meeting a friend in a bar. they talk about the last novel his friend wrote and discuss about what is an happy ending and all things around the concept of happiness.

the friend ask min what he would do to find an happy ending and min gets magically thrown back to his teen ager years.

he meets Cha woo (let's pretend that's the real name), who is the protagonist of the friend's novel.
min's mission is to help Cha woo to find happiness and that's where the action starts.

spoiler: this drama is obviously mainly about love but also about loneliness, hope, desperation and many other themes. everything is handled lightly but not dismissingly.
it is a very sweet and enjoyable drama. you never get a Moment of boredom.

trust me a random stranger on the internet.
if you need to watch something heartwarming just give it a go, you won't regret it.

not a masterpiece but I was surprisingly hooked.

the main picture advertising this drama is misleading . the storyline in simple but it is not a "romantic comedy" as depicted.

there is a sort of romantic triangle ( not really) but is more on the tragic side than the comedic one.

the story revolves around the main fl whose is engaged to a police officer.
they both share a common friend which has always being in love with the main protagonist.

the police officers loses his life but his heart gets transplanted into the FL's boss.

the drama mainly revolve around the this "heart" and the wrongdoings big corporation are willing to commit in order to make money.

this series has not really big explosive moments but it manages to keep you entertained until the last single episode which is not a given for Korean dramas. they usually tend to fizzle off near to end but this was interesting enough.

the acting is good even though I personally didn't feel any "romantic connection" between the main actors. it looked like they were comfortable with each other bu no sparks detected.

overall is a good watch.

fricking boring

this drama started out pretty cute and entertaining. we have the typical forced cohabitation story and that's fine.
boy and girl found themselves forced to live in the same apartment due to a scam and they start liking each other.... or do they?
the ml is a bear , barely speaks, unable of expressing emotions od thoughts, to give explanations or whatever would save his ass from misunderstandings.
the FL starts out quite cute but at the end of the drama I frankly detested her.
she should be the "naive" light hearted character but is too dumb to be true.
an example: the guy wants to move out become they technally shouldn't be together and he wants some independence. the girl understands that he is proposing to her... like how?
the aren't even a couple. she is crazy about him and I frankly don't know why. he always treats her like shit even when they are together. never a single gesture of affection. only when she is really upset he tries to make amend.
he says her basically ad a nuisance and literally bares with her and I don't even know why.
at times she seems to have some light Stockholm Syndrom. even when he is a fault she takes the responsibility of guilt on herself.
beside of all of that, nothing. of substance really happens.
the side characters are one dimensional.
they either love the protagonist or hate them because they are dating each other.
the drama lasted way too long and the last 4/5 episodes were really dumb and unnecessary. they wanted some plot twist or confrontation to happen what it was dumb.
not recommended even for the target audience which I guess are 13years old.

so goooooooooooooooood

this drama was really good. the story was compelling, the acting was great (the male lead was EXCELLENT). I cried a lot , I laughed a lot I couldn't ask for more.

plot: a psychiatrist randomly meets a person affected by did and finds out their are connected by their traumatic past. they met in their childhood and were abused by the same person. they decide to collaborate to resolve their own personal traumas and end up falling in love.

the different personalities were interesting and portraited really well by the actor.
I absolutely recommend this drama

don't Miss IT... but don't overestimate IT.

short summary:
three friends run a guest house that is not really successful. one day they discover an "abandoned" baby in one of the rooms and decide to wait for the parents to show up before calling the police. when the mom does show up they find out that this girls has basically nowhere to go therefore they hire her as a "maid" and start living all together with some other friends.

i Saw Many excelent reviews about this Drama and was really exicted about it. don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed but this is not the perfect drama that people want you to believe.
it is indeed funny, the gags are copious and cute but some episode were really hard to get through.
the sketches were highly predictable, not very ingenious and I've found myself skipping many scenes. overall it is a really good drama with good actors and and a cozy atmosphere.
the main issue lies in the main couple. their love story was really boring, not developed at all and the character of Yoon ah was frankly sooooo boring.
we never get to know why she left the baby in this guest house specifically.
the real star of the show is the character of Joon ki. he's the highlight of the whole series. his character is so funny and his scenes are unforgettable like the "gwenchana" scene with Rebecca the car.
if you are looking for a good laugh, cute moments, good chemistry between actors look no further.
I can't wait to start season 2

it has everything!!!

this drama is just so good. it is funny, entertaining, has sad parts, some tense moments, fight scene, cooking.. basically everything you could ask for.
the entire cast is just so good and you'll inevitably root for them.
a quick synopsis:
the chef of the Korean president conducts a very alpha male life. he's good-looking, talented, women love him. one day at work he falls victim of a collegue's trap and ends up chased by the police. while running away he falls into a pool and due to a time slip he ends up in the joseon era in the body of the queen!!!
he is shocked at first and tries to go back to his life but when he realizes that he cannot go back as soon as he wants and that his mind and the "real" queen emotions and memories are mingling he decides to live at the palace trying to survive th scheming and plotting of the real court.

really recommend this drama. the main actress is just so good.

absolutely LOVELY!!!

this drama has everything: friendship, romance, coming of age, struggle, heart breaking story and comedic moments.
the characters are all endearing in their way . they struggle but are able to overcome their hardships in the end.
this drama depicts people's dream in a very realistic way, not presented through pink lenses.
the main male character had to sacrifice his entire future because of his family circumstances but is able to get some "revenge" at the end.
the female leader has her struggles as well when it comes to fulfilling one's dream of success.
she is the very protagonist when it come to perform "aegyou". I discovered that these scenes are very popular among drama lovers and rightfully so.
the other couple shows us a relatable picture of what having a long term story can mean and the misunderstanding that sometimes happen between people who love each other.
the theme song "fight my way" is a banger I cannot stop singing it.

I laughed, I cried, basically I couldn't ask for more.
I really recommend it.

in One word... BORING

I was expecting the usual sweet story between two highschooler who discover their love for each other but when the story Beginns they are already in love.

on the very first episode they like each other soo much but the viewer doesn't get the time to grow affectionate to these characters.

the characters feels more or less like "humans" but the main two are just a caricature. this drama probably was originally a manga or an anime but even if that's the case....

the blond cold guy is really boring. we really know nothing about him. he acts so lifelessly..
the other one is very bubbly and way more likable.

the fall in love for apparently no reason and their story feels flat.
they never talk, they never spend time together.

I get this is a slice of life kind of thing, but nothing really happens..
i am just amazed they even got 8 episodes.

to sum it up... don't watch it. there's is better stuff out there.

I don't know how I've managed to finish this....boring

the premise was interesting. I'm not new to this kind of plots. just recently I watched and loved "lovely runner", so watching a drama about traveling in time to save someone is nothing new.
the beginning was interesting, there were a few plot twist and the drama was running smoothly but at the very , even with more plot twist the drama was unbearably boring.
I took me a great deal of patience to finish it and I skip a lot..like a lot.
I'm still not sure whose is the target audience.
it looks like a drama catered to young children: clean language, no romantic scenes but then there is murder and blood..so.... I'm confused.
dumb choices in this drama are a must. police officers so dumb to let a murder suspect run away Twice, a boy than cannot overcome his smaller sister just just his physical strenght..so many things.
the romance was completely absent. what I mean by that is that there is a lot of taking and no showing almost.
the acting wasn't that fantastic especially for the main girl which was so boring and lacking in expressions.
at the end of the day is a "light" murder case with a sprinkle of romance and nothing more.
there is better stuff out there.

boring.

I ditched the drama two episodes from the very end. I know it is a very short drama but it was sooooo fricking boring. nothing new on the horizon.

the story ( if we can call it that way) is about a shy guy who was excluded from his peers opening up after meeting the "nice" girl from his class.
her "trouble" is that due to her parents jobs (I guess, it's not that clear) she has no free time to spend as a normal teenager and stays home all the time .
they start meeting at her house and spending all evenings together. they obviously fall in love and .. that's basically it.
the side characters are really irrelevant. there is not much happening.
it is cheesy in a very boring way.
I saw better high school dramas and this really add nothing up.

skip it, you wont miss anything.
the only cute thing is the main character that looks like a lost puppy.

a different slow paced drama

I was really curious about this drama because I didn't watch many others mixed up with animation characters and from that point of view I wasn't disappointed.

Yumi's cells is a drama centered around the protagonist' love Life. we follow her around and see what happens inside of her during all the important or emotional relevant experience throughout life.

the little cells that control Yumi are really well characterized. they have a peculiar personality and style and are by far my favourite part of this drama.
I sometimes loved the animated part more over the "real life" ones.

to be honest, the main protagonist is kinda bland. she's not that interesting and does not have any peculiarity. her interaction with other characters are full of meaningless things, she's the quiet one and doesn't say anything of substance, but miraculously her friends all adore her.

the male leader was slightly better. he had a better defined personality and traits. but he was also annoying at times.

what I didn't like about this drama is that even though the portrait of a love relationship was pretty realistic, many of the conflicts between the protagonists were easily solvable. It was a frustrating experience watching them struggle through easy and light issues.

the drama is slow paced and lacks a strong " plot line". it a nice tell of a love story filled with reality.

overall I liked. the ending was fine and realistic.
if you like plot twist and tension that's not he drama for you, but if you enjoy sweet moments, more realistic portraits of life, Yumi's cell is definitely your cup of tea.

the cell animation is hilarious.
