Worth watching for Jeon Yu bin’s acting, but otherwise, not really.
I think Jeon Yu bin carried the whole show by herself. Especially in episode 5 of this season, her acting was truly top-tier. From season 1 to season 2, she has consistently delivered impressive performances.Other than that, there’s nothing special about it. The only charm is Jeon Yu bin's acting. The script is terrible, and I can't think of anything else to praise. If you're a fan of Jeon Yu-bin, you might be satisfied just watching him, but you'll have to give up on everything else.

Kan Ziyi was miscast in this drama.
I watched this last year because of Liang Siwei and i dont like this drama.The plot was alright, but Kan Ziyi was a miscast she looks to mature to be 19. The tug-of-war between them wasn't really there. He's always showing off his abs in dramas (I just remember from most drama starred Liang Siwei , there is the first scene Liang Siwei throw his clothes topless and kissing the FL lmao). FL's character is not very likable. She is pretentious and wants everything. I tried to tolerate but i cannot force myself to done this drama. Dropped.

Goddess...what a great show...
After watching the disaster of the series called Pitbabe 2, I was reluctant to watch another series by PoohPavel, but damn, I was very wrong. This series is on a completely different level. At first, I was only afraid of the ghosts that appeared there, but as the episodes went by, another fear arose that the series would soon end, and I definitely don't want that to happen. The story itself was so intriguing, full of mystery and suspense, that every Friday I eagerly sat down to investigate and discover the truth alongside the characters. What's more, each of the actors has improved significantly here, especially Pooh, who made me emotional several times, especially in the finale. I LOVED everything about this series, from the plot, to the cinematography and characters, to the music. For me, it is one of the best series I have ever watched 100/10. It is worth every minute spent on it. I highly recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?

IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T WATCHED IT, YOU'RE MISSING OUT
Phew, What a series it was! I'm amazed. I went into watching this series not expecting much. This was my first time seeing PoohPavel on screen. And what a first time it was. I loved them, their chemistry was on top. The horror and mystery parts were amazing. All those plotwists - truly something. The final episode? Oh God. I don't remember when the last time was when I watched an episode of such emotional rollercoaster. I wonder whether something will top that this year. Guys- if you still haven't watched GBYFD, don't hesitate, go freaking watch it cause you're missing out!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
1Good, but…
The positive point is that the show is marketed as a horror series, and that’s exactly what we get: real, fairly gory scenes, ghosts, etc. The plot holds up, and the actors are convincing.However, the series has two flaws. The first is the romance, which is far too excessive and completely off-tone. We have a love story between a cop and the main witness in a series of murders, so you’d expect passion. Instead, we get long, formulaic, syrupy dialogues about love. It feels out of place.
The second flaw is the ending (i.e., the last two episodes), which is clearly rushed and full of inconsistencies. It’s strange that the writers weren’t able to maintain the same level of quality all the way through.
In the end, it’s a series worth watching, but it’s far from unforgettable.

Easy to Watch
This is a very easy drama to watch. The relationships unfold quite naturally. The characters are going through moments of reflection, and in the midst of that, love emerges. Beyond the romance, their personal growth is interesting to follow. Living together helps them learn more about each other and about themselves.Was this review helpful to you?

This drama, really make me happy
I watch this drama just because wang yuwen, i really wait for her new project, and this project really wonderful, i love the chemistry vetween them, and the comedy that they have. It send me happiness. I am not comparing his drama before this, but this drama more recommend to watch. Love between lines, i think i ever watch the story lines similar to drama Mr. Honesty. Thats i stop in episode 13. But overall the cast is nice though. But i prefer to watch my page in 90. This drama hit me different between their chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
such a masterpiece
to be honest, I only hit play on this because of Peach Pachara. I’ve been on a total marathon of his work lately—I just powered through The Believers Seasons 1 and 2, plus Thicha—so I figured I’d give this a shot too.I’m so glad I did! Honestly, I don’t regret a single minute I spent on it. The story was so gripping that I ended up finishing the entire thing in one sitting. It’s rare to find a show that keeps you that hooked from start to finish, but this was just a fantastic series. If you're looking for something that actually respects your time and keeps you on the edge of your seat, this is definitely it!

Underrated Drama
I was wondering if to watch this drama because of the relative low rating of 7.7. I am so happy I've started it and watched it until the very end. Every Character was so well developed even the side plot characters had their own motives and story arcs. The acting was for most part also top, but what I really enjoyed was the music .The main theme song in Latin was so captivation so I want to share with you the English translation .
La freccia odiosa trafiggeva il cuore
Da quella notte sentirci non cruenta
Gelide voci trascinava a sé
Diceva il odio cancellerà il tuo
The hateful arrow pierced the heart,
No pain was felt in that bloody night,
With cold voice he took her away,
Saying he will abolish her hate.

Love!
Every episode had me on edge. The actors did an amazing job. They portrayed their characters extremely well and made it all so believable. The cast, casting director/s, the director/s, producer/s, make up artists, coaches, extras, all the support staff obviously worked in harmony and are very skilled. This show deserves a lot of love.Was this review helpful to you?
Dear directors and writers, TAKE NOTES
I knew this was gonna be good since it started, but I had no idea it could get even better than it was. It's not like I am a fan of ghosts, but this truly might've made me one. Storyline was interesting, original and the atmosphere was just right for a horror, left you a bit uneasy and tensed up, especially in the last episodes. Acting - both Pooh and Pavel incredibly improved and it shows mostly in crying scenes. Their acting felt really genuine and I loved how Pavel told us what he's currently feeling with his eyes. It was nice to watch actors who know what they are doing and did it with pure confidence and visible improvement. As for Ost, again, flawless to me. Genuinely one of the most beautiful and emotional osts out there.This sure was an era and in case some of you are wondering whether to watch it or not, this is your sign to take some snack and go enjoy this experience.

I get it - see he's a translator but he has trouble communicating! Irony! But, I just can't with this type of miscommunication. No one says what they mean, mobile/cellphones go dead constantly no one can ever be reached at the key critical moment. When one character tries to say something explicitly, the other one responds in riddles, and vice versa.
Cha Mu-Hee and Joo Ho-Jin circle each other in a classic push-pull, anxious-avoidant style, only opening up once the other is pulling away. I found this massively unenjoyable.
The only reason to watch this is 1) the cinematography is gorgeous, befitting a travel plot, and they went to real locations! 2) there's a whimsical intrigue in the hallucinating element
Otherwise this plot is interchangeable with many over the years, just two people emotionally immature and stunted, fumbling and missing, trying . . . and failing to connect.

The FL completely carried the story for me. She was intelligent, kind, and strong, using her head to solve problems while actively shaping the life she wanted. I especially appreciated how calmly and strategically she handled conflict, changing situations little by little rather than reacting emotionally. It felt realistic and very well written.
The 1980s China setting added a lot of depth. I loved the small, realistic details, like how her sewing skills (which she could have used to make money in another era) actually caused her trouble here. As frustrating as that was to watch, it made the story feel true to its time, especially as she navigated life as a soldier’s wife.
Visually, the drama was lovely. The FL’s fashion, hair, and overall styling were consistently on point, even with the limitations of a short drama budget.
I had to grow into liking the ML. He wasn’t my favorite, but I appreciated the realistic portrayal of masculinity for that time period and the fact that his growth was gradual rather than sudden. I’m also not usually a fan of rebirth stories involving pre-destined loves, but this drama handled it thoughtfully enough that it didn’t take away from my enjoyment.
Overall, this was a solid, comforting watch with a strong FL and definitely worth it if you enjoy rebirth dramas with subtle growth and realism.
