a whole rollercoaster of emotions!
ok this was my first revenge drama and it was really good. The cast was rlly hot and their acting was amazing. The story was good and the aspect of the matchmaking agency was really interesting. i rlly have to compliment the actress who played Jin Yoohui bc i rlly hated her character, the acting was sooo good. i wanted to see more of hyungju and hyeseung bc they were soo cute. They were literally already acting like a married couple. I lovee the plot twist at the end but i want to see seokjin's happy ending bc he was so sweet for that. Also, i want to see the main leads' married life and their children, so i NEED a season 2. The entire drama was mature and straightforward which i really liked bc nothing got dragged on. the different pov from the characters made every moment interesting; there was never a boring moment.Was this review helpful to you?
Perfect drama for lovers of "The Penthouse"
This is my first time (probably last) writing a review as I usually just share my thoughts to my Instagram but this drama was so good and the reviews seem so harsh right now.As a lover of a good revenge plotline, this drama hit the perfect spot with my style.
I was a huge fan of The Penthouse (only season 1 and 2) so this might explain why I loved this drama so much.
The acting was amazing, every actor and actress played their role so well, to the extent you could feel sorry for the bad guys too. The music and OST was just right for this type of drama, really was good at setting the mood and always added that extra dramatic effect. The storyline.... AMAZING. This is the first drama I've watched this year that has no plot holes left, it all made sense. Every character was well explained and given the right backstory to help us understand why they are doing what they do. The ending was perfect... SO WATCH IT
To be completely honest, I will be recommending this to everyone I know and I will rewatch it multiple times until I found a new drama that is just as good.

What a joyride of a drama....
This drama was unexpectedly great, although the plot of the drama doesn't relate to my life. yet it gave me a good time every single episode. The drama gave me feelings of sorrow, wholesomeness, pain, thrill, happiness, romance, and so much more that I couldn't elaborate clearly.The acting was superb, the actors really brought their A-game for this drama. The emotions that they portray are just so natural. Their outraging performances must be my favorite scenes, it ignited their talents of how great they are in acting.
As for the plot, this one is fresh for me, I've been watching Korean dramas since childhood, for instance, Lovers in Paris. I've never seen a drama with this kind of plot, everything is fresh as new. I love how the drama consists of unexpected turns of table, sometimes the female lead got the upper hand and then the second female turns the table. It is so thrilling to watch that could make you grab at the edge of your seat. There were no boring scenes or plot holes to make the drama longer, everything was straightforward and the drama just want to tell the viewers that the show will be straight to the point. They suppress the romance between the leads because it was not the main genre for this drama. However, I wish they could've added romance genre to this drama as the chemistry of the leads is there. I was so eager to see some more romance between them. Though the drama only got 8 episodes which was a shame, I know for myself that there is more story to unfold after that ending.
Overall, the drama was exquisite. The plot was fresh and I highly recommend this to whoever got interested in watching this drama. I guarantee that every time spent watching this drama will be worth it.

Penthouse Vibes
This show doesn't make sense sometimes. I don't understand why a character decides to not do anything everytime I think they are going to take revenge or ruin something.This show is really great to keep you at the age of your seat. The characters are get-to-know worthy. Everytime i root for a character, the thing that I really want to happen, it happens. If I want someone to go to jail, they go. If I want to ship someone, they are a pair. Some might think this makes the show boring or predictable but rather it makes you even more curious to what happens next.
Usually it happens so, that, in many shows, some sort of big reveal about one character to another important character makes the highlight for that show. These shows just makes us wait nonsensically for the ultimate predictable plot.
But not this show. Everyone at all points of time are aware of what is happening to each character and there are no misunderstandings. It's all about what action the characters are going to take. What will they say or do that will turn the story. That is what makes this show great for me.

Addictive
Omg this show was phenomenal! Gah! I knew from the trailer it was going to be good but damn it was Amazing! From the first episode I was hooked I binged it all in one sitting, didn’t get anything I was supposed to do done today… but I have no raggggrets! ? it was so addictive and full of twists! You immediately feel for the female lead and want her to get everything! This drama puts the Din Drama! The woman are fierce and no one wants to lose! Gahhhhh, I swear I offed that skannnnk like 311 times on my mind and she was like a cockroach that just wouldn’t die!!!! The acting was fantastic! You really get into the show, and hang on for the next big boom. The men, gahhhhh our main lead is quickly becoming one of my new favorites, he’s incredibly handsome in a mysterious way, he’s sexy without trying to be. Gahhhh he had me daydreaming. And our second lead like coke on seriously, what a man! He’s gorgeous and truly cares for our main girl, only has eyes for her and puts her before anything and anyone. He easily Stole my heart, I swoooned wayyy too many times! He was the definition of a Good Man! He is definitely making the list of kdrama boyfriends! I loved the ending, and come on 8 episodes was wayy too short I needed more!Was this review helpful to you?

This drama caught me completely off guard
The story went completely different from what I thought it would be about. I didn't expect to like this drama this much since I just started watching it because of the cast, without watching trailers or reviews. I guess this approach sometimes can be actually a good thing.The ending was a little rushed, and I expected a slightly different unfolding at the end, but for me, it was obvious who FL would end up with nearly from the start. I guess watching 250+ K-Dramas taught me to notice some important things that people around leads say and to realize what will have a big impact in the end.
If my overall rating does not look logical based on the specific ratings, some other things are very important to me, like cinematography, production, camera... and I also do not consider rewatching value as something that should be part of the overall rating.

Storia contorta di vendetta.
Matrimonio e desideri e ti aspetti un drama romantico ma poi la trama dice vendetta.Non avevo pretese da questo drama non è proprio il genere che prediligo ma mi incuriosiva e poi solo 8 puntate che sono volate abbastanza velocemente in una domenica pomeriggio.Storia di vendetta di una moglie e madre tradita e abbandonata ,vendetta contro l'amante che li ha distrutto la vita.
Molte donne forti con caratteri decisi e che sono pronte a tutto per raggiungere il loro obiettivo.
La vendetta arriverà ma per fortuna c'è anche un minimo di romanticismo anche se troppo poco.
Un agenzia matrimoniale solo per ricchi che praticamente tratta il matrimonio come un contrato dove le donne sono trofei da esibire per ottenere altri privilegi.La protagonista ci si ritrova inscritta dalla madre e visto che l'amante è una cliente allora decide di partecipare.Lui anche restio a risposarsi incastrato dalla madre e amici.Il tutto nasce piano piano perche purtroppo è un po' lento come drama ma superate le prime puntate diventa più interessante.
Un drama non fantastico per me che amo le storie romantiche ma devo ammettere che è ben fatto e la storia e abbastanza intrigante.

Match de entretenimento
Vamos de prêmio pra esse drama que me entreteu muito durante essa semana. Como foi pra o hyun wook e hee sun entregaram um dos melhores casais com química que já vi sem nem um beijo ou abraço??? Eu estou indignada que não teve um beijinho se quer!!!Mas a hee sun com a Jung Eugene que dupla viu, eu amei simplesmente ela como vilã, coube perfeitamente nela. Queria ter visto mais do que aconteceu com a Jung min ji por exemplo, o seok Jin merece muito ser feliz!
E certeza que aquele menino que apareceu no final é um idol.
O começo do final foi meio morno mas depois pegou o jeito e todo mundo teve o que mereceu. faltou também aquele amigo da onça dele que só pela graça. Um bom roteiro e um bom drama para passar o tempo e se entreter. Adorei problemas de rico. E o Lee hyun wook gostoso demais.

Vale forçar um Match?
Este é um drama que eu não escolheria para assistir, mas como me foi indicado como tendo um final surpreendente comecei. No começo me trouxe lembranças de "Amor, Casamento e Divórcio" (Recomendo) mas não. Aqui temos muitas possibilidade recheadas com sentimentos que poderia chamar de menos elevados e tem o casamento vip como o produto a venda. A partir disto as personalidades e interesses de todos os personagens são postos a prova. Gostei muito da relação feita com as mascara e as verdades que elas encobrem.Será que precisamos ter ou ser o mais ricos ou o mais forte para ter felicidade na vida?! Este é o trabalho que assisto da roteirista Lee Geun Young e do diretor kim Jung Min, gostei!
