This series aged badly
I have sadly come to realise that some Korean women simply do not have an inside voice. They speak so loudly and for no good reason. Why? Even when whichever friend they're talking to is right in front of them, that's when they crank up the decibels. Is this supposed to make them seem lively? More fun? Or did the actress, Jun Ji Hyn, not know how to interpret Cheon Song Yi since all she did was scream-speak, simper or smirk? There was a lack of subtlety and authenticity in her acting. It could also just be the writers sucked and decided they'd compensate the viewers by casting attractive leads hoping we'll overlook their crappy plot. Despite being annoyed by the FL, I was really looking forward to sizzling chemistry between her and the ML, however, that never materialised. I dislike stupid scriptwriting and this one was a dud.Was this review helpful to you?

Aquele tipo de Dorama que te chama atenção, e que você acha que vai de um jeito e muda aos poucos. Meu coração ficou na mão a cada segundo!
Super recomendo, porque eles são maravilhosos juntos <3

They did this for all the loserwomen of the world
Chun Songyi is THE kdrama loserwoman of all time. Jun Jihyun does an incredible job at playing into the hammier aspects of Songyi's character while also making the audience root and sympathize with her despite her literally being a nightmare like she's got the range. Honestly Jun Jihyun is the best part of the show like her presence is the best on the show. And yeah, this is not the greatest show of all time. The second male and female leads are pretty weak characters and the villain is a very one dimensional run of the mill kdrama serial killer villain cause every kdrama needs one of those apparently. I still don't know how I feel about Do Minjoon but him laugh/sobbing while watching Songyi's video of her dancing to 'Marry Me' is perhaps one of my favorite scenes in any kdrama like it's absolutely hilarious while still being so poignant and it makes me feel for both of their characters. And honestly yeah if I was an alien who had been living for centuries I would also do anything to stay with Chun Songyi she's INSANE and gorgeous and its Jun Jihyun. Also I just think the leads are pretty cute together and there was a DalShabet cameo in one of the episodes so I kinda won. I am kind of biased as this was one of my first kdramas, but it was just such a 'turn your brain off and have a good time watching Songyi's antics' kind of watch and I do adore most of the humor.Was this review helpful to you?
One of my all time favorites
I watched this series as it was airing and immediately fell in love! This was my first Korean drama and the first time I saw this actors performance. When I saw Jun Ji-hyun it was love at first sight. Her performance was completely captivating, playing a character who is a bit of a bully and giving her heart and making the audience like her and root for her is difficult, but she did it effortlessly. Kim Soo-hyun's charisma is magnetizing, this was one of the best couples I've seen, and in a way, two of the actors with the most chemistry on screen. The story was very beautiful but also realistic at the time. The entire supporting cast is exceptional, so much so that they have all become renowned actors since these roles.Was this review helpful to you?

The Script/Synopsis/Concept is not exactly mind blowing, but the writer and director were able to flesh it out and mould the show into a memorable drama.
Non of the lost memories, time jump, yelling Ajummas, switched at birth, drunkenness, giving all your money to family members, subservient women, weak/feminine men, and other quirky Kdrama tropes.
The acting was great especially the female lead, she portrayed happy, sad, jealousy, anger, suspicion, crazy, so mart, decisive, friction with mom, loving nonna, and so on. It must have been a dream role for the actress.
Every actor & character got there moments to shine, all the main actors are stars in their own respective.The wardrobe was iconic and timeless, the main set (ML’s home) was so good it was an even a tourist attraction in Seoul.

100% Rewatch Worthy
I found this Kdrama back in 2018 and oh my god I am so glad I did! It was my first kdrama and since now it has always stuck with me and been my all time favourite no matter how many I’ve watched..I literally have a yearly tradition where I rewatch my love from the star again and it seriously never gets old.
And trust me when I say this, I normally can never stand old kdramas and this is my only exception.
Yes it’s cringy at times, yes there might be small loopholes and things that literally cannot make sense but I honestly think the acting and story make up for this and how story is carried out
(The slight unrealistic/ cringy acting especially from the Fl becomes endearing after some time haha, also considering the style of kdramas back then it’s not so bad)
I found the background storyline somewhat boring at times but it doesn’t take away from the chemistry of the main two leads
You literally find yourself rooting for them later on.
I highly recommend it
