EVERYTHING

YO I LOVED THIS ONE

I did get spoiled and knew the ending but I still watched it regardless (for Jung Hae In duh, also the story is just interesting af)

I'm really bad at explaining things but ill give it a go

I LOVE the whole soft-caring-villain male lead character, that tries to act evil but is actually doing it because he has no choice but really cares and loves the girl and stuff like AAAHHHHH its perfect

Honestly Jisoo's role here was not at all memorable, like the girl was just a filler, the story was 90% about the male lead, and I'm not complaining, at all ?

The ending was heartbreaking and I wished it could've been different :( But its realistic so I can accept it

Overall, acting was superb by all actors, OST was great, production is awesome, I rate this a 9/10! LOVE LOVE LOVE

totally recommend

Amazing plot, amazing acting, Song Joong Ki is amazing
I guess there were a few parts that were a bit far-fetched in terms of realism. BBUUTTT I can excuse that since the story was very good :>
9.5/10! Lost 0.5 points cause I WANTED MORE ROMANCEEEEE
The romance was beautiful at the end tho can't complain about that.....:DDDD
Totally recommend!

The storyline of this drama is quite unique, but the romance didn't really speak to me; it felt a little awkward to be honest. The chemistry between the two leads were great, the kiss scenes tho DAMN, the only I had a problem with was how the romance came to be. I honestly enjoyed the side character stories much more than the main couple, especially Jin Sang and Soo Kyung ^o^ The comedy in this drama was great too, I had a good laugh. I'm glad all characters got closure and it ended happily. 

Overall, this drama won't be memorable to me, but I still enjoyed it and got a good laugh out of it. 7/10 :)

hmm, interesting.

7/10

BEAUTIFUL DRAMA! I loved the progression of this drama, those little snippets hinting at something deeper at the end of every episode are just CHEF'S KISS MUAH MUAAH MAUYAUAHH

Kim Seon Ho is a specimen. HIS CHARACTER IS ADORABLE AND SOO GOOOOD

The episodes towards the end really made me shed some tears uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ;-; all characters are precious i love them all

100000/10

I've come to understand that I simply cannot watch old dramas.....this was excruciatingly draggy and just not fun to watch. Majority of the time I was doing something else and had this drama playing in the background for the sake of finishing it.... Definitely 1/10 damn

Very nice. Got addicted and watched 8 episodes in a row. I love the main character :) 8.5/10

Would recommend :>

YOYOYOYOYO haven't watched a gender-bender in a while! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this one.
Rowoon is one hell of a specimen FR FR FR FR FR FR FR, so good looking, tall, great actor, beautiful smile, soothing voice, actual perfect MAN
Main girl actually looked good as a male, she has a sort of handsome look. BUT DAMN SHE LOOKED SO GOOD WHEN SHE DRESSED AS A GIRL
The romance was just too cute, main guy accepting that he was gay, ACTUAL PERFECTION THIS IS THE EPITOME OF LOVE when is it my turn to be happy
So satisfied with the ending, it was all for the better for everyone. <3
Solid 8/10, totally recommend as a show to watch for enjoyment. <3

Finished this at 3am in the morning cause I COULDN'T wait to watch it. This is an absolute masterpiece. HOW could something be so possibly PERFECT?? ACTORS?? STORY?? OST?? CHRACTERS?? **actual perfection**

I could relate to Kook Yeon Su (main girl), I feel like her personality is very similar to mine (always pretending to be unbothered and being okay with anything just so people wouldn't see her struggling). I love realistic dramas like this, its just so much more immersive. 

Choi Ung (main guy) is one CUTE ASS BOI. Acting was top notch by Choi Woo Shik i literally have no words i love it i love him. His character is seemingly very care-free and simple, but his backstory on why he is the way he is CRUSHED MY HEART. This honestly the same with every other character in this drama. Everyone had their own struggles. 

Honestly one of the best endings I've seen in a drama. Not all resolutions were the happiest, but it was realistic and still put my heart at ease (IM TALKING ABOUT U CHOI JI UNG ahhhh cries), i wish things could've been better between him and his mom :( There was so much growth in all the characters, especially the main couple clearning misunderstandings and learning to love each other better <3 

It's so fitting that I watched this in summer, good vibes :) Will be thinking about this drama for a while and also will be listening to the OST everyday on repeat until im absolutely sick of it. Overall 9999/10, mega recommend to anyone anywhere. LOVED IT <3

Watching a Korean movie once in a blue moon......with my good friend Francesco (putting this here so I can remember in the future) :D
I ENJOYED IT! Such a weird spin around castaways, literally stuck on an island RIGHT NEXT TO THE CITY! Mega satisfying, just watching the main guy gain little successes and realising a new serenity put a smile on my face :)

The girl on the other hand....I don't even know how any of that made sense....but REGARDLESS! Super pretty girl and a beautiful sprouting love story between the two <3 Really wanted to know the backstory behind the girl tho :( she seems like a very interesting character!

Overall, GREAT TOP NOTCH ACTING, cool plot, mostly enjoyable (except for the exposed ass cheeks and a few other disgusting survival things haha). 9/10! <3 Would recommend!

Well other than the gorgeous main lead, the story is pretty meh, a BIT too random with the magical ball that revives people. Took me a while to finish this drama haha xd

Overall 6/10..... wouldn't be a drama I'd think about if I wanted to recommend something to someone. ;-;

Can't believe I decided to watch a cringey highschool drama hahahhaha cringeCRIGNECRINGE but i love it damnit

This drama was still nice and light to watch eventhough I already know the plot from the original Chinese drama. Kim Yo Han is cute :>

Don't really have anything to complain about this drama honestly, its just a nice rom com :)
Overall, 7/10! Recommend to watch if you just want something light and funny, its also quite a short dram too. :>

Watched this with Julian <3 Our first K-Drama together haha

This one was alright....I guess I've just watched too many of these rom coms....kinda cringy

6/10

This was a fun drama to watch! A nice love-hate trope never goes wrong! The excitement definitely dies down after the leads get together...but thankfully the story had some substance and it was decently entertaining to watch the events unfold surrounding the leads. 

Overall, 8/10! would definitely recommend if anyone is looking for something easy and enjoyable to watch :)

25/07/2023
(I'm going to start putting in dates from now on, for memories)

I watched this drama in 3 days.....I thoroughly enjoyed it! The story line is definitely really unique and interesting, I loved that there was proper closure for all characters <3 I wish it was longer...I wanted to see the romance between the two leads more ;-;

Maybe it's because I did a speedrun on this drama and finished it too quick, I feel empty after it was finished....like the resolution was too quick and concise and everything just fell into place so quickly. I feel kind of sad its finished already ;-; Another thing is that other than feel happy at the joyful and romantic parts of the drama, the sad and serious scenes didn't get to me as much as I expected.....either I'm just not that immersed in K-dramas anymore or this drama was just too fast for me to really resonate with the characters.

The acting was amazing by all actors. AHN BO HYUN is a SPECIMEN. I've had a crush on this guy ever since Itaewon Class (one of my fav dramas to this date!) I watched his camping videos on YouTube a while back and he is seems like a very cool guy. This is the first drama I've watched of him being a main lead, and what a beautiful and talented man. He really suits playing characters that appear tough, but is very soft inside. Will definitely consider watching future dramas with him in it!

Overall, I really enjoyed this and would recommend! 8/10 <3

Amazing drama...I really loved this one, BINGED IT! First drama I've finished in a while (Kind of on a kdrama break right now, I'm getting old).

LOVED the characters, the relationship development throughout and also the action was pretty good. I just really love the whole Asian mythical creature part of the story, its so interesting to see their individual powers and stuff. The mountain gods always coming in clutch with some random big brain play or ability is super entertaining to watch hehe :D Lee Rang's sudden Gumiho awakening was AWESOME.

The romance was definitely weak in this one, really only about Lee Rang and the mermaid, which was very cute. When the story is this entertaining, I don't mind the lack of romance :D I'm very glad Lee Rang has got a companion and has a happy ending <3

And Lee Yeon, definitely and obviously my favourite character; I always love unserious, funny, but smart/powerful characters, it just makes everything so much better. I LOVE THE GUMIHO EYES!!

The revival of the original mountain god means that there will probably be a season 3, ILL BE THERE TO WATCH IT! Can't wait!

Overall, I recommend this! 9/10! <3 

HOLY GRAIL find, I only watched this drama cause I had a free Disney+ subscription but OH MAN im glad i watched this

This drama is a revenge story of the lead girl, but slowly we understand that revenge often does not feel good and will never solve anything

The love between the two lead characters was beautiful, slow-burn (i love), and genuine <3 I love the clash of personalities between the two leads, the girl is all about standing up for herself and letting nobody wrong her, while on the other hand the guy is more reserved and lets things go. It was heartwarming seeing the two learn and understand each other as the story goes on. The love actually felt real and not forced, and this made the sad scenes even more heartbreaking.

Every once in a while its an absolute MUST to watch this type of show, slow-paced melodrama based around love and healing. Actually makes you feels revived in a way and more connected to your emotions.

literally call it LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEEE

I wish they gave us an even more satisfying ending, would've loved to see more happiness between the two, that would've truly healed me

this is an EASY 9/10, I'd recommend it to anyone on the streets

Very mid drama, 6/10

31/12/2023

Watched this with Julian too :D 

Honestly nothing amazing.......barely an interesting story....quite generic....felt like just a visual show....good looking leads....rich & humble male lead.......kind female lead, nothing ive never seen before, maybe thats why its so unimpressive

7/10 

Watched this with Julian <3

Loved this one! Yes I agree that the drama started out strong, the love-hate was perfect, but like everything else, the excitement always dies down when the leads finally get together; and that is okay. 

I LOVE Jung Hae In REEEEEEEEE beautiful face and OFC his acting is wonderful I've watched so many of his works now its crazy

At first glance I thought this was a light-hearted drama, but it does touch on some deeper topics like mental & physical health. 

The OST "Leave It All Behind" from this drama is now one of my FAVS, I play it everyday no joke it might be the best thing about this drama actually

Overall it was very enjoyable, loved the OSTs, loved the acting, the leads and supporting characters, it was a very nice drama. I give it a 8/10 :)

08/11/2024

Watched this with Julian <3 (his fav drama so far!)

MY MY WHERE DO I START WITH THIS ONE

first off, Queen of tears Ep 7 1:14:30  (MY FAV SCENE FOREVER) (it's the scene in the rain where she loses her memories and the guy is absolutely devastated, top notch acting here I legit wanna cry every time) ????

I'm just so speechless and bamboozled by how much of a masterpiece this drama was, like I don't even know what to say because everything was just so perfect

Lets start of with the acting of the main leads: EXCELLENT, FLAWLESS, SUPERB, PEAK, PRISTINE, IMMACULATE. The way Kim Soo Hyun does the crying scenes is just so CHEF'S KISS, like how does he portray the heartbreak of Baek Hyun Woo SO WELL im FLABBERGASTED. I keep rewatching those scenes, I can actually feel the pain really

I LOVED how Baek Hyun Woo is a smart guy, but came from humble beginnings, but still holds his weight in the rich ass familly. Hong Hae In is actually the GIRL BOSS OF MY DREAMS. She's actually everything I want to be no joke. I THANK the writers who made both lead characters likeable & capable and not stupid and scared like a lot of dramas do (usually its the girl).

The story was interesting ALL THROUGHOUT, and I really mean it. It did not drag things around, there was always a new plot twist or struggle and was super satisfying to watch how the story would evolve. And NOTHING had an unsatisfying resolution. The sceneries in this drama were so breath-taking, it elevated the experience by so much. 

OSTs were top-notch as expected from such a high profile drama. My favourite being "Love You With All My Heart" by Crush (so predictable) and "Hold Me Back" by Heize.

Now let's talk about the romance. I LLOOVVEEE the love-hate & second-chance-romance trope ITS SO PERFECT ? Its super refreshing to have a story start out with an already married couple, I've only seen a couple other ones like that. 

I've reached the character limit LOL. 1 MILLION/10 ❤️

08/11/2024

I watched this with Julian :D

It took us a while to finish this drama, not surprising as it's doesn't particularly have an exciting and eventful plot. It more focused on the healing of the characters, and often has very slow scenes. Despite this, it was pulled off really well, the acting was awesome and I can't help but love both the main couple and the second couple <<<333

It's a nice type of drama to watch once in a while, I'm rating this a 8/10!

This drama was very refreshing, it showed me a new perspective on the meaning of marriage and I loved that! The story tells us that relationships are transactional, both parties want to gain something from one another; then eventually marriage is a tool to gain a certain social status and can work for or against you in certain situations.

I wouldn't say the romance between the main leads was that great, HOWEVER THE SECOND LEAD COUPLE *chef's kiss

This was an enjoyable drama and I get why a lot of others liked it too. OST wasn't that memorable, acting was great from Shin Min Ah, and I'm glad they didn't drag it to 16  episodes. Overall I rate it a 7/10!

08/11/2024

I think I watched this drama at the start of the year or something, I can't remember.

The only thing I know is that it took me 10 million years to finish, because it wasn't that enjoyable. There some parts that were good, but overall it just isn't my type of drama. I think I watched it because I was bored or something. The ages of the characters are a bit too old for me I reckon. this is a 5/10 goodbye

08/11/2024

I actually watched this drama quite a while ago and can't quite remember everything, so I'm writing this review with the limited memory I had of this drama.

The plot was actually quite unique in that the girl (a funeral director) could see people's ghosts after they die, and her duty was to guide them into the afterlife. Some of the stories were pretty deep and I liked that. It was honestly a pretty big shock when we found out the real identity of the villain (I'm usually pretty good at catching these but this was pretty unexpected). 

The main actor is very good and I would like to see him in another drama again :D This was the first drama I've seen from him.

Overall giving this a 8/10 because I did enjoy it when I watched it and also did finish it quite quickly (which is a good sign)! 

08/11/2024 (finished this drama today)

EHHH

This one was aight, it started off good and interesting, but kinda lost its spark somewhere along the middle, it got a bit draggy and some unnecessary stuff too. The plot was nothing special, it would've been better if they focused more on the spells and whatnot, everything was just MEH.

Rowoon has a very illegal face card though, would watch another drama with him in it again TEEHEE 

I'm not sure why I don't really like the actress in this? I've only ever seen her in Tale of The Nine Tailed, and I still wasn't that impressed with her (although I loved the drama).

I'm giving this a solid 6/10, surprising for me because I'm usually very generous, but I really just wanted to finish this drama as soon as possible so I can move on lol

Yeah this one was good, I always love the scenes with the games. Don't really care much about the other stuff going on in the background. Can't wait to see season 3 :)

8/10

Watched this with Julian <3

this was AIIIGGHHTT

again, i guess romance movies are just too short and I'm not used to it. This was however ALOT better than other romance movies i've seen so i'll give it that.

Jung Hae In's acting here is great as always, female lead as well. 

I'll definitely give other movies another go but so far there hasn't been anything GREAT.

6/10

HMMMMM I'm not used to movies this story felt way too short and fast. Couldn't form a bond with the characters and the movie's already ended. Saw some videos of people balling their eyes out after watching this movie but I literally didn't feel an ounce of emotion

maybe movies are not meant for me anymore hehe

this is like a 4/10
