Perfect Travel Show from Perfect Korean Actress

Watching Kim Yoo Jung is auto healing, especially when she's in variety or travel show.

She needs to do travel shows like this often! She would have fun too.

The thing about KYJ is, you always can learn something from and about her.

And this travel show teaches viewers a lot.

Due to her bright personality, competitiveness, and activeness , she is definitely a fun host.

Unfortunately, this good show was region locked in near mid 2022. You have to use VPN to watch it.

Cmon Lifetime Asia and Korea. But hey, at least it's free!

Perfect Drama (Blockbuster Standard of Romcom)

There is no drama like this. It's so unique. It's about Convenience Store, you could learn a thing or two

and the beautiful Kim Yoo Jung's totality method acting carried this drama. Best makeup, her visuals are the best here compared to all of her dramas.

Eum Moon Suk and Kim Sun Young are the best support.

Best action, best acting, best plot, best romance without kissing, best cast, best chemistry of all cast, best cameos.

This drama has it all. Never a single dull moment in this drama. It's all healing.

The music is so good, the very first drama to use KR&B, I believe. Colde is not to be taken for granted.

"it's not that bad?" it's never that bad to begin with. Cmon you guys have watched so many boring melodramas, makjangs, and murder mysteries, try to rewatch them again. If you like Hotel Del Luna, you'll like this drama.

I don't get how people don't like this drama, it's funny and emotional, at least there was no break up. Maybe if you like too serious drama, don't watch it.

Controversial stuff? Guys, you have watched Netflix, you are used to it. It's nothing. Just an excuse because the news said so.

Ironically, Clean With Passion For Now is more vulgar than this drama due to its "longest kissing scenes".

Back to the point, I can watch it again and again, for Kim Yoo Jung. So if you are not interested in a very beautiful action girl who can do 1 take running scene without blinking and need no stunts for most parts, idk what you are interested in.

Jung Saet Byul is as heartwarming as Kim Yoo Jung. and this is the most seductive girl in all k-dramas I've ever watched.

Conclusion, this drama has everything. Even VIU cannot move on, even Japan still loving it. To even turn an adult webtoon to family drama, this is a great outcome. Let's not take Yoo Jung's risk taking for granted, she deserved that award.

Kim Yoo Jung, the carry as always <3 . But movie LACKED A KICK

as a true fan of KYJ, I'm gonna be honest, and not biased.

Kim Yoo Jung, Jung Suk Yong, and Gong Myung's acting are not to be doubted at all. Charisma of experience actors, they don't lie.

KYJ has best chemistry with Jung Suk Yong (father), Jeon Hye Won from True Beauty (Darn It). Yoon Yire (Madam), and Gong Myung.

the chemistry around the 3 main leads to Kim Yoo Jung is lack luster, but their acting is good! But seriously, you have seen better main male lead, second male lead, and BFF for Kim Yoo Jung . But these 3 were still far from her level. I agree with someone who said Park Jung Woo has better chemistry with Kim Yoo Jung.

For Han Hyo Joo, I feel like... she acts exactly the same like in Golden Slumber. I was not touched, but she played a convincing adult Bora.

Color is nice, but cinematography feels rushed. Could have been better if it was done with the style of TV drama.

music feels kinda low and not moving. Coming from the music director of secret royal inspector and joy. this is disappointing. They should make it more RETRO, like taxi driver.

Even so, ITS A HIT! Thank you to AwesomeENT, Swoon, and all of the promotion and support.

I believe after 8th night, 20th century girl, chicken nugget, and perhaps 1 more hit netflix drama.. Kim Yoo Jung should return to SBS, get a first TVN drama, KBS2, MBC... and skip JTBC, return to Netflix in the future.

No more movies please, movies are always rushed. That's the problem with Korean Movies, slow start, rushed finale. It's only moving when Kim Yoo Jung was around

Korea can make rewatchable dramas but not rewatchable movies.

Verdict: it's not a family romcom flicks like Backstreet Rookie and Clean With Passion For Now that will touch the experienced watchers.

It's a hit movie directed at mainstream gen MZ, I'm amazed it's a mainstream hit and I am grateful. Still the best 2 hours of my life but I am not that amazed. Only amazed at Kim Yoo Jung

Nan Da Reum, Lee Sung Min, and Kim Yoo Jung shined with their eye contact acting without words

People are looking this the wrong way.

this is a good horror movie because it doesn't count on jump scares and it's not even scary.

For me, it's more of a religious action movie with slice of life and comedy.

Nan Dareum made me laugh too many times, perfect chemistry with Lee Sung Min and Kim Yoo Jung.

3 of them mastered silent acting.

Nan Dareum and Kim Yoo Jung are probably the only actors who can pull the innocent role.

Perfect ending shot with Kim Yoo Jung.

As a Buddhist, that's the main goal, to be free of suffering and reach Nirvana, and the movie portrayed it perfectly in the finale, on the 3 characters.

Plot twist is a genius. This feels like western action movie, unlike standard Korean movies with fillers.

The only boring parts? as usual, the murder mysteries the detective parts. Because we have seen too many of that in Korean Dramas. POLICE ARE BORING, we don't care.

Venom, Infinity War, Suicide Squad? Many of the scenes reminded me of that.

I am definitely more satisfied with this movie than 20th Century Girl, because the plot is engaging and the ending is perfect.

This is a meaningful horror / religious movie. Will always rewatch, perfect to watch with family.

Joy's best performance is in here

the BGM is good

and the song "Happy End" is definitely the highlight, it's the most beautiful song you could create in a healing drama.

the show is very forgettable, but exciting to watch.

Some main couples kissing scenes or bed scenes might be somewhat uncomfortable, cuz it's JTBC.

You will never see such discomfort in TVN or national TVs

ep 11-14 are the worst. classic JTBC will always suck mid way, and it will switch genre to melodrama like always.

ep15-16 are the best, highlight of the trio chemistry.

Joy's final scene is definitely the best and emotional.

I'm glad I watch it for Joy, she should win an award for this. Kim Ji Yul is also great.

=overall=

meaningful hospice kdrama

About family, friendship, love, live, and death.

Detachment and refusal to be reborn in the next life = nirvana. (I enjoy it as a Buddhist)

The ending shot is perfect. However, I feel this is a 1 way trip drama like most draggy JTBC dramas.

Perfect Family Drama with balance of dark and light moments

Really meaningful, emotional, and funny.

The jazzy music is unique, it's like watching American Mafia film, they all fit.

Kim Hee Sun & Kim Yoo Jung's acting should be praised, along with Ji Hyun Woo and Jisoo. Although, I wish they show more of Kim Yoo Jung's side.. being the bullied character.

Imo, the romance with Baro also felt rushed, I was not convinced at all when it happened.

One thing for sure, Jisoo is the show stealer of this drama, while Kim Hee Sun is the major carry.

the greatest magic in this drama? Is every time Kim Yoo Jung smiled. Perfect pre ending shot in the finale

Totally rewatchable

Kim Yoo Jung and Park Eun Ji carried this drama

I recommend people to watch LC2 first, then LC1, they are not related much anyway. You'll see huge difference in quality, ofc the LC1 is better from music, to scenes, to comedy, to romance, to melodrama, the flashbacks and the ending. It's all touching

The LC2, lacked all of that, a drop in quality. The ending was a waste. The new director wasted the talents of Kim Yoo Jung and Jo Bo Ah.

this is a web drama, not JTBC drama.

They should have used director Kim Yong Wan, he understood love and romance.

However, I am satisfied with Kim Yoo Jung's fashion here, improvements from LC1.

Another Masterpiece Starring "Kim Yoo Jung"

Park Sun Ho has better chemistry with Kim Yoo Jung than Son Ji Hyun. Sun Ho and Ji Hyun were awkward, sometimes he cuts her lines. Maybe it was intentional.

Son Ji Hyun's acting was too rigid in the beginning, like she was playing a school theatre. Thankfully, her acting improved by miles in Why Her. She has the best chemistry with Baek Sung Hyun.

The ending is so powerful and emotional, you have to watch this WITHOUT SPOILERS. Almost made me cry.

The music is also soooo good, heartwarming, funny and bright.

Kim Yoo Jung carried the acting here, when she's around, the chemistry raised significantly

This review may contain spoilers

I only watch this for KIM YOO JUNG, and that's the best part of the movie

This is the first Korean movie that made me cry, when Kim Yoo Jung appeared for the second time, that moment is so BEAUTIFUL. If she's not in the movie, I barely want to watch at all. the ENDING IS PERFECT.

Anyway, this movie is a waste of talented actors. Slow pace plot at the beginning, gets more interesting during the food delivery scene.

Kang Dong Won as a nice guy was boring at the beginning. He played better villain in this movie.

DaeMyung, JaeMyung, HyoJoo did a great job, but they can't save this movie at all.

Blame the plot, blame the script. Korean movies need to learn from TV Dramas, don't be a drag. Get rid of the fillers. The flashback scenes are totally not hitting it. Should have gone full action on this one.

Don't tell me you can watch this without yawning. When your movie standard is Taxi Driver and Parasite, this just ain't it.
