I would recommend~
This starts off really well. I like the dark bits that are added. With it being so short, they do pack in alot of plot and nothing is there with out reason. Peak of the main plot- it dose become a bit over done ex-I'm not a fan of the guards, they are just a bit too much "extra" for me. The mystery- I do like this part and how it changes but I do wish it had stayed with her helping solve the murder instead of her helping a heavenly guard. I kind of wish she knew Tian Ching before as she is so close to his cousin. I don't like how his "role" changes into a bad guy.
I like how the main lead really changes who she is after everything has happened.
I have heard about being a ghost bride before and for me it did lack in that type of tradition for me.

Side watch when your main show is not out.

This popped up on my Netflix- I knew nothing about it other than it was going to be about biking lol Sometimes a sport drama can really make you happy as the team grows. Reasons to watch- 100% the main couple- they are cutie, have great kiss despite their height issues. 2nd friend couple is fun to watch too. You want to see muscle hot guys show off? perfect for you. Lots of abs and things xD The future/past bit is just ok. The bio says 15yrs but its 1yr. I do not believe the FL would be a completely different person. Her clothing is too different. Little is known about that time other than her being sad. Other shows tend to show a bit more of the future.
For once it is nice to see the guy get the problem. For me it is an unimportant idea. The sport- starts of great, ends rushed. I thought the whole idea was to win the big race, but if you watch the race itself( people do bad starts, and its old shoots from the only other race). What is the point of talking about being late with supply start if they don't even use the van? Their team is just in a tent thing. I wanted more races over all and less of the family drama.The family drama is too much for me to care about. The grandpa was only thing you needed.
For me this could have been a great drama but instead they deiced to cram in as many ideas as possible. At one point you can stop and be happy as it wont pass that moment. The ending dose wrap up and becomes a fully circle- but its not the ending you want it to have.
Music destroyed some of the romance bits for me. I rewatched them to make sure I was not just being weird.
The actors are a lot better than this drama let them be.

Personally I love the main idea of "sports dance" or as I like to call it ballroom dancing and wrestling competing to stay at the college as there is no funding. I enjoy how the main couple interact- you can tell they want the other to make their dreams happen. People complain about the BL couple-the drama is not about them but the rules the wrestling team had in place and the BL couple is used to break them. They should have more time after their plot tho and should not have had the best couple sexy-ness. The leads need more of the steamy-ness. But I enjoy their love.
I like how every misunderstood person turns out to be good or bad instead of what people had thought.
I feel like a lot of time is wasted- I just want to see them compete, they add in a bunch of extra drama. This drama feels a lot older than it was made based on the plots.
I would recommend this to someone- its not amazing but still a good show. Like a side show to your normal one.
ALL SO... they have a photo shoot... shirtless... too much eye candy... you'll go blind

For me this is a half/half recommend. Being from 2010 dose not bother me like some of the older shows. Its just that the plot is so-so with parts that you know are going to happen and bits that never do. I watched this for the 2020 Challenge and it popped up on my Netflix. Other than that I never heard of this drama before.
Positive reasons to watch:
-First- Choi Kang Ta is just eye candy. He has steamy eye and lost his shirt a bunch. So if thats your thing then you need to watch this show. Plenty of other characters use their sexy 'bits" to deceive people. Could be the most I have seen in a show as it happens over and over again.
- The spy gear is really funny. This is more of a James Bond- has a whole team with cool stuff to use and can't be defected. Choi Kang Ta is not an " underground drug kingpin" and of you watch it thinking "oh this will be more mob-ish". He is a high lvl killer, businessman, has a bunch of money- billions and billions. At no point is anything about him and drugs said. He will use the best guy for a job but he is not a criminal that way. Explosive CDs- enough said.
-The plot moves on track without a lot of filler, everything in there is for a reason. The acting is good.
- You will end up sympathizing with then villain more as the show progresses.
-The fights are good. It feels like a drama with in a drama by how the action is shot; very shaky and quick camera movement. For me it felt like by moving the camera, they were improving the fights- and I wish we could just view it. Choi Kang Ta is great at pulling of the fights against everyone. The people he fights are great- this is from a comic book, which explains why there are so many bodyguards there for him to crush. My fav- Cobra man- leather pants wearing, no shirt wearing, spikes and chains wielding a whip/ snake thing. You can't beat that look and I need him to be in there more.
Negative reasons:
- His hair is weird when they style it as a up and down look- just down and pony are fine!
-Don't watch if you like horses - The turning point in how I viewed a character.
-I don't like the over use of people that happens. They are not "evil" nor dose Kang Ta have a reason for them over and over again deceived them like that. Its hard to see full up and down body shots/zoom in just to express "oh they are sexy and trying to use their body to get something".
-Everyone is waving guns and pointing them in each others face but they never just pull the trigger, like an useless prop. The girl cop gun is the worst! No cop would use that gun- impractical.
- If your looking for a Romance- Just run away, not worth your time. It might as well be a side plot. "His beliefs are shaken when he falls in love with a reporter named Jin Bo Bae" I disagree- His beliefs are shaken by betrayal, death and his family. Han Chae Young dose a great job of acting like BoBae but I don't believe she has personal growth. Her role is strong at the start but at the end for me she's just a supporting role for Kang Ta's emotions. Jang Mi is a much more of a strong role as she is a completely different person at the end. Even Vivian has more growth than the female lead.
-The end- your just glad that you made it, but you don't care if anyone is dead or alive or together or happy lol

I have watched both this and the drama. You watch for almost an hour before the actors are interacting in the real world. For me too much time was used there and not enough at the end. This leads to their whole relationship being rushed and no development of any of their friends. Other than the leads the rest of the cast is not needed. They never talk about Xiao Nai's game company other than a tiny bit to end the show and you miss everything that Wei Wei dose there. Which for me is important to their relationship!
The game play is great and what I want to see. The acting is great too. Did I enjoy the movie? Heck ya 100% best kiss I'v seen this year. But the drama is better. Come at me xD

First I have read the manhwa, just not all of it. It did not effect the viewing. What effected me the most would be past dramas of people from another world coming to the modern day. This one is just not as good as those.
I had a really hard time watching Yoon So Ah. Nothing about the actress but I just hate the role. I found her over acting taking everything away from the show. Its fine in the middle but the start and the end is just bad. I had I hard time understanding her actions.
I had a hard time with him coming back- We all know it is going to hurt them more as he has to go back. I just did not feel their love at all until the last few ep. I needed to see more of them loving each other first and more of him in his world without her.
The plot would be good but they added horrible ideas to fluff it up. Weird aggressive kiss to give "grace" or something- i don't see the point as nothing horrible happend to him so why give it so hard lol The part with her dad- we all know how that is going to end. So why put it like that lol
Product placement was horrible- so distracting.
Also- I loved his first look with that hair and then after that I missed it, It went so well with his vib and they throw it away. Personaly I think they used his body to try to get viewers- They show all of it right away...and then the bath bits... AND then she starts fantasizing about his sweaty shirt. Tell me girls if you'v seen his whole body why would him in a shirt be special now lol I would only recommend this for someone that needs a body show LOL

-Super cutie and bubbly-sweet innocence . Great kisses! You will hate the show if this is not your thing and Just leave now. This show was easy to watch and time drifts by. I really love the dog and cat sound effect they added in for the leads. It made me feel like they had their own communication world. There was not a moment I felt dragged down by extra filler drama because the couple were always interacting with each other. With Gu Wei Yi being so tall, it really added to his "manly" bits as he could pick her up xD No 2nd lead love interest- sure there are people there but I just don't care/see them having any effect on the leads.
-I don't really like the plot description here. "She is confused about her future plans. She tries out all sorts of things all the time and is unable to make her own decisions." Thats not really true as she has already decided to switch her major from accounting to advertising and is looking for an internship in that field but is having issues as its not what she is studying. I would instead say that a childhood crush is holding her back from entering into her next stage of life. Her crush really brings her down but once she notices its just one-sided, she leaves it behind her. I have no idea what she is trying out all sorts of things- Like she dose not try other jobs or other interests. You also never see her struggle with a decision.
-Even thought they are in collage- about to graduate- this is more of a high school love than a mature love. For sure just like all the other "accidentally end up living together" dramas. I love those tho. For me, there is not a lot of growth. Gu Wei Yi learns about being in love(old book is funny)- its not that he is cold, he is very warm and thoughtful but his science brain leads to the wrong decision ex- she found out her work was taking her credit for an ad, she was upset about it and he ended up making it worse-he did fix it by that night. He has cutie- confessions even tho they are too smart for her- 2 notes + snowman fail- Also the way he grow up is different so he never thought to tell her about Germany until he knew he was going(we all knew he was anyways but he did not believe it). Si Tu Mo- with her past relationship she has problems with other girls around him but at the end she stand up for herself "I'm his girlfriend" instead of running away.
-Ending- 100% rushed but it is a good ending and is still them being cutie. We all knew he was going to Germany and I don't understand how Si Tu Mo had no idea his last test of the year was the deciding factor. He had decided to do this before they even meet and to be honest she should have been happy right away for him instead of upset over not knowing- its not like he was all set to go. I have no idea how long they have been together at that point other than many a semester? Them getting him ready is so cutie. Never once is it brought up what he is doing there and very little interaction of people from the plot there- Its crappy, English is bad. and I wanted to poke my eye out. She quits work- good for her but I wish they would have showed credit bring taken from her- as in leader is praised for her hard work- After that I'm left wondering what she is going to do for the rest of her life? Is she going to make more ads? Is she still friends with the actor.... or is she drooping everything to be a baby momma? She gets on a plane to see him- cool but not once did it show she could not do a visa herself but had to have him do it. Worst meet up ever, just Blah. Wedding is rushed over all as he never even asks her. I don't really like him just taking her there. Then they are home and have more cutie bits as a couple. I do not need to see them with a kid- its what 2 or 3? You only see that the kid is picking up their habits AND THEM STATING THERE AND SMILING..... forever. I know its the cut away scene but it started to get creepy. At lest have the parents huge each other in that mom/dady love pose lol And now I'm ranting.
-I would recommend this still! As for re-watching- for sure could watch them interacting but not the whole thing again.

This drama starts out great The CGI, I think it is fun. The introduction of the characters is good and you know their roles.
First problem- She eats the fruit of the tree and is changed(fly jump thing) but in the episodes I watched nothing is ever said about her having ability again- maybe they explained it and I missed it, maybe it was temp or shows up again. BUT she never questioned him about it nor say anything about if he had eaten it. He goes on and on about learning their meds to heal the tree and wanting to save it but for me it feel unimportant. If your going to say a whole tribe needs the tree than why is he not testing to fit the problem. He never goes to check on the tree nor is anything really done with his tribe... the only thing you see is his friend and that girl. If I found a cool new world, I would want to go back again.
The whole show starts to drag and I find my mind wondering and feel the need to do something else. Sure they are cutie together but I just do not care anymore about them, which is sad as her and him meeting and bring him to her world was so much fun. Its loses everything. I need more time of just them or less of the uninteresting side plots. Without a solid plot I just don't feel the need to keep watching.
