Feel good

Premise of the story was good and the actors were well suited to their role.

I liked the idea of having a dinner mate without knowing their names, Maybe I should try it sometime hahaha!

It was a feel good drama that made me sigh every so often. There was a mental health challenge thrown in as well. I like the way it resolved along the way.

The kdrama all in all was about trusting strangers, falling in love, embracing the past, understanding it's implication on the future, and forgiveness. It made me feel good at the end of it.

Thank you and well done to the whole cast and crew!

Great start, mediocre ending. The promise of a great story kept me till the end. The acting of the young characters was commendable. The friendship between Minsung and Lee Kang was enviable. But somewhere along the way, the story fizzled out. As if the writer lost interest or did I just miss the plot? The episodes after epi 5 seemed shorter because it kept me wanting. It took 14 episodes before Lee Kang knew of Cha young's connection to his childhood.

They started so well! Anyway...i cheered for the characters till the end. Good effort everyone, i still enjoyed watching it :)

Good riddance start up, hello Kim Seon Ho!

Great start.

Maybe I should stop at great start HAHA! The drama made me think of only one character, and that is HJP. The writer built up HJP (kim seon ho) to almost perfection that I hated what happened or what did not happen to him.

Nam do san ( nam joo hyuk) and Dalmi's ( bae suzy) character disappeared into oblivion. Sure, the drama was all about them but as the episodes go by I did not care anymore what they did.

I stopped at episode 14 as the ending was predictable from there. I saved me 2 hours of annoyance and frustration.

Yes HJP deserves better. I am actually thankful that he did not end up with Dalmi .

Goodbye start up, hello Kim Seon Ho!

No marriage thanks!

Okay this was fun enough to watch, missing a lilttle bit of a punch to make it exceptional.

The premise is far fetched but original..remembering your previous lives and meeting the same loved one in the present life... how cool is that!

The drama is all about choosing a path that works for you. Marrying self was fun to watch but then making a commitment to stay and love each other without marriage is relevant to the present times.

Enjoyed it. Thanks!

Oh wow, W is a favorite.

The story line was unique and how the story unfolded was great. I seriously clapped my hands when I finished the drama in the shortest possible time.

Bravo to the writer of W. I thought how did he think that every twist and turn would work?

I saw a few dramas of similar genre afterwards and I did not feel the same way as W. I was not lured in the story like W did to me.

Thank you cast and crew of W!

Sweet

Hometown chacha... I must be dumb cause I still cannot connect the relevenace of the title to the drama.Yes it was hometown but is there other interpretation to chacha aside from the dance that is typically danced back and forth? Repeatitive hometown lifestyle....?

Anyway, I was so interested in the drama because of the main characters. Oh my Venus is still one of my favorites, and I want redemption for Kim seon ho from Start Up. I am hoping there is another drama lined up for Kim heon so as this drama still kept me wanting.

The drama was sweet, and lots of scenes that made me sigh.There were times though when I thought more depth should have been added. Did others feel that too?

Hometown Chacha has good actors, nice setting, and it is essentially a feel good drama. ?????

Hard to describe

I watched the drama a month after the series finished. Lee.Minho is definitely a looker in this drama. His love interest is not a fave as well but hey this is my personal opinion only. Anyway, friends kept talking about this drama so I started watching it.

It is a drama that will confuse you if you do not pay attention. Parallel worlds with identical people ... how does one explain that? It is cleverly written and I am sure hard to portray.

I felt like the expression of love was a bit subtle. There are moments that moved me but a lot of times, Lee Gon could have shown more, done more towards the girl. I was not convinced that he truly loved her. Must be the facial expression...To be fair, he looked the part, so dashing, tall, and handsome. He did not give up till he found the right Eun ul!

The ending was a bit disappointing for me. I wanted them to be together forever like everyday, not just weekends. They should have resolved the issue of having an identical counterpart so they can marry. But hey it is not my story to tell.

It looks like an expensive drama. It showed class and all.
Lee Min ho , you are so handsome!

Well done to the cast and crew! I tend to thank them in my reviews because they did their darnest to entertain us :):).

Designated survivor is a brilliantly written political drama that keeps you guessing till the end. It is well thought out the way the episodes were laid out. I was hooked from the first scene to the last. I even finished the credits at the end to see if there was more!

The acting was great and believable. The sound or music evoked my emotion and suited each and every scenario.

The drama was a journey of self discovery, sacrifice, hope, ideals and dreams to build a better nation.

I liked it when the Sec Cha said about acting president Park Mun jin " he is different, he always win but no one loses". Imagine a world where our leaders do things in a win-win situation. There were so many one liners or one sentence statements in the drama that spoke to me.

I definitely enjoyed watching it. It gave me positive vibes. It made me hope for a better world if we have the right leaders.

Thank you cast and crew of Designated Survivor
Bravo!!!

I resisted the urge to watch this drama because I did not want to wait too much for the next episode. Oh well I failed.miserably because there is no stopping once you start.

Quite a unique plot for a love story. It is funny and profound. The characters are lovable. Great acting all around.

It made me curious on how people actually live in North Korea.

There is a sense of simplicity and order in the North compared to Seri's life in South Korea. Seri was a breath of fresh air to the people she encountered. She was the odd one that definitely stood out.

So looking forward to what happens next.....

Love it!

I have a new favorite actor in joo ji hoon. He is seriously attractive in this role haha! I love the characters, their acting and interaction! Each episode test their acting abilities to the max, never a dull moment. I thought episode 6 was very short but it was just me wanting more :).


Looking forward to more bickering, twists and most of all the momentary glimpses of tenderness. It is a balanced drama. So far, so goooood!

Storyline, actors music...love them all!

Love for family, friends and lovers have been conveyed ever so effectively. Definitely touched my heart. I have to rewatch some scenes because I just want to! Love the simplicity and rawness of emotions. I found the character of Lim Whi fun, real, and endearing. I mean all actors did so very well! The setting was in winter but this drama exudes so much warmth, love, and kindness.

Loved all the characters. Seo kang joon was soooo attractive in his role. So enigmatic and subdued. Sooo consistent in his acting. His character Eun sop is the kind of guy you want for a son, a brother, a friend, a book club member, a neighbor, and of course a lover. He is too good to be true! I just want to keep looking at him though...sigh.

Thank you. This drama made me happy.
