DEFINITELY OVERHYPED!! AND CALLING IT A HUMAN HEALING DRAMA IS VERY FAR FETCHED
First, of all the toxic relationship throughout the initial episodes is hard to ignore. Yes, the main leads are eye candy for most of the people and the drama has top tier OSTs, very good chemistry and aesthetics but it doesn't cover up a lot of the irrational things that happened throughout the drama.The female lead is made too dramatic to be a children's book writer. She has several mental health issues but she recovered overnight when the male lead decided to love and live in with her. No consultation or treatment from psychologists or psychiatrists for someone who is suffering from mental problems for years. How ridiculous?? They never made it a point to highlight that she needed to visit a doctor and no a lover can't do that work. She has issues herself but she is the one teaching the patients at the hospital. Exactly why??
Also, the fact she used to dress like she is about to walk on the ramp of New York fashion week is the most ridiculous of all. Her publishing house went bankrupted, she was living in a rural area, her employees were barely getting salary, eating at subway because there's no food at home. What nonsense was going on?? In which world a children's book writer does these things?
A rather foolish and very dramatic portrayal of mental health I would say and the way they romanticised it was a major let down.

This will definitely end up being one of my top kdramas this year!!!
Four episodes into the drama and I am super addicted. A much awaited extremely good fantasy romance drama. Not only the leads are eye candy but the entire main cast. The whole cast is just perfect ( chef's kiss ). And the chemistry between the main leads is off the charts, it's like they were born to play the roles.Things may seem a little bit fast moving to some people but the director was so right to do this because they're not hanging us and not dragging a scene which is very important. Also, love those dialogues especially those profound conversations between Tak Dong and Myul Mang.
When it comes to acting we all know PBG is the queen of expressions. Love, love, love her acting. And we're yet again getting the taste of Seo Inguk's versatile acting. Damn, he is so perfect for the role and I couldn't think of another actor who would have done justice to Myul Mang's the character. The director was so right in casting both of them as the leads. And, did I mention the ost lineup is just crazy?

STAYS TRUE OF IT'S NAME!!!
I couldn't get past even the first episode. They're trying so hard but the show is so unfunny. The dialogues are abysmal ugh im so disappointed. I had high expectations, and it's a major let down. They're making fuss about the lamest things which leaves you a feeling of cringe when you're supposed to laugh. I waited so long but they couldn't make me laugh not even once. Where's the comedy in this sitcom?? I'm sorry, but it was not worthy of even 25 mins and no I don't have to like a drama just because kpop idols are there.Was this review helpful to you?
