Ur love is so DIVINE...
The plot starts off very slow and realistic but has plot twists within the middle of the movie. After that happens, the plot picks up and that's what makes you more interested in what will happen next.
As for the soundtrack/OST, not the most memorable. It just was okay. The acting on another note was beautiful. I love Choi Woo Shik, Kim Dami, and Go Min Si in this movie. I really think the cast was well picked and the actors did an amazing job with the acting and portraying each of their characters.
I would rewatch this movie if I wanted to, and I am really hoping and excited if there is a PART 2 to this movie.

The acting was really good, and everybody acted their characters well. I also really loved the cast that was chosen. I just wasn't really fond of Joon-woo's character and his strategy throughout the movie. As for the Music, there was only one song that I remember. I feel like it fit the scenes, but it didn't really have the most impact and wasn't the most memorable song that they picked.
I probably wouldn't rewatch this movie unless I was forced to, but it was very different from what I anticipated it to be. I would consider this movie to be decent to watch, but don't get your hopes up from the trailer as I did.

Has it's bad and good sides to it
For starters, this drama is very unique and different from reality shows that I have seen. I really like the overall theme of finding love and seeing if that person will accept you based on your dark secret. I have never seen a reality show ever that has the same theme as this which made me enjoy the drama. But-I really hated the hosts specifically the male host. They made so many insensitive jokes to people throughout the drama which anger you. At first, it wasn't bad but it gets worse throughout the nine episodes.
The double standards of slut-shaming women even though a man did a similar thing and isn't called a slut is ridiculous. They made tons of transphobic jokes and rape jokes. They just in general have many insensitive jokes which I don't find funny. Unbelievable even. Mainly, I skipped every part with the hosts because it was painful to watch their insensitive jokes every two seconds.
Another thing that I also didn't like is that they kept a wardrobe malfunction in the beginning, they could have edited it out. It just made me uncomfortable seeing how they treated the women throughout the series. It's honestly sickening and disgusting,
Would I recommend this? Probably not. Would I rewatch this? Probably not. Is it worth your time? If you get past the insensitive jokes and how annoying the hosts are maybe you can enjoy it. Plus the revealing of the secrets makes things interesting.

The only thing about it is that I really wish that the director made it longer in episodes. With only nine episodes, I feel like it had too much going on in the plot and too many characters for just nine episodes. It's hard to focus on all that's going on in a short matter of time. Other than that though I really love the plot. At first, it seems predictable and generic especially with the main character Natsume. But there are plot twists that happen and things that make it more interesting along the way.
The soundtrack was very very good, it really does fit all the scenes. In my opinion, it's very memorable and I love it so much. The acting was also very good, everybody played their characters well and I really loved the lgbtq+ stuff they added in this series. I really love the cast too.
I really would consider rewatching this show again. I also doubt it but I am hoping for a season two.

Although the plot was good, it did have plot twists that I didn't expect at first but it all added up in the ending. The acting throughout the series was good and personally, I really loved this series. I really loved the soundtrack, but the soundtrack wasn't memorable in my opinion. The acting was very good, and the chemistry was there with all the characters.
Overall this drama wasn't the worst drama I have seen, but I can see why some people may not like it. It's very good, and I would recommend watching it. I don't think I would rewatch it again. This was also one of the first dramas I have seen, and I have no remorse after watching it.

Another good thing about this K-drama that is different from most dramas is that there are always love triangles, but in this series, it's impossible to get second lead syndrome by the way everything is portrayed from the plot.
I absolutely loved the soundtrack, I think it really fits with the series. It wasn't the most memorable, but it especially fits with all of the scenes that were shown. The acting was phenomenal. All the actors did such a good job portraying their characters which I think is very important in a series. Some parts made me emotional because you get so attached to characters.
The series starts off slow from the beginning, but by the end of the first episode, it catches your interest to keep watching more. For me, I am very interested in a Sci-fi or Romance type of series and this series would be one of the ones I would recommend if you are into that type of stuff.

I also really loved how relatable it is, and throughout the series, the overall message is that every love story may or may not have a good ending which is a very relatable message. The overall thing I hate with this drama is the second lead syndrome you get, it just breaks my heart. This series was truly a masterpiece though. The soundtrack is very memorable, and I am obsessed with this.
And lastly, the acting was amazing and everybody had chemistry. I really loved this series and I recommend it to anybody. I would definitely rewatch it infinite times if I could.

At first, I couldn't get past the first few episodes, because of the slow-starting plot. Although, the plot was well written it kind of disappointed my expectations with what I thought it was going to be like. When you watch it, you mainly get a minimalist and calming feel from this series. I feel like it may have been too calming and slow for my liking, but I like the feeling that this series was going for.
I would say, even though it wasn't my kind of drama the acting was amazing. The cast all played their parts well. The soundtrack fits with a lot of scenes and was very captivating. Not really memorable to me, but the song choices were amazing. I definitely wouldn't rewatch it again, but I am happy to say I have seen it once.
I would recommend it to people who are more interested in slower plots and a calm feel with a minimalist touch to it. The chemistry is also amazing and I really love that aspect of it more than the drama itself.

A very entertaining reality show
This reality show was very entertaining and filled with tons of surprises. This was one of the first reality shows that I have seen and I really enjoy it. I highly recommended this to anybody who likes reality shows.Firstly, the theme or concept of it was not what I expected. Two people act together and basically film kissing scenes and that's where the chemistry or lovey-dovey feelings happen. The idea of it is really unique and I love the casts who acted in the show. If you are into romantic reality shows this one really hits different.
The only thing I wasn't fond of in this series were the plot twists in some episodes, it added some twists and unfair things on the show which angered me. Other than, that if you're looking for a romantic Japanese drama where people act and kiss I recommend this, it's way better than I thought it would be and it will have you on the edge of your seat with who ends up together.

Entertaining but has cons...
When I first saw this show I was shocked by how much I loved it. I don't even like reality tv shows that much, but this series was an exception. If you like the show squid game, then this show is for you. (Except without the dying part.) It has quests and challenges that the contestants have to complete no matter their age, gender, etc. These challenges and quests are physically exhausting and hard, but it's to see overall who is the best out of 100 contestants. I liked this concept, and I like how the show gave multiple contestants the chance to showcase their unique abilities. You will have certain contestants you like and others you aren't fond of. The challenges have you on the edge of your seat. Yes, you may feel frustrated by certain scenes, and you will definitely have favorites who you root for and want to win.One of the things I hated about the series was the editing. I noticed that as you're watching the show, the editors want you to sort of focus on certain people from the beginning. Some of the other contestants barely got screen time and at certain points, I was confused about who was eliminated or who certain people were who were shown only in the finale or the very beginning to never be seen again. They also didn't really introduce everybody from the start of the first episode, and some people in the series were majorly forgotten about. I just don't like how the show wants you to root for certain contestants without fairly showing off some of the forgotten contestants. I just think it's really unfair, but what do you expect from a reality show?
Another thing I hated was how much contestants were underestimated, this isn't the show's fault but it was annoying to see. This mainly happened in team challenges and many would underestimate contestants with smaller builds than them or if they were female then the assumption would be that they aren't strong enough. With this part, I might be looking too far into it, but this part irritated me so much because there were many times when people proved the opposing teams wrong that looked down on them.
Don't get me wrong, I do still love this series which is why I rated it high despite those cons. The music wasn't memorable, and I wouldn't rewatch this since I already know who gets eliminated in the quests and who wins the show. I do recommend watching if you can look past those elements and just enjoy watching the challenges and quests.
